News New DiRT Rally 2.0 video shines light on improvements made over original

Codemasters has today released their very latest DiRT Rally 2.0 video as part of their ongoing dev insight series.

The very latest video (seen immediately below) shines the light on some of the improvements we can expect to see over the original title which first released in December 2015.

Chief Games Designer Ross Gowing explains that they’ve improved the way environments look including more detailed spectators, the car models have also seen an increase in fidelity as have the surfaces and tyres and how they interact with one another.

We can also expect improved handling which is said to have been “pulled apart, tweaked, changed and put back together again” according to Gowing.

DiRT Rally 2.0 consultant and real-world rally driver (not to mention 2018 WRC Esport champion) also features in the short video and mentions changes have been made to the grip levels which affect the cars’ slip at lower speeds.

DiRT Rally 2.0 will release on February 26, 2019, across the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition can access the full title four days earlier, February 22, 2019.

We previously caught up with Ross Gowing to find out more about the much-anticipated sequel, you can hear what he had to say in the video below.
