DiRT RALLY coming in 2016
December 29, in the year of our Lord 2015 --
Following a hugely successful release on Steam’s Early Access
program, Codemasters® is bringing DiRT Rally™ to Playstation4,
Xbox One and Windows PC (DVD) on April 5th 2016 with additional
content.
Built by Codemasters and road tested over 60 million miles by
the DiRT community, DiRT Rally is the ultimate rally experience.
It captures the essence of what makes rally unique like no other
game – that sense of trying to remain in control of your
emotions, as you hurtle along dangerous, undulating roads at
breakneck speed, aiming to squeeze everything out of your car
whilst knowing that one crash could irreparably harm your stage
time.
Every stage tests you differently, as you race on the edge of
control across varying surfaces in a range of environments such
as snow, ice, tarmac and dirt and as you tackle a variety of
weather types. As the car suffers attrition, you need to account
for mechanical damage whilst your dedicated rally team tries to
keep you competitive with time-limited repairs. Stages string
together and each rally becomes a marathon-like test of
concentration and skill as you trust in your co-driver, chasing
that ever-elusive perfect run.
DiRT Rally also includes officially licensed World Rallycross
content, allowing you to experience the breathless, high-speed
thrills of some of the world’s fastest off-road cars as you
trade paint with other drivers at some of the series best-loved
circuits, in both singleplayer and high-intensity multiplayer
races.
KEY FEATURES:
• ICONIC RALLY CARS - Rally is about having the right tools, the
right strategy and the right team. DiRT Rally has all of those.
It boasts over 40 of the most iconic and relevant cars from
yesteryear through to modern day, representing the cars that the
players want, and the ones that make the most sense for the
surfaces they race on.
• SIX MASSIVE RALLIES WITH OVER 70 STAGES - Winding paths
through forests, death defying drops off hillsides and narrow
mountain paths are what this is all about, it’s you and your car
versus the road ahead. Head to the muddy paths of Wales, the
dusty trails of Greece and the icy tarmac of Monte Carlo. Take
on the legendary hillclimb of Pikes Peak, the snowy thrills of
Sweden, and the epic scenery of Finland. DiRT Rally has the
iconic locations to test your nerve and delight your senses.
• OFFICIAL FIA WORLD RALLYCROSS CONTENT – Race at the Lydden
Hill, Holjes and Hell tracks in six of the fastest off-road cars
and take on your friends in high intensity, bumper-to-bumper
multiplayer racing.
• UPGRADES, REPAIRS, SETUP AND TUNING - DiRT Rally delivers
depth in areas beyond driving – elements such as repairs,
upgrades, and setup & tuning add a rich and strategic dimension
to your rally experience.
• CHALLENGING, UNCOMPROMISING HANDLING MODEL - To take off-road
racing to a level of realism not reached before, Codemasters has
completely rebuilt the physical simulation for DIRT Rally. To
adequately capture how it feels to race across changing
surfaces, the Codemasters team has created brand new models for
differential, suspension, engine mapping and turbo modelling.
Codemasters has also modelled the way in which loose surfaces
collect under the wheels during lateral sliding, creating a
completely new feel to sliding around corners. This new physical
simulation conveys the character of the compelling selection of
cars as well as conveying the nuances of the game’s high
fidelity racing surfaces.
• TEAM MANAGEMENT - Hire and fire your crew members each of whom
which will have different skills, improving repair times for
different parts of the car. Teach them new skills as they gain
experience and work together as a team to improve your
performance in events.
• RACENET LEAGUE SUPPORT - Get together with friends and run
your very own racing league. Join or create unlimited leagues
and run them how and when you want.
• DAILY, WEEKLY AND MONTHLY RACENET CHALLENGES - It’s you versus
the entire DiRT community in a series of one-day, week-long and
month-long challenges to earn in-game credits to improve your
car and team.
