Ken Block 'Tests' DiRT 3 - Photos Included

By Published October 14, 2010 at 10:36 am

Legendary rally racer Ken Block posted photos of his 'test' run of DiRT 3 online recently. The game is a follow-up to the well-received DiRT 2 (except for that pesky Games for Windows Live), and is expected for release 2011. DiRT 2 was known for its graphics and ability to take advantage of DirectX 10 and 11, and Codemaster's won't have it any differently for the next time around.

Ken Block said the following on facebook:

I did some very fun “testing” at Codemasters today! They are in full swing on Dirt3 development right now so they had me in to test out some of the Gymkhana playgrounds...and I have to say it was one of the best times I have ever had playing a car video game. Seriously, the Gymkhana locations are amazing and my Ford Fiesta drives & slides very realistically. I took some pics to show you what's in store for you when it drops next year. Check it out!

 

Whether or not you believe Ken Block penned the statement (as opposed to a media worker), the photos are real - and they are included below!

Steve started GamersNexus back when it was just a cool name, and now it's grown into an expansive website with an overwhelming amount of features. He recalls his first difficult decision with GN's direction: "I didn't know whether or not I wanted 'Gamers' to have a possessive apostrophe -- I mean, grammatically it should, but I didn't like it in the name. It was ugly. I also had people who were typing apostrophes into the address bar - sigh. It made sense to just leave it as 'Gamers.'"

First world problems, Steve. First world problems.
