DiRT Rally Codemasters tease a new DiRT game

[Alex Franchini]

A Tweet by the British studio has revealed the existence of a new title in the popular rally series.

It seems Codemasters have already started work on a DiRT sequel.

The tweet is a job posting, and according to it the studio is looking for a graphics programmer "for a DiRTy little game we've been working on".

The wording makes it seem like development has been going on for some time, but that's obviously just speculation.

The game will likely be next-gen, since the studio is working on their first next-gen outing (complete with a shiny new graphics engine), F1 2015.

What do you think? Are you excited for the return of the popular series, hopefully with a purer focus on time-trial rally? Let us know in the comments!

Surely you must be able to get RBR posted to you??

It is still by far the best and we are just starting another brilliant season here at Race Department (using the Rally sim 2015 mod, of course).
We would love you all to join us for this season.

I'd never claim the DiRT series to be accurate but they've always been fun to play. DiRT 3 was starting to borderline on not being fun though. Gymkhana and donuts are not rally racing for me.

Where is the non optimistic button when we need it?

The Dirt series is Codemaster's best with only Dirt Showdown being a botched title.
No this isn't RBR never will be just get over it and have some fun.

Or maybe I can just have my own opinion, have fun with wich I think is funny and be optimistic about staff a want to.
And I am not optimistic about this game. And I did not mention RBR.

Dirt3 was pretty fun to drive. It was easy to make it to the end of the stage without crashing (unlike RBR) hard to beat the AI time and time again.

But please, kill those brainless announcers, kill the youtube integration, and simplify the menus. I get motion sickness from the menus and loading screens!!

I want a rally career simulator, and oddly, WRC 1 had one I really liked. You really felt like you earned your way into 4wd machinery, then the guest spots in a WRC car made it feel like progress to the ultimate goal.

so much talking about graphics but nothing really about the physics and car handling could be wrong assumption but i think it's gonna be lacking in that department fingers crossed i'm wrong

I have much more faith in Codemaster's then I do in Milestone. However both could use a Milestone of improvements when it comes to Mastering Code!

now i'm very very excited, i hope it's not only talk though definitely need to get me a copy of this and test it out. thx for the video

New graphics engine isn't most important. The question is what I can do in this game?

Recreating the most famous RallyX tracks, and then showing a picture of a tarmac-track (which doesn't ring any bells for RX when it comes to layout either)
