Dirt Showdown

butent cia yra serijos arcade spinoffas . vis dar tikimasi ir rimta Dirt4 sima pamatyt.aisku tiketis galima visko

Showdown offers three different types of racing, starting with 'Hoonigan' events. These in turn include modes such as Smash Hunters (where you have to smash objects within a time limit), Trick Rush (where you have to perform stunts for points), and Head 2 Head (a high score challenge against other players).

 

The other two racing types are standard races and demolition events, each with their own set of sub-modes. There's also a career mode, online multiplayer for up to eight people, and two-player split screen action.

 

Also brand new is a mission mode called Joyride, which is being compared to Need For Speed's Autolog. The handling will have a simpler arcade style feel, and allow your car to perform stunts more easily.

 

We're assured that DiRT 4 is still being made and will be a serious simulation, so if Showdown helps draw out the poison of more arcade style elements we imagine it'll be welcomed by both sets of fans

 

Codemasters has announced the latest instalment in its Colin McRae racing series, DiRT Showdown, for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in 2012.

As promised, Codemasters have today revealed additional details about the latest entry in the DiRT series, DiRT Showdown.

 

In DiRT Showdown, players will jump into a new world of competitive and combative racing, boosting, tricking and smashing their way to ‘Showdown’ finals on a chaotic tour of motorised mayhem.

 

“DiRT Showdown is not the sequel to the authentic rally-centric DiRT 3, but a brand new experience from the DiRT team,” said Julian Widdows, VP, development. “We’re building on Codemasters Racing Studio’s world-class strengths in track design, graphics, AI, damage and online to create a new theatre of racing with the emphasis on accessibility and fun from race one.”

 

“DiRT Showdown charges into the arcade racing space with a uniquely Codemasters feel,” said Mike Chapman, senior games designer. “Whether players are using nitrous to boost, smashing into their opponents or pulling off stunts, DiRT Showdown’s fresh handling system and super-charged damage engine embed excitement into every event.”

 

There are three broad categories to DiRT Showdown’s action-sport racing. Players will use nitrous to blast past rivals and negotiate courses filled with ramps, multiple routes and obstacles in full-contact Racing events. Gaming’s most advanced damage engine is unleashed in Demolition Derby themed events where players smash and crash their way to victory in bone-jarring style. Finally, in Hoonigan events, gamers will send fans wild in huge stunt parks where accessible new controls offer every player the chance to become a freestyle driving hero.

 

From San Francisco to Miami and London to Tokyo, players will dominate their rivals and wow the crowds. Pyrotechnics, lasers and thousands of fans give each venue a sports entertainment atmosphere, becoming the perfect stage for players to perform. Over 50 different events across four championships will challenge gamers in a variety of conditions – sun, snow and rain – through the day and under the floodlights at night.

 

DiRT Showdown will feature an exciting new line up of off-road machines. Ken Block’s all new Gymkhana FOUR H.F.H.V. Ford Fiesta debuts alongside an eclectic mix of vehicles across a range of classes. From saloons and muscle cars to pick-up-trucks, hearses and vans, players have a wide selection of custom cars to trick, race and destroy.

 

DiRT Showdown will be Codemasters’ most connected game ever – split-screen multiplayer, eight-player online racing, on and off-line quick-fire party games and YouTube integration all come as standard. Players will also be able to issue ‘Showdown Challenges’ to compete with friends whether they are online or not.

 

Powered by the EGO Game Technology Platform, DiRT Showdown will be uncaged on May 2012 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

Due to be released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC in May 2012, the game will feature Demolition Derby smash-em-up levels alongside the regular races.

 

"Dirt Showdown offers us the opportunity to fully showcase fun styles of play without any limitations," Mike Chapman, senior games designer on the game, told Gamasutra.

 

In this way, Chapman hopes that "Dirt Showdown will be a more accessible experience [than the rest of the series] in addition to offering a great amount of variety to players."

 

While Dirt Showdown is a spin-off from the main series, the team is looking to drive as much polish as possible into the title, giving Showdown its own look and feel.

 

"We feel it's important for Dirt Showdown to have its own personality," notes Chapman. "The content and how the game plays will be unique to Showdown and it's still going to be offering a compelling racing and driving experience that existing Dirt players will appreciate."

 

"It's never been about straying from the heart of the Dirt franchise," he ensures us. "It's about widening the scope, building on our engine and offering players more ways to enjoy the series."

 

With this in mind, Showdown associate producer Iain Smith explains exactly how the game will feel different to the main installments.

 

"[The races] challenge the player to be a little more strategic, picking the best route to get ahead and being a little cunning in their overall approach," he says. "For example, do you shoot off to the front and become a target for other drivers, or evade, hang back and smash the leader out at a crossover or into a tire wall?"

 

The Demolition Derby events are brand new to Dirt, with players smashing into each other to gain points and emerge from the wreckage victorious.

 

"We have drop-in ramps, bowls and under stage areas which are all really conducive to action and collisions. Our aim is to deliver on the premise of ‘theaters of racing’ where players get a fresh, thrilling experience from event to event," notes Smith.

 

Of course, tricks in Dirt games have been possible before Showdown -- however, Smith explains that the stunt system has been given a complete revamp for this particular release.

 

"The actual mechanics of [the tricks] have been honed massively, there's a much more intuitive 'instant feedback' feel that our physics programmers have worked very hard to get right."

 

He continues, "The gameplay itself is very much object and environment-oriented. You'll perform drifts, jumps, spins and donuts, but it's about how you interact with the environment itself that’s cool. Whether that’s drifting through a tiny gap between forklift trucks or doing a 360 degree spin mid-jump. Getting each of those tricks right in different surroundings really provides the challenge."

 

While the team is excited about this spin-off move, Chapman is quick to stress that the main series will continue as it has been, and design decisions with regards to Showdown will not spill over into the next Dirt.

 

"Dirt Showdown is a full boxed product in its own right and is the current focus of the team," he notes. "But that doesn't mean that we aren't carefully considering the direction of Dirt 4, or whatever we eventually call that game."

 

"We absolutely don't want to confuse players into thinking that we're abandoning our previous work or aren't committed to building on it in the future," he continues. "Dirt Showdown offers us the chance to diversify and provide a unique new Dirt experience from a team who are committed to creating the best possible driving and racing games."

 

"We will definitely be returning to some of the more traditional elements of the Dirt series with a renewed sense of focus and purpose in the future," he finishes.
