Codemasters has released a teaser screenshots of its new DiRT game that will be revealed tomorrow. From the looks of it, this will be the sequel to DiRT Rally; a rally game that impressed everyone with its sim mechanics.
Now the reason I’m saying this is a sequel to DiRT Rally is because yesterday Codemasters tweeted numbers “2.0”. The previous part in the DiRT series was DiRT 4 so it makes little sense to release a remastered or a 2.0 version of it. On the other hand, a proper sequel to DiRT Rally can be titled DiRT Rally 2.0, so this makes more sense.
2.0

Furthermore, this teaser screenshot screams DiRT Rally so I guess we can safely say that Codemasters’ new racing game is DiRT Rally 2.
Codemasters will officially reveal its new game tomorrow morning at 10:30 BST, so stay tuned for more!

At least they can evolve a little more their engine which at this point is starting to look quite dated compared to other racing games.
Their previous game both looked and played worse than Rally. Rally had its issues (moon physics and ridiculous AI times being some of them). Hopefully they can work some of these issues out for the next release.
Where’s ma fckn Grid!
Again…?
Yea no kidding. Seems they are doing the annual thing with this series now too.
It’s Audi Quattro S1 in that screenshot.
BTW, it’s kinda sad that nobody wants to make a game with real-life track lengths, like in Mobil 1 British Rally Championship from 2000. Finishing a long track in this game gave a nice feeling of accomplishment. You had to care about your car or else one of numerous components could fail you and prevent you from finishing the race.
