To Codemasters’ credit, though, Dirt 3 was released in 2011. A jack-of-all-trades and master of none tends not to be an approach to design that results in a beloved game. So many games attempt to appeal to just about everyone in an attempt to gain commercial success, and yet so many end up appealing to no one as a result of not focusing on a specific audience. Of course, this reaching out to both the casual and the hardcore is often met with suspicion and distrust. Through this recipe, Codemasters are hoping that they’re going to end up with a game that is both instantly engaging for the casual fan and deep enough for the grizzled veteran. The idea with Dirt 4 is to blend some of these dedicated rally moments into a wider framework, coupling it with other ideas and events that are on the more accessible end of the spectrum. Relying solely on a co-driver for verbal instructions regarding upcoming corners also proved too much for many.
