- I take a look at the latest WRC game, a really surprisingly good game featuring the new hybrid rally cars and a whole host of classic machines. Most importantly though of course cars can roll over.

That special stage WAS run in real life on the streets, I have seen it live and it was insane, you could get close to the cars, I met Ari Vatanen, saw Ken Block crash in front of me, and it was a really fun layout on the site of the old F1 street course. Aaaand then it was scrapped for no reason.
I come from dirt rally and 2.0, this is my 1st WRC game. The car detail is amazing! The stages and graphics are great! The draw distance and view distance can use a little bit of work, but the game plays great. I love it so far. As far as FPS, dirt is definitely cleaner.
I’m running a Ryzen 5 5600x in a RTX3070 and everything is on very high. I’m getting 75-90 FPS
It does seem like quite the good farewell to Kylotonn, they have done some great WRC games and the improvement was always there, curious to see what codemasters will do with it but nervous at the same time.
Dirt Rally 2.0 it's still the best, i'm sure they will do a good job
@@oteupai.2841 that was made before the ea takeover and old staff leaving though
@@oteupai.2841- 1 year later and the first attempt of Codemasters fell short of expectations. The biggest mistake they made was switch to Unreal Engine 4 for EA WRC and the performance is all over the place. Not to mention the graphics are quite a significant downgrade from their in-house engine. Sure, the stages are much longer than Dirt Rally 2.0. But WRC Generations stages were close to the current stages of EA WRC and even WRC Generations still looks better and runs much smoother than what Unreal Engine 4 could give. Why Codemasters didn't use UE5 if they had to switch to unreal is beyond me.
no one seems to have noticed but if you hold the brake at the start you get launch control. holding the handbrake just revs the engine to death
The problem is, that ISN'T how rally drivers launch the line bro. You're meant to throttle on e-brake right before launch
Never played a WRC game before, and got this yesterday also, since today was very impressed. Handling setting a less sensitive, and its perfect
I tried WRC 10 but didn't like it, this one seems much better.
i uninstalled it just before 2 hours and asked for a refund, it sucks, poor optimization, the in game wheel just moves 10 degrees and physics are nothing special
i gave it a try after not liking WRC games. i'm glad i did. works perfect with my tgt this time. physics are great , need to dial in the ffb but after a few tweaks it's already pretty decent.
i'm just sending it constantly . with realistic settings , permacrash on , only difficulty i left it on 100 but i'm constantly 1st with lots of time ahead lol should have made it more difficult for myself
look at the AI at the start of ypres rally (i think dikkebus or zonnebeke) it just drives into the barrier instead of making the turn
I love your channel, Alex, and also love how the Englishman in you invent new words!
I get you on the Corolla, I used to love picking it on V-Rally 1! Either that, the Saxo or the 306
Or if you want to go a bit further back, try the '60s Mini Cooper. Been driving it on DR 2.0, it's a great car to drive. So is the 240Z.
@@bury_the_elite65294 bmw m3 for me
V-Rally 2 and the 206 is where it's at :) Shame I didn't see the recognizable Ford Focus that Colin McRae drove. Oh well, at least we got the blue-livery OG Subaru Impreza.
Soooooo what's up with Negrobob on 4:26?
Does this look a little framey to y'all or is the caffeine effecting my eyes again?
edit - Alex did mention later in the video that the recording software was a having a fit and not the game itself
There are micro stutters all over the video, so yes, you are correct.
looks awfull
Yeah it’s pretty choppy
This game is blowing my mind. The Monte Carlo rally is awesome, the weather change is amazing now. It can go from snow to rain depending on the altitude. Sound is really god this time. Only thing bothering me is the handbraking, is harder or not so fluid, some graphical issues and the skoda sound is terrible right now, somethin is off. Sadly is a little too late that they finally made a awesome game.
Why too late?
@@PuncakeLena cuz the license is going to Codemasters.
@@Werferharfer Hmm I see. Not sure that's the best decision
@@PuncakeLena playing WRC generations and knowing that the license is going away feels a little disappointed , but if the Codemasters as at least as good as Dirt Rally than is good for me.
well better that its codemasters it could of went to ubisoft.... haha.... that be about a bitch lol....
I'm guessing that this is the roll-out game from the current devs before Codemasters get the licence. I hope that they put some mods during the lifespan of this game, like adding more cars like the Fiat Arbath 131, Henri Toivonen's Talbot Lotus Sunbeam, Tony Pond's Triumph TR7 with the Rover V8 engine or any of the MkI and MkII Escorts. Should that happen, I reckon Rally Buddha would be happy.
They have said no content is being added after release
what do you mean?
The Fiat Abarth 131 and the MKII Escort are in this game 🙂 as well as a few other pretty cool historic cars
I've tried "that" version. Was so impressed that I just bought it. I like WRC games because when I'm lazy to set my wheel, I can just use gamepad with triggers and have a blast. Plus that feel of having your own team. Also, am not optimistic for Codemasters, especially since they are part of the EA. This WRC Generations will be a very good purchase future wise.
Shoot! EA will turn WRC into a arcade crap...
@@Do.Christnothing wrong with arcade games 🫥 but ea though...
Quick question: Does it have the stadium super special stage in Greece? Anyway this seems like a really good rally game, worth picking up.
Interesting game. Deep down, I always yearn to play a Rally game.
I had zero interest in rally in general and I always preferred the forza style games but when I tried wrc 8 for the first time it was mind blowing. 100x more fun than racing games. I'm hooked now and haven't touched forza in a long time haha
@@BWTECH0521again, forza is streer racing. Dirt rally and wrc are both rally racing meaning off road. You cant compare dirt racing to street racing.
to day i made a emil lindholm wrc 2 livery, but i can not get it on my car in carrer, tells me saving error..any tips? it took me some hours to make
You sound a lot like Total Biscuit (RIP) 😊 the voice and way of speaking is just like him
Cool voice to listen to and awesome video 👍
Damn, the concept of having an entire HQ you can navigate through is pretty good
It's There Since WRC9 i Think, And It Looks the Same, So It's Just Copy-Paste Asset.
@@interpl6089just like the sports games like gay madden and boring bazketball
honestly even though its not perfect i love it
Not a bad game by any means, maybe even their best...HOWEVER.
If you like the Dirt Rally games you'll like this, if you find them frustrating, stick to WRC 10, which is more like the old-school Colin McRae games, i.e fun!
*Edit - Don't know if an update changed the handling but classics like the Alpine and Stratos seem like their old WRC 10 selves without any setup? I think they might have toned down the body roll?*
yes that is what i think the same i play the dirt 4 and dirt rally 2.0 and that has a Porsches 911 and that is more better and dirt 4 aswell i dont like this new game it seems like they have not put more effort into the cars there the same cars from other games colin McCrae rally and colin McCrae rally 2.0 wrc 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and the ones on the ps4 is just the same tracks and same cars no different and same training aswell i want be buying this game unless they out more cars and different tracks and all of that im going to buy the gran turismo 7 soon and play that has more better cars tracks.
The physics engine is drastically different from dirt rally
I'd more liken the WRC games to dirt 3 and dirt 2
In dirt rally 2 can take a corner without having the rear step out
The way the WRC games physics engine works the rear kinda steps out automatically no matter how careful you are
But does either have a racing line? I find it difficult to keep up with the pacenotes, it's splitting my attention too much. Either I get the pacenote but fuck up the corner, or don't get it but get the corner somewhat right
This looks good, but I'd love to see another video on the Dakar game
Agreed, especially since Dakar's recent update, which seems to have fixed the crashing issues I was having on my PS4. Not sure if XB1 or PC had the same issues?
the handling models are shit unless you're driving a truck. Dakar 18 had exactly the same issue, even after months of updates. instant wait-for-a-deep-sale
It's fantastic, the new handling is superb to play. But be aware: the default car set-ups are NOT ideal at all. Tarmac is way, way too loose, causing nowhere near enough grip.
Stiffen up springs to 90,000 (or 70,000 front, 90,000 rear if you need more over-steer) shock compression and rebound both to max (to the right), lower ride height to 13 or 14, stiffen anti-roll to 10 for the front and 12 for the rear (to get a bit of oversteer for corners).
For gravel you want the inverse.
There's a guide here at:

That Portugal rally was in wrc10
Played every WRC game since WRC 5 and when WRC 7 came something happened to the physics. At first I couldn't handle it so after a couple of hours I gave up, deciding they had ruined the game. Somehow I gave it another go and it just clicked when I started to be more sensitive with the gauges. Like wow. In my opinion the best and most challenging car games ever made. Love the physics, the stages are hands down the best ever made, nothing even comes close. Started Generations yesterday and was a bit different for the first hour but then after tuning the controller and giving it a change it grew on me, career mode in Sweden is scary close to how it is in real life especially night stages. The snow walls are insanely well done. For me it's a bad, bad thing the license goes to Codemasters now, loved these games. Never liked Dirt 2. Really hope this will turn out good but for me it's going to be hard to top these games.
Totally agree with you dude!
Disagree. Dirt Rally is very good game, sounds and handling is above average. Wrc has bad sounds and floating physics. Ridiculous.
Totally agree, I really like the WRC games, especially this last entry.
@@MrGulyo absolutely..but they will never understand that, cause they don't own a t300 RS weel
@@filipealves7755 I play both on a wheel (g29), and frankly I enjoy WRC more. Understand that this is a subjective matter, not an objective one
I went into this video hopping to be persuaded to buy it, due to the name and my fascination with classic rally cars.
Regrettably though it seems the only thing I'd gain from picking this up would be being able to drive the Corolla and the Xsara, the latter being close to my heart from playing Colin McRae 04 as a kid. The graphics are fine, but the sound design doesn't pump the heart like DiRT Rally 2.0s has been doing for me since release day.
Curious and nervous to see what will happen now EA has its hooks into codemasters.. I'm hoping for a mixture of CM's graphics and sound design and.WRCs car licences / country selection, but only time will tell.
That was a big issue with the game for myself personally. Needing a account just to use the livery editor however they have fixed it to make it easier to make a account in order to use it.
for me this game is best of all they have made! Finally all new features are supported as Nvidia Ai etc...!
I have WRC 9&10 & DiRT 1&2 is it worth getting this one to?
probably not.
I have bought ever rally game released. This is a very nice upgrade from previous games. I highly recommend it.
LOL
"You can customize all these car settings. But I we will not be touching that. Because it will break it."
Paraphrased, but I legit have the same fears. And yet I know that this is the biggest hurdle for me to get over. Understanding how to tweak all these settings on the car like suspension and brake bias. No clue how to properly use them. And the descriptions of what they do sometimes makes me feel its giving you somehting while taking away something else. But I dont understand when it would be beneficial to do either. lol
Still get decent stage times. But I know I am losing the potential of shaving a few seconds off my stage times if I understood how all this stuff worked.
i think this is the earliest ive seen a video in a long while
why no VR support still ? this would be awesome stages to look at in VR
Played the 8, horrible handling. Read all I need before bought this Generations, convinced then bought it. MASSIVE HANDLING AND PHYSIQUE IMPROVEMENT, except the dumb af handbrake that's almost non existent still. But it's been fun so far :D
I love this game on ps4 and also got caught by surprise when suddenly racing between houses.😁 But getting a account to make liveries?! NO just no!! You know what will happen when the server goes offline. And it will go offline soon when people are returning EA WRC to the store. Most of the time I drive rally for fun offline and telling the game 3 times in a row that I am not connected to the internet really pisses me off sometimes. One can only hope they will fix this in a Gran Turismo Sport style end-of-life update when the servers go offline. "Not connected to the internet" click "OK" done.👍🏻
Hey Alex, you said in the video that this is being played on a PC, are you running the game off an HDD or SSD? Those loading times can be quite something. If you respond to this question, thank you in advance.
I personally like WRC series, but I just don,t like the car sounds. I think, that today we can get much better and more realistic gameplay. But over that, I like it.
it seems to me that its easier than WRC10, i started to play on 80% difficulty but it was easy to win any rally, now on 115% much more challenging
is it just me or have they forgot to animate the brake lights?
Brilliant game
I'll probably get it. not really a fan of how the cars kind of float over the track from 3rd person camera. also why the hell is there no road noise on gravel?
6:33 because you don't let go of the throttle before jump...
Been looking for a review like this for generations since the only wrc game i had was wrc8 and it was a nightmare with a gamepad and was practically unplayable since tiny movements from the steering with every setting i tried makes the car unstable each curve.
voice audio is very spotty and tends to trail off. made it hard to for me to understand for half of the video.
just my two cents
6:30 destroyed by famous Fafe jump ;)
6:35....what....the....actual...F... Looked like something directed by Michael Bay. Was there a trampoline below the gravel?
It only works on controller right now. The game won't load with g920 plugged in, and it crashes if I switch from controller to wheel. I hope they fix wheel support.
Seems like wrc 10 1.5 . Had this been a 20-25 USD DLC I may have bought it.
Sound and physics shit again on the first sight. Whateva, lets go continue enjoying rallysimfans RBR
Thats the most famous stage in WRC....its the Fafe stage ..look it up ...last year 200 000 people were at that stage Alone!
I was One of them 💪💪😜
are the roads supposed to be that narrow?? that looks too challenging for my skills
Yep! That's what rally stages are like IRL. You learn :D
@@tenkrow For fun BITD, I used to drive my own MK2 Escort way too fast along some local B roads in the depths of Scotland, maybe it's the perspective that makes it look that way, but I never felt so confined by the edge of the road as it looks in the game.
i got ea wrc on ps5 and i love the physics. screen tearing sucks, the muddy graphics are a bit disappointing, and the occasional crash is infuriating. but it's good enough to play anyway
the other day generations was on sale on both ps5 and pc. decided to grab it on pc
on a 2060 and dlss it's not running great. really muddy as well. physics aren't bad but way more floaty. when i go back to ea wrc i instantly feel how much grip the game has
dirt 2.0 is still installed on my pc and after an hour or so on generations i found myself playing dirt lol
anyway, i don't know what my point is... just wanting the perfect rally game. i want gt7 polish with ea wrc physics
it looks like your driving a boat..
The career mode in this game is what the CM F1 game's MyTeam mode should've been.
I bought a WRC game after DR2 players hyped it, but I thought it was dreadful. Super arcade, nothing like dirt rally. Played for 10 minutes and never again.
Exactly mate ;) Same here
I honestly don't like wrc that much, i'm more into dirt rally 2.0. But this add another content while codemasters deliver some magic. I don't like that each year they basically deliver the same game, the physics is not there, whatever people say, i don't find it believable at all. You had a rollover in portugal, that was bad physics. People seem to confuse physics with tire degradation. Car damage is not there too, everything on realistic...crash into a pole at 150km/h...you can still go...crash your sidecar into anything, no broking wheel, nothing.
Yes, it does have gorgeous tracks, but that's quite it for me.
exactly...
Allways hated how they made wet stages
Road surface looks like ice on it rather then Gravel ate water likendr2.0
I didn’t know this was releasing
The stages have always been fantastic in these games, miles better than and Dirt Rally stages. Will be sad to see these games go
Please fix your recording settings :|
As long as the physics are good on controller. Thats what kills the wrc games for me is that despite the name theres absolutely no control on controller. Otherwise id be playing wrc10 all the time, but thankfully dr2 still reigns supreme
For the algorithm.
Anyone fancies a game of trying to tame land yachting physics it's a must have
nice hybrid, another thing that can break on the already fragile modern rally cars.
Is the hybrid feature installed on cars so they will break faster than older ICE cars? Making them have a shorter lifespan? Are they easy to work on?
Only problem I have with this game is it feels like the game will only read my throttle pedal when I have it between 80-100 so I have to floor it constantly. Have seen others with this problem, annoying because I like the new features from WRC 10.
Dirt Rally 2.0 - tarmac is grippy dirt
WRC series - dirt is grippy tarmac
RBR - true king
Richard Burns Rally you might say?
People Can Say What They Want, But Physics in WRC Games are Just not There Quality-Wise. Dirt 2.0 is More Believable, Tires Pop, Terminal Damage Happens and None of This is Present in WRC, I Never Broke the Car in WRC, Even After 160 Km/h Meet With a Tree. I Also Hate the Fact That They Made the Games Same Year after Year. If (Dirt 3.0?) or Whatever Next Rally Game from Codemasters Will Come Out, I Will buy it More Confidently, Because 2.0 is a Great Game, Beating Anything KT Made in the Past 6 Years....
No 6R4... boooo for them! Or an Opel Manta!
NNNOOOO VVVRRRR NNNNNOOOOO BBBBUUUUYYYYYY...........get it?
... NO I DON'T GET IT.
-AVGN
Personally I think the wrc generations is a good game but the handling on a logitech is utterly useless but I know its not made for a Logie
interesting game but nothing can beat richard burns rally what comes to realism... except beamNG but its not rallygame
Graphics look like early ps4
You must be from another reality.
agreed. the details and the lighting system maybe?
Not having VR support is a big NO for me.
I play on the Xbox Series X and I love to drive from the view of the dashboard only with WRC 10 has graphics like from 10 years ago only slightly smoothed as if someone had stuck a mosquito net and the sound is not to mention just old reheated chops sell to people and they enjoy it shame 2022 and no one has made a desirable rally game yet Graphically, physically and sonically no one for so many years ha ha😂😂😂👍🤪🏎️🎸🎼
Im on PC maxed settings and yea don't worry the game looks bad here to. But yea there really hasn't been a solid rally game in years.
I am actually a little disappointed by this game.
While the selection of cars and events is great, I can't create my own championship as older games could do. Not even single events in the historic section. I.e. I can't run a full Wales Rally GB, only single stages. I can't do a championship with i.e. the Audi Quattro, the Escort RS1800 or Xsara WRC. Why? Or am I doing something wrong?
Might wanna crop that video tho seeing that friends of yours profile name might offend some ppl.
Nah.. let them be offended... its their choice to be so.
@@TheBazzterd true
@@RomeroAnchovy if people get offered by spanish we have problems
@@lochiecrosbie true though there's always that one though.not saying I'm them again was just trying to look out for someone.
Just get a wheel already
Come back to PS3-PS4 😂😂
nice framerate
It's the recording, i'm certain it's not in-game framerate.
These stages slaughter the stages on ea wrc. Ea tracks have always veen dull.
usually enjoy your videos but this is way to laggy, damn it runs shit :D
Slideshow settings! Missed frames everywhere...Graphics look terrible too...
FPS was the recording. Game looks amazing when you're driving, it's not like you stop and look at the scenery.
Is there no Celica GT4? 1/10, sh*t game. :p
You lost me at I'm playing on a controller
I think im first
had to opt out of this vid at the beginning. It doesn't drive really well, it drives like a horses arse sadly
No match for dirt 2.0
honest? i sat thru 17 minutes and you hadnt mentioned adaptive triggers once. fail.
tf is that? 20 fps? thats impossible to watch
No VR, no chance of me choosing this over Dirt 2.0...
That frame-rate would make it unplayable for me.
I'll stick with Gran Turismo 7.
Its a video problem, not the game.
This looks like the same bollocks as the last game only with less to offer. All these guys prove is that they can still steal money off people under false pretences and promises.
You clearly haven't played it 🤣
An HONEST look , so what, do you normally lie ? About HONEST. Wasn't you brought up to be HONEST LOL HAHA...... guess not ha ha ....
