- Here is our review of DiRT 4!
After all the hype, after ALL that pre-release footage, after all the promotion, it's finally here! DiRT 4 is the latest iteration in Codemasters' storied rally franchise, and after the runaway success of DiRT Rally in sim circles, the question is, does the latest in the series top it, or does it fall back into its old ways?

I reeeallly hope they add new locations via DLC. It'd be amazing to get Greece or Finland in Dirt 4.
Definitely agree about the Your Stage controls - width, height and maybe roughness would be nice additions.
They can't use some WRC locations because of FIA licences
and Hill Climb events.
bloodcorer YES!!!!! My only gripe with this game is that the hill climb has been all but forgotten.Too bad because those stages were just killer.
LameSauce_ greece is not in WRC
I think there are missing cars am i rigth?
Where are the Ogier and latvala cars and that stuff?
Note: I am aware that I accidentally forgot to address the "Lack of VR" explicitly in the review, and I'm sorry. That is something that is considered as a "Con", and could be included in the "Compatibility With High End Hardware" con, but it should have been addressed in its own section.
Note: I have released an "Updated Thoughts/2 Weeks Later" video, which addresses some other thoughts I've had in the 2 weeks since DiRT 4 was released, including a revised score: ua-cam.com/video/PBY1T5n1dE4/v-deo.html
Thanks, no VR = no BUY for me.
Given the graphics are scaled back from Dirt Rally I really can't see why/how this was omitted.
utter nonsense, no VR support, No FOV support, No Triple Scree support and your channel a Sim channel i ok with all of that. When did they ship you your free copy of the game ?
MrNiceHk why you not drive rally in real life if you care so much
MrNiceHk plus the vr support also came 6 months later with dirt rally
Dirt Rally was practically a Indie title, it was funded by early access backers and developed with robust support from the sim racing community. When if first came out there was no retail versions of VR out so it was totally acceptable not launch with it. Today in Mid 2017 Practically all but one serious simulation titles support full VR and native Triple screen support. Codemasters claim to want to address the more serious sim racing commuinity yet they cannot be arsed to support either of the 2 main ways people race, via triples or VR. As for your comment about racing rally if I care so much, I enjoy sim racing, I have a very expensive rig, I want as many titles as possible to support things like FOV, Full wheel calibration, triples, E handbreaks, VR etc .. because these are the things that bring the experience closer to the real thing rather than sitting on a couch pulling accelerate and break triggers
Bit of a different personal opinion here...
I am writing this review as a long time sim racer. Therefore, I am going to focus on things like FFB, physics, and graphics performance more than car selection, soundtrack, etc. If you are a keyboard or controller player who enjoys more arcade/action-oriented driving games, this review probably won't be helpful for you.
If you're a sim racer with a nice racing rig and you enjoyed Dirt Rally a lot (as I did) then be prepared for a huge disappointment in the physics department. You may have heard that you can now select between a gamer handling mode and the sim handling mode. Of course, I went straight for the sim mode, all assists off.
The problem immediately becomes apparent when you start a rally - even in sim mode, the levels of grip are highly exaggerated to the point where even the RWD vehicles require extreme control inputs to induce controllable slides. The worst of this is represented in the gravel/dirt stages (Australia, Wales, Michigan, and Sweden.) For some reason, the gravel is just hyper-grippy. For example, while trying the Group A Subaru, a nice 4 wheel drift around a hairpin (which works brilliantly in Dirt Rally) results in the car "digging in" immediately and setting you up for a brief oversteer followed by heavy understeer. In many cases, a handbrake input would start a slide but then the car would bog down almost to a *stop* before taking off again.
The tarmac physics (only the Spain rally is tarmac) are a little better and in *some* ways an improvement over Dirt Rally. The cars feel a little more communicative through FFB and react slightly more naturally to things like weight transfer. However, the grip levels are a little too high once again, requiring relatively heavy and sudden inputs to induce a controllable oversteer or drift in most cars. It's not as much of a mess as gravel is, though.
The game is also quite a bit more demanding graphically on your CPU/GPU than Dirt Rally. At Ultra settings, my 980 Ti + 3570k @ 4.6ghz running a 1440p Gsync display gets down into the 40s at times in Wales, where the dense forest seems to be an FPS hitter. If I drop down to high it's much better. I don't necessarily count this against the game since it still looks pretty good at High settings, and presumably, there's room to grow as newer and better GPUs come out.
I know racing sim physics is always a point of contention among sim racing enthusiasts. I've already seen people saying things like "well, it's just different, give it time." In Dirt 4 though, I can say without question the physics model (which was pretty darn good in Dirt Rally) has taken a SERIOUS downturn here. As such I can only leave a negative feedback for now, until such time as Codies takes another crack at it.
Shane Miner, yes your absolutely right , there's way to much grip ,dirt had it more or less down to a T bit disappointed with this
I have a full racing rig and absolutely loved Dirt Rally. Immediately I realized Dirt 4 physics are horrifying, with all the weight of the cars and grip levels on the multiple surfaces feeling like a game thats 10 years older than it actually is. Really disappointing since I was excited for a fresh simulation rally game. The wait begins for Dirt Rally 2 now...
Another review complaining about grip levels, while not considering improved aero, actual weight transfer and weight of the car as a factor in physics. All the cars in D4 are setup in such a way to get understeer, so cars are easier to drive. Setup your cars and be more agressive in your weight transfer to get oversteer. Gravel isn't fucking ice, there is lots of grip to be had there, so is there on tarmac.
I'm probably one of those rare eccentric types who use a gamepad with sim handling... 8D
wtf
Same. It sounds like I'm playing a fighting game sometimes.
Not as extreme and adventurous as using a keyboard 🤦♂️
@@tab8819 reminds me of when I played rFactor with my keyboard, fun times!
Dirt, Dirt 2, Dirt 3 and Dirt 4 are the main Dirt games Codemasters make their living off. 25% simulator, 75% arcade.
Dirt Showdown is a demolition derby spinoff. 100% arcade.
Dirt Rally is a hardcore rally simulator spinoff. 100% simulator.
Great review William, I've seen other online reviews but you've done the best job at picking out the positive and negatives where others have failed. I already have the PC version preordered and use HE Pro pedals so it looks like I'm going to be fresh out of luck until it's patched. I guess I shouldn't be surprised this is Codemaster after all, they seem to always have difficulty with stuff like monitors and peripherals.
This is an excellent review. Very thorough and down-to-earth. Pretty much touched on everything I needed to know about. Well done, lads.
I think the lessons are literally to help new players. I think its great they've added such a feature, as DiRT Rally just used videos and then said "cool now work it out yourself". I think it's a nice way to help new players along and shouldn't be treated as a large part of the game. No time limits means no pressure and allows you to be gently introduced to rally. You should improve your skill by using "your stage" and increase the length and complexity to better your driving skill imo, not using the lessons.
I just forced myself to play WRC7 till I completed a whole season in WRC. Now moved on to DiRT4, it's a breath of fresh air!
Prolly untill I head back to DiRT Rally tho
I can confirm that the HE pedals work fine with DiRT 4. You just have to go through all controls for every controller seperately. Select and configure the wheel, then select HE Sim Pedals and assign the pedals. Don't forget to adjust deadzones!
I have this installing right now and just in the first couple minutes of this video, you confirmed that this was a good purchase. I loved Dirt Rally but it was a challenge with a controller. I am glad to hear that its been improved!
What they've failed to realize is that they've grown their fan base round all the wacky game modes and multiplayer fun now they are trying to become a simulator, what I'm scared about is the fact that they've lost a lot of sales making it more likely that's it for the series which I use to love so much
Thanks for the review, very good. You're quickly becoming my favorite simracing news channel.
Thanks for all your information about these games and racing hardware.Not just in this video but from all your other videos.
I got the information I needed to know and now know what games to get and what wheel I need.ty
I think there is not enough new stuff in Dirt 4.. Just keep playing Dirt Rally and wait for discount.
infinite stage route generator alone is worth buying. So far its amazing . Everytime i generate, its whole new rally stage. Stage looks very very natural just like real life road(elevation,bumps always different). Dirt Rally have 12 fukking stages not counting reversed.
Like the guy above mentioned, the stage generator alone will revolutionize the online rallying part of the game. Dirt Rally is now just a hotlap simulator in this regard, dominated by people who learned every inch of the stages to be as quick as possible. That's not what rallying is supposed to be about. I can't wait to enter a daily/weekly/monthly challenge (or a league) where the key to success is the ability to react to the stage and adapt, not to be able to memorize the stage perfectly.
Trololo andy spent $55 to get a stage generator where it randomly mixes the track elements in a game where getting good times and knowing the track is essential. Grow up xD
it mixes radomly millions of ways so everythime you generate, it always looks different even with bumps and elevation. You should try it and you will find out. Are you happy with Dirt Rally with 12 stages(not counting reversed)?? stage route generator is very good and it doesn't generate like San Francisco road(roller coaster kind of stupid road).
I read some reviews and all say that after a couple of hourse even the generated tracks look very repetitiv. They recognized sections that look the same quite fast wich is a bad thing. Also I find the tracks to0 wide and the setting for most compexity isn't that complex imho
"No DudeBro Mentality" is a game seller for me. Great review!
i hate the fucking dudebro mentality in nfs
Tried this game in Steam, refunded. Saying it's "just as harcore as Dirt Rally" is complete bullshit. Group B RWD deathtraps handle like understeery SUVs.. Modern rally cars may be easy to drive IRL but they are still not hovercrafts. Snow and gravel has lateral grip level of what you would think is proper for tarmac. It's almost impossible to get cars sideways, unless you drive like a complete madman. Provoking on-throttle oversteer is nearly impossible in 300+hp RWD car lmao. And when they DO get sideways, they are straightened instantly by an invisible hand, like some hidden stability control is guiding you through. Tested with sim mode and wheel, all assists off. Complete ripoff, stay with Dirt Rally if you enjoy realism and challenge. Tarmac and braking/jumps were improved though, everything else ruined...
That's what I am seeing from videos too. The inertia factor of the cars is so little. Also the suspension is kind of too perfect over the bump map of the tracks, cars stood too flat and perfect on the road, feeling magnetized.
Forever Dirt Rally
Stay with Dirt Rally if you enjoy realism and challenge - and driving hovercrafts that weigh about 300kg.
Just made two vr vids of Dirt rally and Richard Burns rally, Dirt 4 can't touch those two. RBR is still crazy good in handling and Dirt Rally looks amazing as a modern title, but is slightly easier to handle IMO.
While I love Dirt Rally, it's not real... It's harder to drive a car in that game then in real life.
Think this is the first of your vids i've seen. Very thorough and fair IMO.
Bravo chap
Shame Traction Control still remains active on the AWD rally cars though, even after you switch it off.
AESCULAPTORmark3 ?
Great review mate. I discovered your channel because of your Dirt 4 coverage and just subscribed off the strength of this review. Will be checking out your content for sim racing games along with my usual go tos Team VVV and ISR. Good work.
Great review! As all of us who love racing games know all too well, these kind of games get drastically overlooked. Thankfully, this isn't the case with the Dirt series, my absolute favourite series in the genre.
Overall, this is an amalgamation of all of the Dirt titles, taking the best features of them all into one game. Because not all of us are hardcore SIM fans, I love that there is an option to play both styles. It opens the game to a much wider audience, feels like a rally title (with the added perks of landrush etc), and looks/sounds fantastic!
I'm thrilled to have this game back where it should be.. with gameplay that it fun as hell. Nuff said. Grab it.
Got my discount. Waiting only 3 days gives you almost an $18 discount from Walmart thru online or store pickup. This will easily make Dirt 4 one of the top of the series since one of the biggest complaints seems to be "couldve had just a little more content"
Reeally nice and highly professional review! You surely deserve my"like" for this work! Thank you!
I think I actually most enjoyed Dirt 1 (2005?)
- You drove through small hamlets / villages / through farms etc, and the tarmac itself seemed different depending upon the location. GREAT variations!
Dirt 2 had a great MP structure.
2:26 wtf? did you cut that voice part together? :D
Would you say, if I want a challenge and precise feel, is the simulation mode too hard for controller, is it twitchy? I have Dirt Rally on PC and considering on getting this for the ol' sexbox when I just want to rally from the couch.
I Just played first game of Land Rush .. Man it's fun !!!!
Ferrari Wheel ( no force feed back ) on a Wheel Stand Pro V2 ... I bet with force feed back , it's mind blowing !!!!
great review and nice driving - keep up the good job m8!
Interesting, it is what it is. I really feel that what Project Cars did for track racing needs to happen for Rally. In other words, the community needs to fund it's own rally sim. I'm all for it and would be the first to put my hand up and into my pocket for it!
Dirt 4 downloads Friday, still will be better than nothing and probably will be quite good.
For sure understeer like crazy! esp throttle down understeer. I get that 4wd modern rally cars are much different to drive theses days but a Group B RWD rally car refusing to get sideways is odd. The handling is just plain odd feeling. I really hope they fix it.
Is this easy to play with a simple keyboard? I have D3 and I like that but I have completed it so.. I don't want to purchase all of the extra controllers to play a $25 game on Steam, I simply don't have the room for them at my PC.
nice review william.lets hope they sortout the tripple support.look forward to trying it friday when released here in uk
Was very concerned my HE Pro wouldn´t work after your review, but no issues so far. Seems confusing that all the mappings are listed under the pedal-entry or even from the CSS, but i just mapped everything accordingly and it seems to work. You sound like just one USB-device is supported by D4 like in SLRE and WRC, but that´s Bullshit to name it. I´ve four USB-devices attached and running.
I didn't mean to imply more than 1 device = crash
I'll try this afternoon to see if I can get the HE Pedals to work. I'm hoping that the day 1 patch may have fixed the pedals, so I'll edit the top comment if it is working again.
HI. Can you please tell me if there is AI in multi-player mode. ie. Would it be me and 4 friends only or me and 4 friends and AI? Thanks.
nice review, with pross and cons
I’m late to this but, I’ve been thinking about some games i enjoy playing when i was a kid. It was collin mcrae rally, and dirt 4 is its latest game right? Thinking about playing some rally again probably gonna buy it on my ps4 is it really worth it? By looking at the comments people who followed this franchise are quite disappointed i got confused whether should i go for dirt 4 or gran turismo
That is correct. Colin McRae Rally evolved into the DiRT series, which dropped the name after DiRT 3 I believe, but it's still technically okay if the series.
I'd say it depends on what kind of racing you're looking for. If you want exclusively off road racing, then DiRT is a solid option.
If you want more variety, GT Sport is good, but you can also check out Project CARS 2 or Assetto Corsa
Sim Racing Paddock i want off road, probably go for dirt. Thanks for the respond by the way
Thanks. Was waiting for an actual sim racers review
I'm probably gonna pick this up, but man I think I better lower my expectations after the masterpiece that was Dirt Rally. I live in Wales (and near some WRC rally stages) and for sure DR nailed the look and vibe a lot closer to reality than D4 manages. I just hope if Dirt Rally 2 comes along they take the same community assisted development, because ultimately that lead to a lot of good changes and improvements in direction of the game.
I really liked dirt 3 but i dont know which dirt to buy next...rally or 4? I play with a keyboard btw
I'm glad the driving physics have been improved, but they have ignored the boost modelling again. The way a turbo works in DiRT Rally and DiRT4 is the same and seems really off compared to real life rally cars and other sims.
Not sure whether to go with DIRT4 or WRC8 (which seems to *finally* to have got its shit together as a series)
Plus ALL Codies releases seem thin on track quantity, they could at least throw in some 'legacy' courses form earlier iterations :/
Did they ever fill out the track roster in DIRT4 since its release state? (as reviewed here, in June 2017)
So far I'm enjoying it ok. I really love the way the physics in Dirt Rally felt, you could really get the weight of the car into a rhythm that I just haven't been able to do in Dirt 4 yet in my hour and a half or so of playing. It just feels like there is too much grip, but I keep seeing people on both sides of the fence about that. The stage creator is cool but man, where are the bumps and stuff? The roads are too smooth, one of my favorite things about DR was how realistic the road surface seemed, and I'm just not getting that in the new stages, they just seem really smooth and flat. I hope they fix some stuff in patches, and I'll keep trying to get a hang of the new physics.
Hi mate! Going to buy a Logitech Driving Force GT, do you think it's a good enough Wheel to play this game\RBR and maybe a few other sims? I dont have the Money to buy a high end Wheel right now do you think driving force GT is good enough to play some sims and have fun?
Currently I own a Microsoft wireless steering Wheel but it's only 270 degrees and lacks feedback on pc (only has rumble on pc).
ExitPianoMusic I used to play RBR with a DFGT, worked really well :) I'd say go for higher end pedals as soon as possible though. makes a big difference
Bought it, happy with it for now. Will consider saving Money for a better Wheel but right now can't afford it because I had a serious disease (cancer) and I'm on the process of recovery and cant work yet. Thankfully I'm cured :)
That's great news to hear regarding the remission! I know Cancer can definitely be a scary thing, but hey, keeping spirits high can be a great medicine in itself! :D
very nice review, thanks!
great review I'm having a blast with it
got this on pre order and have the HE pedals and DD wheel, disappointed that it doesn't work.
Did you try it yourself? HE pedals with the Fanatec base is maybe different. I´ve HE pedals myself and downloading right now, but seems for the first try i have to wait to the 9th.
yes, the release is the same world wide. 0am UK time
This guy forgot to mention a ton of stuff man. There's the Freeplay mode which provides a ton more content if you're into that, different types of multiplayer such as real time racing/bracket (time trial), create/join a lobby, an used car lot which allows you to (obviously) buy used cars, run your own team(similar to dirt rally but with more depth), create your own paint scheme for your team.
There's a lot going on in this game, so while I feel it could use more official locations, a few more cars, specifically for non-rally racing series, it's very solid and more content is sure to come. Dirt Rally put out free content, so I'm hoping for the same here, but even if they decide to charge, I'd still buy it because this game is that good.
Thanks I really thought that it helped me to decide what rally game I should get. THANKSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh.. you dont have almost any control over the stage creator... i was hoping for a full on editor with tons of options for making the courses.
I think this one is a miss for me I think. I own all the best content of this game in Dirt Rally. Full price for a handful of cars, 2 locations, no triple fov correction support or VR support.... I can't see where the value is.
Thanks but no thanks Codemastets
RamjetX 2 locations? somebody did their research i see.
Coen wildevos comparing what you get over dirt rally... yeah. You don't get much. Someone apparently doesn't consider reselling same old content multiple times as a lame attempt at content creation ... ?
Watch the review and you'll see that your not getting much new.
Great review William, couldn't agree more with the lack of content, especially in the officially licensed FIA WRX. If Codemasters can bring ALL 21 Formula one tracks to F1 2016, why can they only bring 5 out of 12 WRX tracks to Dirt 4? And those tracks are a lot shorter than those F1 tracks as well.
On the negative side I think you could have also mentioned no support for VR out of the box.
Having all that said, I can't wait until June 9th to start playing this!!!
Breyzipp License
thats why
does it have vr support for the pc?
it´s a shame the multiplayer is such limited...in january the said multiplayer will be a key part beside your stage - i hope they are just not ready with the fine polish and add it in near future
I get the feeling the wanted to push out Dirt4 sooner.. or just quick over all..
So is dirt4 easier to drive in than dirt rally?
By a long shot.
Please tell me somebody,wich game should i get,this or Loeb ?
dirt 4 on simulation is more playable with the pad for me especially the rwd monsters, in dirt rally it is almost impossible to drive those with pad and all ass off, but in dirt 4 it is a lot easier and im happy for that as a controller player. btw gamer mode is not meant for controller, it feels so weird and zero control, they should make a split in the leaderboard imo to filter contrler and wheel gamers.
Thanks for those words, I played Dirt Rally mostly with a controller as well. Reading your comment I look forward to giving Dirt 4 a try with the controller as well. Luckily we can now scale AI difficulty unlike Dirt Rally.
I almost 100% completeled Dirty Rally on an xbox one controller on PC with all assists off. Its really not hard
Josh Carter me too, and yes it is very hard compared to other race games, especially rwd and group b. i never said it is impossible it is just hard and very challenging
dirt 4 on simulation is more playable with the pad.......
MrNiceHk yes thanks for quoting me
i want snoop dogg's voice as my co-driver. Please make this happen in a DLC.
Nice review dude
Your Stage has a built in elevation and bumbs so its good enough for me.
you said the physic are significally better than dirt rally? not in my opinion. i can't slide the car on gravel, too much grip
They should have made the multiplayer to be able to choose who can join. So if you want, you can host a game where only casual players can join or only simulator players or both.
Makkm3ster have you played the game yet?
Sergio Serrano Not yet. Why?
Makkm3ster You can restrict which type of players you want to join your lobby.... gamer mode players or simulation mode players :)
But can you choose that both mode can join?
When you say "we", do you mean the royal we, or are there other people behind the scenes. 😆
Sorry for my ignorance, I'm pretty new to your channel. Thanks for the great review btw.
everything compatable on Xbox is compatible with the pc version
How many more cars do you want? 50 seems more than enough to me.
Well all the 2017 WRC cars are out due to licensing. There are no Porsches, no Saabs, no Toyota's, no Skoda's. For WRX they get all the 2016 supercars except for the Audi S1 RX which feels meh as well since Ekstrom won the championship with it. I agree that 55 cars is a decent chunk to have but still, there are some obvious cars lacking.
Finland DLC please
Can anyone shed any light on Xbox one frame rate? Is it a locked 60fps? Any tearing?
Clinton Maher it was solid at 60, but there were some minor drops at times, never saw it go below 52 fps
no online party modes like in DiRT 3 right ? :( oh well
It depends for which group. I am not a competitive gamer so Dirt Rally 2015 and 2.0 are definitely not for me.
No multiplayer staggered starts :(
No proper triple screen support??? ... well that's disappointing.!!!!!
codemasters 101 ... honestly how they are still in business is beyond me, shower of utter gobshites
Since I️ don’t have any dirt games I’m gonna buy this one
Sim or not? Better than DR?
this seems like a regression.. in terms of _Fun-ness_ for me it's DiRT 2 > 3 > 4 .. I missed the Trailblazer and Raid modes + cool dudeBro music
Yeah, what was tough was that I got bored of it about it a week after Publishing this review. That was awkward...
honestly they should have waited one more year and release it with more content and better looking. it looks realistic af but not really good
Overall Dirt Rally is more recommendable pure rally game for player who is looking for good rally game. Rally content is better in DR, price is lower and physics damn good even if Dirt4 has some improvements. But in lower price Dirt 4 could be fine "dlc" for Dirt Rally gamers. Now its 45e in PS Store. Im still waiting for way better discount..
Lol the crucible that was the RBR tutorial
Big con for me was no VR support.
Incoming DLCs and microtransactions !!
Noroimusha303 i actually hope so
Noroimusha303 the game just like dirt rally needsit
Won't there be future content? Perhaps a hillclimb? Maybe...
Forget it !
It's Codemasters !
We get a few updates and then it's of to plan the next version of the game !
I think Codies fucked up good this time !
steamcharts.com/cmp/421020#1m
I play Dirt 4 on a keyboard on simulation mode..
no vr = no money
looks almost exactly like Dirt Rally, no one can tell me it would have been that much work to implement VR support at least like Dirt Rally had. It's just Ubisoft trying to make more money if they add a pay DLC for VR later
I like this game a lot
Why there isnt bmw m3 e46?
Codemasters developer officially stated that physics are arcade in both modes, because they didnt have time.
VisionHD No he didn't.
You are a bitch
dirt 3: smash into tree, flip the car 3 times, stuck in a ditch for a while, finished 3rd.
dirt rally: down a beast round, couldn't improve on it if i tried, finished 7th.
uninstalled dirt 3.
i really really hate arcade driving.
What was your difficulty set to though?
1:08 Hardcore rally roots? What hardcore rally roots?
ProrokC2 the rally ones.
He was talking about the DR, so i guess DiRT 1? But DiRT 1 was arcadey af, so what hardcore roots is he talking about? Every Codemasters game was arcade till DR
My problem was that the default control setting had a 20% deadzone. WTF MAN?! all the breaking defaults are set wrong so you have to change it right away. Like just fucking start with a decently tuned car. FWD is garbage. the rear wheels just dangle back there and you have to pull the rest of the asshole car along.
You would imagine the lack of content you mention is purposely done with DLC to come. Sad but the way games are these days....
No thrustmaster T500 support, no sale.
I still prefer the hardcore Dirt Rally over this.
I'm confused by these differing reviews. This guys says 'physics' are better, as evolution in fact. Other reviews say that it just feels too easy now.
I think I'll have to make my own mind up on Friday.
I'll say one thing though: if it has been dumbed down, then Codemasters have directly lied to people on r/dirtgame. The said multiple times that simulation mode would be better and just as hard. I will wait and judge for myself, but I do not like being lied to and my money taken dishonestly.
This is just as hardcore as DR, except for maybe rally track width.
For some reason i repeatedly see people perceiving D4 as "less hardcore", although there is no actual reason to think so: those who actually played the game repeatedly say otherwise, physics is even improved over DR.
DR just positions itself like "look, i'm hardcore!", and D4 do not, but... that don't make D4 physics any worse than DR.
Tieyme Tarmc has been improved. Too much lateral grip on gravel.
An actual IRL rally codriver says D4 is harder.
www.reddit.com/r/dirtgame/comments/6fswul/am_i_the_only_one_struggling_to_have_grip/
I still prefer even more hardcore RBR over Dirt: Rally ;)
Good video bro
I'm not paying 45 quid for it I'll wait 12 months
got it for 29€ on a key site
The Geezer 30€ on Instant-gaming .com :)
Thanks for the tip.
Physics and Your stage in Pros? No, half of the community complain about these aspects.
In fact, after 3 months this game has been forgotten by players and devs too
Make sure to watch my follow-up video ;)
I've noticed only now: i've already seen and liked the other DiRT 4 video and...you're mostly right!
am i the only gamer who dosent like a steering wheel with racing games ,,i prefer control pad ive tried afew of them and drive like im drunk ,,not for me,,great game though well worth picking up
nah you're not the only one mate
DIRT 4 works great as a boat game !
Totally agree !
Massive miss by codemasters- the game currently has bugged Thrustmaster T500rs support - the wheel disconnects during a race and needs to be unplugged - three times in my first race. See the codies forum - they are saying it's not on the supported hardware list !?!?!
Colin McNaughton thanks man i have that wheel. Good to know, no sale here.
0:21 I thought I was watching a review not a view?
Dirt rally got more atention to detalis, i loved hoe the smoke from tiers and dust floates in the air a little bit more and the dust ust stays there every lap like it should, map graphics textures, mesh etc were better in Dirt Rally, dirt rally feeld liek a polished game, this not
