    Yeah. As much as people give the gymkhana element of that game grief, the party modes connected to it were brilliant. 

    Probably controversial but I really enjoyed the free roam gymkhana on dirt 3. The actual career events sucked a bit. The biggest shame was gymkhana in dirt showdown (going to be really controversial here). The dockyard gymkhana arena was really good, and the career events were time attack based if I remember rightly, more like the real life Gymkhana grid events. They were actually pretty good, but the handling sucked and you couldn’t turn off the assists which tried to lock you into doughnuts.

    Dirt 2.3 and GRID were absolutely brilliant games for pick up and play. I had loads of friends that were not at all interested in racing games that would play them all the time. We used to have a blast playing them, particularly the party modes on Dirt 3 and demolition derby on grid

    Codies would lose a serious purchaser base, DR-heads, if they get wind that Dirt 5 has dumbed down the handling in a fundamental way. 

    No way I would buy it. If I want an arcade rally game, I'd go for Art of Rally or somesuch. Dirt 5 is going to have realistic visuals, car interiors, etc. It'd basically suck for players like me with any kind of arcadish handling, and I've no doubt I'm not alone. 

    In the same way that dirt rally 2 sucks for those that want a fun, easy to play racing game? It’s quite simple, skip this game and wait for dirt rally 3

    Let me put this another, simpler way:

    You do not need to dumb down Dirt to differentiate it from Dirt Rally

    It’s not dumbing it down, the series has always been an arcade game. It was only the spin off ‘Rally’ titles that have been simulation (and kind of dirt 4). What is wrong with having two different studios making different games? That’s what forza does

    I think another issue is the stages themselves. Dirt 2/3’s stages were very open and forgiving and suited the handling of the cars, whereas that handling wouldn’t work as well on dirt rally’s stages. I feel if you have arcade handling you need arcade stages, and vice versa.

    Err...the franchise is already splitted into two: DiRT and DiRT Rally.
    + DiRT Showdown as a spin off.

    For me the letter sounds like the next DiRT game won't have rally in it, so probably circuit racing in mud or something.
    Wouldn't even think of buying something like that...just saying.

    Yeah I know, but I mean a more obvious split. The series has been a bit all over the place since dirt 3. Spin off, a second spin off, a confused dirt 3 sequel, and then a sequel to the second spin off. They’re probably going to try and make it more streamlined

    No racing game does currently, except for recent Forza titles.

     

    Closest is DiRT Rally 2.0's cross-platform leaderboards.

    Rocket league? Just kidding, unlike all the game awards I know it’s not a racing game. I was bored during lockdown so I got COD for the first time in 10 years, I’ve been really enjoying played non cross platform with my friends on PlayStation, hope this becomes more popular in the future

    I expect the next DiRT instalment to be similar to that of D3/D4 so I’m really hoping Outbreak from D3 makes a reappearance. It was such good fun. Would absolutely love a car game that you could just pick up and play on a controller and have some fun with. D2 & D3 provided just that. 

    I’ve been playing wreckfest a lot, it’s the absolute ideal game for dirt 3’s party game modes! Still a really fun game to mess about online with and take people out

    I haven’t attempted the scenarios yet, but Scotland really is great. I’ve never competed that far north before, but it’s still very reminiscent of the rallies I’ve done further south in Scotland. Very fast sections, logs, and big ditches! My only complaint is late pace notes. I’ve been sent off the road a few times due to slow corners after fast sections being called very late

    Modern Warfare is, in my personal opinion, the best CoD since MW2 (though I confess I have only briefly played the last couple). 

    I started my download about an hour ago and it is yet to reach 10%, so it isn't looking good for me! 

    For some reason my Xbox doesn’t seem to be doing automatic updates any more, but it has finished now. Looking forward to doing some rallying after work!

    Whatever you do, don't buy Modern Warfare then. That looooves filling your hard drive up! 

    I haven’t owned a call of duty for a loooong time! But yeah my internet can be pretty slow, up to 50% download now, maybe tomorrow. I’m still working at the moment, and pretty busy!
