Shit, the whole trailer was going just fine with snow and rain in rally, but then suddenly it takes a drop to America and start seeing cars jumping and drifting under a truck....Urrghhh *facepalm*

Having played Dirt 2, I know this game will focus more on X-Ga(y)mes and Bajas than proper Rally.

And you know that Dirt3 will have shitty rally when Ken Block is the main star of the game....

Please stop trying to look smart, you're looking dumb saying that... Dirt 1(the best of the series) had actually a lot more variety than Dirt 2(the first had more types of vehicles AND more vehicles to choose in each class) AND had a lot more rally. A LOT more. It also had a lot of normal races and not just rally. Dirt 1 was a great game.

Even if you don't believe it, it has to do with America. You see, Codemasters(from UK - Europe) has been doing Colin McRae's rally games(great rally games, including real rally cars, real tracks and real drivers ?) for many years and they were indeed very good(some might say that Richard Burns was better, I agree) RALLY games. They also did some of the best racing games I've played(TOCA, TOCA Race Driver series).

They went on this generation of consoles to make Dirt and GRID as an upgrade to the respective series. The point is they've stopped worrying about great physics or simulation or even realism to just make great graphics to appeal the sensitive eyes of the majority of their new clients(american kids mostly, that didn't even know what rally was). Dirt 1 and 2 probably sold more that all those rally games they made the past generations. That's the sole reason that they're still making them. Or do you really think that Ken Block, Travis Pastrana and some fucking bimbos are really rally racers ? Hell no !!!
Ken Block is a fucking joke, just look at him. A fucking boy with an oversized cap on his head with some pubes going down his chin. He's just ridiculous, man !!!

We're not whining or crying, we just like proper race games and are Codemasters' fans since the early years. We don't like the fact that they dumb dow every game for a certain kind of species("Americania").

While playing Dirt 2, I had the feeling that they weren't honoring the name Colin McRae at all, in fact I felt they were just using his name on the cover to sell more. I'm not blaming Codemasters for being sellouts and greedy, I'm not blaming America for it's majority being dumb, I'm just sad that we(rally fans and whatnot) won't probably see a proper rally game for the near future being. WRC is coming out made by Milestone(great SBK games) but it looks like shit(the gameplay) so far(let's hope for a demo). WRC in GT5 isn't really gonna make it with made-up dirt tracks. And now this trailer looks very good as all the Dirt games look, but it ends with a premise that the game will favour X-Games and Gymkhanas instead of rally or great physics. Probably with even less cars.

As for Codemasters, the original fans are hoping that they redeem themselves by making a proper F1 game, it's a great test for them. Let's hope it'll be a great game.
