No Toyota and Mitsubishi in Dirt:Rally...

[Eduardo]

But budget devs from Milestone were able to get a license? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EJLjhKXnqc How is that even possible? And no, I don't want another Ford as a compensation for those cars...

It's not about what you want. It's about what they can legally add.
They can't speak about it so it could be any reason why they can't obtain the licence - Maybe someone else has it exclusively?

Blame milestone/toyota (other car manufacturers) for that.

By the way, no one can stop modding scene :)

Licensing.

Steam Workshop and modding will take care of this probably.

The question is: will the modded cars have the same balance and quality among the official cars?
To be honest I'd rather see a Lancer Evo VI instead of a GT4 if Codemasters had to choose.

Edit: man just look at that Subaru in the beginning of the video lol. So pittyful.

Probably not. Especially at sound department and phisics (obviously). But hey, it's better than milestone's crap :P

Not necessarily, there are plenty of mods for AC which hold up to the original physics, there are mods for rFactor 2 which hold up, too.

It was stated before that adding in new 3D models would not be made possible unfortunately; so only ones that already exist in Codemasters games are possible, with no new audio or physics. Hope this changes as it's a big shame if so.

If there's one thing we've learnt, it's that PC gamers are relentless and reselient. I'm sure somebody will find a way to break open the game, we did it with RBR.

I like to think so, but no-one has with any previous iterations of DiRT, Grid or F1 (all using the same engine base).

[SeriousSpy]

I don't think there's been much of a drive to. DIRT was simcade, the F1 games can pretty much be replicated in other sims, Rally is only the second proper rally sim made, there'll be a much higher drive to break it open and mod it.

By the way, what cars have we seen so far as part of the 60 to be confirmed for SLRE?

Alpine A110
Renault 5 Maxi
Ford RS200
[Citroen] DS3
Citroen C4
Citroen Xsara WRC
Citroen Saxo
Peugeot 208PP
Suzuki Escudo PP
Peugeot 405 PP
Subaru Impreza Group A
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6
Toyota Celica ST185
Lancia Stratos
Fiat 131

Think I've likely missed a few.

[SeriousSpy]

I think SLRE should be pretty good. Not as good as DR, but a nice game to play with a controller, like their WRC games before it.

[Dogtanian]

Good or not, it's pretty silly Dirt Rally can't have the iconic cars such as Xsara, Lancer VI, GT4, 206, etc because the misters from Milestone already have it, even tho their cars will be worse represented in that game than in here. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

At least the devs can put more time into making this game even better and hopefully dominating the market.
Then Toyota would look pretty damn stupid. (They do already in my eyes)
I haven't seen any evidence of the other manufacturers refusing licencing - Maybe it's coming... Who knows?

[Dogtanian]

Tbh the only Toyota I'd really like to see is Corolla, but if Toyota doesn't want then it's their problem. I really hope they will regret it to the point they will offer the license for free some time ;D
