DiRT 3's achievements and trophies reveal four DLC packs
QUOTE
Codemasters has four DLC packs for DiRT 3 which releases tomorrow. The PS3 Trophy list has revealed the names of the inbound DLC for the rally racer.
Each pack features four trophies to unlock. There's the 'Mud and Guts' and 'Power and Glory' car packs, and the 'Monte Carlo' and 'X Games' track packs.
The PS3 Trophy list blew the whistle on the DiRt 3 add-ons which a certain trophy-loving website happily spills for us. Retailers are all excited about DiRT 3 and are offering deals on the racer if you trade in the likes of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean or Brink.
DiRT 3 releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC tomorrow, May 24th.
Codemasters probably had no idea the accidental synergy it was creating, dropping the Monte Carlo DLC for Dirt 3 the same week that the soon-to-be hit romantic comedy of the same name was arriving in theaters, but here we are. Unfortunately, Selena Gomez isn't a new rallycross driver in the upcoming pack, and as far as we know, there isn't any rallycross in the film. What a waste!
Regardless, the $10 pack is now available on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 via their respective digital storefronts, and on PC via the Games for Windows Marketplace. It comprises eight new tracks set in the miniscule Mediterranean monarchy of Monaco (specifically Monte Carlo, of course).
As a tie in to the X Games, the X Games Asia Track Pack has been released as downloadable content for DiRT 3. The DLC is 400 Microsoft Points ($4.99 USD) and available from Games for Windows Marketplace, Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network.
The X Games Asia Track Pack extends DiRT 3’s Rallycross content with two multi-surface, mud-spattered circuits set in stunning Shibuya, the neon heart of Tokyo. The X Games event is playable in single player, split-screen and online multiplayer. Gamers can take on the multi-track, multi-jump and multi-surface X Games event set around the LA Coliseum and test themselves on the snow and ice of Aspen, Colorado in DiRT 3’s Winter X Games event. Codemasters is also adjusting some of the game’s online playlists to accommodate the new DLC.
Codemasters has also released a trailer celebrating the DLC's release. Check it out in the video below.
In a possible exercise of total futility, around 3 million digital codes for DiRT 3 were stolen and from an AMD server which were reserved as part of a promotion.
The codes were given away which let people enjoy DiRT 3 through Steam, although given the nature of how this all works the codes are likely easy to trace.
Ultimately this 'free ride' of Codemasters' DiRT 3 could lead to quite a few Steam bans as Valve and AMD hunt down those connected to the theft. It could get complicated however if people start claiming they were duped into buying a 'legitimate' digital copy.
At the least Steam should be able to easily disable the copies.
As you may have heard (or even seen advertised at the top of this very website), AMD has been running a promotion to give out free copies of Codemasters' racing game DiRT 3 with the purchase of a DirectX 11-capable product. The problem is, the third-party company hired to handle the distribution of these games in the form of codes redeemable on Steam stored them all in an unsecured SQL database easily accessible on their website, www.amd4u.com.
As you might imagine, it was only a matter of time before some sneaky individual came along and figured this out, pilfering the list of keys and leaking them everywhere they possibly could. Needless to say, if you've seen anyone online giving out free Steam copies of DiRT 3 lately, there's a 99% chance they were part of the illegally-obtained lot. In all likelihood, Valve will be invalidating all of these keys and possibly suspending the associated Steam accounts as per their terms of service. Those that legitimately obtained a voucher from AMD will no doubt be taken care of, however inconvenient of a process it may be.
old thread but how did you guys get to play the game all? is it all from the AMD promo or from retail. Cause I can't buy it from steam at all due to it's been "region blocked" by the games for windows system
