DiRT Rally

I completely agree with him on that. I'm on about 4 hours in and really enjoying it. The feeling you get actually feels like you're driving on Dirt. Some stages have light/medium/heavy gravel surfaces and you can actually "feel" the difference. Game is really well done for an early access, my only complaint right now is the lack of content. But this will come in due course.

Good to hear! I'll wait for it to exit early access abd enjoy the full experience when it's done. I love a good rally game!
 
Another good video, if anyone is still on the fence about this. I can highly recommend this game!


 
Want to add another vote of confidence for DiRT Rally to the list. Been loving the few hours I've had time to play. So glad they canned the Gymkhana nonsense and have gone back to a solid rally experience.

I'm not easily impressed (call me a cynical old bastard - others do!) but considering its on Early Access it really does look and play fantastically well. Content is still limited, but what is in is very good so far.

The sense of realism is there. I have only played using the in-car/helmet view, have ended 5 minute stages with sweating palms on my wheel and realized that the reason my jaw is sore is because I've been gritting my teeth all the way through it.

The huge sense of accomplishment from finishing the stage only somewhere in the middle of the field is actually a bit bizarre. Any game that can actually make me feel rewarded for being "average" is okay in my books :)

Here's another vid of endorsement. This is Kevin Abbring (he's the Hyundia WRC test driver) doing one of the Daily Challenge stages:

One day I'll be as good as this. One day.
 
Man so many good Racing games coming out now can't wait to have full on rally racing again for a change, also there id F1 2015 to look forward too :)

Does anybody know what the car lineup looks like and is ken block in anyway involved in this?
 
Just been playing around with the League and League Season/Event options and would be happy to have anyone interested join me to see how it works (or even if it works). Created a 6 Stage Event using Col de Turini routes and restricted entries to Mini Cooper S to try keep it as simple as possible.

If you're keen, search for the league named "Rally SA" or go here: https://www.dirtgame.com/uk/leagues/league/14396/rally-sa

c'mon bud, join the party \o/
 
Eish. But the loadshedding she is killing me now. Just got power back, but ADSL line not synching yet. Will get to it soon as I can.

LOL! That was fun.

While it lasted! You had +13.5s over me on Stage 1. I got better on Stage 2 - only +0.9s difference. Then on Stage 3 I overcooked a hairpin and sent that little Mini off the side of a cliff! Vehicle damage at 86% - terminal. Unable to continue in the event.

I like that the game is unforgiving - make a stupid mistake as I did, and you pay the price. No Instant Rewind and try again nonsense. That said, did sort of spoil the moment for me a little. Maybe set up the next one to have a few replayable stages?

At least we know now that the League system works. Will look at setting another event up with different cars for each stage to mix things up. First I have to go earn some credits to buy a couple more cars!

Thanks [MENTION=4071]BeoTeK[/MENTION] - I'm liking this more and more each time I fire it up!

I'm using an old Logitech wheel. Struggling to find the sweet spot in the settings, but getting better at it.

Can't be as bad as me with my old ballie reflexes! All you have do is finish 3 of the 6 stages and you'll have me beat.
 
Yeah I'm loving it. Been playing around with tuning as well. Think I almost have my setup down on those Monte Carlo courses.
 
Found some interesting info in their roadmap ('scuse the pun):
Another key element of Pikes Peak is the change in altitude. The difference in air pressure has a huge impact on the power the engine can produce and how much downforce is created by those big wings. Power loss with altitude is something we already simulate (you may have noticed a difference in car performance between Wales and Greece) but in Pikes Peak you actually get to feel the power drop as you climb. I’ll talk a bit more about Hillclimb next week so watch this space.”
