DiRT Rally 2.0 Episode 2 of the DiRT Rally 2.0 Insight Series is Here

[Paul Jeffrey]

DiRT Rally 2.0 is certainly a very interesting and exciting project from Codemasters, and to keep us all in the loop before release, we get another "Insight Series" episode to enjoy.

Not exactly the most detailed or long lasting video in the vast expanses of the internet, nevertheless the new insight episode from DiRT 2.0 developers Codemasters is still a welcome release and does a decent job of sharing with the community the motivation behind this promising new rally game.

It'll be 2019 before we know it folks...

DiRT Rally 2.0 will release February 26th 2019.

Still excited for DiRT Rally 2.0?

Still excited for Dirt Rally 2 as I still fire up DR 1 on a regular basis, but mainly do the Rallying side of things and love the long winding Gravel stages, did someone say 'Scandinavian Flick' ....so hopefully CM can improve on the Tarmac feeling for DR2 and It will be a purchase from me.

 

[Ole Andreasen]

Oh yes I am excited for DR2.0.

This will be another thread I don´t know if I dare follow. But I keep my fingers crossed and my hopes high, for a clean and sober thread.

Ima mess that up right nao: NoXnObUy!

Seriously though, get some triple screen support in there, lads.
Im out!

I hardly play Dirt rally now, The tarmac physics are awful, It feels good on the loose stuff but my immersion is lost when i have to stick to one surface that i enjoy. I much prefer the RX content in Pcars2, To me they have really nailed the Tarmac to loose physics and i really enjoy it. If Dirt rally 2 can get as good as this i might consider it but i am not holding my breath as its Codemasters!

Jon Armstrong and Ryan Champion have done a really good job with the physics for 2.0. This is going to be one fun, challenging rally game!

 

[Koen Verlinde]

Following this game's development, but it ain't on my wishlist yet.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

yummie, tire choices. if this works as it should, it should bring one of the most important tactics factors into play, witness loeb's chocice of hards this morning in spain while everyone else took softs. he gained 15 secs on the rest and now leads the rally, old fox.

 

[andreasanfra]

It's a good update of the first episode. 2.0 it's the right name, not 2.

From what I've tested they got rid of the biggest issues on tarmac. Don't expect it to feel as the greatest sealed surface sims, but much better than DR and D4 on tarmac.

 

[KittX]

I hope they revisit post-process effects. DR post processing was way better. And D4 too. People used to blame D4 for very sharp picture, but this time they IMO gone too far with emulating a bad lens.

D4's tarmac physics are very good. If they can keep this I'm happy, and get the gravel physics from Dirt Rally back or an upgrade on this.

But the tarmac surface in d4 seemed to be butter smooth, some mesh noise applied and translated into ffb would be great.

I don't agree that it was very good. Slightly better than DR I would say, but mainly because the FFB felt tighter than in DR. You could still feel the weird central pivoting issue in D4.

Very strongly disagree. The physics and car weight on tarmac are spot on in D4 IMO and not at all comparable to the tarmac physics in DR.

That's because there is only one tarmac rally and that's Catalunya where the roads are wide and smooth. The stages are realistic, just watch some onboards from the last WRC round.

Well, if you think tarmac in D4 was spot on I guess you will be disappointed with the new game as it doesn't feel like D4 on tarmac.
Just like in Dirt Rally you had a rear end that wasn't actually following the front end of the car while cornering without any actual wheel slip.
