DiRT 5

Am a big fan of the DiRT games.  At this point of time, (November 2021), DiRT 5 has been out for a year.  There is a sale running on the PlayStation Store and it’s there for a good price.  The thing is I like to own most games on disc.  Took a quick look on Amazon.ca and see there were some re-sellers asking too much.  Thinking I might check out the local Walmart or Best Buy to see if they have any copies or a good price.  If not just might bit the bullet and buy it digital.

DiRT 5

It has been along time since I talked about DiRT 5.  An a big fan of this series so will be getting myself a copy.  May be not right way since there are so many awesome games coming this last part of the year.  It was original planned to be out in October but got pushed back to November 6, 2020.  This is one of the games that will be on current and next gen systems.  Have read if you have the current gen copy and upgrade your system it will work.  Adding a visual upgrade.

DiRT 5 Trailer

If you stopped by this blog over they years you might know that I am a big fan of the DiRT games.  Have some good news to share DiRT 5 is on it’s way. It is much different than DiRT 4.  Which is my favourite because it took it back to mostly rally racing.  This one however is something like DiRT 2 and 3 which a mix of the Forza Horizon.  From the trailer, which you can see > here or below, it does look like a fun racing game.  Codemasters are at the top car game makers.  The game set to be out in October (2020) on current and next gen consoles.  One of the features that has me interested is four player split screen.  Do hope the feature is on the PS4 version.  That is the version I will be buying.

Free Play Day – DiRT 4

In this weeks video for the YouTube Channel, I’d Rather Watch Paint Dry have a Free Play Day.  A few videos back talked about the DiRT games series and how much I enjoyed them. Haven’t played DiRT 4 in a very long time. So it makes it prefect for Free Play Day. Try out one stage first just to get used to the controls again. The second half, play a three stage rally. Each with a different environment and weather. This is a super fun game. Well worth the time and money.  You can see the video > here or below.  Are you into racing or rally games? If so, let me know in the comments below.

Lets Talk DiRT Game Series

In this weeks video for the YouTube Channel, I’d Rather Watch Paint Dry, talk about the DiRT game series. Have been a fan of rally racing ever since I seen it on TV as a kid. Used to watch the Canadian rally championship every weekend. When the first PlayStation as out would rent rally games all the time. Years later when the PS3 out discovered Colin McRae’s DiRT game. This became my favourite racing game. Will until the next one was out. There have been some DiRT game series spin offs. Never got into those. Still a fan of the main series. With DiRT 4 been my favourite now.  You can see the video > here or below.  Are you into racing or rally games? If so, let me know in the comments below.

Sigma – Find Me ft. Birdy

Am still playing DiRT 4 a lot.  Really enjoying this game. One thing pretty cool about is the soundtrack.  It has many awesome song on it.  Some of which I have heard before. Then there are the ones I end up really liking but know now what they are called.  Found a site that is dedicated to just soundtracks for racing games, nfssoundrack.com.   The song I am sharing doesn’t seem like it would be a good fit for a racing game.  However think the song is really good.  It is Find Me featuring Birdy by Sigma.  This song was released in 2016.  It will be on their upcoming album which doesn’t have a name or released date yet.  However you can still give the song a listen/watch > here or below.

DiRT Showdown Demo

The demo for DiRT Showdown is now out.  First off it feels like a DiRT game but different as well.  They all ways have the coolest menu systems.  You start the demo with one race and one car (Once you challenge a friend you unlock a few more).  The race is the figure eight type.  Once you finish the race they want you to send a online challenge to an online friend to unlock multiplayer.  In the multiplayer you get to pick from four cars and enter a demo derby.  It was kind of fun.  The cars handle great.  Will need some practice if I want to get any good at the online demo derby.  From what I seen you can upgrade your cars.  All so level up just like the last game.  Do believe you will level up on and off line.

Another cool think is if you sign up for Codemasters Racenet you will get $20,000 of in game money and a new livery.  Just might do this.

Now Playing: Dirt Showdown

No, I am not the one who is “now playing” DiRT Showdown.  It is not out until the end of May.  But over at GameSpot.com every now and again the have a “Now Playing” video.  Were one or more people sit down and play and upcoming game.  The newest one as you might have guessed is about DiRT Showdown (Video below or click > here).  The guy that is taking is kind of funny.  As for the game itself it a only an early build but you can see that it looks pretty sweet.  The video is about 27 minutes long.  Didn’t watch the whole thing because I want to see the game for myself then it comes out.

DiRT Showdown News

Have some DiRT Showdown news to share.  Next Tuesday (May 1, 2012) there will be a demo out out PSN, Xbox Live and Steam.  From the article,  it will “feature a solo and multiplayer event”.  So you will get to try two races (I think).  It will use their new RaceNet.  This seems to be the new tread in gaming.  What RaceNet does like many others like is an online “hub” that tracks you races, your friends races, rewards and the like.  It will be free, which is nice.  Even better news the game will be out May 25, 2012.  Can’t wait to try the demo.  I know what I will be doing next Tuesday.

New DiRT Showdown Trailer

There is a new trailer out for DiRT Showdown.   This one is called Boost for the Win Gameplay trailer.  Looking forward to trying this game out.  While it is more of arcade style this time around.  That is because it is an off shoot for the game series.  There is a DiRT 4 in the works.  I think if this game handles like the others in the series it will be very fun.  All so think an online demo derby might be fun, may be.  Will found out because I plan on buying this game.  Hope there is a demo before it comes out.  Amazon says the game will be out May 31, 2012.
