compared to dirt rally 2 this footage shows: 1. worse graphics - cars dont fit in the scene, they have different lighting than the rest of the scene and seem to float a bit above the actual ground surface - ugly 2. the driving seems kinda floaty on footage they shown

[@_RobertS]

All valid points. My personal biggest issue is with the basic physics. DR2 is ok as a game, but I want more realism. For example, it feels like the cars accelerate with the POWER curve of the engines, as opposed to the TORQUE curve. In a real car, if you STAY IN THE SAME GEAR and do an acceleration pull from low to high speed it will pull the hardest when the engine is at its peak torque, not peak power. In DR2 it feels like you get more acceleration all the way up to peak power, and that is simply wrong. (The reason you want to keep the engine at peak power when racing is because of different gearing. A lower gear will give you more acceleration, so even if the engine puts out less torque at a higher rpm the gearing will compensate for that.)

Thanks for the good FOV adjustability and info! And hoping the Manual clutch means what I think it means for Sequentials. 🤓

Shame there's no mention of dynamic weather, that was a neat feature in Kylotonn's WRC games. Tackling stages in different seasons is awesome though!

@@IanFox-ys8dxif kt didn't come up with long stages and all rally locations ea would give us the same old dr2.0 game reskinned and sell half of the rallies with a season pass. so og game would only have 6 rallies lol.

Tbh weather changes VERY rarely happen in real life stages. Kylotonn the weather changed way too much it was ridiculous. And the A.I always had an advantage so that made it annoying.

[@TK-bc3vn]

A little suggestion: Please add equipment classification and first or second perspective logos to the world ranking list. In the past, the DR2 world ranking list did not add logos, making it without reference value and fairness.

Trailers always look good, even gameplay trailers like these were however always made out better than what the game actually looks like, i'm sceptical as it looks pretty barebones both in graphics and features, in a trailer.

[@Richie_]

I love the game. The gravel & snow rallies, stages, are my favourite.

[@R3FL3X84]

2:15 This looks really good. its what we wanted a WRC game with Dirt rally handling system and the sounds too.

[@Paragleiber]

Love seeing all the 90s and 00s cars in the menu. That's my favorite era. The default liveries for the C4, 2008 Focus and Evo are a bit odd though. I hope the Evo will also have one with red instead of blue. :P

[@CAL1MBO]

That's the biggest issue you found with this?

[@Paragleiber]

@@CAL1MBO I didn't find any issues with it at all. What are yours?

[@magnusabel3113]

I think (like in Dirt Rally 2.0) Codemasters collaborated with the Solbergs, hence Petter´s C4 and Henning´s Focus, thats why they are the first choice in the menu :)

[@snaildriving]

I feel the hand of professionals, I'm sure the game will be amazing

[@purwantiallan5089]

What if Aerith Gainsborough and Tifa Lockhart made EA SPORTS WRC instead of these pros?

[@snaildriving]

@@purwantiallan5089 Based on the gameplay, I see that the game is already better than the WRC series, personally I only like the graphics in the WRC games, the physics and sounds suck. (I don't touch the WRC series for PS2, it's a different world) DiRT 2 is even better than these games. There was something more or less decent in WRC6 and 7. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about, if you want, go to my channel and see)))))))

[@reigninblood3998]

The only thing i didn't really like about Dirt Rally 2.0 was the asphalt physics, good enough for monaco, australia and poland but spain feels like it's just gravel but with a grip multiplier. I hope the new game has better physics when on proper roads.

Agree. Never liked playing Germany or Spain even though in WRCG and RBR Germany rally is one of my favs

[@reigninblood3998]

[@vaenii5056]

I'm not going to lie this actually sounds pretty good. Hard to judge the physics based on the video, but if the tarmac has been improved and the driving feels at least as good as in Dirt Rally 2.0 then obviously the game is worth every penny. The last EA game I played was Skate 3 over a decade ago but this might be the one. 👍

[@N3MAID3S]

I hope to god the textures are not final.. Many of them look like something made for a 5+ year old game. Like honestly, i would be embarrased to show this if it was me..

[@socks2441]

yeah, everthing looks quite low poly, the textures are not great either. but i think the thing hurting it the most is the lighting/ shadows/ ambient occlusion/ fog etc. plus there is not enough dust, mud etc

[@WparuSlowach]

Hopefully we get the same narrow stages as previously in WRC games. I am also hoping for complex and realistic damage model including mechanical damages.

The way the cars interact with the road doesn’t look right, there looks to be nothing going on with the suspension during corners and hard braking, the Kylotonn games had this nailed.
