I’ve never quite understood the appeal of racing sims or any racing game that doesn’t involve purposefully crashing into your competition and blowing shit up along the way. Surely all the precision turns, perfectly-timed throttling, not using guard rails as your primary means of slowing down, and all this just to beat the clock couldn’t possibly be much fun. Except it is, and it’s even more so the DiRTier you get.
Codemasters’ newest entry into their rally series DiRT 4 will be launching soon, sending players all around the world on beautiful set locations to race on the same rally tracks that many real-life drivers have conquered themselves. In preparation for the launch which takes place on 9 June 2017, the developer has released a list of peripherals with support for the game, as well as a list of system requirements to run it properly on your PC. Hit the jump for all the info!
And the award for most creative, ultra informative headline ever goes to… anyone other than me. But hey, I’m not great with racing games. Like, I have a passing interest in them because I’m still waiting for a new (good) Need for Speed: Most Wanted, but I find it hard to really get into any of the new ones.
Speaking of new racing games, Dirt 4 was announced all the way back in January, and Wesley was super amped about it. Well, after watching its latest adrenalin rush of a gameplay trailer, I might just be ever so slightly hyped for it too. Maybe. It’s below.
DiRT 4 is coming, and soon! A surprise announcement by Codemasters this past weekend caught just about every rally enthusiast off-guard. Ever since the release of DiRT Rally, Codemasters has been very quiet about their next installation in the series, and Rally took the series back to its hardcore roots. DiRT 4 looks to do much the same, but it’s also taking all the elements that players loved from DiRT 2 and DiRT 3, and incorporating them into the don’t-give-a-damn attitude that Rally introduced to players. This makes me all giddy inside.
