Dirt 2 Demo In September, Screen Capture Feature For PS3
See Full ImageFor those who enjoy the Rally racing experience, Dirt quickly became a huge hit and a highly sough-after title. Not surprisingly, Codemasters is hard at work on a sequel.
According to PSU, the developers have confirmed that we can expect a playable demo to hit the PlayStation Network this September, and as another little treat, PlayStation 3 owners will get the bonus of an awesome new screen capture feature! This will be added in an upcoming firmware update and we believe this is an exclusive option for the PS3 version, which is good news for Rally fans and owners of Sony's console. Of course, Gran Turismo 5 will feature its own Rally portion but we fully expect Codemasters to really push the envelope with Dirt 2. The tragic death of Colin McRae hasn't stopped them; they believe it's better to honor his name by continuing the tradition of top-quality off-road simulators, and we wholeheartedly agree. We do expect more media to come our way over the next few months, and we can pretty much guarantee that when this sequel arrives, it'll be a definite winner.
Just remember: the off-road racing genre has really blown up over the past few years, so there will be plenty of competition!

Of course they were also responsible for the TOCA touring car racing series of games in Europe as well - which rocked. With the exception of Polyphony Digital, Codemasters is right at the top when it comes to racers.
Nice to see the screen capture feature finally making it into a game.

Another funny thing I heard was that Forza 3 is only again gonna support 8 people online again like FM2. Poor Xbox live can only handle 8 with that game as it uses shared server architecture. GT5 is gonna support 16 as it does now in prologue (even tho the online sucks in prologue mainly because of it just being thrown in as a feature in the demo). I'm sure the final version will run amazing like only Sony exclusives always run.
As for Forza 3 cartoony environments and cars is once again what I saw, yet Dan Greenwalt of Turn 10 boasts that his racer is gonna be leading this generation in graphics and physics. HA. Nice try Dan, not even close...The 360 is pretty hard to push much further for any developer even tho FM3 does look better than 2, but no where near the quality and brilliance of GT5

Played the firs demo for Dirt and didn't really like it...felt too "strict" or like it wanted to be a road game mixed with rally.......which is fine but eeeeeh just didn't like it.
Too bad that Sega ain't doing Sega Rally Revolution anymore...I have the first one and it's pretty fun.
Motorstorm takes the crown! Yes it's Arcade-ish but it still has enough realism(physics) that it delivers everything a rally game fan wants.
I'll see if I can this one though.
You know what I'd kill for?...a real Rally Cross(Sony's old rally franchise...) That one was ******* fun! damn

Sure it's a neat gimmick, but how many people use it? Except for Game Journalists....

Could make for some really memorable wallpapers
And for those who like printing out their own bedroom wallpapers and such.
It's never bad to have extra goodies such as screen capture.
In fact, wish more games had stuff like this. MGS4 for example......man I'd love that!

You may be thinking of Derek Ringer who used to be Colin's Scottish co-driver.
