Apparently, Showdown will complete a circle for Codemasters towards making a more arcade type game out of the franchise which started with off road racing introduced in the original Dirt; then dropping the Colin McRae name completely. Good news for rally lovers is that they are committed to make a pure rally game, at least for the time being. More importantly, it has been allowed to keep the version number to itself.
Oh, by the way, Showdown is slated to release in May in XBOX360, PS3 & PC.
