Dirt Rally
« on: April 30, 2015, 07:46:58 AM »
Is anyone going to try this? It sounds vaguely promising, and the graphics look great. I haven't raced a rally sim since RBR. I might give it a look.

That's a good rally sim.  I haven't used one since ORA ran an historical series with the minis and escorts etc.
Off to look at this...

Oooh that looks good. I loved Dirt 2 and 3, then read Dirt Showdown was rubbish so didn't get it.

I've been reading that this one is a little more sim-like, but not perfect.

I read good things about it, seems promising, but I'll wait until it's released.  I'm very cautious about anything pre-release nowadays.

Downloaded it tonight and had a quick run in a few cars.  Bearing in mind its a work in progress, I think it pretty good already.  Graphically very impressive and certainly a challenge to drive.  The older class cars at this stage seem the best and most fun.  Definitely worth getting for $50AUD if you want a change of pace.

I'm with you on this I have had some rings in the mini and it is tough but fun.

Yeah downloaded and played a bit yesterday, it's fun but definitely a work in progress...

Hope they release H shift option for real manuals - paddles on the Mini was a bit weird

Also navigating menu's when on G27 was tough... I don't know what button 19 is to go back... Kind of silly to have that printed out to reference navigating menu in between stages...

Still overall a thumbs up for where its at and hopefully where it will end up... loved how trashed my Mini looked after my first stage...  ;D

I do recommend it to, despite of the physics flaws it's great fun.
You can always trial it on Steam ;)
