Codemasters has circulated a press release announcing that Colin McRae: DIRT (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) will be hitting the Sony PlayStation 3 video game console this September. There's also a video focusing on the game's damage elements which you can check out below.

Colin McRae: DIRT's damage system is powered by Codemasters' proprietary engine, Neon. It gives some pretty detailed vehicle and environment damage effects, and the soft body damage system replicates perfect deformation on any vehicle from any impact.

Each individual car in the game is also modelled to a fine degree of accuracy. Each car has specific weak points and strengths, ensuring that they will break, bend, warp and disintegrate realistically and in fantastic detail. Anyway, check out the vid. It also comes with commentary from DIRT producer Alex Grimbley.

Hm, just noticed that nobody commented, so I'm gonna make a useless post saying "1st!!!" and see if it feels good or not.

This damaging looks fantastic! Really haven't seen a whole lot of games try and pull off realistic damage models, but this looks amazing!

What sort of TV is that! LOL!!!! Hows he supposed to see the true effects of his damage system if his is playing it in 480i or 480p! You could at least expect them to have a HD tv.

And motorstorm is a Burnout poser, so?

This game is better than motorstorm anyways. I bought both games at almost the same time (bought motorstorm a week later), but i can say without a doubt that Dirt is way better.
