![]() Is it worth the upgrade from 9 or 10? Well i guess that depends. It's not pefect but if you're coming from any other WRC game then the issues are things you already know. So on the whole, i'd say this the best WRC game to date. Still much tweaking to be done on my part though. SAT and compression forces are really nicely done but can't get enough surface detail so it all feels a tad floaty when not going over bumps. I'm stuggling to get the FF dialed in this time round. Simpy having an option to increase engine volume in isolation would help a bit. Engine sound is probably the worst it's ever been. It's not all roses though, the menus still suck balls on the PC especially during controller setup. Generall presentation and polish has gone up a notch. Haven't looked at the career yet so no idea on that. I had no problem setting up mutiple controllers and the frame pacing issues seem much better this time round (at least for me). I spent four hours just trying to perfect the 1.4km Welsh shakedown stage lol. Hooking everything together gives a exceptional sence of flow when combined with the amazing stage design is utterly addictive. You now have to be much more considered about how you place the car as all your moves have consequence for linking corners and going over jumps. I wasn't sure about this initially as the cars feel less 'sharp' but after a few runs I was hooked. The cars now have much more weight and inertia and consequently slide a bit more than before. The first thing i noticed was the handling is slightly different. They don't understate dangerous curves and I've found a timing scheme that works just great.Ĭlick to expand.I picked up WRCG yesterday too. Never, so far, have I blamed the co-driver for any of my crashes so far. I got the feeling at times in DR1 and Dirt 4 that the co-driver was trying to kill us. One more good thing: pace notes and co-driver are among the best I've experienced. We'll see if it gets old while going through the career mode. But my butt clinches every time I'm about to hit one of those rocks b/c you expect a huge audible "DONK" and judder through the wheel, but then you get nothing. You get some gravel feel and pebble sound. My only complaint with WRC9 is lacking any audio or FFB when running over large rocks on stage. I remember DR2 being better, but that fact doesn't detract from my enjoyment. Really immersive and with good changing weather effects. But, now when I go back to WRC9, and not immediately after DR2 like when I tested both, the graphics look great. ![]() Hoping to pick up Generations sometime next week. It's become my goto rally game over the last couple of years. Long challenging and varied to keep you interested all the way through. ![]() FF is aceptable, sound is a bit meh but the stages are just exceptional. I prefer the cleaner look graphics, the handling is decent enough and much better on tarmac than the DR games. WRC9 is my goto (I tried 10 but wasn't keen on some of the handling changes and it had many more of those performance niggles the games are renowned for). On the other hand i've become quite a fan of the later WRC games. The stages are quite laboroius and fairly unremarkable, the handling wasn't as raw and i just felt the experience quite underwhelming compared to the original. DR2 had the content in bucketloads and a lot of nice new features but despite many efforts I just didn't click with it. I loved DR1, in fact it's still installed and i play it regularly - I just wish it had more content. But I just couldn't see myself playing DR2 without ending every session frustrated.Ĭlick to expand.Nice to hear some someone with the same experiece as me. If I play it for 10 hours, it won't have been time wasted. WRC9 has worse graphics - though still pretty good, wider tracks, a better career system, nice challenges. I can't imagine doing these stages over and over again. I was in slow cars to start, but how frustrating to be in rally monsters and averaging 40 MPH. Long story short, DR2 is gone from my hard drive. The fact that we have to download 4 seasons of DLC that we may never buy is totally egregious. So much practicing for events and so much repetition that I couldn't stand another stage and even quit the series early.įirst, WTF is up with the DR2 download size?!!? 110 GB vs. ![]() Sidebar - I got completely burned out on DR1 doing the RD rally league. I figured I'd do a side-by-side with DR2 since I had a steam key lying around from a humble bundle or something. ![]() With Amazon giving out WRC 9 for free, I couldn't help but try it out, though I haven't played much serious rally racing since investing a LOT of time in Dirt Rally 1.0. ![]()
