Dirt 3 to have zombie mode. Also features realistic tyre modelling

Codemasters have been talking about their upcoming rally racer. They’ve already revealed the stunt-tastic Gymkhana mode, but the latest reveal is the oddest yet. Dirt 3 will feature a zombie mode in which players must race to avoid being caught by an infected driver.

Codemasters have been telling Kotaku about their latest feature. The undead mode will be an alternative to the more traditional head-to-head and eight player multiplayer. One player will be an infected driver, and will have to try and infect other players on the track. Once infected the windshield will become green and slimed-up to represent the infection. The designers wanted to put hordes of zombies on the track for players to drive through, but the vehicle manufacturers didn’t want their products being driven over humanoid figures.

Outside of the zombie mode, the rest of the game is set to be even more realistic than its predecessors. A new tyre modelling system ensures that handling changes when the player drives onto different surfaces, and will even change depending on the amount of air the player decides to put in them. The game will feature 50 cars, and will a 60% focus on rally driving. Dirt 3 is due out on May 24.

Zombies in a racing game?

Just cause you can, doesn't mean you should.
 
Hope they dont mention poor Colin McRae in the game, it will be the biggest insult to the legend. Also, i dont know how they call Dirt a rally racer. There is no real rallying, gone are the WRC days..
 
^What about Zombie Colin McRae?? Back from the grave??!! (Just joking.)

Anyway, I dont see why they are hell bent on taking the Dirt series away from the most fun part of the game i.e. Rally racing. I just started playing Dirt 2 again and really the rally stages are the best. They just need to double the number of tracks and maybe give some longer tracks and I could keep playing that forever. :P
 
Carmageddon (2?) had a similar mode. So did Midtown Madness 2. Good fun. Shouldn't be seen as a deal breaker. Just a bonus when you're not in the mood for rallying.
