Dakar 18 - The Game

[ChaosZeroJK]

There is loads of videos on youtube , people posted them before in these threads .

No there aren't.
All there is in video form is the "gameplay" trailer which has 0 actual gameplay but more prerendered cutscenes.

Is this a running gag? The preview shots are clearly rendered, yet RD is praising like crazy since the rendered trailer.

 

[tlsmikey]

Agree. This game should have some video by now and the fact that nothing other than rendered art is showing up is concerning.

Those are 100% NOT ingame screenshots

Where in the OP does it state these are in game screenshots? I thought we were looking at the vehicle classes?

In the previous hype thread,Sure its another thread but the setting for the renders is just the same.

I cant see that the game warrants any of the spin being applied.....

....Now if it were wreckfest I could understand it...

I believe no one has said to you, personally, that these aren't real in-game shots but they referring to those "graphic looks phenomenal, wow" statements.
And, yes, they aren't. So, yes, graphic looks phenomenal ...on a paper.

Is this game going to have wheel support?

Before anyone becomes too euphoric please look at this gameplay from the official 2018 Dakar mobile game. And of course - this is just a mobile game but games like Assoluto Racing or Real Racing 3 have shown that mobiles games at least do not have to look like crap.

They aim to have it. Hopefully 'any' gaming device will work, not just the 'chosen' ones.

 

[Petaitor]

glad to hear it, thank you! ^-^

We've been waiting a while and now it's here, the very first in game screenshot from the upcoming DAKAR 18 game!

Taken during sunset conditions out on the stages between Pisco and Marcona in Peru, this first WIP screenshot of DAKAR 18 comes as something of a surprise considering the developers wished to hold back in game footage until at least March, and goes some way to assuring fans that it appears the new DAKAR Rally title will be nothing if not a looker when it releases later this year.

We at RaceDepartment are curious to see what new developers Blue Moon Studios have in store for DAKAR 18, and we think the best way to find out what the plans are is simple - ask! So with that in mind, over the next day or two I'll be in touch with the devs to pose a bunch of questions about the future for this title and development team. If you want us to ask anything on your behalf, be sure to leave your questions in the comments to this article, or in the comments HERE.

Be quick, I'll be talking to them very, very soon..!

DAKAR 18 is scheduled to release 2018 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

To keep in touch with all the latest news from this simulation, and to share the excitement with your fellow fans of the great event, be sure to check out the brand new Dakar 18 sub forum right here at RaceDepartment.com!

Looking forward to DAKAR 18? What do you think of the first in game shot? Let us know in the comments section below!

 

[FeltHat]

noooooooo
sun shots are the worst kind of screenshots u can take, its pretty but cant really see anything

 

[mantasisg]

Not true, blur screenshots are the worst for observing graphics.

But that one is close to that... I look at some stuff, and I am not sure what I am looking at.

 

[farjam]

what's this supposed to mean?
what it can show to us? that they are afraid of showing us some informative in-game screenshot so they decide to show us the most uninformative scene? ok, they are the devs and they like to keep their project secret to the release date,it's their right! but a sunset screenshot ! it could be nice if the game was a walking/sightseeing simulator
after reading the title i thought cool i'll see some in-game screenshots containing/showing cars [in action! not at something like a showroom] and roads's graphic quality...
not showing a sunset screenshot to us as a in-game screenshot of a "racing game" would be the best strategy ,it's like trolling, i was not optimistic about it , and now i have more doubts about its real quality

P.s i'm not so serious and i'll buy it anyway , i like to support every devs who make racing games or sims

 

[gamer19]

Realistic physic, obviously.

 

[Andrew Harper]

You are a tough crowd...

I got a magnifying glass out and I can see a bike....honest!

 

[Warren Schembri]

Never thought possible but I am seeing a lot and nothing at the same time

 

[Case_]

Setting sun and stars in the sky at the same time...they're obviously going for the realism factor

 

[Knoxstar]

Paul, I'd like to know if there will be a demo for us or at least for RD and others to give us some idea what the physics and graphics will be like?

Also are they developing this as a sim, an arcade or some of both?
