Codemasters believes the new controller, launching along with the PlayStation 5, will provide something new via its adaptive triggers.

„So when we get knowledge, hardware, and details, about next-gen, there’s always a lot of excitement in the studio. This leads to a lot of creative juices flowing, a lot of discussion as to how we can best take advantage of different features. What we’ve done is to make a game that’s quality on the current generation of consoles. Then we look at where we can take advantage of the next generation of consoles. The power allows for the 120 framerate option [on Xbox Series X]. We want to take advantage of fast loading.

On the PlayStation 5, for example, you have the adaptive triggers that could have some really interesting implementations – particularly for racing. There’s a lot of excitement and buzz about it. You will get different feedback based on different surfaces, we have a lot of different surface types. The haptic feedback allows us to do something new and different, help to increase the immersion and feeling,” Robert Karp, the development director of Codemasters, told WCCFTech.

Karp explained that Codemasters must have good relationships with Sony and Microsoft: „We need to work closely with first-party platform holders and have a good relationship with them. We don’t want to talk about anything until they’re ready to talk about things. As the campaign goes on, both for the PlayStation 5 and DiRT 5, you’ll hear more updates from both of us on those things.”

What about ray tracing? „Everybody’s excited about ray tracing. Visually, it’s a real impactful thing but we haven’t got anything to say about ray tracing at this time,” Karp responded. Another question dodged right then and there.

DIRT 5 launches on October 9 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X ports launch later, likely as launch titles for each respective console. The Google Stadia port drops in 2021.
