If you’ve already seen Ken Block’s Battersea Gymkhana video that was shown a couple of weeks back, on the run up to the release of DiRT 3 then you might wonder why you’d want to see it again. Well, there’s one REALLY good reason why.
Tilt-Shift.
Following the 500k+ view success of Ken Block’s DiRT 3 Battersea Gymkhana video, Codemasters has today released stunning new footage of his spectacular run at Battersea Power Station, as filmed through tilt-shift cameras.
Tilt-shift technology creates the illusion of a miniaturised world in the video as Ken Block performs a masterclass in car control around the iconic London landmark – which was turned into the DC Compound, a level from the critically acclaimed DiRT 3 – for Codemasters’ recent Gymkhana Uncovered event.
By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
