RBR is a master piece which unfortunately still remains at the top 20 years later...

[@imagineracer]

Without any doubt.

[@felipetartasics]

Dirt Rally it is a racing game, i.e, DR have game design, a carrer, a path to progress, some dinamics that invite people to play and stay playing the game. For me it is one of the best racing games ever created. I see no problem if it is not the most realistic, because for me it is the best game overall.

[@dezolatestation]

the both are great tbh, rbr is for hardcore sim, but it doesn't mean dr2 is fully arcade, beginner friendly rally sim and also those both are great in wheels

[@P_D-px6iv]

For Dirt Rally 2.0 I'd say it just depends on how you setup the assists Full Assists = Arcade Mid-set assists = Simcade No Assists = Simulation I set all my assists to 3 and it pretty much plays like the OG WRC games developed by Evolution Studios

[@Echo-uo2uc]

​@@P_D-px6ivehhh, it's a simcade at it's best

[@semiijs]

nothing compares in real driving physics to RBR. DR2 is just too easy. braking before corners are way too fast. cars have no weight.

[@tonypapado]

Nothing compares))) OMG how lousy physics in RBR. Driving physics in RBR is complete nonsense. Fans of this game, have you lost your mind? Cars slip excessively on any surface. Try driving a real car, it's nothing like it. RBR looks ugly, it's old, the menu is hideous. Yikes.

[@semiijs]

@@tonypapado have u ever tried to stop the car sideways on loose gravel from 150+km/h? Before simracing i was doing local rally events. Rbr was only game that let me feel the way as being in a real car

[@RidgeRicer]

DR2 too easy? DR2 is way harder than rbr imo, especially RWD, ESPECIALLY MR/RR

[@tonypapado]

@@semiijs If you want a real experience, then get in a real car. I tried this game and my disappointment knows no bounds.

[@semiijs]

@@tonypapado done it. As i said i drove irl before tried simracing. Unfortunate irl is too damn expensive these days, thats why switched to sim

[@kevedwards]

For bringing in new players into Rally DR is great and at some point if they’ve got a PC and are serious about realism they’ll migrate to RBR and in most cases never look back. That was my route into RBR and the forums are full on of drivers who say they’ve played DR for years but have now tried RBR and are hooked but RBR definitely isn’t for everyone, there’s a steep learning curve but the rewards when you get it right are exponential.

[@usefulidiot21]

This comment is the truth. I started with DR and the WRC games, then got into RBR and now I can't go back. RBR isn't for everybody and it's usually not a starting point for people getting into rally games, but it's there for those that want the most realistic rally game available.

[@thebeatbud]

Both games are extremely beautiful, awesome and escapistically immersive. It's difficult to choose which game is better.

[@imagineracer]

Well said!

[@lambrosh4072]

@@imagineracer LOl both beautiful exept the driving model of Dirt.Fake,tasteless,boring, driving model.Especially in try wth vr is more ridiculus.

[@handuke]

WRC Generations (and other Kiloton games) are unfairly overlooked imo. After a few weeks of EA WRC I found myself going back DR2.0 more and more. Then I got WRC Generations around new years and it's the only rally game I've played since then. Online leagues are fun, but stage design and driving physics are just so good. I actually enjoy tarmac stages and the gravel drifting is so controlled with left foot braking.

[@kontoname]

Is this on gamepad? I find the controls on WRC Generations unbearable on a full simrig sadly. And sadly it doesn't look like they'll fix it anymore But you're right, it's certainly a cool niche title - much like the Loeb Rally one

[@handuke]

@@kontoname I'm using a Logitech 920, it took some tweaking to get FFB good but it's mostly the different handling that made the game weird at first. You really need to keep the right foot down to get traction and control, coasting often means sliding out, but the right amount of wheel spin (using left foot braking while staying on the gas) can really claw the car through the stage. It's so much more satisfying than the coasting cornering in Code master games.

[@fozziebear8453]

The Sweden and Croatia stages in WRCG are my favourite locations in any rally game.

[@CobraChickenRacing]

I still consider Dirt 2.0 to be simcade at best, Respectfully. Even a completely overlooked older game like SLRE has much better physics. Don't get so caught up in graphics. Good wheel support and physics are what create a good driving experience.

[@imagineracer]

You're probably right, I'm focusing too much on how things look. Well, when I buy a DD steering wheel, such comparisons will acquire an additional dimension. I sincerely hope RBR is as good with steering wheel as people say it is.

[@ianfan1420]

Tbf, good sound design and graphics that don't look like they're from a PS2 game are just as important in creating a good and immersive driving experience.

[@Countrymusicnumber1]

I love Dirt Rally 2. But there’s no doubt RBR is king.

[@mantasbabenskas2761]

RBR remains the only simulator in rallying, especially considering the NGP physics. Dirt 2.0 is an arcade, which is complicated to drive. One of the biggest fatal flaws is exponential decrease of speed when sliding sideways. It means - like in other arcade games you can enter a corner at ridiculous speed, then just put your car sideways and it will stop significantly faster than braking in a straight line. It's wrong and it should not be done in a product which is named a simulator. It trains the wrong instincts and can be catastrophic if you try it in real life. The only thing where Dirt surpasses the RBR in is graphics. But it's kinda like preferring an opinion of an attractive person just because of the looks to the other one, who's intelligent and actually knows the subject :)

[@imagineracer]

It sounds like you're comparing these games to women. Well, the best woman is the one who makes you happy. Returning to the games, I will say that you, like many others, evaluate RBR from the point of view of physics realism. Well, no one argues here, RBR feels more realistic. But it's still a game. And there cannot be complete realism while sitting in front of a monitor screen. There are different rules of the game here and you strive to achieve success in accordance with these rules of the game.

[@mantasbabenskas2761]

@@imagineracer - no, you got it wrong, I've compered it to an opinion of an expert vs. of someone, who just looks handsome. For example, you need to fix your roof and two contractors arrive. Dirt Rally 2.0 is an attractive well-dressed person, who speaks well, but knows very little about the subject, will employ low-paid workers from 3rd world countries to actually do the job and that will cost you more and the quality will not be adequate. RBR, on the other hand, is an experienced roofer, who arrived in his working gear and an old van, who is man of few words, will tell you his honest opinion and will work on your roof along with his crew himself. But he will do the job properly and honestly. And regarding to realism, sure, RBR is not 100% accurate, but it was intended to do that and is developed to this day by the community, comparing to real cars via telemetry, etc. Dirt 2.0 simply can't do that. Its purpose is to sell more copies by giving emotion of success, not realism as lots of people don't have talent to drive on competitive level, so they'll hate rally sims. Also, generally people don't like sims, because they're too hard and rallying is more niche sport than circuit racing, where there are plenty of great products (then again - not Gran Turismo or Forza, they're also dirt rallies 2.0 in their own worlds). That's why we needed a man like late Richard Burns to get involved to create an investment that will never pays off. Nowadays I doubt many developers want to get involved since all of the ones, who created RBR, went bankrupt. The new proper sim has to get a big investment from either another rally superstar, FIA, teams (they have their own sims btw) or expand an existing platform like iRacing rallycross mode or, I dare to say - Beam NG. Sadly, none of the first options are likely to happen and the only hope is that Beam NG continues to develop towards realism (they're doing great, btw) and it being an open source game, the developers will then take on to create special stages like they do in RBR plugins. All we need is separate physics engine, the graphics can be updated any time and such sim can outlive even the RBR.

[@imagineracer]

I got your point. But don’t you think that you get a little carried away when you write "(Codemasters) will employ low-paid workers from 3rd world countries to actually do the job and that will cost you more and the quality will not be adequate"? I see that this game was made by professionals and people passionate about their work. Yes, Dirt Rally 2.0 is more commercially attractive and the physics in it are less realistic, but this doesn't make it some kind of ridiculous fake, poorly made by third world workers. I've been playing RBR for several months now and making videos about it, but I still don't understand why fans of this game are so aggressive towards other games and anyone who talks about any shortcomings in this game. In every video I say thanks to the modders and admire their work. I dream of making my own stage of good quality. And I envy people who have already developed these skills. Can you explain to me the psychology of RBR fans? This game already has legendary status and many fans. By making videos about this game I draw even more attention (even if it's just a little) to this game, why do I still feel like an enemy of the state in this territory?

[@ianfan1420]

Oh, the RBR fanboys never disappoint. Your arguments boil down to gatekeeping by using extremely stupid and over the top analogies or convenient double standards like: "RBR has bad graphics and audio (which are a core part of immersion) but the devs made it like this so it's actually completely fine."

[@Wedge4Life]

The King is BeamNG ..... Its the only thing that even compares to RBR, also some of the best driving roads in any game..

[@andyb311]

I'm interested in getting a gaming pc for rbr and beam ng. Can you have online races and challenges with friends on beam ng? Or is it a single player game?

[@Wedge4Life]

​@@andyb311 Sorry man I have no idea, I would probably ask on BeamNG forums (RBR will practically run on anything)...but beamNG is very high demand, it merely runs 'okay' on my PC ... t I kinda want to upgrade my VidCard for this and iRacing but probly not till I get some cash saved.....

[@mrtravnikar]

RBR has great sound if youre outside the car

[@imagineracer]

In my opinion, no other option compares to the view from the cockpit in RBR. The gameplay from the cockpit view in this game is incomparable. A sense of the dimensions of the car, a view of the road, etc. If only the sound here would be Codemasters level... but many cars have quite decent sound. This is more of a nitpick than an aspect that has a significant impact.

[@DeaShoost]

Agree, i have a virtual 5.1 headset and use spatial sound/Windows sonic for headphones, the sound in DR2.0 is fantastic for immersion. ​@@imagineracer

[@lambrosh4072]

Dirt really 2.0 is fun till you commit all stages to mind… and that takes a month or so intense driving. I would pay to have the long stages of ea etc in dr2. Rbr is fun because there are so variety that each stage is new because is difficult time all to mind

[@imagineracer]

Yep, variety of stages is an important aspect. New stages from Codemasters would significantly improve this situation.

[@SalaciousBCrumb-rr3jn]

The graphics and sound etc is dated in Burns , but the stages and the physics more than make up for the shortcomings. Playing Burns in VR even with a rubbish cockpit is awesome. And its free.

[@imagineracer]

1. I don't consider this game an arcade game. 2. There is not a single game that can be qualified as a real simulator. People with real racing experience talk about this. And this applies not only to rallying. It's the same in circuit racing. 3. The physics of the cars in RBR feels more realistic, yes. But if you really want you can also call RBR an arcade as well. I use controller and enjoy the process. The line between an arcade, simcade and a simulator game is in the realm of your own feelings. There is no measurement system in which such concepts can be objectively classified.

If the wheel itself is the problem, temporarily set the degrees of rotation of the wheel very low (like 180 degrees) in Ghub, bind the steering, then return the rotation to the value you normally use. Make sure to do the controls binding in the main menu, not when paused on stage, otherwise it will not save them.

Have you tried the view from the cockpit in RBR? If you played with a chase camera, then such a reaction is possible, I won’t argue. But if you played with a camera from the cockpit and you rate the car physics as 1-2 out of 10... then I have no more words. For anyone who has a similar reaction after their first experience in RBR, I have one piece of advice: choose a cockpit view and give this game a chance. At least a couple of hours. And choose a good quality stage, for example one of these: - Woliborz-Jodlownik (8,2km Tarmac) - SS Berica (14,8km Gravel) - Vargassence (14,9km Snow) - Ui. Rajdova (1,6 Tarmac) - Stryckovy-Zadni Porici (6,9km Tarmac) - Rosciszow-Walim (8,5km Tarmac) - Huppyjulma Gravel (6,2km Gravel) - Huppyjulma Tarmac (6,2km Tarmac) - Hassi (7,8km Gravel) - Elmenteita (3,6km Gravel)
