Codemasters is planning to launch Colin McRae: DIRT simultaneously on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in June, the publisher told Eurogamer this morning.
"At the moment the guys in the studio are working towards June, more likely to be the end of June I'd imagine," said a Codemasters spokesperson.

"As far as we're concerned internally, everything's on track."
It will be the first next-gen rally outing for the publisher, who is eager to impress us with heaps of sparkly high-definition mud.
The game will have the usual boot-full of point-to-point races and plenty of off-road excursions, as well as new Rally Cross events. You'll be able to hop behind the wheels of 2WD, 4WD, Classic and RWD vehicles, drive carelessly, and make a right old mess.
DIRT's got a flashy new damage engine too, multiplayer support and European, International and Global rally championships. It's enough to get our engines purring.

I don't like racing games and particularly not rally ones, but there is just something about the Colin McRae series. I remember playing '04, trying to beat the ridiculously good times on the leaderboards (just to realise time and time again that I was infact nowhere close) and then '05 and racing against friends on Xbl. There is this beautiful, yet so difficult to race track on one of the Japan levels. It has everything, uneven/wet surfaces and various corners.
The screenshots for the new one look very, very good and if the gameplay is essentially similar I might just have to pick it up.
What about you?
