Codemasters is getting down and dirty with some hot new footage of ... ugh. Okay, look, I'm not going to do that to you. There's a new trailer for Colin McRae's DiRT 2, alright? The game looks very good. Let's knock this off. The press release after the jump has enough bad puns in it for the both of us.
The new video showcases game footage intermingling with clips of real rally, and while it isn't exactly impossible to differentiate the two, the game certainly does look nice. If the sense of speed we're seeing from outside the cars makes its way to the inside as well, we've got an exhilharating rally title on the way. I'm hoping the trailer's music isn't too indicative of what we'll be driving along to, but the car porn definitely has my attention.
PRESS RELEASE
NEW COLIN McRAE: DiRT 2 VIDEO LAUNCHES - AND IT'S RALLY, RALLY GOOD!

Monday 17th August/... Stunning Rally gameplay and amazing real world racing footage come together as Codemasters® today launched the Colin McRae™: DiRT™2 ‘Rally Rally Good’ video, now available to view at www.dirt2game.com.
Focussing on some of the core Rally events in Colin McRae: DiRT 2, the new video captures the unique exhilaration of rally driving and includes officially licensed vehicles, such as the Mitsubishi EVO X, the Subaru Impreza STI and the Colin McRae R4, tackling dramatic stages across three continents. Real world footage also captures a new generation of off-road stars, including Ken Block, Dave Mirra and Travis Pastrana, pushing their cars to the limit.
Driven by the latest generation of the award-winning EGO™ Engine and set to deliver a peerless rally experience, Colin McRae: DiRT 2 features a revamped handling system that incorporates full weight transfer on vehicles, enabling players to perform advance rally techniques like the Scandinavian Flick. Pace notes, written by Citroen C2R2 Champion Co-Driver 2009 George Gwynn, guide players through each challenging stage, with gamers able to choose from either an American or British Co-Driver and a choice of two call systems. Staggered starts, thousands of spectators and authentic changes in terrain make for spectacular stages and prove out why rally is the pinnacle of off-road autosport.
Colin McRae: DiRT 2’s World Tour career mode lets players choose their own path through the game, whether they decide to focus on their favourite discipline or sample the full range of exciting off-road racing on offer. Set to take racing games to a new level, gamers take on over 100 stunning events, including aggressive, multi-vehicle races and intense solo challenges set in the most diverse and demanding real-world environments.

Trailer looks pretty damn good, and at times I actually couldn't tell whether the footage was real or the game.
But that music, okay, I have that album. But keep it the fuck out of DiRT2. It doesn't fit.
Auuugggh what the hell...TURN IT OFF, TURN IT OFF. This just made me feel like I was watching those Fuel trailers all over again. I know Dirt is a better franchise that that abortion, so what gives?!?
well it looks awesome i just wish we had new consoles to look forward to epically if they incorporated somoe of the dx10/11 tech that allows instancing of events also volumetric clouds it would take it to the next level
Did DiRT have music during the races? I know GRID didn't except at the very end of each 24 Heures du Mans, and the replay and menu music from both ranged from inoffensive to toe-tapping.
Also, GRID used UNKLE for the opening if I recall correctly, which is much better than whatever this is. :\
