    5:16 - The 600+km is *unique* roads, so *before* they get split into shorter/reverse stages and such. Also, multiply that by about 4, because most are playable in all 4 seasons.

    8:54 RBR vs EA WRC is ultimately the same argument as something like F1 cars on AC vs the F1 games. One is about muh super ultra realistic handling while the other will actually have the thing basically no modern sim has aka an actual gameplay loop for you to come back to (because no matter how good muh physics are you need *something* to tie the thing together) in the form of a fleshed out career mode. That or being able to run a full championship with the cars, drivers, tracks and etc just like the real thing.

    • @ztarzcream
      @ztarzcream Před 8 měsíci +17

      It's so frustrating. Especially since a game with realistic physics and a great game loop is within reach. It's so close, but noone is making it happen. Since discovering RBR, I just can't go back to the physics of Dirt 2.0, but now I don't have a career mode. And the career mode in Dirt 2.0 was still very bare bones. A dream game would be something like the career mode of Gran Turismo and the physics of AC with gravel added.

I think we will just have to keep dreaming of the day it happens

    You and me both - DR2 lived up to the hype for me, but this having about 4x the number of unique KMs and a complete focus on rally (no RX or hillclimb) is incredibly exciting. Having new classics like the Hillman Avenger, Talbot Sunbeam and Mitsubishi Gallant is just as cool as the modern kit to me.
    I've been excited by AMS2 development and where other games may go, but this is the first one I've just been hyped for on day 1.
    Lovely video and look forward to the game and your take on it in just over a month. One note on the video; it will still be some long stages split up as per DR2, just there's average 35km per location instead of the ~23km from DR2.
    The 'extra' locations look like they'll be Corsica, Spain, Norway and then two from New Zealand, Australia or Indonesia.
    Really excited about seasons in a 'career' mode, if it means you get a varied calendar each in-game 'year'. Apparently it'll be available for 16 of the 18 locations (not Sweden or Norway).

  • @bensoniusprime
    @bensoniusprime Před 8 měsíci +34

    The WRC series had stage design that was so superior to Dirt Rally 2.0.
    DR had better physics, VR, and rallycross, but the rally stages were really generic beyond the level of detail present in the different countries.
    Spain was different from Finland, but I’d be hard pressed to differentiate one Spain stage from another, whereas each stage from Spain in WRC would have some unique landmark, conditions, and strategy.
    WRC also had the mini game of team management and a progressive upgrade system. Not to say that I always love this, but it gave a better sense of progression and “career” than DR 2.0, which is something to consider when you’re playing what amounts to a single-player game apart from rallycross.
    A sense of place and unique conditions are what rally is all about.
    Really hoping they can nail the stage/location design and fun game modes in addition to surpassing DR 2.0 physics and gameplay (wheel + VR) support.
    Rally is my favorite discipline and I am hoping for the best!

    • @martsum398

      We'll see how good these new stages are, but they're all based on real roads so how can you say that's bad? We'll be getting 25km+ of the actual El Chocolate stage in Mexico for example in the new WRC game, KT stages were fake... people complaining about REAL roads being poor stages are a bit odd. They just picked average stages which were very flat for the most part and roads were too wide. New WRC looks narrower and has a better colour palette.
      I'd rather real roads and famous stages, thanks! Codies were just severely hampered by what they could use previously due to not having the WRC license.

    I am as well. Wasn't really into WRC titles in Milestone/Kylotonn era, but decided to give WRC Generations a chance when it was on sale and had quite a decent fun with it. Dirt Rally 2.0 is amazing imho and what I have seen in materials that EA has released this WRC title might be the best rally game ever. That is why I did what I don't usually do and have pre-ordered the game on steam, with 10% off for owning a Dirt Rally 2.0 as a nice gesture.
    In WRC Generations locations never felt really like the real deal, especially Rally Croatia since I know the roads considering I am from Croatia. So seeing EA/Codemasters putting effort in to recreate real life locations is something that really hypes me on.

    @TamiyaGuy123 Před 8 měsíci

    You absolutely hit the nail on the head right in your intro: "[Dirt Rally 1 and 2.0 are] a fantastic love letter to rally", and it's a sentiment that I really hope has carried forward into the new game. Physics 'realism' completely aside, DR2.0 captured the *feel* of rallying (lack of stages aside), of belting through hostile environments against the clock, of recognising when to push and when to conserve the car. It had a really interesting car list, giving respect to some of the smaller, more amateur and historical rally cars out there.
    And just looking at the car list, WRC seems to be following suit - that passion and interest seems to be showing through. I mean put it this way: I highly doubt that a suited EA executive would've been pushing for a *Vauxhall Nova privateer rally car.* Some massive nerd wanted that in the game for whatever bizarre reason, and they pushed for it and were given the resources to get it in the game. I just love that idea.
    Great video, also included some info that I wasn't privvy to up until now - the Central European rally sounds really interesting as well!

    I agree with you on the stages driven by pace notes. Now when it comes to realism nowdays they run same stage usually two times. Drivers have also said that today they drive a lot from memory and it is a memory game also if you wanna be fast. So on that sense, in career mode, i would love to see stages for a certain rally to be droven two times (the stages are chosen from a bigger pool of stages). So the stage pool can be big but in this one occasion stages would be example: 1,3 ,4, 6 each driven two times. Next season same rally could have different stages as it is in real life. There are new stages but also classic ones.
    Just my two cents

      1. The game will have 78 cars in total (not including the fictional body shells for "Builder Mode")
      2. The stages from the 5 additional locations will be stages that were used during a WRC event in the past. It'll be Norway, Spain, Indonesia, New Zealand and Corsica. New Zealand is not yet 100% confirmed but I know it'll be there.
      3. The over 600km of roads will all be unique kilometres.
      4. Several locations will have one very very long stage that is 30+km in length.
      5. You'll be able to run all locations except for the ones with snow in four season. Not sure if Kenya will be snow in winter or if it becomes extreme wet (monsoon type of conditions). That's something we need to wait for.
      6. Wasn't clear in your explanation but dynamic weather will be a feature as well. Start in dry conditions but finish in a downpour or start at dusk and finish in complete darkness.
      I do release videos with all the information about the game each time big news elements go public for it, in case you are interested.
      Ooooh just wanted to add some extra clarity on the Toyota situation as it's quite important. I know the vast majority is complaining about Codies not putting any classic Toyotas in their games such as the Celica or Corolla. However, that's not necessarily Codies fault. Toyota is very difficult to negotiate with when it comes to licensing their cars. They demand the cars to be represented in a certain way which would appear somewhat unreasonable. That's why so few games have officially licensed Toyotas. Codies could possibly license a handfull other cars and have more freedom with it instead of going for one single Toyota.
      Then there's the relationship between Toyota and Codies which went badly sideways over a decade ago for some reason. There's not much information released as to the reason why but it had to do with licensing terms not being followed or something way back then.
      That's why there's pretty much no chance of having Toyotas in a Codies game apart from the ones that fall under the offcial WRC license (i.e. Toyota Yaris Rally1).

    Mediterraneo (Tour de Corse!)
    Pacifico (Indonesia)
    and Oceania (NZ or Aus)
    Also, the time of year thing won’t be open to the two permanent snow events (Rally Sweden and Rally Scandia) as modelling the environments with and without the snowbanks will likely be a bit of a stretch at this time.
    I’m looking forward to the S1600s, S2000s and the extra F2 Kit Cars. Chile and Corsica (if it does turn out to be Corsica) are probably my two most anticipated locations. But I’m also looking forward to seeing what they’ve changed, if anything, of the locations already in the DR games - Monte, Spain, Greece, Finland, NZ/Aus.
    From the most recent video from EA we can already see that the Col de Turini will be used as it more recently is in WRC, going right then right again instead of right then left at the top of the col. Also from the map of the Spain stage I’m pretty sure that’s a new stage this time around.

    My biggest problem with Dirt was, that you were not able to customize the pacenotes. This is why I prefer RBR . Some notes were completely wrong. The career was also faulty. After a certain progression threshold you couldn't keep up with the AI anymore, because they set unrealistic times.

    I'm definitely gonna be biased here, having marshalled rally there and all that jazz but I also miss it from Dirt 2 (not Rally but the now decade old game). Morocco! Granted, stages in Dirt 2 were a bit bland and really look watered down with graphics we have nowadays. But there's a number of rallies, especially classic ones, which run in the Atlas mountains, especially in that Essaouira-Marrakesh-Rabat triangle, perhaps extending to Ouarzazate again like in Dirt 2 and the Rif mountains near Tangier, although the latter is more popular with Rally Raids.

    A few things to add. The 5 bonus locations (based on a combination of rumours and screengrabs from official sources) are likely Spain, Corsica (France), New Zealand (small chance it's Australia), Indonesia, and Norway. That's two tarmac (Spain and Corsica), two dirt (New Zealand and Indonesia) and one snow (Norway), Though I'm unsure how seasons will effect the snow rallies other than Monte Carlo, which is technically not a snow rally but a tarmac rally.
    Game will have dynamic weather and progressive surface degradation. Progressive surface degradation was in 2.0, but it wasn't completely granular. In WRC, if you go second, there will be 1 car's worth of degradation on the course. If you go 9th, there will be 8. Etc. Weather can possibly change mid-stage.
    On the topic of damage, when talking about hardcore damage (which will be present) in WRC, the devs said it will have both mechanical and structural damage "within the specifications that the manufacturers gave us". Reading between the lines, I think that means that hardcore damage will be as realistic as the manufacturers were willing to allow in their licensing deals. Honestly, I get it from the perspective of the manufacturers. Hardcore rally fans will understand how even a slight impact can end a rally, but to the casual or new fan, it could have a severely negative impact on brand image. And if I'm being even more honest, Dirt Rally 2.0 in the modes that allow hardcore damage to be turned on is probably about exactly right for my skill level.

    I'm very much looking forward to it, I've loved DR1 and DR2.0 for years, and I just didn't find KT's WRC entries or modded RBR to be anywhere near as enjoyable. Codies games strike the right balance for me of fun but challenging driving with immersive visuals and sound. I think you're right to be 'hype adverse', though. It's better to have a neutral outlook and then be pleasantly surprised than be hyped and be disappointed.
    Speaking of RBR, I really, really tried to get into it back in the NGP4 days, but I felt that it was excessively slippery, so I stopped playing it. When I found out that they made NGP5 grippier, I felt not only very vindicated in my opinion of 4, but also quite disillusioned from all the hype about how realistic modded RBR was supposed to be. I also think that while there is some quite good modded content for it, there's also a lot of crap that looks absolutely hideous and is far below the quality of the vanilla game's content. I understand the appeal of RBR but it just isn't for me.
