Next-Gen Colin McRae Lights Up With Neon News

Codies confirms the use of a new proprietary engine in the development of Colin McRae: DIRT...
Following a hiatus in 2006, Colin McRae is set to make his next-generation debut in 2007 with DIRT; as the countdown to race day continues, Codemasters has today unveiled further details about the new chapter of rallying.
First up comes news that DIRT is being developed from the ground up, and being built with Codies' proprietary Neon engine. Currently in development for the last eighteen months, DIRT will be featuring a high-level of destructible objects from crumpling metal, shattering glass, and splintering trees. Air physics is also being implemented into the game, so that everything can be affect by the wind, as well as introducing slip-streaming effects.
Forty different rally cars will make an appearance in DIRT, across a dozen classes from 4WD, 2WD and Rear-Wheel drive, including McRae's R4 prototype and the almost iconic Suberu Impreza.
Speaking about the new engine, Gavin Cheshire, Vice President of Codemasters Studios said, "Neon delivers an engine that provides us with so much more scope and possibilities than an update of existing tech would have ever allowed. The most obvious result is in the visual detail and physics that produce incredible particle effects. Neon makes it possible to go into seemingly minute detail but will create the most realistic and involving environments in the racing genre."
Currently in development for Xbox 360, PlayStation3, and PC, we'll have more on Colin McRae: DIRT in the future...
