Dirt Rally has better car models, visual style and atmosphere. WRC has better stages and handling. The dust trails as well, are incredible. Best I've ever seen. It took me a while but WRC is better overall.

There is so much to love in EA WRC such as the cars and stages, but equally there is so much to frustrate. On a next gen console its hard to understand why something like the fences and surrounding environment remain absolutely solid, when in Dirt Rally 2.0 these items broke and you could find yourself in a field trying to find the road again. The pace notes should have an alternative option where drivers can select to have 1 as the fastest note instad of 6 and vice versa for slowest, as this is a commonly used system in the sport and would just require a small patch for a remap of the audio.....its probably more complicated but I think its doable. Tyre degradation was a feature of the CMR games on PS2, yet its never been repeated as well on newer hardware. The livery editor is a great feature, but real brands and logos really need to be given licence to be used, with nearly all brands already present on various liveries already in some shape or form. The only real restriction they would have to enforce for that would be to make the Ford, Ford Racing, Ford Performance or Ford Motorsport logos only available to Ford products and the same for Opel, Peugeot, Citroen etc etc. I dont think that these are demands that are too much to ask for

If I'm recalling it right, I believe it was mentioned in the leadup to the release of CER post-launch that they had to use these Barum Rally Zlin roads because of the actual CER being totally new for the 2023 WRC season; when work started on it, it was before the route for the actual rally had been locked in, so they had to pretty much work blind and then retrofit appropriate surroundings to it when it was revealed and subsequently ran IRL. In that regard it's probably closer in its effect to the Swedish stages in-game, being as you mentioned in the guide for that location, stages used in the Värmland-based ERC event dressed up in the locations of the Umeå-based WRC event, instead of being a total fiction like Norway. Although, yeah, maybe using German signs and props on Czech roads was a bit too far, LOL

I just wish i could play some ranked style multiplayer that had a feeling of progression. it's insane they leave all of the lobby making up to the players also, sometimes ill get on and try to join a lobby but yhere is literally none available and when i try to make my own session, nobody joins and i wish i had some preset championships to choose from instead of having to mash together something myself. For thebmore hardcore fans i bet its fun making your own rallys but for casual players like myself, i want some more pre set stuff. And tuning is wayyyyyyyyyy too complex for someone who doesnt have real life experience working on car setups. It feels like if they put 10% more effort into this game it could be 90% better

It seemed to me from my few drives in CER that the co-driver calls are way too cautious and I had a few moments when I drove through a 3 or 4 as I usually would but there was so much more speed to carry through the corner as if it was a 5-6 without even cutting the track. A weird location this one

I LOVE the multiplayer in this game. It’s a bit time-consuming with the wait times. And it’s wonky to figure out the first time (a lot of people complain that it’s broken and ridiculous) But it’s such a satisfying way to play, and I think it should get a ton of hype, and should be improved and implemented into every rally game from now on (But I usually don’t hear people mention it…) I’ve had so many fun times on it. Joining lobbies of clans who are drilling practices on certain stages. So many random and fun situations where you get to go head to head with people in real time

The most intense and gritty is by far RBR for me. This is mostly due to how the roads are modeled so much better-divots, slants, cambers-it’s all there and it’s lovely I can’t stand how the roads are all smoothed out in Codies And the other advantages of camera freedom, pace notes freedom As well as the other stage pros of unique assets for each stage, *collisions on assets that make sense* - This all symbolizes for me that Codies simply doesn’t want to simulate rally for real They have the style of game they like to make, and that’s it For some reason they don’t want it to be a pure simulation, they don’t want the roads to be accurate, etc. To me that is very disappointing, so RBR is at the top for me

I see a lot of people liking this game a lot. I’m not sure why it feels weird to me-that includes DR2. I guess it feels like many things are scripted and game-y rather than feeling like results of a simulation Graphically I think they’re both great. I think people overblow it all. I totally get saying you prefer one or the other-but turning that into “this game is so bad compared to the other one” doesn’t make sense to me - Not only does the handling feel scripted sometimes But also the roads are SO disappointing This is one of the best things about RBR to me. They model the roads as well as possible-including divots, slants, all of that I have no idea why Codies doesn’t do this. It totally kills the vibe of rally for me. I can’t stand the roads being all smoothed out What the point? Simulate the real world for rally Why bother doing anything else? The more they don’t do this, RBR just remains as the best simulator (which is great actually because you get all those fantastic modeled stages for free-support the creators) Codies never went this route-most likely they never would have. But especially now that they are contracted with EA-I think they will continue to do exactly this To get a rally sim that simply wants to simulate rally-we’re gonna need a new studio to do that
@josephbornman846218 күн бұрын
And all these weird things like how bad the collisions are RBR stage creators don’t have this problem. They give good collisions to the objects in the stage. Wtf? It’s just weird to get this wrong And that they re-use assets across different stages. Really? Get the proper trees, use different obstacles and assets that match the stage and area of the world you are in. You’d think this would just be built in to the plan of making stages
@josephbornman846218 күн бұрын
Being able to write your own pace notes, and to share and download peoples’ pace notes is also vastly superior to Codies’ pace notes system And having freedom over your camera position is also far superior In Codies game you can only adjust your camera when you’re in the cockpit view-and it’s arbitrarily different for different cars-sometimes you can’t get the right height and distance This is actually a big deal-we have people using triples, single, ultrawide-different FOVs We need camera options. To me this is very key, and not having it is another wtf

For the construction of this text I will use a translator. Personally, I think that this game "EA Sport WRC" has forgotten about the fans of "Dirt Rally", the game is much more arcade or is presented in a more arcade way than its previous version "Dirt Rally 2.0"; the game at this point seems to try to attract a newer audience to rally games, this since it seems to be not as complex as DR2 (maybe I'm wrong), I really hope that this game improves, I love rally games and I share many of the points of opinion that you have given in this video, I just hope that this world of rally simulators continues to grow, perhaps a button to make the game more simulator and less arcade would be a solution.

I agree, the tarmac is very On/Off in it's grip, gravel can feel really nice when it is that more gritty rolling gravel where you can really feel the wheels dig in and just slide. It differs which is nice, not all gravel is the same, Kenya sand is a bit more grippy I would imagine and the more small stone filled gravel roll way more. But yeah a bit more slide here and there because I notice sometimes in Kenya that I have a hard time getting the car into a nice slide like it grip a bit too much, same there a bit On/Off, like the sweetspot for losing grip is just too steep and have no spectrum. Edit: I agree, one thing I loved in the old Ralli Sport Challenge games were the hill climbs, they were so much fun, not sure why they are not in other games as much.

@dodge33cymruАй бұрын
Game design for this is terrible IMO. The career mode is a mess and so much worse than DR2 - it's more complex, cluttered and yet somehow has less variety. I can't drive a single rally with loads of classes without being able to run road positions 60-90. What's the point of regularity? Moments are so much worse than the daily/weekly setup. Graphics are worse, so much less immersive. Look at the water splash in your video! So poor. Compare the rain to the Assetto Corsa CSP mod. The dirt build up to DR2. Broken down or crashed competitors you could react to!? I bought the game, couldn't log in because EA locked my account due to inactivity (tried FIFA demo years ago) and when I was finally able by creating an account with a fake email I couldn't get a refund of the stuttering mess. I love rally. I loved DR1 and DR2 - all I wanted was more content (and weather not being dependent on the difficulty mode) - I can't believe how bad the choices were that led to what we got. I'd love to get some use from it; I've played less than 5 hours, most of that trying to fix stuttering. I'd like to try the stages and cars. But I can't see it happening unless they can make a game I want to actually play. At this point, I'd rather they made DLC for DR2; it has more players, it'd probably sell better. I won't buy DLC for this game. I might consider a purchase for a game I consider playable and immersive. Don't add hillclimb or RX though please, just a waste for me.

Thing for me was that Dirt rally 1 blew my mind on controller for how much focus it took and how raw. I stopped playing it after about 20 hours because i just thought that I was missing out on the point of the game without sim rig. Then after getting Dirt Rally 2.0 on sale with all dlc i got the go ahead to buy a G920, proper H shifter and cheap rig. I got my mind blown away by DR 2.0... Learning the different drivetrains, old turbo cars, modern 4wd, the Escort mk 2 with shifter on the left... I did everything i could to boost immersion. By the time EA wrc came out I had pretty much learned everything and they simplified the handling just enough for me to kinda feel like i had already played the game before. I like wrc but it just didnt blow my mind like DR2.

@CaptainPeanutАй бұрын
You are spot on pal! As someone who exclusively races in VR, the lack of those brilliant small details seen in DR2 compared to WRC has significantly downgraded the overall experience. WRC feels so dull and "gamey", whereas DR2 feels unbelievably realistic and immersive. Pretty much the only thing WRC does better is the tarmac physics and the overall stage variety. Everything else like the overall visuals, the sound design, the dirt physics, the crowds, the random events, the particle effects, the lighting, the rain effects, the co-driver, the classic cars etc. are all vastly superior in DR2.
@CV511Ай бұрын
My biggest gripe with EAWRC is about the quality of the co-driver calls. Bunching is odd, pacing is monotonous, timing is often off, and there's almost no sense of tension. Even if they couldn't afford full recordings like in DR1/2, they surely could have done a better job. Despite using a real co-driver, it's somehow worse than DIRT3.
@thisisfrankieАй бұрын
The rallies and stages are great so is handling. Graphics is the main issue for me and some retired cars on the side of the road or unexpected moments like DR 2 would add to the immersion. Co driver voice could be improved too.
