I've since ditched my wheel for a controller now that I'm in the higher difficulty career section since I'm much faster on it.Series veterans will note that a lot of the stages themselves are repeats from previous games, but I like having them all here in one package with consistent features. It got better over time after updates, so I'm hoping this would be the case as well.įorce Feedback is a bit of hit or miss it seems like. I remember the physics being really wonky when Germany was released in the first game. There's been instances where I've had to sit there and keep hitting "retry" until my connection allowed me continue with MY SINGLE PLAYER CAREER! The only time I did anything remotely "on-line" with Dirt Rally was the daily/weekly challenges, and that only requires being connected once (to upload your time to the leader board).Īs I mentioned earlier, I thought the gravel physics were pretty decent, and I love the course degradation, but I wasn't too surprised on the sub-optimal tarmac physics. Ya, I kinda agree with most of his observations. Coach Ian over at You Suck at Racing hated it: They ditched Finland?! BigFatFlip - I have less time in than you, but I’m enjoying the new courses. Over all, great game and should take up a good amount of my time in the near future, trying to master the impossible handling and stages. I ended up turning down all the impacts but bumping up tires and suspension, which really made it more realistic and allows you to manage understeer or catch the rear end before slipping. I like having the option of turning up/down individual force feedback coming from impacts, the engine, tires, suspension, etc.
Had to play a lot more with settings for the Fanatec wheel set-up. The game handles surprisingly well on the Xbox controller with very little tweaking. The menu can be a little confusing compared to the first Dirt Rally, but maybe just takes some getting used to.
I miss Monte Carlo (which will be coming as a DLC) and very sad no more Finland (where most of the pace notes say "jump" or "over crest" lol). Track selection is a little disappointing. Gives a better level of immersion when in service/not driving. I also like the addition of tire selection and having "levels" of fixes ie quick fix vs repair vs replace.
It really makes you have to process what you see ahead of you compared to what you hear on the pace notes then make a judgement call on where to put the car. Dirt/gravel surfaces get rutted and pull the car around if you drive over it while tarmac tracks get covered with puddles/mud which make em slippery and cause the car to handle unexpectedly for a split second when you hit it. I was a little skeptical about the "track degradation" feature but it really comes into play. Been hitting Dirt Rally 2.0 pretty hard since the weekend.
