DiRT 3 Teaser Released

CodeMasters released a teaser for the third installment in the DiRT series today, appropriately titled “DiRT 3”. A slickly-designed video using transitions to showcase some of the different environments that will be available in the next game is all we get for now, but I’m already liking what I see.

As expected, particle effects are improved over previous iterations (rain and snow in particular are looking better than ever), as well as vehicle and environment rendering, which are beginning to cross into the uncanny valley as far as realism goes.

No specific release date has been announced as of yet, just a nebulous “2011” at the end of the trailer. A simultaneous cross-platform (PC, PS3, 360) release is hoped for by this PC gamer in particular.
