"This looks worse and runs worse than Dirt Rally 2.0"
No it doesn't. Closed the video. Dude is a typical Youtube grifter.

I'm completely agree with that statement. My laptop can run dr2 at high flawlessly. New wrc I run at low looks like ps2 games and laggy everywhere. Maybe high end pc user not experience this

Yes, that makes sense. In your scenario, your opinion is correct.
But on high/ultra on a 40 inch OLED in HDR, this game looks truly next gen.

The beauty of steam is the 2hr return window.Reviews can be used as a good starting point to see if a game will fill your needs or wants.It really ONLY comes down to how a player perceives the game when THEY play it that really matters.I've only played for roughly an hour with the 5 hr ea trial and I want to get rid of the stutters before playing anymore.So far it seems ok,but nothing really substantial has changed other than the move to the blur engine that is.Once I gather some fixes to try I'll fire it back up.Playing with a fast NVME and 32gb's with a 3090,stutters should not happen....

Yay Mr Quick420,

Hope you been behaving in Motorsports.

Would you believe me if i said the 2hr refund window is about as long as this game takes to Compile shaders causing the stutter effect in real time while your driving then disappears afterwards

Accurate review, and I hope CM take note and improve on what he said (but they won't, in fact the next game is probably going to be even worse in almost everything, that's just how profit motive works - bait and capitalize, get away with what you can, save where you can, will especially be true with EA that will want to completely maximize profits for their shareholders (having fiduciary responsibility to do so + probably getting a good bonus the more money they manage to squish out)).

[Swansonhart]

Thanks for sharing your opinions, guys. Some of you were dismissive and some were quite reasonable. Regardless, your personal take on the game is helping me and other people decide whether this game is worth its price.

If you don't mind, please share more of your experiences in the game -- things you're enjoying and things that bother you.

Saying the stages are worse than DR2.0? No. Stage surfaces are too flat and lack detail, yes.

Before hand, yes i understand the image is way over exposed, but windows does not take HDR screenshots correctly and i wasnt going to turn off just for a screen shot, but you ovbiously havent played the game if you make that claim and certainly not Kenya, it has tons of non flat and detailed roads...i never let a youtuber decide for me if im gonna buy it,if i dont like something im just more cautious buying the next one from them.

Anyways i hit one of these several large pot hole like areas on my kenya rally run and nothing is more scary than going really fast and hitting one wrong and your car going rear end high lol

Is this game not playable without a high quality HDR monitor? Meaning that without HDR everything is overexposed in bright weather conditions.

The comments about the road surface are so inconsistent it feels like people are playing different games all together. Once I get the game, I'm sure I'll be able to determine whether there is some sort of uneven surface or not. Till then, it's hell of confusing.

I think to differentiate Kenya from other countries, they made the Kenya more rough. i also think some people think rally stages are like driving King of the Hammers. Its not. A lot of rally is done on smooth-ish or recently grated gravel roads. These are real roads afterall that are maintained, even if its just the local municipality running a grater over it.

Modern rally suspension also is good. Here is a video of KR in Estonia. For the most part, the roads are not glasss but its not like the car is bouncing all over the road from potholes and ruts either, There is camber in some corners and steep shoulders on the sides, which this game emulates somewhat.

I think some of the smaller rocks in the game, like at the side of the road, need to be more consequential if you hit them though. Maybe thats what ppl are talking about.

re-read nike23's comment.

Between his absurd claim that DR1 looks better and that you can't hold a slide, I'd say he has very little credibility.

If he had stated only on asphalt, I could have agreed, but I have no problem sliding the car around on dirt or snow.

He's one of the Youtube Sim Racers that I dont pay much attention to. He may have some valid points but I do not put much credibility to his driving impressions based on his prior reviews of other games. His sthizick is that he is fairly sensationalistic. He also talks from both sides of his mouth. The game is both "Im having a very enjoyable time" and "This game is a major disapointment". He goes "Im not a real rally driver" but then talks like he knows what a rally car should feel like based on, Im not sure what credentials. And I get, most of us are not IRL rally drivers but he comes off as he thinks he knows it all.

[Coekie]

I think the review is spot on. Only the stage part is maybe a bit nitpicky. But with the budget and resources ea has, I can also see his points. Immersion details like moving spectators and road surfaces are present in a 20 year old rally game. Yes its modded but still, it is passion and immersion that this game is maybe lacking a bit in that design. But its like he said, most newer people don't expect it anymore in modern games and are already pleased with the minimum. But people who have been around for longer, know that the little things do matter and it show the passion and the wil a developer hasl to make the best game possible.

That's quite fair. I think the pieces of the puzzle are coming together now. Appreciate it!

Yeah, I've come to expect such details as well. I guess you have to enjoy what this game offers, instead of focusing on what's missing. If the driving and FFB feels good, and if there's no stutter, I'm sure that when I buy it, I won't refund it.
