My favourite thing about EA SPORTS WRC so far is the stages. It’s clear that some serious love & effort has gone into them . With 17 locations, each with their own distinct vibe and 30km layout. They’re rendered in a staggering amount of detail of for the size of them. It makes you believe they’re truly a 1:1, almost laser scanned recreation, that include so much detail that most of it is invisible to the eye.
In pretty much every rally game to date, these stages have been b*******d. Making them flatter, wider, straighter, and overall, removing any semblance of a challenge. But not in WRC. These stages are actually claustrophobic and technically challenging. They’re an absolute treat to drive on; and not just for your eyes. It’s incredibly easy to get lost in a stage. You forget you’re just a nerd playing a video game with a fake steering wheel. Bumps and knocks your car takes feel very real, and an intense state of anxiety comes over you, when you get just a bit too close to the edge of the 100ft drop into dense forest.

Hello I basically designed most of the WRC 9, 10, Generations stages at Kylotonn for the previous entries and I must say the Codies tracks, when they don’t take « a lot » of inspirations from the KT stages (basically Japan is the exact same roads, every country has the same landmark which they took Inspiration of kinda) the stages lacks a lot of polish. In every gameplay I’m seeing they have what we call « trench issues » which is the road flying above the ground that can cause physical and graphical issue. This is an easy fix thing and there’s a lot of other details that cries the lack of polish. I hope they gonna fix it before the release. Note after release: the game is still unpolished af lol

[@extremeencounter7458]

Idk man, what's your opinion on the comparison with previous entries? For example, Dirt Rally 2.0 looks to feel much better in terms of how the car behaves, what with how much shake, vibration, and turbulence there is. In all the videos for this game, the cars' motions look... static. Compared to real footage, this game looks far too docile.

[@ShavoSoaDer]

KT stages are super fun to drive but not sure if comparing design to Codies tracks is completely fair. Codies stages are just real-life roads which tends to be relatively bland. In KT, outside part of Fafe, rallycross track in Estonia and super special stages, it seems like everything is your creative work, much more picturesque but only loosely inspired by real stages. Kinda referring to "lack of polish": could you tell me why Poland was not in Generations? I know it's used for test area but it's not the same. I loved Kruklanki stage in WRC 7.

[@Zerth0_yt]

​@@ShavoSoaDer Yo ! I agree with you comparing the 2 games workflow wasn't my best move since this is two opposition way of working on stages. I just feel disapointed that they didn't go all out with their process and forgets that it's still game and lacks LD gameplay elements. I don't mind having real life stages but they lack a lot of precision and detail which is a shame. We didn't had poland stages cause of priorities of production. It was a topic of discuss on the team and we had just not enough time to remake the poland country from scratch (obviously can't just make a retake like Monte carlo or Mexico had cause as you said, polish had became the free roaming). A country takes approximately 4 months to be finished (+ 1 or 2 weeks of polishing) so here is your awnser. This is also the cause of another country that had to be released with Sweden in generations but didn't made it to final stage of production due to budget priorities. I can easily tell this was the best stage ever produced on a rally game ever so sad it couldn't be released .... It was like my masterpiece :')

[@ShavoSoaDer]

@@Zerth0_yt Thanks for info, now I am sad too that we don't get that another stage and curious what country would that be :) Codies should mix it up a little and add some stages like ones you created. While I appreciate real-life roads, Mendenitsa, Ortrask or Shitara from WRC:G have bigger replay value.

[@TMGaming]

Great video once again man! The previous WRC games had two advantages, the stage design and the tarmac physics (which they lost with Generations). When I heard the news about Codemasters picking up the license my greatest concern was the stage design because in the DiRT Rally games it was as you said very wide. Well it's so nice to see they learned from their mistakes and got some inspiration from the previous WRC games. Hopefully this is the route they're taking with this franchise and we end up with the greatest rally game soon both on physics and stage design! ps. loved the history lesson about the Group B Celica (reminded me of my videos), never knew about its success in the Safari Rally

[@zzysk2]

TA64 was the first Japanese car to win a round. ST165 was the first Japanese car used by a WRC champion. ST185 is the first time a Japanese car manufacturer has won the title. ST205... brought about a big buzz. 😅 I think Celica is necessary for WRC.

[@NegativeTravis]

Nissan actually holds the first title. First Japanese car to win any rally at all in 1970 (Safari) and the first Japanese car to win a round in the WRC (Safari) in 1973. Toyota won its first rally later on in 1973 (Round 11 vs. Nissan's Round 3 win).

One thing I would like to see changed is the cars' rotation point, it's fixed on their center of mass or just in the middle, making them turn at any speed as if they had 4 wheel steering, which isn't game breaking but, is it really necessary?, is it really that difficult to put them over the real axle and then add a variable with the cars' weight and directional acceleration to push said point forwards on drifts?

WRC from KT already "fixed" the stages, it has more realistic looking and beautifully crafted stages than this new game. KT's WRC was however not very immersive and driving just didn't feel very satisfying, even though in many ways more realistic than DR2.

[@gaetanconche87]

From what I see , this game looks like nearly perfect . Only one detail makes me have concern, the cockpit camera is fixed , it should shake according to the road , jumps, brakes and eyes movements in the turns.... Like a camera fixed on a helmet. Without this feature, it looks like the landscacpe scrolls around the car and not the opposite.

The only problem is everything is too bright and washed out like most modern games, making everything look flat. Once the in game brightness is lowered the visuals will look way better - the washed out shadows will return to true black, colour depth will return, and everything will look much more rich and realistic.

I've only played 3 hours of WRC 2023 but I feel the opposite. By Dirt Rally standards I agree the quality of the stages is incredible, almost rivaling WRC 10, but I'm yet to run into a single challenging part. In DR1 and 2.0 almost every stage has surprises in store, like that 200kph jump into a right 4 or 5 in Germany after you come out of the forest with the two square lefts, all of Greece, every log pile in Finland as well as the "big jump into house".. Scotland.. Wales.. A lot of the "excitement" is definitely down to the unreliable pace notes in DR2 but to me the stages in 2023 feel a lot more like Dirt 4 than anything else.

[@lKILLA]

The one thing they didn't fix is the pivot point. It's in the center of the car instead of the rear. So you constantly slide when you're supposed to have grip. It's like driving a forklift.

[@manucodalunga8893]

There is no pivot. It's the effect of the camera.

[@lKILLA]

​@manucodalunga8893 no it's not. Drive a car in a circle and you'll see the car begins to slide because the wheels are not actually touching the ground. You can do this in second gear going 20kmph. It has nothing to do with the camera.

[@Tony-1971]

The major problem in all rally titles outside of RBR is the lack of throttle oversteer in the 4WD rally cars. Its why RBR is alway going to be the best for physics. Im betting the cars in EA WRC understeer on the throttle once you get past 2nd gear, just like the last game. Too much grip on gravel in the new game as well. I've noticed that on tarmac the car handling looks broken on hairpins. The car doesn't slide or powerslide properly.

[@goodlookinouthomie1757]

I have watched a good critical video of WRC I forget the creator but he looked very carefully at the preview game footage and you can see the car rotates around a central point so the handling is as if the car had 4 wheel steering.

The safari rally was discontinued in 2002 until it came back in 2021.

[@satnav1980]

Rally is my favourite sport. I still play Dirt Rally and I'm trying to find Richard Burns Rally for the PS2. That game as well as the PS2s Colin McRae Rally is fantastic. I would buy this but I ain't giving EA any of my cash.

You can always pirate it

How's the tarmac feeling compare to dirt 2.0?

[@sxdattxb]

many say grip is better, but way more arcadish in many other aspects, so it makes all the improvements pointless. obviously its not on the level with rbr or AC. this game is for console kids on controllers

[@viviondioline]

This guy loves cars

[@qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm3937]

One thing I wish they would add is the self corrective steering wheel. There are inputs that are just not possible on a controller in the hairy moments that could be saved on a wheel or real life for example. AC has a mod for it and it is without doubt the greatest mod for feeling genuine feedback and oversteer control u can get on a controller. If this was to be added it would perfect the game for me

[@TSRB]

I played it on a gamepad and if anything the steering is *too* good. I found myself fish tailing a lot lol.

[@hdhighdesign2273]

My opinion based on reviews and KZbin videos: Number of cars/specials, game mode: 10/10 Driving, car behavior: 8/10 Car modeling: 7/10 Graphics/Environment/Ambiance...: 6/10

[@Jcushing5]

You obviously haven't played WRCG's stages

[@1nflict1]

i've never played any wrc games but i've played a lot of dirt rally 2, and for me the "more stages" or "more cars" with not that big of a change in graphics doesn't justify the $50 price tag when I got dirt rally and all of the dlc for like $15. I'll probably still end up trying this game a while after release but my hopes really aren't that high

[@iamzeusandthisisthetruth4229]

Ok, wait 3 YEARS, and you can get this for 29.99! Just wait till WRC, MAKES THEM, put one out EVERY YEARS! 23,24,25! So maybe 2 Years! Either way your opinion is a bit moot! New games don’t cost 15$, be happy this isn’t 99.99$!

[@nikosfotidas8543]

@@iamzeusandthisisthetruth4229 Also this game isn't even close to Dirt Rally 2.0... it's a MASSIVE upgrade... official license, deep and meaningful career mode, even more cars, better handling and physics, better multiplayer too, great stage degradation (especially on gravel)... and the price is very VERY fair... I mean 45$ if you pre-order while getting early access, 3 cosmetic liveries and 5 VIP rally passes for free? This is an INSANELY good deal... People are just nuts these days... they want things to be gifted to them and be super polished as well...

Dude literally said "Japanish wilderness." I love it.

[@brechtdebaene]

don't forget "japanish village"

[@beesnipes]

I play Dirt Rally 2 Religiously, I'm really hyped for WRC! Everything I've seen about it meets expectations and seems more than promising. Two more weeks!

[@capeman29]

The KT WRC series had great stages, all of them were tight, narrow, detailed and difficult. If every rally game to date refers to the Dirt Series being wide open easier stages, I'd agree, but not the last few years of the official games.

[@Psykoosi92]

Estonia was finally accepted into the nordic club!

[@CylonObi]

Japanish? must be some specific Walesenese pronunciation :D

[@panderalexander]

Classic Subaru, we got my husband and I in to rally 😍

[@tristannigol2924]

Many drives say that estonia is also really unique and stuff and they love it, also bmw m1 isnt front engined?, or did you refere to celica which is less cool looking aswell?

[@vycanismelodis]

bit rude of you to show one of the only moments in rbr which is wide and flat and straight as the example of that

[@TSRB]

Showing a stage which is narrow and hilly wouldn't have made much sense

[@vycanismelodis]

@@TSRB a stage from a different rally game such as one of the ps2/3 wrc games, colin mcrae rally games, v-rally, etc. would have been a better example because it would have been representative of the game, whereas that section of rbr is not representative of it

[@SlinkySlonkyWaffle]

@@TSRB its misleading at best. what a disappointment

[@jaysharp5654]

am i the only one who finds the visual underwhelming? might just be youtubes compression or the beta but the games visual just feel washed from the videos ive seen

[@MaxK17]

Now, I'm not gonna lie - when it comes to racing games, I'm as filthy as casual gets. I did try dirt (and a few older wrc I believe?) Series games, yet never found it in me to actually get a steering wheel and other peripherals for it. My knowledge on the subject is limited at best, is what I'm trying to articulate. Yet, the narration here, editing added up with a couple chuckles here and there make me want to redownload dirt 2.0 and try my best to set some records on keyboard. Good watch, man, thank you.

[@wpawipisda]

This map from Japanese stage reminds me of Shomaru Pass

[@fahrdynamikjk]

Lets hope the Simulation Aspect is on the same level than Assetto Corsa

[@SlinkySlonkyWaffle]

its barely tweaked DR2.0 physics...

[@Erowens98]

Not even close sadly. Tyre physics at least is highly simplified.

[@tijanatasic8331]

One word. Pivot!

[@Gabdimension]

Look at the bumps on the Roads! This is what all other Rally games missed! This is Great!!!!!!! Rally is about Shaking like hell that you make Puke! I want Puke when i play Rally games pls! Puke Simulator 23! This is Rally!

ESTONIA MENTIONED!!! RAAAAAAAH!!!

[@OkieDokieSmokie]

The biggest problem in rally games is not letting me turn every graphics setting to low or off.

[@donmaynardo]

Waiting for VR support -then buy

[@sxdattxb]

it will probably be really bad with poor performance. unreal engine problems...

[@latrazadaracing]

at 0:33 is funny that you put a RBR clip, talking about the detail and the challenge of the WRC game stages like if no game does it today, because precisely RBR community has been doing this for years and with even more atention to detail than EA

[@TSRB]

When WRC lets users create their own stages then I'll compare them

[@panvlk]

Additionally, pretty much all half serious rally games of last 8 years have the similar quality stages (DR+DR2+at least 6 latest WRC games). The point of the video largely stands on a completely fabricated premise, thus arrives to a flawed conclusion that EA WRC is somehow unique in stage design quality.

[@latrazadaracing]

@@panvlk Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo and Dirt Rally had some impressive stages, and even the past WRC games stages had some pretty nice details

[@TSRB]

@@panvlk The point of the video was to talk about stages i like in wrc. There was no conclusion lmao

[@3ller]

Well we have to give them credit on the 30 km ones at least but yeah they´re not thaaaaaaat superior to other games@@panvlk

[@zacharietelles7626]

Kylotonn did it first tho. 🤨

[@Tiny_Speck]

Yeah, these courses do look way better than Dirt Rally 2.0, but the courses in KT's WRC games were just amazing. Argentina was sooo narrow and Kenya had excellently diverse sections ranging from narrow to wide open. And so many other countries with great variety within a single stage. It's going to be hard to impress me with this new game honestly.

[@mx-gamesdev8287]

Yes, Being British Would really love to have Rally GB
