| Codemaster's Announces Colin McRae: DiRT 2 Posted by Dustin S. on November 19, 2008 Colin McRaeis known for being tough and had a will to fight through his races, and the games with his name on it are no different. Codemasters is back once again with Colin McRae: Dirt 2, the first game in the Colin McRae series since the racers tragic death. Producer Gavin Raeburn had to explain the difficulty of continuing the series in a interview with IGN and had this to say. "The decision was made jointly between Codemasters and the McRae family. His ventures into events such as the X-Games, Dakar Rally and the Race of Champions have inspired us to look at events covering the extremes of off-road motorsport. This is where we're taking the series with DiRT 2 and Colin will play a part in that. DiRT 2 will be a great tribute, and we'll be revealing more about this over the coming months." The game will be following the first title in the series directly but will focus on the “extremes” of off road racing. Dirt 2 will alsol be leading the way with the company’s EGO engine, including the improvements we saw in the game GRID. With the racer dying last year it was a hard decision to keep the game going, but the fans of the series are going to be very excited with the added features. The game has no official release date and more news will be coming soon. You can view the entire interview here:
