[PC] Dirt Rally review

[VR46]

A users Youtube video which shows the game off superbly. That is all. Full screen 1080p essential.

It does look great.

Looks great - why no consoles though?

It's still in Beta.

It's still in Beta.

True, funny thing is though, in about 20 hours of actual driving I've not encountered one bug or crash so far.
Would expect full PC release at the end of 2015 and maybe a console release towards the end of 2016, pure speculation on my part.

Massive new patch 7gb. Looks like they've fixed VR support. Woot going to try that asap.

[VR46]

They've added the twelve new rally stages from Germany and five new cars in this update (Tarmac Terrors it's called) and fixed about 20 little bits.

This really is one of the best racing games I've played in the last 15 years without a doubt.

12 new rally stages based at Baumholder in Germany

Group B RWB cars, Jesus they are a handful with the TCS turned off.

And for you Charles, coming end of July...

Next stop. Rallycross.

I want this game on PS4 so badly!

@VR46 are the Group B cars in their period liveries?

[VR46]

I believe so, all of the cars in the game have between 3 and 8 liveries each.

Youtube will probably answer your question exactly.

Really can't see console release coming until late 2016, looks like they are tied up with the PC version until the end of this year at least. They are putting the Early Access price up by a couple of quid next month to tie in with all the content they've added since it first hit Early Access.

A late 2016 release quite likely due to how gorgeous this game is. You can't play this any less than 1080 / 60fps if you want to keep the experience. I can't see the current gen doing it unless some compromises are made.

[VR46]

Quite agree, the screenshots really don't do it justice, you need to be watching or playing it at 1080/60 to fully appreciate.
Supergoal - what is your Steam name so we can compare some times?

I don't know, isn't this running on a modified version of the Dirt 3 engine? It was already a pretty game on 360 running at 30 FPS, I don't think this will tax the new consoles too heavily, especially at what F1 2015, Forza 6 and PCARS are pulling off already on PS4.

Looking forward to the console release either way.

After looking around at gfx cards, I just gave up and decided to pray for an xbox release.
