New Stages

[_Gustavo]

Any planned updates for new stages ? I would love to see Japan for example

Forget it

Two new rally locations would feel right, but don't think we're going to see that... if DLC sales justified the work, then we could see them, but probably best not to hold your breath.

Only confirmed ones are Yas Marina Circuit in october which I guess is RallyX and Jamsa Finland in November

Finland is really good, too bad they're only porting the ones from Rally 1 instead of doing new stages, especially now that WRC8 is on Epic

Yes new stages would be good. However CM appear to have decided to add new stages only to the base game and just port the old stages fro DR 1 for DLC content. I suspect this will hold true until February or later next year when DR 3 will be released.

I personally hate the current business model of yearly releases. Before 2013, PC hardware advancements, meant there was a case to release a new game, with more demanding graphics each year. Since 2012 More's Law has not held true, so there is no longer a case for an entirely new release, every year. I wish the developers would see this and adjust accordingly. Rockstar Games have the right idea and are still updating GTA V in 2019, a game which released in 2013. This title is one of the most successful ever released! I hope in future that other developers will see the error of their ways and follow Rockstar's lead.

Realistically it may be Codemasters' only way to make it worth their time to actually produce this game. Dirt 2.0 appeals to a very small percentage of gamers, even arcade racers don't seem to like it. Additional content for this game requires meticulous planning and testing as the cars and tracks and surface types are expected to be absolutely accurate or Sim fan's wont be happy. All of this work costs a significant amount of money and effort for a very small profit in the end. GTA V however, is deemed "the most profitable entertainment product ever". They're not the most profitable because they continue to update, they continue to update because it's a cash cow. If you feel otherwise just consider why they don't continue to update they're past versions of GTA. You can argue that Codemasters' are greedy but in reality they're doing more work for much less profit, whereas GTA updates don't require the level of realism and accuracy that a Sim racer does because GTA is based out of fiction.

After this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥(reviews/negative threads) I wouldn't expect Codemasters to ever make another rally Sim. I mean why would they? They produce the most accurate and realistic rally sim known to man and people do nothing but ♥♥♥♥ on it for very petty reasons.

I really like this game despite its issues, I just don't want CD to dump this game to make DR 3. There is no need for DR 3 they just need to improve what we have now. The development process would be funded by DLC. Making the base game better still, will bring in further game sales, which helps to keep the game alive. My previous post also explains why there is no need for DR 3.

To sell more copies of this game CM should do as follows.

1. Create new tracks never seem before in the Dirt series of games.

2. Update the existing game to sort out it's bugs, optimise the graphics to run with more stable FPS and improve the FFB. This alone will help to sell more copies of this existing title.

some new cars would be fine as well. then you have the Super Mega Deluxe Edition 3.0 DLC. yeah!

Dont orget it, Japan can be at Mega Deluxe pack with seasons 5 and 6 that we all will have to pay extra to play.

If you add legends rally 60 Сarpack and Japan with new seasons, the purse is already prepared ))

[fear factor]

I would also love to see completely new stages but I guess we can forget it. CM has already hands on next Grid..... so no one probably work anymore on DR2.0

[Hank from breaking bad]

They most likely have teams or programmers allotted to each game, one game's development shouldn't hinder the other games, at least not with a studio as big as Codemasters.

[Moljnar]

The actual game play is more than decent but the lack of tracks and cars in the base game is disappointing.

[Ashenfell]

What they really should do is fixing that damn racenet servers.
