DiRT 4 To Focus More on Traditional Point-to-Point Rally

DiRT 4 will apparently be returning to the series' Colin McRae roots by delivering more of a focus on traditional point-to-point rally races, if a response to fans on Twitter regarding the latest game in Codemasters' racing franchise is to be believed.

DiRT's Chief Game Designer Paul Coleman assured fans that the next game will be more like the old Colin McRae Rally titles, with longer point-to-point rallies. "Yes it can and it will," Coleman responded on Twitter when asked whether DiRT 4 could be a return to point-to-point rallying.

Coleman also confirmed that Logitech steering wheel peripherals will likely be supported, while rumours persist that DiRT 4 will be launching for both last-gen and next-gen consoles. Codemasters has yet to make any official announcements regarding DiRT 4, but we'll keep our eyes peeled for something more concrete.

  • Great news
  • Just what it needs, I love the original Colin McRae rally games. That is what rally is all about, forza horizon did the rally expansion pack and that was pretty damn good. Look forward to it
  • Fantastic and that is what DiRT is about. I loved 3rd series but it is felt not Rally so I am glad DiRT 4 returns to roots. So exciting. This will be better then gimmicky WRC series!!!
  • Rallisport challenge 2 is the greatest Rally game of all time, would love to see Microsoft bring out a third. (Though the fact DICE are with EA now means it is probably never going to happen) Love the DIRT games though and am glad to hear they are going back to their roots, I prefer racing in challenging enviorments like snow and ice to doing donuts around old planes.
  • Excited about this! The three Dirt titles were awesome, the spin-off 'Showdown' was fun. I'd love it if there was a traditional Colin McRae Rally 2.0 style! Thought there was a remake in the pipeline for that, but it never happened :(
  • great news... a decent rally game without the gimmicks is long overdue.. despite the early colin mcrae games the best rally sim i ever played was richard burns rally... rallisport challenge was good but wasnt that based on rallycross and not traditional point to point stages?
  • Awesome. Only played DiRT, which was a great game. Love my rally games.
  • I hope they make a Dirt: Showdown 2. I really enjoyed that game.
  • @8 no. No. That was not a rally game. That was a show off game. Rallying is not about showing off. No. As long as it doesn't have these what are they... Jimcana? Events in the game I'm more than happy with this news. When they introduced the jimcana events I went off the series, the first 2 were fantastic 3 kind of went downhill and showdown...ugh... That's not even a dirt game to me...
  • OMG. Can't wait!!
  • Can't please everybody but am glad there goin back to tradional rally point to point although if they kept the drifting etc in ad still buy it.. would love night time n weather effects in it too
  • Focus on point to point....SOLD!
  • Can they maybe make a decent game this time? Grid 2 and Showdown were rubbish. I swear they've been going downhill since they got the F1 license. :(
