CodeMaster Dirt 3 out on May 24 2011

Nah, nothing too fascinating about watching guys playing games. But I might record the Surgeon behind the wheel so I can make some adjustments, but won't post it. If you want to watch video's go to youtube. If you want to experience it come to the track.

Certainly +1 on the Gears, and -2 on Suspension (full soft), still need more seat time.

Are you using a wheel or XBox Kinect?

 

It's pretty amazing how well they've developed the pad for these driving games. If you do go with a wheel don't go cheap, you'll regret it later.

 

For rally I use the same set up in Dirt 2. Gears all the way to the right minus 1. Downforce all the way to the left. Height at the lowest unless it's super jumpy then I'll bump it up one. Suspension I have either stiffest or one click up. Diff varies from middle to far right, and Brake setting is front heavy, all the way to the right minus 1. Works very well for my way of driving. At least, i think that what memory is telling me.

Found a good set up for gymkhana as well that works for me... found it after 2 hours trying to gain platinum in the donuts tutorial.

As for videos, the youtube uploader is only 480i and a 30 second clip.

 

Great input! Trying to picture this, is she a bit tail happy?

 

For which set up? The gymkhana is very tail happy, maybe a bit to happy. Will have to play around with it some more. I'll post up the settings when I get home if I remember.

I have a feeling if I stay home tonight I'll be playing this until the wee hours of the morning.

 

snwbdr94 - I'll try and remember to add you tonight if I'm on, apparently Jolson stood me up. ;?)

I don't know mine off hand since I never pay attention to it, but will post mine up later, much much later after I get a few weeks into it. LOL

 

I assume you guys are driving in AT transmission mode?

 

I don't think my fingers can move that quickly.

 

I won't do manual trans unless I was rocking a wheel. My fingers are already doing enough that I dont want to worry about clutchless shifting haha. On that note, I'm just finishing up season two and going on to three. Probably have the game completed by tomorrow. Seems like a whole lot shorter then D2.

 

Has anybody been able to redeem their VIP code since PSN came back online?

 

Got mine later that night. You have to redeem VIP code online then take the new code and plug it in for it to work

 

No, I already did that and got my 12 digit code, but I'm getting a message "Unavailable or already in use." I had CM valid my code is still available and they suggested to just keep trying later.

 

Dirt is still one of my most favorite games I own.

I finally bought Dirt 2 last week. Thank goodness gamestop has a 7 day return policy for used games.....



so...those of you with all 3....how does 3 compare to the first 2?

What I immediately missed most in 2, was the 2WD cars. I loved driving the S1600 FWD cars, and my favorite ride was the old RWD McRae Escort.

 

I don't have all three as I'm still new to these driving games and the Dirt series, but if you're just starting out on D2 you're in store for some RWD action. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Enjoy!
