Dirt Rally Update - Version 1.2

Hi all,

Version 1.2 of DiRT Rally has arrived, bringing with it Oculus Rift support! If you have an Oculus kit, here are some top tips to make the most of your new DiRT experience...

• To get the game to boot in VR, simply plug in your Oculus headset before you press Play in Steam.
• We don’t recommend you turn on VR in the Steam Client, as doing so will disable the Steam Overlay on the desktop image of the game.
• To re-centre your view, just hit the Left Ctrl key.
• We have added configurable options in the HUD settings in order to reduce motion sickness, which are active by default. We’ve also given each track a comfort rating as a guide to help control motion sickness.
• DK2 does work with the VR version of DiRT Rally.
In terms of fixes, it’s a very short list – but this is one that will improve some of your replays no end:
• Graphics - Motion blur being applied to AI cars.
As always, please let us know if you’ve got any feedback about this patch in the usual places – like here, on our Codemasters forums, or on Reddit – but we hope you enjoy the update!

We’ll discuss these in closer detail in tomorrow’s Road Book – but to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, we’ve added the following content:

- Art - We’ve updated Pikes Peak International Hill Climb to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the event, complete with official PPIHC logos and branding.

- Game - We’ve updated the handling on the Hill Climb cars so that you can really attack the iconic Hill Climb course.

We hope the patch in all of its Pikes Peak glory really enhances the Hill Climb experience for you, and that the fixes leave your DiRT Rally experience a lot smoother and more fun to play. As always, if you have any feedback for this update, please head to Twitter, Facebook or our Codemasters forums to share it!

It's one of the most realistic rally games ever made, however damage is terrible, it's still made for drooly kids who drool all over their keyboard while playing and crash into trees 1000x per stage and they can still drive after that.

They really need to make damage realistic, similar to what it is in BeamNG. in fact since it's rally game, it could have BeamNG like damage physics or similar to Wreckfest. One small crash should break your car's body a lot, if you slide against a rock with wheel, then your race should be over or at least RIP @ wheel, but instead you can continue racing.

Camera angles in replay are horrible too, sometimes i just wanna enjoy seeing the replay, but 90% of the time it goes to some lame bumper or wheel camera that shows you nothing at all.

However overall, the rally experience is really good, graphics and effects are nice too. I recommend this game if you just want to enjoy some rally. It has very realistic handling, cars handle quite real, there's room for improvements, but it's nicely done.

Just RallyCross on Multiplayer mode. :(((((.
The game is very nice though, much more difficult to play than DIrt 2 or 3. It's more like a simulator.

This is by far the best racing simulator I have ever played. I have Assetto Corsa, Gran Turismo, Forza Motorsport, Next Car Game, and a few others I have forgotten about since I purchased Dirt Rally.

Dirt Rally is difficult but fair! You will get frustrated! You will throw your controller across the room! You will lose over and over and reset a million times! It's all worth it to eventually figure out your lines and whoop the AI's ♥♥♥.

I use an XBOX controller btw and don't feel like I need to buy a full blown racing wheel to enjoy the game.

You don't need an incredible card to achieve high frame rates either. Dirt Rally's graphics options are incredibly scalable! Even if you don't have the most recent graphics card, Dirt Rally will allow you to configure the graphics to fit your needs without sacrificing too much bling.

This game rules and you shouldn't waste your money on other racing simulators until you have purchased Dirt Rally.

Just tried I a few minutes and refunded it.

Not because it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. I simply can't enjoy it since I got severe VR sickness from it.

But I gotta say even just a few minutes, it's feels awesome.

I would like to recommend this game to anyone has the VR device. If you got sickness as I did, just refund it. If not, then enjoy.

I was getting concerned about the lack of good VR content, this game has officially restored my faith. I played quite a bit on the non VR version and the improvement in my driving after switching to VR is substantial. I can anticipate turns much better and have an overall better feel for the driving dynamics of the vehicle. Oh, and this isn't a crappy VR port, it feels tailor made for the goggles.

Went back to Project Cars VR, huge fan of 2D version btw, for a comparison. Dirt puts it to shame. Graphics settings remain extensive and I have them maxed on an MSI 1070 with oculus debug tool set to 1.5. Like butter after the 2 most recent Nvidia driver updates.

It's relatively intense mentally, not motion sickness mind you, and I usually need to take a break after an hour or so. This is a good thing and reminds me of the adrenaline drain after going to a real track, although not quite that dramatic.

~ Release Date: 7 Dec, 2015

Graphics
Game looks fantastic. There's a few things that Codemasters should improve like the spectators. They kinda look ugly for a 2015 game. And there's a few visual bugs related to shadows but nothing too severe. Interiors are BEAUTIFUL, full of details and speaking about details, the game is full of them inside and outside the vehicles. The mud, the burning brakes at night...

Sound
Again, fantastic job. Cars sound incredible, specially the group B. You can even hear the window rattle. Soundtrack is nice, nothing too fancy but does the job.

Gameplay
Now, this is where the game proves that is not a DiRT4. Rally is closer to simulation than ever before. There's a few options to make the experience a lil close to arcade (ABS, TCS, stuff like that) but if you turn them all off the game feels pretty realistic. I can't say how close is to RBR but one thing is certain, this is completely different to DiRT or even CM.

And they added a few features, like upgrades for the cars (Nothing too powerful to make that Mini the ultimate rally car) and staff management, where you choose the team, pay their salaries, fire them and ofc each one has different stats that affect for example, the amount of damage they can repair between stages.

All in All DiRT Rally is a nice Rally Game :-)

10/10 From Me

When this launched in early access I was taken back to a time when Dirt games (Colin McRae) were simulators not wannabe arcade games. Sure the game was minimal in tracks and cars but it showed the intent of the dev team perfectly. This is the game we want to make now, are you guys in or not?

Well yeah, I was in.. did they come true on their promises? Yes, all of them IMO and then some.

For an early access game to support force feedback wheels, that's good but kinda necessary for a racing simulator. For it also to support TrackIR for headlook and my HD3D monitor is awesome and it looked amazing.

Fast forward god knows how many months and the games been launched and now the VR patch has dropped. It was a hefty update but I'm very happy to say it just worked. Launch game, bam it's running on the Rift. So TrackIR sold, HD3D no longer necessary.

This is the rally game you've been waiting for; if you've just got a joypad... jump right in it's perfectly playable. If you've got an FFB you're in for a treat; if you've got VR you're in for an even bigger treat especially on the wet stages, bloody rain!

tl;dr

This is not an arcade game though, it will require a decent investment of time to get good. 8 hours or so into playing it and er... well I still suck. Now the Rift patch has dropped though I can start investing more time; this is what I've been waiting for.

This game has the developer support, the peripheral/accessory support, tracks you'll love to hate, the cars you want to drive and the ongoing online challenges you want, it has a good single player mode with multi stage races, car damage with correct time scales to repair the car between stages.

I had so much joy with DiRT 3, but there's more. Let's have a close look to DiRT Rally.

DiRT Rally is a rally game with plenty of modes like plain rally, rallycross and hillclimb. In the career, you start up with the oldest rally cars you can imagine of and pick either generated championships that go harder and harder or your own created championships. Over time you earn money and can buy some better cars and hire trained engineers that keep your car alive and install handy upgrades.

Graphics, sounds and physics are a impressive step and don't need overkill hardware. Recently, VR support was added which I find fancy. I haven't one of those VR-headsets yet, though.

Be aware that DiRT Rally is pretty much deep and demanding, therefore I'd rather call it a simulator, a tough one. There's no map, just You, the Co-driver and the car. Not all the damage can be repaired at once and it even decreases the earnings if you decide to restart. There's only one try for the online time trials also. In the other hand, you can activate driving aids if you need to.
It's important to find the most comfy steering method and the car's tuning for you. Keep a cool head and take breaks over time.

Do you love cars and won't mind a bunch of dirt? Would you accept the challenge? Get it.
