Trying To Survive One Of The Hardest Stages In WRC 8

Quad the best horror games are horror games.

[@QuaddyBoi]

@@jaxxryan1374 I disagree, hitting corners at speeds on a dirt road wheels spinning, barely controlling your vehicle, while a co-driver is telling you what's next and trying to process that information, one wrong move and you're off the edge of a cliff, not only that but you're trying to beat an opponent, I'd say that's the most thrilling and scary experience in gaming if you ask me.

[@americanpride9733]

Heldermaior How do you even build maps like this in games

[@RobGcraft]

How would someone build a map like this in a game?

[@Heldermaior]

@@RobGcraft you can take a series of photographs with a good camera whose position you know (think camera with gps receiver on top) and use a 3D reconstruction algorithm. Then you need to import that into the game and probably tweak the quality a bit (removing extra polygons, using texture mapping to provide the depth of the objects without huge impact in resources, correcting artifacts, etc). I don't do the gaming bit so someone else might know better. But as far as acquiring the data goes, that is how you can do it. You can also use LiDAR as an alternative and build a mesh through that.

I'm extraordinarily pleased that this game has long stages in it and multiple unique stages making up a rally. I remember watching vids for the original Dirt Rally demo game and was confused why everyone loved it. Codemasters basically split one long stage into multiple mini stages and called that a complete rally.

Here it's the same. Even at the beginning of this video you can see the shorter stages are various pieces of this long one plus reversed. Still, with that many locations it's not a surprise.
