At last weeks’ Gamers Day press event, Codemasters announced that the sequel to the critically acclaimed DiRT will be arriving in September this year.<\/p>\n
Imaginatively titled DiRT 2, the upcoming racing title will make use of the latest version of the EGO engine. If Codemasters are to live up to their “target screenshots<\/a>”, then the EGO engine still has a way to go. The EGO engine has been most commonly used in racing titles such as the original DiRT and GRID, but will also be powering the upcoming “Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising”.<\/p>\n We are sure that DiRT 2 will look amazing; after all, any improvement on the visuals in DiRT will be impressive. However, we are getting a little tired of these “target screenshots”, commonly referred to as “Bullshots”.<\/p>\n DiRT 2 will feature a World Tour mode which will take players to various locations around the world, including Japan, Malaysia, Baja and Croatia. Codemasters has also promised a properly implemented multiplayer element this time around.<\/p>\n DiRT 2 is planned for a broad multiplatform release, featuring on the PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii, as well as the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.<\/p>\n
