Codemasters has came a long way from the original Colin McRae Rally series on the PlayStation 1 and 2. Seeing as how many people presumably do not know who Colin McRae even is and what he has to do with a rally racing title, the British developers and publishers were smart to rename the franchise to make DiRT the hit series that it is this generation.
To commemorate the upcoming release of the third installment to the DiRT franchise, Codemasters released a gameplay trailer along with new details about the first downloadable content to be offered to gamers in the form of pre-order incentives. The gameplay trailer gives its viewers a glimpse into just what the racer has to offer, including rally cross, a variety of weather in the environments, night-time racing, and of course to sweeten the deal, new tracks and circuits.
Dubbed the Superteams Pack, this content pack will be available at certain retailers when pre-ordering the game. With four exclusive teams and 14 vehicles available to the racers right off the bat, DiRT fans will not want to miss out on this DLC.
Are you ready to race? DiRT 3 releases onto store shelves on May 24, 2011.
That trailer for Dirt 3 was pretty sick. I may have to pick this up when it releases. On a side note I like the song they used for the trailer it was awesome

‘Seeing as how many people presumably do not know who Colin McRae even is’….
i think this should read ‘was’… the man was a legend and while i agree with the fact that dropping his name makes the brand more recognizable, i think they could still have it in there. i feel without him as the face of the brand, it wouldn’t be what it is now, and if they still used his name, it could act as token of respect to him.
