DR2.0 looks, sounds and plays better. The fact that they havent even managed to straight port it to the new engine, with equal looks/sounds/features is a real shame. Yes the stages are better, but its really at the cost of everything else. Was it worth it?

[@Luebke2773]

Yes, it was. Stages are much better. Not as good as in generations, but better. Dirt 2.0 was really bad handlingwise. Way to fast gameplay.

[@FlannelNZ]

What about the missing Telemetry/VR, The downgraded sounds, The terrible rain and snow effects, the terrible AI. It's certainly not the best blend of WRC and DR features that fans wanted@@Luebke2773

things just seem "flatter" in WRC generations. probably because they moved EVERYTHING to a new game engine and havent figured out how to get everything looking the right way like they have with Dirt Rally 2.0. I hope they get everything sorted out in the next art pass (i.e., reflective plastics, light bouncing inside the car, texture bumpiness, etc.)

For some reason, I can't hear the gravel hiting the floor of the car when playing using the chase cam on the new WRC on Series X. It's only audible if I turn the engine sound way down, which I'm not going to do.

[@carstenhomuth8509]

Sorry but the first thing... Why codemasters had made wrc with the unreal4 engine and not with the unreal5?! And i really think that the codemasters "house-engine" EGO made a really better job in DR2.0... WRC actually don't looks like a finished developer job... It's not a round package, i think... Hope they fix it a little bit more in direction like DIRT RALLY 2.0...

[@joshualap401]

I read in a comment section that Unreal Engine 5 was not released yet when they started developing this game so that is why it is in UE4. I also saw someone comment that the reason for the enige switch was that thier own engine was aleeady at it's limits with Dirt Rally 2. I am still dissapointed as well tho.

[@victornandez1029]

Old engine was not enough for longer stages as the new one from Chile (30kms)

[@MrSilverfish12]

I don't understand the hype around EA WRC. It looks like any other WRC to me and the handling looks slightly better than V Rally. EA has been paying influencers off left and right for this one.

[@Username_Invalid]

Bingo. The hype was beyond crazy, huge sim racers who are normally very critical, gave this game a full pass with all sort of issues both performance and handling.

[@pascalrofeldt7571]

Whats wrong with the handling?

[@clouds5]

That's how it works. The big companies buy successful IPs. Then they push out half finished games as quickly as possible and give them huge marketing budgets. People preorder and buy at release because everyone online talks positively only to realize they bought an beta or even alpha for full price.

[@snoopycharlie8718]

GT4 on PS2 ! How are things not WAY better two generations later.

[@bartekb47]

Trees and grass looks so fake and dead in the WRC. That’s a real shame, that they had to leave EGO and switch to UE4. Wonder why they didn’t go with UE5 if it was already available

[@jetstream01]

How you gonna so a sound comparison video with no track side shots?? The audio reflections, reverb, and echoes are what makes Dirt Rally unbeatable in the audio dept but you cant hear them from the chase cam (just like real life).

[@claudioskysicilia1872]

Awesome 2.0 Absolute 🥰🥰🥰

[@mattecrystal6403]

wrc interior sounds are better, dirt exterior sounds are better, dirt has far better graphics, wrc has far better maps. wrc has better handling for tarmac, idk which wins for dirt/gravel surfaces opinions seem mixed. wrc has better campaign. Was really looking forward too this game, and will still prob pick it up at some point but really sucks that the visuals are not up to par. Graphics matter to me and graphics degradation from a newer released title is doubly bad. Maybe not 100% fair in this case since it's not technically dirt rally 3 but as far as i'm concerned it should be treated as such.

[@damara2268]

It's kinda weird that some wrc stages actually have better graphics than DR2, but there are more stages with bad graphics than with good graphics. Some stages in this WRC look like old dirt 3 graphics. The cars also have greater detail in WRC than DR2. I think the game released with many stages not fully finished graphics-wise because of some stupidly short deadlines EA gave the devs. For example look at this stage at 15:31 vs this at 16:45. The difference in graphics is like 2023 vs 2015

[@NOMOREDEI]

wrc italy looks really good while mexico looks like it could be in dirt rally 1 also while stages are better in wrc the actual road surfaces are far too smooth making the game feel quite arcadey and easier to drive

[@markoradakovic7713]

[@pieterbalk-ht7kq]

I actually re-installed WRC Generations again last night. I did a one on one comparison on PS5 and WRC looks significantly better. BUT…..not better than DIRT Rally 2.0!!!!! ​​⁠WRC is apperently next gen only. It looks worse than a previous incarnation on lesser hardware on a previous generation though. Dirt Rally 2.0 to Dirt Rally was even a large graphical step forward in the same generation. This is a five year development cycle and new, much improved hardware and it looks inferior in many ways. What bothers me even more is that I find the track layouts uninspiring, barren, boring and generic. For instance Monte Carlo is almost a.i. generated like it is done with the trackbuilder in Dirt5. The uphill righthand corners keep repeating themselves in exactly the same way. It is like driving the same road for 17 km’s. Trackside details, elevation (like the Turkey track in Kileton’s efforts) etc. are all substantially lesser implemented than in Generations and even Codemasters’ own Dirt Rally 2.0.

[@pascalrofeldt7571]

What is inferior exceptfor the flat bushes tjat you only see when you crash your car? :D

[@jjeeqq]

Real life is uninspiring, barren, boring and generic too. Thats why we play video games.

Lol, skill issue!

[@brett22bt]

@@ThisVersusThat It's not funny. I'm giving you constructive feedback on how you can streamline your product and improve your channel. The first rule in business is not to disparage your customers. If you plan on being a serious content creator, perhaps you could consider rising above the banter and taking responsibility for any potential flaws associated with your brand. A successful business strategy relies on monitoring and responding positively to public reception of a product. A skill issue? Sure, I can keep tapping my phone or smart TV remote every few seconds so the KZbin progress bar appears, allowing me to view the time stamps, but what if I want to sit back and watch the video without distractions and constant interaction with the device? People just want to watch videos and enjoy the full-screen experience without complications. I'm supposed to be a viewer, not a participant. I also don't want to see KZbin overlays when critically analyzing graphic fidelity. I'd much prefer your polished editing skills displaying onscreen logos instead. Many other videos compare the same thing, but are presented in more professional formats. Please provide any reasons you may have to explain why I should continue supporting your channel, given the current state of your content, and your condescending attitude towards your fan base.

[@ThisVersusThat]

Someone found chat gpt😭 Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I genuinely appreciate your insights and understand your concerns about the viewing experience and the quality of my content. Firstly, I apologize if any previous interactions came across as dismissive. It was not my intention to disparage anyone. I value each and every one of my viewers and their input is crucial for the growth and improvement of this channel. Regarding your specific points: Viewing Experience: I understand the frustration with needing to interact frequently to see time stamps. I'm exploring ways to improve this, such as including more visible on-screen cues during key moments in the videos to help with navigation without disrupting the viewing experience. Full-Screen Experience: Your point about the importance of an uninterrupted full-screen experience is well taken. I'll look into minimizing unnecessary overlays and finding better ways to present information cleanly and professionally. Content Presentation: I am continuously working on refining my editing skills and the overall presentation of my videos. Your suggestion to include polished on-screen logos and a more professional format is something I will prioritize moving forward. The whole video has a format: first EA WRC, then Dirt Rally a normal person would notice that. I have used captions in some of my older videos, as seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYnKnHSkqL2kfbM kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzUmXePoLyneLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/d323iJJ3qtFnn6s I chose not to include captions in this particular video, but I can certainly add them in the future to help everyone stay on track. Here's how much of a constructive feedback you gave me. Comment 1: "Thanks for telling us which one is which.🙄" Issues: Sarcasm and Disrespect: The sarcastic tone and eye-rolling emoji indicate frustration but do not provide clear, actionable feedback. Lack of Specificity: The comment doesn’t specify what the issue is or how it could be resolved. Comment 2: "Yeah, I know, but it isn't easy to access on some platforms, especially phones. Even on a PC, I'm constantly hovering my mouse over the progress bar to see the time stamps. Just include some captions, bro. Or maybe you want to stay a small channel. Issues: Disrespectful Tone: Phrases like "Just include some captions, bro" and "Or maybe you want to stay a small channel" come off as condescending and dismissive. Negative Assumptions: The comment assumes the creator is either lazy or uninterested in growing their channel, which is unhelpful and demotivating. Vague Solution: While the comment does mention captions, it lacks detailed suggestions on how to implement them effectively. Why These Comments Aren’t Constructive: Negative Tone: Both comments use sarcasm and condescension, which can be discouraging rather than helpful. Lack of Specificity: Constructive feedback should be clear and specific about what the issue is and how it can be improved. Absence of Encouragement: Constructive feedback should balance criticism with positive reinforcement to motivate improvement. And yes this is funny.
