:O :O The tyre squeel sound is so horrible! It sounds more like a mosquito having it's balls squeezed...

And the 'dancing' air-inflated tubes are LOL! :D:D:D:D

Also, the way in which the car lands of the jump doesn't bode well for the physics and car set-up.

Seeing how great the Germany update turned out I'm 100000% confident Codies will do RX justice :)

Again I ask why they even bother.

There's no way that game is going to sell well. One can tell after 30 seconds of watching.

[RallyDriven 398]

The only advantage they have is console sales. But I think I'd rather play nothing than have that

[Rallycameraman 241]

Wow that flame thrower in the car. Is that an upgrade?

How can Milestone STILL keep F'ing up so bad after so many years and attempts?  Physics look PATHETIC, graphics are ugly, and sounds are terrible.  And dat flamethrower backfire y0, so bad...

[SkiddyMcCrash 311]

It's like a jet afterburner

[MastaVonBlasta 2]

Even if I wasn't a DiRT fan boy (let's face it - I am...) I'd be really chuckling at that SLRE video...

It's not just one thing... The sound, car handling, dancing baloons, FIRE!, the beep at the start of the race...

I've not bought any of the WRC1-4 games... Even now they're priced at £24.99 on Steam! :O :O (although it was on sale recently, but no one cared...)

I'm a big fan of Seb Loeb - he's a total ledge, 9x Bantermeister and would go for cheeky Nando's with him anytime...

Why, oh why is he attaching his name to this...

[SkiddyMcCrash 311]

I thought that when I saw the first video. He shouyld have spoke to Codies, it would have done both sides some good.

Ah, so the track in that early video was the X-Games LA track. That doesn't look too impressive does it? That's not a rallycross DS3 either.

No, mad max

[Darhour 3]

That jump over the bump is quite epic!

[MastaVonBlasta 2]

So @KickUp and @justbiglee are on a romatic getaway to Swedish forests. What's in the box?

I'm hoping it's a beasty PC with current build of the RX update loaded in... Just cause I'd like to try it over the weekend :)

My plan is to sleep in the hire car, so now I know where you I'm going to park it :)

Didn't they use that in DiRT showdown ;)

"Gildan Activewear Inc. is a manufacturer and marketer of branded clothing, including undecorated blank activewear such as t-shirts, sport shirts and fleeces, which are subsequently decorated by screen printing companies with designs and logos." from Google...

[SkiddyMcCrash 311]

What's that got to do with anything @VirtuaIceMan ?

I think it's to do with the box Lee pictured on Twitter. I'm sure he's taking some DiRT Rally swag with him to Sweden, but I don't think he'd be that protective of t-shirts :)

There must be something more important in that box... Perhaps the trophy.

[SkiddyMcCrash 311]

Ah right, good job I didn't go into Forum Nazi mode and delete the post them lool

[Azoresst 6]

My guess is: The trophy that we saw with DiRT Rally logo is inside that box :smile:

[gfRally 448]

The truth could not be more obvious

1 trophy probably not for FIA employee, more likely for a driver (which they will use their likeness in game?). My guess is Liam Duran Or Soleberg

interesting thoughts on possible cars:

VW Beetle RX 
Audi S1 RX
Ford Fiesta (a given)
Citroen DS3
VW Polo

Does a FIA license blanket cover the cars too?  Or just Tracks?  

If licenses are separate, could these spill over to Stage Rally?

One more thought:  could the later RX expansion cover the rest of the WRX series?  I would guess that circuit tracks are a little easier to model than stage rally's  long scenery.

[VirtuaIceMan 92]

LOL yeah I was just thinking it's maybe some branded DiRT wear to give away at the event, perhaps. Little bit of DiRTy promo?

But yeah, it could be a PC build of the game, or that trophy, or something else.

Ha, that's real subtle! 

Hope everyone going to Holjes has a miserable weekend and doesn't enjoy themselves at all. I'm not jealous at all...

Haha - it's shaping up to be a great weekend, but I'll do my best not to enjoy it :tongue:

I've just seen the programme for the weekend and it seems there'll plenty going on on Friday, and I'm arriving on Saturday morning (after landing in Oslo at midnight...).

If Codies will be showing off the RX stuff to the drivers or WorldRX folks then they'd probably do it before they get ultra busy on Saturday and Sunday. So... I may miss that bit... But I won't miss the main heats :)

They've clearly dropped the last remaining drops of subtlety and it's 99% sure we'll see some sort of news on DiRT Rally - World RX tie-up :D
