I hope DR3 will include the locations from DR2/1 that I've come to love. I know there was harsh criticism about DR1 locations being DLC for DR2 but I was just so glad to have them.

Good to see optimism in the team, but experience tells me that time will prove me right.

Yeah the positivity is nice but you have to be real and look at EA's history. Like 25 years of destruction. I've seen many franchises be killed by EA and they all start with the same "but at least money won't be a problem". Well no, but you trade it out for soul. And without a soul, your franchise dies. There's no doubt in my mind that it will kill the DiRT Rally series in due time. Perhaps we're lucky and DR3 comes out good, though. For me, all Codies games are DOI from now on unless proven otherwise.

Can't see it either.

I'd rather you guys kept it to immersive banners rather than actual advertising regardless. Why do I have to see the latest Codies game or some stupid twitter hashtag anyway? You shouldn't be bombarding your paying customers with ads and slogans. I want to forget the real world and race a rally car not drive through an advertising platform.

Will it now be the last piece of content for sure @PJTierney? Or is there still something in the pipeline.

Ah well, I'm hoping we'll at least be able to save more setups with the new update though.

In what world does "rock-solid 30fps" feel as smooth as 60fps?

The dream is of course that DR3.0 releases in 2023 with the usual cars + the new wrc cars, the wrc locations etc. But I don't think that is what will happen. It'll be a continuation of the current WRC series but by Codemasters. Similar to what F1 now is.

DR2 makes very clever use of 2D sprites for the dust right? Is this different? Also I would very much like for Codemasters to go a bit more in depth with a blog or video in the future about EGO engine.

Here's some cars we lost from EGO powered DiRT games over the years. I hope we might see them back. Group B (RWD): [DiRT1] Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Group B (4WD): [DiRTR] Audi Sport quattro S1 Group A: [DiRT3] Toyota Celica GT-Four Up to 2000cc: [DiRT1] Citroën Xsara [DiRT3] Fiat Grande Punto S2000 [DiRT3] Peugeot 207 S2000 [DiRT1] Peugeot 307 [DiRT3] Subaru Impreza (2007) R4/NR4: [DiRTR] Subaru Impreza WRX STI N13 (2011) R5: [DiRT4] Hyundai R5 Up to 1600cc: [DiRTR] Ford Focus RS (2011) [DiRTR] Hyundai i20 (2014) [DiRTR] Mini Countryman

From what I read OnRush in on a modified/upgraded version of the EGO engine too.

Happy to see they split up the series' focus now. DiRT 4 was just too confused.

I mainly just don't want to lose any cars we currently have. The current list is amazing. Besides the obvious or the unattainable, there aren't any cars that are truly missing in DR2.0. Maybe an Up to 1600cc class for ~2012 wrc cars like in the original DiRT Rally.
