I own a racing game or two, in fact I own many more... many, many more.
But one thing I've been on quest for is a great pick up and play rally game. I want something that compliments my 9pm, I'm tired beyond belief with a trick back and a few stubbies of beer driving style.
And I'm not sure there is such a thing. Certainly there's arcade madness, gravel is up there with that. Then there's the cerebral racing of Dakar. Up there too is Dirt Rally, soon to be Dirt Rally 2 - "return of the burn" I think. I also have Seb Loeb's rally game on PS4 - it's a very underrated game actually.
But what I miss is Dirt 3. Not Dirt 4 with it's scalextric plug together stages, no I want to be a relative hoon, have a dab of pop-art in there and to look at replays and go, yeah, that didn't win the stage but it was fun!
Like this little clip does, this is the game I want...

Let me know if there's such a thing on the PS4!
[Edit]: I had a masterstroke, which is not the Stroke el la Grande, no, it's a good idea! And the idea was to pop into the local cash converters and buy a PS3. So I did. And for the price of a new racing game I've got my back catalogue, including Dirt3. Marvellous. One could say it was a deal too good to put down - and it really was; "Dear cash converters, please at least wipe the 'fluid' residue off the PS3 before reselling it". Luckily for me, I have in declining order of importance:

Luckily for me, I have in declining order of importance:
- A strong stomach
- Industrial hand cleaner
- Some WD40 and a cloth
For shifting the grim it's great stuff. Spray on cloth, and wipe. And wipe... eventually I got back to a PS3 base system and I was away.
And, I'm happy, I've scratched my itch, it's a great game after all, and what's more, I've got F1 2013, which is arguably the best F1 game for me as it has many tracks and historic racing F1 cars too. The bonus is grid too, which I really did enjoy immensely, though it does feel a bit dated now.
Happy days!
