  • Dirt 5 is here, and there's been a fair amount of discussion about technical and performance problems. Two weeks later, and after two patches, Dirt 5 is much better than it was upon launch, and Kacey takes a deep dive into the game's campaign to find out if the game itself is as good as its predecessors. Game was provided by Codemasters but that did not influence any praise or criticism.

    Honestly, I don't think the "problem" with this game has anything to do with it being "good" or not, or pretty, or having content... What I find trully mindboggling is how *nobody* points out the way it *feels* , how DiRT5 plays absolutely *nothing* like ....well, a DiRT game. It's made by the makers of DriveClub and OnRush, with the engine that powers these games, and it show. It plays well, yes, the physics engine is good (I mean, we're talking about guys with WRC and Motorstorm credentials, they know how to make offroad racing games), but it never feels like you're playing DiRT ; it feels like you're playing DriveClub on dirt, and it's not the same thing at all.

      I partially noted it in my steam review I believe but might have only describe it as odd rather than putting it out there like that. Definitely a huge part of my disappointment, the fact it isn't very DiRT-y apart from game mode selection. I don't like the physics that much either, though half the cars are still fun to drive. Just not worth the money. Also, the mp has no (re)play value at all, playgrounds are OK but don't make me want to come back as much.

      Along with the handling, the damage and collisions are the biggest downgrade. Can't even wreck your car as far as I can tell. Still no Cat and Mouse modes... AGAIN.

    I pre-ordered the game. played for about an hour and then got a refund. the lack of rally/trailblazer stages (why have so many rally cars yet no rally mode?!!?) and the simplicity of the handling (even compared to Dirt 2 & 3) just annoyed me too much. it's a good game, but I'd rather get it on sale in a few months than pay 80$ now.
    I played the game a few days before release and had no problems getting a couple races in though. even at 1am on a Thursday night/Fri morning
    100% agree with your comments on Dirt 4. it was trying to appeal to two very different audiences and that was never going to work. I love the game too though.

    Going into a more arcade based game is fine, they announced it well ahead of time. The problem is it's still a Dirt game and judged against even Dirt Showdown it's short on features such as not being able to use my G29 or DFGT with it, replays and celebrated modes like RALLY being replaced with a Sprint Car mode so weak that it makes Tony Stewart's Sprint Cars look AAA.
    It really feels like that this was just a cash-in to have some sort of next-gen racing game for next-gen titles and that's all it feels like, the game performance and online servers were horrible on launch day and it has bugs reintroduced that other Codies games had patched out long ago like the mouse cursor not going away when using a controller. A track editor is...cute, but Trackmania exists. DualSense controls are...fine, but I already own a dedicated tool for racing games.
    A lot like PCars 3 needed to be called something else, this should've just been called like Dirt Showdown 2 or OnRush: Now With Actual Racing, maybe.

    I strongly disagree with parts of this review. Grid reboot is NOT good game when talking about it's base and driving model. It is worse than RaceDriver Grid in every possible way and physics (collisions, driving and damage model) are the worst part of it. I've said that Grid 2019 has bad physics and weird feeling after I watched pre-release footage and playing game myself only confirmed my opinion. I've had same story with Dirt5. After playing it I have to say, it is NOT like previous Dirt titles. It is showdown pushed to its limit. Again, suspensions feel weird. Cars have their suspension fully "extended" while stationary, damping is just wrong, vehicles often lose contact with ground and shake like crazy but not in authentic, fun way. Just like they are not dealing with terrain at all. Lack of rally events is laughable. CMR Dirt and Racedriver:GRID are among my favourite games, I spend countless hours playing them on Xbox360 and replaying on PC. Dirt5 is just shallow but pretty attempt to get few more quick bucks, same as Grid2019.
    If you enjoy Codemasters games, better look at BTCC game coming in 2022. This is made by touring car fans and ex-codemasters developers that launched Dirt, F1 and Grid series.

    Just wish they would take the game back more to it's roots.
    Main issue I have with the game is that the AI/ difficulty is all over the place depending on the event. I tend to race on medium difficulty and some races you can win by a country mile, while others the AI will come out of no where and vanish into the distance after shoving you into a wall.

    Here's the thing with Dirt 3. The game was and still is great, it runs on a potato and its been on heavy sales since forever. I am not surprised that it still has players. (even if most are the classic breathe into the mic Russians)
    Meanwhile Dirt 5 has issues running on average 2020 hardware and its 55$.
    Personally I think Codies really needs to try and get their racing games working cross-platform. The simcade/arcade audience doesn't seem to be as strong as it was 10 years ago. Cross-platform would've helped GRID 2019 a ton and I believe it would've helped D5 as well.

    i personally refunded the game after i realized it has no wheel support despite codemasters saying it would, sneakily adding "after launch" at some point, but even if i looked past that the technical issues made it a really hard sell to my friends who dont buy as many games as i do.
    id say ill revisit the gasme once wheel support is in, but i fear this botched launch has killed player population forever.
    the problem with expectations is on dirt 4 though. if they would kept rally rally and the mainline series what it was instead of making 4 a weird mix people wouldnt have expected a rally game in 5.

    It's a decent game and I've had some fun. Some of the design decisions boggle my mind though. Why would you not have replays? Why has the damage model been almost completely removed. These were two of the key things that made the first couple of Dirt and Grid games so great, TOCA as well. Do I miss rally? Kind of but, there's the previous versions of Dirt I can go back to. However getting rid of fundamental features just confuses me and worries me about the companies future. Why not have a replay option? There's no downside. I can only assume it's because they cannot figure out how to implement it and keep the new graphical prowess in this latest iteration of their game engine. So their decision was for looks over function, that shouldn't exist in a racer.

      @@ianism3 DR 2.0 is not a great game. Half the game content is locked behind DLC, there's a real lack of track diversity with there only being 2 actual stages per location, they've just been cut up, reversed, etc.
      The suspension simulation is not very good, it's floaty at best. The pacenotes are garbage for many locations, especially Scotland. They actually simplified the pacenotes compared to the original Dirt Rally resulting in less detailed notes, especially for more unique corners where there's hazards.
      WRC 9 has a better overall handling model to DR 2.0 and nothing touches RBR with NGP anyway. WRC drivers call WRC8, WRC9 and DR 2.0 arcade games - they use RBR with NGP to train for real life events: ua-cam.com/video/1WqGoPf4Y98/v-deo.html

    I love Dirt 5. I'm having a lot of fun playing it and going after the platinum (which, face it, is probably one of the easiest games to get a platinum on LOL). It looks, feels and sounds nice, has lots of variety, and hopefully, will only go up from here. It's not a hardcore sim for hardcore fans. It's a racing game for those who love racing and drifting and jumping and just having a damn good time. I personally think Pathfinder is a dope game mode, and hopefully they'll expand upon it in the future. A lot of hilarious stuff happens in this particular mode, and with the rest of the game as a whole. I really hate the sprint cars though lol...

    To your point that some people are unhappy about the graphics.
    I might be suffering from some form of blindness, but to me most PS4* and PS5* games don't look that much graphically superior to PS3* games. And, maybe it's just me being old school, but I cannot understand anybody complaining about graphics in this day and age. Like literally all new games these days look gorgeous to me. Is something wrong with me if I don't distinguish between the amount of polygons when they're in thousands?
    Perhaps it's because I remember going from 320x240 and blocky models vaguely resembling humans to such things as "facial animation". I don't think I can be impressed anymore.

    I think the online component will get better after some time. I'm holding off until the PS5 releases on 19th so it still a few days off, as it is for many other people. Since it's an arcade racer, I think it will be more suited to Console gamers with a Controller rather than to a PC player who have higher expectations from a game.
    Maybe it will take a while until it get's it'S first price cut on a christmas sale or whatever. Just don't give up on it yet. There is no "new" Need for Speed, Forza, Gran Turismo, Crew or whatever coming soonish so it's the las t arcade racer after Grid and Project Cars 3 to hit the market.

I could go on about this game but I think what I just said sums it up the most. Codemasters/SlightlyMadStudios have been going downhill for a while now in my opinion, constant reused content across multiple games which I don't see anybody talk about and now the disappointing release of this game and Project Cars 3. They're not particularly bad games, they're just branded incorrectly.
