DiRT Series

The latest batch of discounts on the European PlayStation Store has quite a lot for racing fans. The sale kicked off on Friday and will last until December 22. All offers are subject to an active PlayStation Plus membership.

Digital storefront Humble Bundle has added a range of racing-themed discounts to its game selection. Targeting a range of sim and arcade racers alike, PC players shouldn’t miss out on chances to pick up cheap versions of titles on the platform.

Welcome to Mirror Mode, GTPlanet’s series that shines a spotlight on retro racing games. This time, we explore one of the most influential sim racers of the PlayStation generation: Colin McRae Rally 2.0.

DiRT 4 always faced a challenging road to release. After the immensely successful DiRT Rally, Codemasters now had two sets of fan to please: the thrill-loving mainline series fans and those enthralled by the hardcore spin-off. The good news then, is that DiRT 4 manages to impress on both sides generally but that doesn’t mean it’s without its blemishes.

Today is a good day for North American rally fans: DiRT 4 is officially now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

With DiRT 4 a mere week away, Codemasters has released a new version of The DiRT Show to build some last hype. Chaired by Rallycross commentator Andrew Coley, he takes a look at some behind-the-scenes elements of DiRT 4’s development.

A brand new DiRT 4 trailer has released, featuring the game’s Rallycross mode.

As we edge ever closer to June, Codemasters has released the full supported racing wheel list for DiRT 4.

We’re now in the final month before DiRT 4’s launch. With the game fast approaching, Codemasters has released another Road Book detailing the game’s two handling modes.

We’re entering the final stretch before DiRT 4 barrels into the homes of gamers in early June. To celebrate, Codemasters has released the first gameplay trailer for the game.

Xbox players aren’t the only ones that get to enjoy savings on racing games this week. The latest North American PlayStation Store PS+ sale brings with it big discounts on two of Codemasters’ more recent offerings and more.

The achievement and trophy list for upcoming rally racer DiRT 4 has been released to the public this week. Codemasters has shown off the type of events and challenges that will put players to the test when the game launches on June 9. The list seems to be a good mix of career-based tasks and general driving tests whilst containing some entertaining names to boot.

One of the most promising features of DiRT 4 is the Your Stage feature, an in-depth track creation tool that players will be able to take advantage of. Codemasters has used the latest iteration of its “Road Book” blog series to tackle this topic and why the team is confident that the tool can deliver worthwhile rally tracks.

Looking forward to the driving in DiRT 4 but still want further details on the features the game will have when it launches in June? PlayStation Access got the chance to go hands-on with the title last week, and has released another video detailing the top eight reasons it believes DiRT 4 provides a full experience outside of the actual racing.

We’re quickly approaching DiRT 4’s mid-June release date, and that means a continuous stream of info on Codemasters’ rally title. The latest video, coming to us care of PlayStation Access, shows off three of the disciplines players will get down and dirty with.

If there’s one thing Codemasters does right in many of its racing games, it must be the audio. The developer’s latest release, DiRT Rally, has received plenty of praise from reviewers for its quite accurate representation of vehicle sounds. The recreation of these beautiful sounds is not an easy task, though.

On the road to DiRT 4′s June release, the official Codemasters blog has had a weekly review of the various features and gameplay elements players can expect when the game is in their hands. First we had a look at the innovative “Your Stage” track creator and then the “Landrush” gameplay mode. This time around, a core element of the title’s career mode has been tackled, as we get a look at the in-depth team management we’ll be able to tackle in the rally racer.

After we learned about DiRT 4’s all-new ‘Your Stage’ feature, Codemasters continues to provide us with more details about what the game will include. Thanks to the DiRT 4 Road Book on the developer’s official blog, we now know how the redesigned Landrush game mode will function. 

Alongside yesterday’s news of DiRT 4 special editions, Codemasters released the first development diary shown above for the upcoming rally game. In it, more light is shed on one of the most interesting features in the game: Your Stage.

Codemasters has taken to its official blog to detail the various versions of DiRT 4 players will be able to choose between when the game releases this June, with multiple options and perks being available to choose from. The differences between each edition mostly seem to be related to in-game items so those looking for some physical goodies may be slightly disappointed.
