DiRT 2 pays tribute to Colin McRae |
Ó
For years, Colin McRae was always on the microphone to promote his
racing games, serving as both inspiration and spokesperson for
Codemasters when it came to the Colin McRae games. It has been two
years and a half since his unfortunate accident, but Codemasters still
remembers the rally icon, and the latest game carrying his name, Colin McRae: DiRT 2 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, DS and PSP), will have content paying tribute to the Scottish rally driver.For DiRT 2, you will be working towards the Colin McRae Memorial Cup. It exists only in-game, though the late rally champ may deserve a real one. “You’ll hear other drivers talking about him. He’s the central figure in the narrative," says Mark Turosz of Codemasters.
Even though the game's pretty much called just DiRT 2, it's great that Codemasters is still trying to ring the Colin McRae name in there, marketing strategies aside. It may not be coincidence that the game will be released in September, marking the third year since the helicopter crash.

never really watched rally although i like it and did not know about colin until dirt 1. and it is nice to know that codemasters are not unselfish bastards by using his name then moving on after he passes away. i thought they were going to use ke block but they stuck to colin mcrae it is a great way to show theyre appreciation considering it took time to add the tribute into the game meaning they put money aside for the person that helped them.
..his name doesn't make them unselfish, time will tell. If some of the profits are to go to Colin McRae's family then fair enough, respect to them.
i was just saying that they atleast didnt just move onto the next rally racer for theyre game
