6:10 while the co-driver reads his pace note, his voice is altered by the movement and vibration of the car, just like what one would find in the wrc onboard vids. That kind of detail gathers up for a great game.

This is true I've noticed it on dangerous turns or when you start driving fast, his voice tone changes.

Phil mills (the co-driver) recorded the pace note on a motion sim seat. Thats why his voice is much more realistic than the previous title.

[@kilroy987]

I've played through all 6 locations, and, despite the graphics looking better, the tracks themselves are much more boring. Dirt Rally was a theme park in comparison - the tracks there are very iconic. Nothing really distinguishes the tracks in Dirt Rally 2.0.

dirt 2 looks better than both TBH, dirt 2 had realistic water drops all over the Wshield and the body of the car and moved with the wind higher textures,

[@michalvalta5231]

Since when is 2D "more alive" than 3D? :D

If I understand correctly, the tracks are now dynamic. Meaning, it will change depending on how much cars have passed on it. This would explain why the track details looks worst on 2.0 than in the first one.

[@genista9910]

I like how it distorts because of the style of driving though.

[@w0bbl3r]

They lowered the texture quality of the roads, especially dirt and mud roads, because of the new track degradation system. If you are low in the rankings, you will be running low in the starting order and so more cars will have gone down the track ahead of you. This will leave the road degraded and even leave ruts full of mud and water that affect your handling where the previous cars have left tire tracks. I would take the slightly lower texture quality to have that kind of dynamic track.

[@AdamIsailovic]

That is lazy excuse. But ok...

[@IroAppe]

Yeah, I don't understand the technical connection between low-res textures and the track-degration feature, could you please explain?

[@Bazzookie]

It's most likely due to the fact of the better lighting, shadows, reflections, and particle effects. They sacrificed some detail in places where you'll never notice to keep the performance higher since you're driving at 50+ mph focusing purely on the track in front of you. People are seriously complaining about textures when during actual game-play you can't tell or notice the difference. smh

165 hours in dirt rally 1, loved every moment of it and in the first 26 or so hours of dirt rally 2, I've loved each hour twice as much as in dirt rally 1

[@cern1999sb]

I think Dirt rally 2.0 looks like they've added a lot to make it look more beautiful, but the result in my opinion is that it has become slightly less realistic, and feels more like a movie than real life, where all of the effects (especially lighting and shadows) are exaggerated. Both games look great in their own right. I think Dirt Rally 1 has a more neutral look which is trying to be as realistic as it could, and Dirt Rally 2.0 has more of a cinematic feel.

[@trombulan]

Good point!

[@HankBaxter]

The lighting really makes them look worlds apart in my eyes, even if the models and textures aren't better.

In the beginning of the sound comparison you can clearly hear dirt rally 2.0s car exhaust sounds reflecting off the barrier to the left of the car and bouncing back creating a nice depth effect. You can hear how close or far you are from objects or barriers just by the exhaust sound bouncing off objects. I liked that a lot

[@frenak12]

Honestly can't say that 2.0 is much of an improvement over the first one graphically

[@pharmaboy360]

No but it is a big improvement over the handling (not perfect yet but slowly getting there). I think most people end up getting it for that. Who cares about graphics when everything is a blur in the cockpit anyways. Sure if you have the view from outside I'm sure it makes a difference, but from inside you don't have time to see much. The biggest improvement in 2.0 is that you have to control your throttle in the turns (especially in the wet), you can't you blame the accelerator or you will slide in the ditch. That is absolutely a game changer. I actually use Dirt rally to practice for real rally. The first one wasn't too realistic with its driving physics, although it did absolutely help me a lot to maintain control of my real rally car last month at my last rally on a couple occasions and actually on a close call on an icy highway a few months ago. It is really good at getting you to practice counter steering perfectly to maintain control.

Thank you for the video Nick. This may be a bit much to ask, but is it possible to do a short video showing DR 2.0 on the PC, with the 'field of view (FOV)' set to its lowest level? I ask because as an Xbox player, DR2.0 has omitted the FOV slider which you get on the PC. The problem with 2.0 is that the FOV looks to be set at a higher level than the first game. Which means everything out the windshield looks smaller, and it has lost the 'you are there' feeling from the first one. And I have no idea how it might look if they included the FOV slider and it is lowered significantly.
