I once asked mika-n from RSF if I can donate to RSF and he told me to just enjoy the game. These are the kind of people we need more in the world.

Is there any other open source racing or rally games like this one?

Im not buying it... it great to talk about how good it was at the time. Like mike tyson. The best, but time will show even mike is old and missing a step. I'm staying with modern games

I think its annoying 😂. I feel like i unlearn how to drive in this game. It feels fantastic at times then a completely different game day to day. I know dirt has less real physics but i prefer the consistency.

I used to be a rally enthusiast back in 2007-8 and did play RBR, and i remember thinking: this sim is so good, it'll be the best rally sim for many years. I was goddamn right, right?

As much as I love RBR, it is the most overrated shit I've ever seen in my life, no shit a game that's over 2 decades old and has people working on content and fixing the game for free for over 2 decades is better than the shit we have now and we probably will have. Thinking like this, we can say that AC is the best racing game of all time, or Fallout NV is the best shooter of all time, even if its unmodified shooting mechanics are ass

10 more years, and the game will outlive Richard Burns himself rip. I like to think he would be happy how the game ended up.

RBR is so good. It was really impressive back then from the physics side, and even to this date it holds to that. Rallysimfans made the sim even better. No rallygame compares to it. If they ever release a remake of RBR, i really hope it’s gonna have same mods support it has now and NGP integrated to it and more cars than just 8. RBR with modern day graphics with excellent optimizations would be a hooot banger.

I didnt know someone could be so bad at this game 😂 tough to watch

you got a discord homie?

Rbr is amazing

This guy loves getting blasted

The problem I have with RBR is that it takes a ton of tweaking to get it to be a great sim. It's not for the faint of heart thats for sure. You have to install several gigabytes worth of mods and mess with content managers etc to be a great game, the learning curve is massive, its not a install and go experience at all. I have gone through this process just to be still frustrated with lack of support for certain wheels and janky menus and non overall user friendliness. Sure it's great for a 20 year old game but I still prefer the newer games just for the overall experience, and I don't care what anyone says graphical experience adds to immersion factor. Potato graphics don't help with immersion at all sorry.

Abandonware? do you know if the original developer files, source code, IP etc were found? That's the holy grail everyone is trying to get their hands on (original tyre modelling & physics engine).

It’s good with a wheel .. but with keyboard not that much … I don’t know if you can fine tune it .. but it took long to turn.. I don’t mean understeer or oversteer .. same if you had just 100dpi on your mouse … it takes long to get your mouse from left to right side , Or from middle to right … same here if I turned nearly nothing happend … it feeled like my driver turned the wheel in slow motion … it was hard enough to even run It on keyboard and making the even car turn because there was only X-axis and no left or right for steering, I really hope a newer game will someday get the rbr treatment,

I still have the hard copy (CD-ROM) for this game on my shelf lol

You can play this game with a wheel and pedals for 30 mins, go outside to a massive snowstorm and slide your daily driver around in the snow and your brain will literally think its still in the game.

I still like Sega Rally better.

I remember playing this and taking months to achieve gold on every rally race. The tutorial alone was a daunting challenge.

RBR rules!!!

Last time I was playing this game in 2014, about 10 years ago, because there was Dirt, and Dirt 2 coming out and after countless of hours in Dirt game I decided to go back in old roots and install RBR... And oh man o man, I was speechless.. when we talking about car physics, it's like night and day comparing to Dirt rally, RBR is soooo much better, you can actually feel the car weight, feel the car when you slide in to corners, it's unbelievable, no modern game can't compete to RBR physics

Well this was a blast from the past. I remember how good the physics were for it's time in combination with realistically narrow roads made this game very challenging but rewarding when you got it right. But what you didn't touch on and what stood out to me most about this game was the surround sound implementation. Not a single game I have ever played before or since has come within a country mile of doing it as well as this game did!!!. I remember driving a stage one time and couldn't work out why I was suddenly getting so much engine/exhaust and wind noise from my right rear speaker. It wasn't until I'd finished the stage and was watching the replay that I realised that at one point I had clipped a tree and it had plucked my right rear door off and that was where all the noise was coming from! Also suspension squeaks and bumps coming from each individual corner of the car really made you feel like you where right there in the middle of it. Was absolutely epic sound design!!

Sorry man but I just couldn’t help but cringe watching this and hearing 5cyl sound coming out of a 4cyl car 😂

Crazy impressive! What do you play on? No way you’re driving with a controller?

Imagine if wrc or dirt rally has this level of mods it will be the best rally game ever

guys which is the most realistic rally game?

you pronounce eero piutiainen EE RO PIUTI AI NEN

i love this game because of the soundtrack and because as a simracer you can drive ANY CAR ANY STAGE WHENEVERTIME but i hate it because i suck at it🤣

RBR is free... only if you have an ultimate sim wheel that only plays games that are more """realistic""" and puts """realism""" above anything else and be a complete snob cuz "that what real men play we don't play play games" seriously I really want to play this game but the community and sim elitists simply makes me stay way far from it.

It runs amazing even on my Celeron N4000 laptop.

When i have my sim rig built I'm definitely trying this out

Quick question to all: Is it the video essay aspect of this you like or do you want more RBR gameplay? Thank you all for watching, this is my first video to ever get more than 1,000 views!

I just got into RBR and I definitely see why everyone spoke so highly of it all these years. Makes me feel silly for waiting this long to try

One mistake Dirt rally and WRC players make when they try rbr is they play it like a game which rbr certantly isnt. Its a simulator and it needs to be driven like one

it is the best

I also love RBR but "20 yrs still on top" is a misleading... This RBR has almost nothing related to the game which was relased 20 years ago. - FMOD replaced the original bad quality audio engine - NGP v7 is the phisics now - all the stages nade by nodders which based on real tracks and looks pretty realistic - all cars which used nowdays also added by talent modders - GUI, menu, FFB also modded - Graphics also tweaked, triple monitor, wide screen support etc.

Should be on Steam though

Another cool thing about this is how controller friendly it is. Sure, it's at its best when you got a fancy sim rig, but it's got some simple yet very useful filters which make the game quite playable. Even if you only have a keyboard it has filters for that too, and on the Discord there's plugins for using the mouse to steer. The only real barrier for entry is the install size and the very high difficulty of learning the driving physics starting out.

Yeah, it's going to take much more than pretty graphics to dethrone RBR.

This game, no, *sim* just keeps getting better and better.

Deserves more attention

Open hair pin, wow!! 7:50

How far ahead are the commands?

Where's the steering?!

I like these wider shots! Helps with perspective for us spectators. Nice OFF at 5:50!!!

What sounds like "titans"?

Bud, you are killa!

Very nice

Those steel beasts TC voice lines though.
