DiRT 3 Colin McRae: DiRT 3

[Bram Hengeveld]

We are giving away our last of three DiRT 3 copies for PC with a "guess the lap time" competition. Guess the lap time of our moderator Nick Brooke as he drove (and filmed) a lap around Alpine Stars Trophy Finland Course with a Peugeot 207 4WD.



The competition runs for a week and one entry per person is allowed. Submit your guess via this link and maybe you'll be the winner of a free game and become very DIRTY soon.

Thats the influence of EA for sure.

Hi guys, i noticed today that on Amazon UK Dirt 3 is only listed for Xbox and PS3, the PC version has gone. Its the same on GAME.co.uk, Gamestation, HMV, Zavvi etc.

What has happened to the PC version?

Could it be a repeat of F1 2010's release with Codies pulling the DVD version and forcing everyone to download via Steam?

It was enver on GAME.co.uk or play.com for the PC Version, there are only PS3 & Xbox360 Version's, looks like they are forcing people to buy it via download or they are not supporting it for pc all together.

this is the only place which sells it for PC (where im buying it from) - http://www.thegamecollection.net/dirt-3-pc-p-4406.html?keywords=dirt 3

graphics looks the same as in dirt 2. hope that rally stages will be more like rally, if not then mods will fix everything

 

[Gerben Kelly]

Looking forward to this game

This is just codemasters going Ken Block all the way...
Was already bad in Dirt 2, now it will just be...

Only one thing they need to do, make real Special Stages and ditch the Block formula. It would end up as a pretty nice arcade rally game.

It's already available to pre-order on steam £26.99 for us guys in the UK

Without reading it but thought some of you are interested in it, the gamespot preview.

Dirt 3 wastes no time in making the point that rallying is back. While it was present in Dirt 2, the extreme sports aesthetic and overall feel made it feel slightly out of place--but in Dirt 3, point-to-point races in classic rally cars are front and center.

Full preview here at gamespot.co.uk

DiRT 3 allows you to upload your favourite 30 second clips from the game straight to YouTube. In the first of our 'Straight from the Studio' series, we allow the developers to do exactly that. In this clip someone from the studio nails the perfect drifts in the DC Compound at Battersea.
