Realistic driving physics?

[legendary pair of shoes]

Are they are again on par with the original Dirt Rally or are still arcade like in the recent Codemasters games?

[Imo]

It is very different. It feels more like a hovercraft rally where you smoothly float over anything. That doesn't mean you can't have fun with it but it is not like Dirt Rally.

[Frey]

No, cause it's far better than Dirt rally 1.0 which is the past

The answers sound quiet contrary... Do you guys think it is better than Richard Burns Rally in terms of realistic driving physics?

Koly is right. If you love an easy access to a rally game with nice casual arcade feel Dirt Rally 2.0 will be your game. But if you expect a rally experience like in Dirt Rally or Richard Burns Rally you will probably be disappointed.

DR1 was bad, the cars were flying and hadn't weight, here it's far better in every way.
RBR ? outdated since long time.

Koly, stop spamming the same in any forum. We all know you love arcade style driving over mastering a game. That s okay and if you think for you that s better then it s okay. But if someone directly wants a comparison impression to RBR and DR 1 we must clearly say that they were a different task.

I honestly don't know what game imo is playing, he is spamming that same line in as ,any threads as possible, and he plays with a keyboard and mouse if that helps. lol. It is better than Dirt Rally in every way to me, but that doesn't mean there is not room for improvement. The Tarmac physics are pretty weak, but they were in DR1 as well and I think they are slightly better here. Regarding RBR, imo it is only nostalgia that keeps that game alive as any of the last 3 Dirt games were better than it, so i am the wrong person to ask as far as that goes.

DR 2.0 is a really fun game with the most sim-like physics available atm. Get it for 2 hours and refund if you don't like it.

I am not looking for a exact DR1 experience, in fact I found the tarmac physics kinda silly. I just remember that codemasters went arcade rally after that so I stopped following. My favourite Rally game is probably still Richard Burns Rally.

I just have a hard time to figure out if the driving physics of DR2 again handle with more realism in focus or still go for the more casual arcade/simcarde approach.

But from what you guys state here I do understand its more of the latter?

Why does everyone think having an easy drive is more realistic? Having an easy drive in your every day car on the way to the supermarket may be obvious, but not so in the rally sport. Except in Dirt Rally 2.0 where you have a lazy drive everywhere.

RBR is far from outdated and with mods pretty much still the single gold standard in most online rally communities but thats fine, your response basically told me that you have no clue in this regard and that I better stick with lmo´s opinion.

Dude you have made obviously false statements in many threads here. The latest stating that you cannot jump with the cars in DR 2.0 and I have went airborne literally 100's of times. I don't know what the deal is and I'm trying to be fair here, but you are making patently false claims for what reason I do not know.

If you got THAT fast that you not only jump but jump THAT high it explains why you are so slow. Must have a lot of landing crashes then. O.o

[pol.hope]

Yeah, not quite RBR in terms of physics but not so far away either, I love RBR/RSRBR... but this is actually more fun.

I didnt like it at first and actually came on here slating it... but after you spend some time with it, it just clicks, you start getting into a rythm and get some real pleasure from it. There are some big improvements over DR1.

Buy it, play for less than 2 hours... and get a STEAM refund if you dont like it. I think you will though..

On Tarmac DR2 is similar to DR1, maybe worse but either way it's not a huge departure and it has never been a strong point. On loose surfaces DR2 is more realistic than DR1 partly due to Codemasters improving the car weight/downforce/tyre grip fudging, reduced grip levels overall and largely due to improved surfaces and track edges, cars don't bounce along like pogo sticks and dirt mounds are no longer made of concrete.

In DR1 the older cars were way way too fast to be realistic, that has been addressed. Word of warning though the FFB in DR2 is currently worse than DR1.

How is RBR far from outdated? It's extremely dated, we were making fun of the tarmac physics in RBR in 2009, but it had great offroad physics for the time. But the moon physics in RBR are hardly realistic, and the quality/resolution of the actual surfaces are also primitive.

RBR fan updated is a feat, impressive how long the cult classic has lasted and held its fandom, but it sold like 5 copies and the playerbase while loyal is tiny. People who think the game is actually realistic have clearly never driven a real car in anger.

yes but in DR 2 the cars are so heavy they never jump, even when going 200 kph over bumps.

Make up your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mind. At one point the cars are floaty as a hovercraft nd in the next they are so heavy they won't jump. You got me, best trolling yet.;)
