DiRT 3 Announced
  POSTED August 02, 2010
The X-Games ushered in the first trailer for Codemasters Dirt 3, a minute-long teaser that culminated in the publisher revealing a 2011 release window. Rally racing is again the name of the game in Dirt 3, where physics-based car tuning is paired with exotic environments ranging from arid desertscapes to winding snow-steeped mountainous byways. And judging by Codemasters' first trailer for the game, the studio will be staying true to those principles.
 ÂOpening shots show a rally car zipping through a dry, dusty environment at dusk, catching air off of uneven surfaces in its path. The car then transitions to cruising through a torrential downpour along a highway by a lake, with dense forest and brooding skies overhead. It's then on to the northern climates, as the same car is shown skidding through a blizzard up in the mountains, with evergreens lining the treacherous roadway.
