why the fuck you not play this?

I set it up just tonight with the g27 and some friends over after boardgame night finished up. Was fun taking turns to see who could go the fastest. Curious though, is there ONLY randomly generated maps now? They look good, sure. But it feels a bit weak compared to finely crafted preset maps. I was under the impression randomly generated maps would be a feature but not the only thing.

I do play it. Get on multiplayer for some fun shit motherfuckers.

Didnt they just make a Dirt game? I dont give a shit about either but this seems rushed.

it's not as good as Dirt Rally so idk why they even released this. i guess for normies who need that retarded extra-grippy physics that have no place in a game about racing on RALLY TRACKS

>>379821816
Dirt Rally was a test to see if there was interest in a Rally sim as well as a test of their engine. It was officially finished December 2015. I suppose you could say they kept updating it up to the official release of their console version later in April, but those updates were extremely minor compared. Rally was basically done a year and a half ago and even before that was sitting in early access for quite a while.

Dirt 4 is going to be more of their flagship for the series now, probably getting more post release content and such.

You're a fucking scrub mate, go play the next instalment of EA's Need for Speed: retard sick drift edition.

Because its just more arcadey bullshit. Pirated it, then almost instantly uninstalled it. I might pick it up for $10 max.

I'm still enjoying dirt 3

I was of this mindset until I played a sim. A "never let go of accelerate" game that gives you a button to auto drift and makes all the cars just stat differences are dull as fuck. The fun of racing is mastery of the machine and physics behind the giant hunk of metal you're riding.

>>379820491

I pirated it.

An anon yesterday complained about how even on simulation steering it felt like it was on-rails. I kind of agree. It's not literally on-rails but it sure as fuck doesn't feel like you have full control of the car. It feels like it steers itself at points.

Dirt Rally is better. I'm gonna stick with that.

Worse than Dirt Rally

Codemasters implemented new braking physics that differentiate more between straight line braking and slide braking. Braking in straight to a corner gives you shit tons more grip. It was in Dirt Rally but the effect wasn't as pronounced and slide braking/handbrake turns were more effective on what routes they designed. I don't get the bitching about it. It's the same as DIRT Rally except your grip levels are way more noticeable going into corners if you straight line brake. You are just more aware of braking in having different effects when the game tells you "Here's how to get more grip" in the Rally School section.

Ive been pretty much playing the game nonstop since Friday. Only stopped to watch EA's press conference. I really don't understand why the fanbase is so split on this one. The aero is better, the weight distribution is better, the suspension is better, the damage model is better, and the inertia is better, but its somehow not a sim but Dirt Rally is? I feel like 12 years of RBR is tainting people opinion and people miss the "Press this to tokyo drift" button. Also no one seems to actually set up their cars for some reason. Codies should have added more cars and locations though, more eastern european and african countries.

Torrent is slow as shit because of leechers

>>379823045
This really is a case of /v/ just being painfully /v/ about something new. Between the horribly inarticulate opinion and how completely disconnected from any facts the complaints are, it's not hard to see what's just shitposting.

>ask if they will make another game soon after dirt rally

Enjoy Dirt Rally, friendo. I hope you got it on sale. It should be fine while you wait for Dirt 4 to go on sale.

The R2 cars (first cars you start the career with) are an absolute bore to drive, but stick with it and get to the Group A cars and you'll be having a blast again with flashbacks to Dirt Rally

The sim fans need to chill the fuck out. Dirt Rally's "simulation" was not realistic at all. Was it fun and challenging on Dirt Rally's "Everything is ice" physics? Hell yeah, but no rally car actually slides that much, and the cars literally had no weight to them, which Dirt 4 fixes. I agree That Dirt 4 is a bit too grippy right now, but Codies can definitely tweak those levels.

Also just want to say FUCKING FOG STAGE BULLSHIT CAN'T SEE 10 FEET IN FRONT OF YOU REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>379823736
It's hilarious to compare these with threads a couple years ago where Rally was being called "Like playing in syrup" with way too much grip. Everyone is so god damn awful at talking about driving that it's basically opposite day every day. Between the horrifically overblown opinions to the people who know jack shit about driving and mixed with the people who can't remember a god damn thing to draw any real factual comparisons just going with how they "feel", these threads are a complete shitshow.

The physics are fine you fuckers. I went strait from playing Rally to this and outside of some added little touches, all my experience with Rally transfered into 4 perfectly fine and am driving just as good as ever.

>>379823736
Agreed. I think there's a bit too much grip, and the snapping back to a straight line after inducing oversteer is too strong. But, other than that, I think everything else is improved over DR.

For the people who say D4 is on rails and is to easy, I'm curious where they're ranking on the leaderboards in comparison to DR. For me, I'm the exact same on both.

So this is my first Dirt game. I actually really fucking love it.

But- Why does the game look like shit? It has the visual qualities of a Last Gen Remaster.

Wipeout Omega is better. If that had not launched the same month I would have grabbed it.

>>379824708
Codies refuses to use a new engine. This is the same engine that powered Race Driver: GRID and the original DIRT 10 years ago, just with updated physics.

>>379824856
So is there really any difference between 4 and rally? Other than having some extra vehicles and trophy trucks?

>>379824708
Partially it's just not their focus. While I wish the rain left more realistic droplets on the windshield and little details that would actually matter, they just know they can't beat big AAA racers in the area of delivering car porn and mega texture roads.

Another part of it however is the randomly generated assets. Things always look worse when they have to do that.

>>379824991
4 feels better. Its really the main selling point, that and the procedural generation. Rally felt really samey after 100 hours and the main request was more tracks so they fixed that. Really the main draw is the better physics and future updates. Yeah that sounds stupid, but if you're crazy about simracing 60 bucks for a physics update isnt too far fetched. Ive paid more for less.

no Trans Am

Dirt Rally was kind of boring. I can't see why I'd get this.

I prefer street races anyway.

Dirt 4 feels like Dirt 2 and 3 mixed with Dirt Rally. And don't worry none of the DUDEBRO-ness carried over in Dirt 4.

Completely revamped career mode which is honestly neat as fuck. I like the podium finishes and building your team feels so nice now over Dirt Rally's Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet team management system.

You can also customize your car and create your own liveries and choose which sponsorship to get and put their decals on your car.

I haven't touched Rallycross and the Buggy racing yet, but they're in there too.

The game just honestly feels like a fleshed out Dirt Rally with more cars and more to do.

I just wish they improved the Replay system. The one thing I really wanted them to touch up, and they didn't. It's the exact same replay system that was in Dirt Rally and I hated it. The cameras are all too far and they never get appealing shots of your car. I really wanted the game to have a photo editor, where you could just simply pause the game, go into photo mode, and with a freecam style thing, fly around your car, adjust contrast/color depth of field etc. and take pics of. Think of Forza Motorsport or Euro Truck Simulator 2/American Truck Simulator's systems. Let me take good screenshots of your cars damn it Codies.

>>379825643
I disagree with your opinion but completely respect it. Sometimes I like street racers too but generally prefer rally games. Have a nice day anon :)

eh i'm not done with dirt rally at all so i don't see the point in paying full price for 4

>watching Dirt 4 videos on youtube
>literally every person has those shitty pacenote icons on that show them what to do.

FUCK OFFFFFFFF

>>379825491
I'm barely in this at all so far and haven't gotten much into campaign mode. Do they have non procedural generated tracks? I honestly miss Dirt Rally from all the free play random tracks I've done. The roads end up seemingly being all the same where as Rally could transition from road to dirt to gravel and such in a logical way that was interesting, and turning complexity up seems to just create an evenly distributed amount of turns across the board. There's no like part where it gets really sharp and a strait away in the middle or anything like that. It's good for what it is, but I really hope this isn't the only shit I get to play.

>>379825106
>have to
or you can just launch your car over the berm and it will force the event.

But yeah, it's neat.

>>379826223
Nope. Procedural only. I thought they were going to port over the maps from Dirt Rally but apparently not. Also the campaign is really, really short. They way the game is structured it's basically an extended tutorial. Its obvious they wanted free play to serve as the main meat of the game since progression carries into it and from championship to championship. But hey dude don't give up hope they could add back the Dirt Rally tracks as DLC.

>>379820491
because dirt rally was better

>>379826604
I just hope they fine tune the track generator to live up to the procedural part of their name. Right now it feels like a raw random number generator. With some adjustments, I could see this making more logical tracks with more interesting results.

>>379822130
garbage opinion

>>379826658
Nope. Back to more traditional rally. Rallycross has gotten the backseat. It's no Colin Mcrae or Sega Rally, but it's something.

Questions about the Sim and Gamer modes in the game.:

1. Can you make two profiles, one for each mode?
2. Can you switch modes?
3. Can you play online with people who have a different mode?

>>379826952
Nope just one profile.
You can switch modes at the beginning of any race. You can't switch mid-race, but at the start of every race you can change the difficulty (gamer and simulation is in the difficulty section)
And nope, you're always playing versus people with the same mode as you. Gamer and Sim each have their own leaderboards

>>379825793
Thanks for the detailed response anon.

>>379827249
thanks for clearing up

>>379820491
I don't play games that don't use Denuvo

Also pro tip for anyone starting out

Immediately switch co-driver in the team menu.

Jen (the female voice) is.... strange. I can't put my finger on it but her voice sounds out of place.

Nicky Grist is by far the better co-driver. He was Colin McRae's co-driver for a reason

and for the love of god pay attention to your co-driver's pace notes. His voice is your guiding beacon

I know it makes me less hardcore, but I like music when playing. There's no way to get the audio balance perfect, so I just leave it on for the small bit of extra information in case audio gets lost in my mix I have going.

>>379828095
I don't mind Nicky. She does her job reading notes and nothing about her inhibits your driving. But on that second part, yeah. There's a reason pro drivers needs their readers. In order to exceed 60 miles an hour, you're gonna need someone telling you what's up next.

I don't feel like I need a whole box. I already have a G27 and a nice stand for it. My only bother is the lack of a hand brake. I have to just keep it on a button sadly which bugs me, but other than a literal car seat, I've got everything I need.

I liked Dirt Rally a lot, but this game doesnt have that depth and dynamic. All the tracks feel unreasonably bumpy and artificial, even asphalted roads. Dont think any of this is handcrafted.
But even with shitty roads there less situations for rewind button, i dont feel road or car at all and cant speed up.

that thing is exhausting so much heat it melted the clock on the wall.

I got Dirt Rally in the humble monthly and played it for a while. I'm not good at it but had some fun, particularly the Finland stages were great.

Then tried to go back to Dirt 3 and it was basically unplayable, the handling felt so bad and simplistic in comparison.

I was a bit excited for Dirt 4 at first but now I'm worried it's too close to 3 for me to be able to enjoy it.
