Just so you know, if you setup the driver's seat properly you'll be able to see the gear change lights that are just above the rev counter. I thought this was the only Rally4 to not have a gear chnage loght but guess what, they all have one. But if you don't like the seating position just stay like this I guess

Ahahha I love the dedication to the bit

Great vid..however all yr faults are based on arcade style games.rbr is a sim in everyway.that means if u want to be competitive,u must edit the pacenotes to yr liking.yr given the tools to edit for a reason....ffb has one setting because sim.no canned efects...i did enjoy yr video,very relaxed informative and held my attention....rbr doesn't hold yr hand.

Actually, i thin that rallysimfans rbr looks way better than dirt rally 2 in VR. And ea wrc is just unplayable on VR. And the stages and physics in rbr are just so much better than in any other rally game.

Did you see the new Assetto Corsa Evo?

More GT7!

I find these old school 2000' graphisms with flat lightning charming and cozy, making it pretty in a sense for me. ps: That end with RB got me sad, makes me wanna play it even more, glad it's still played.

The only thing that i wonder is if beamng handling model is realistic, the cars feel so much more unstable, and that makes it fun and challenging, but when i switched to rfs i felt like it was easier,and i wonder if that was how a rally car should handle. Beamng rally stages are harder especially for the damage model, but also for the car behavior. I really wonder what is more realistic.

I am one of those who fell in love with the KT games. I have plenty of hours in DR2 and EA WRC but must of the time I play WRC 8 and 9. I would love to be able to move all the stages from all KT games, Dirt, EA into WRC 8 or 9. That would be my dream game. I love everything about those games (art design, lighting, etc.), yeah the sound is not the best but for me is pretty good.

Good video. Good arguments. After 20 years of racing games under my belt RBR tarmac + FFB is still unbeatable in the game of rallying. That combo is almost as good as on Assetto Corsa which is another very old, unbeatable game. It's strange how the newer titles haven't been able to capture that same road/tyre feel in their force feedback. I mostly play just classic F1 these days and nothing comes close to AC. And believe me, I have TRIED to like Automobilista 2 and rF2. Personally, I never cared for the graphics that much and to me RBR after mods still looks ok. Cheers.

Very good review. Ticks all the boxes.

Did bro just call a celica a chelicha at 10:58? wtfiet

You don't need all of that fancy gear to be fast. I have had a wheel setup back some years ago and I noticed something: when you don't have the space, or the right setup to have a wheel, just don't buy one, it will give you nightmares, you will drive worse and start hating racing. My desk is pretty thin, and I had a DFGT, which is definitely one of the weakest force feedback wheels out there (and my desk was bending), plus I had to spend 10 minutes for mounting everything and still being frustrated because the experience was not immersive, so I left SimRacing. About one year later, after having sold my old wheel, I decided to try again to race, but using an x360 pad to check out how the experience was and, surprisingly, I was having fun. You know what happens when the setup is right and you have fun? You go faster than with better gear, because you feel more comfortable with that. I'm still racing, still having fun, and actually more competitive than before (I've achieved quite some podiums and one win on LFM, and debuted in a simracing porsche cup). So why am I writing all of this? Basically, if you have good gear, but which makes you feel frustrated, you could be faster with worse gear that doesn't. And DISCLAIMER, if you're reading this comment, in this video, you probably don't have enough money or space to get a full SimRacing setup, so, if you do, don't be silly and respect other people's opinions and choices. Please, if you're passionate about motorsport and simracing, just buy a sim and race, learn how to stay on track, how the game makes you feel, no matter which gear you have, just have fun, race, and be respectful on track. Oh, and plus, if you want a truly immersive pad sim, just go with RFactor 2, it's so detailed, you can really feel everything even on the pad

Man, my brain would get so confused with all the white on the track. Aside from that, some nice cuts and a fair amount of speed. I like how you recovered from that off-track next to the van, really quick with it!

this game direly needs somethiing similar to custom shaders patch for cm on assetto i.e more lighting and particle effects

started racing in TrackMania Nations Forever, now playing BeamNG

Never argue with a fool. They will bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.

The monologue on Richard near the end gave me chills, damn.

You forgot the other type of steering with a controller, motion/gyro steering. With this you use the full controller as a steering wheel tilting it to the left/right to steer also doesn’t cost an arm and leg as you can get this with a simple DualShock 4 controller or better yet (notable with Gran Turismo 7) the dual sense with its haptic feedback and adaptive trigger allowing you to feel the traction of your tires through the controller

I love the slower cars, it helps you get a feel for some of the tracks in WRC as well as driving the different drive types so that you get used to the handling.

I like the bonnet cam. When I used to drive real cars I didn't really spend time looking at the speedometer, handbrake or the pedals as you learn where they are and it sticks with you even when you are driving different cars. I find the animations and all the other stuff going on in the cockpit distracting and I just want to hear the pace notes. Great video, full of useful tips and I might even consider going to the cockpit view as I'm still experimenting with the game.

These little FWD cars are so much fun to throw around corners!

Nice video. Would also add that you can tinker a fair bit using Steam controller setup as well besides the ingame settings. I went from using a wheel for many years back to a controller and race ACC in that. Very doable and fun. You just reminded me toinstall Dirt Rally 2.0 again. Haven't played that in a long time . Would also give a shout out for Wreckfest, very accessible and really nice physics that definetely border more on the sim side. And if you crash it's not a problem.

Some people just use chase camera because they like their car and want to look at it. There is certainly space for all of cameras, even within one game. I use interior and chase, more rarely bonnet cameras depending on what do I want to do. There is no end all-be all, all have their uses, and you don't have to stick to just one.

personally sometimes i like playing in chase cam, but that's only when i'm just doing things for the shits and giggles and would like to see how the car reacts to the shenanigans i'm doing from the outside

The answer is Raceroom: No nonsense. Open the game, pick your mode, car, track, and race. Graphics are good enough, runs smoothly on Steam Deck with low battery drain. Top-notch physics. Third-person camera is excellent. Controller support is phenomenal. Seriously, other sim developers should take notes. I own a wheel, but I prefer a controller. When someone says you must use a wheel for sims, I picture a socially challenged nerd. Good controller support is respect for the consumer. You only buy what you want to play, and there are sales. Sound design is outstanding. Tracks are well-made. Adaptive AI is VERY solid. In short, best sim out there. The only downside: you need to be online.

RBR looks about as good as iRacing in the graphics department lol

This is a great video, it's just kinda funny that it cameout around the time the RSF team started announcing their goal to clean up the graphics/purge some of the ugly stages from the game (Which they should definitely). I still think the immersion of RBR is great no matter the car/track (though this does go slightly down with really old snow stages, they look like HL1 engine full bright maps) because the sounds and the sense of speed you get (especially on triples) is unmatched and it's both terrifying and exhilarating. Long rallies especially really feel like you are in an event, where just surviving feels like a win (unless you're some Finnish Alien who is flying through stages, those guys are gods). I do agree though that setting the game up is a nightmare but when you realize how personal an actual rally drive/codriver team it is, it kinda makes sense. Not only are there different languages in a rally but also the same language can have different calls. I think they should definitely add in a PDF file though how to properly find these pacenote packs and voice packs, since they are actually really important but a lot of info on RBR is buried under a huge discord (it also doesn't help that, at least in my opinion, a lot of the guys on the RSF discord come off as incredibly snobbish and rude at times). The configuration for the controls is definitely annoying especially when considering that if you use an Hpattern shifter you need to properly configure a whole different plugin that ISN'T in the control menu to make sure it works and not conflict with anything else, and the FFB is a bit weird to setup but it makes sense if you think about it. I think that RBR will probably not die ever if nothing can come along to replace it. Even though you have to treat the game and setting it up to play it almost like you are preparing a real car, it's so good to drive in and feels so right all the time that it is really hard to move away from it for that sort of racing. Sure it doesn't have the amazing 2024 flare or the "ease of access" (though many other niche games are harder to get working) but once it all works and is dialed in literally no other game can rival it. The FFB response from the game on a DD wheel is legit unmatched, you get so much detail where it matters and it rarely feels "gamey." The fact it is a passion project at this point is another just mind blowing experience. You can do all this free content + championships for free while a lot of other companies kinda price gouge the sim racing market (that's not even including the actual peripherals needed to get a fully realistic experience). It's an art form of a sim at this point.

RBR is a hobbyist venture. Any game that deals with a mod community is for hobbyists. Unlike modern games with no mod community you customize to your desire. It takes dedication like any other hobby.

any papyrus sim works great with controllers, just turn steering linearity down in control settings, and raise steering ratio in your car settings. devs knew a lot of people didnt have wheel and pedals back then, and its not too bad, this goes for all games in the series, grand prix legends is a great one, and its totally free, well, the entire series is but GPL stands out. emulating the gran turismo games works too, and forza project plus works fine through an emulator as well, tons of options.

For 2. You had the space cause its a complex of corners and you were properly alongside to start them. It's common knowledge when taking a complex of esses, especially two 90's like Road Atlanta and some others, The car on the inside has the advantage on the first and disadvantage on the next. Swapping as the amount of turns in the esses are. He did not clear you completely on the first turn so he doesn't get the space on the second turn unless you get completely clear. If he was in your spot he would want you to leave space on the inside for him. But a lot of people on iRacing don't race you like it's anything but their track. Just a racing incident.

I now want to do some rallycross, i didn't know that there were so many interesting things on it! 1. My experience with rallycross was 100% from Live for Speed (the only sim my pc can take), and i didn't know about the joker lap 2. Those damn eyes will haunt me for the rest of my life 3. 3:40 🤨

What a fantastic video. I've loved RBR since the day I got it (2007ish maybe? as a young kid in the states it just wasn't readily available). You hit basically every point that I have with the game here. It's still so good, But so frustratingly annoying at times. I recently got a good friend into it and he's been loving it, But I'm apprehensive to tell him to try DR2.0 or EAWRC because he doesn't have as much patience for the bullshit that I do lol.
