ive played this game quite a lot as i really like about the spectator in the middle of the road as they really makes up of the history of the group b rally that i used to watch a lot of clip of it, not to mention the simple sense of humour in each car, overall it was a good relaxing game to play after stresful day of work/school
5 years of playing this game, it's still one of my all-time favorites. I'll add in a few more things into this video as a whole: - From Kacey's video, she mentioned how the devs really care for the game, as they will start working on the reported bugs as soon as possible. In this case, less than a day, if I remember it right. - The dev added livery mod support since the polacolor update, which means you can put a classic rally livery, or make one up by your own. (I'm working on my 3rd itasha livery as I am typing this) - There's a free roam mode where you can not only get to unlock more musics and free-roam maps, but also Funselektor's truck (The truck Dune drove and slept on during the game development process). - The cars' descriptions vividly ressembled the real-life counterpart, with some of which being told like an urban legend. Which make sense for Group S cars which most of the lineup never got to even touch the gravel once, or more obscure ones like the A110's direct successor A130, or the Pebble. Or the Audi Quattro Group S Prototype that was only recently being officially recognized by the company. - The sound and environmental design not mentioned here is criminal. Brake screeching, crowd cheering noises, gearbox shifting. Simple, but adds to the experience. - Various control settings are available to fine-tune the driving experience. Controller, keyboard, even wheels, your choice. And indeed, a lovely video for art of rally, I appreciate the work. And good luck with your game!
Thank you so much for such a detailed and thoughtful comment, it really means a lot! 🙏 There are definitely so many things I couldn’t cover in the video, partly due to my inexperience, but also because Art of Rally has so much depth. I completely missed out on the sound design too, but you’re absolutely right, those little details like brake screeches and crowd cheers really do enhance the experience. And honestly, I didn’t do justice to the realistic driving mechanics either, even though I talked a lot about the minimalist graphics. I wish I had touched on that more, so thank you for bringing it up. I love hearing about your livery mods too; it’s great that the community can get so creative with it. And lastly, thank you for the kind words about our game! Your support means the world.
This is a wonderful game - fantastic to play and an amazing community to boot, good skill ceiling too. If you haven’t played this then please do! Also thank you for showcasing it so well, love the video ❤
I have watched some videos on Himalayan car rally that happened in India in 1985 and it was just like you told in the first part about group B and after watching your video I will surely play the game
I'm glad the video resonated with you, and I hope you have a great time playing Art of Rally! Let me know what you think once you've had a chance to dive into it.
Haha, love the nostalgia! Art of Rally definitely has that classic retro vibe that calls back to games like Power Drive and Skidmarks-so you're in good company. You're never too old for some quality rally action, though! Enjoy the ride! 😄
There have indeed been tragic incidents in Group B rallying where drivers crashed into crowds, with fatal consequences. One of the most infamous accidents occurred in the 1986 Portuguese Rally, where a Ford RS200 lost control and plowed into the crowd, killing three spectators and injuring many others.
I'm thinking about buying this game (I've already played it through GamePass and even after it left GamePass I didn't uninstall it even though I didn't have the game), the game seems to have a lot of cars and variability, unfortunately the price of the game on Xbox right now is a little too expensive for me (I hope it goes on sale in the next few days 😁)
The game definitely offers a lot of variety with its different cars and stages, and it’s a real gem for rally fans. I hear you about the price on Xbox. Hopefully, a sale comes up soon so you can grab it at a better price! Steam definitely offers a much better deal, and I was able to get it there for the same reason.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot, especially since this is the first time I've made content in this style. I'm really happy to hear it was enjoyable, and I'll definitely be making more like this! If you have any suggestions or spot anything that could be improved, feel free to share-I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I totally get what you mean! The handling in Art of Rally can feel quite odd at first and might seem disconnected from reality. But once you get the hang of it, you'll notice it's actually pretty realistic in how it captures the difficulty of controlling these old rally cars. The developer probably intended it to be this way to emphasize just how tough these machines were to drive, adding an extra layer of challenge and immersion to the experience. Stick with it, and it’ll start to feel a lot more intuitive!
I think its alot to do with the 'counter steer' setting. You have to change it for each car as it behaves differently causing inconsistent handling physics. You have to choose the right car that suits your driving style!

Totally agreed. The spectators and humor in Art of Rally really capture the spirit of Group B. Glad it's a relaxing escape for you too!
Bro is cooking with that script. The kitchen almost cant stand the heat.
So glad to hear you appreciate it-it means a lot to us! 😊

I wish they have a cockpit view. that art style in first person would make me nut
Its a love letter to group B, and made me miss something that never happened; group S
"The game is not that serious bro..."
The game:
😄

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the video and that the game's community has made such a positive impact.
I i ever get this, just know ill find a way to somehow berrel roll every corner
it's not as difficult as it seems
Don't worry, practice makes perfect😄
@@Champkdub it's not that hard actually. Try vans, tri-wheelers, or the 959 in Group B.
Wish there was a onboard, or even a hood cam! I love the game but a down to ground camera is a big plus!
Totally agree! An onboard or hood cam would really add to the immersion.

Just watching your gameplay is giving me anxiety of hitting any obstacle. Any collision sends the car flying in this game
It adds to the thrill. Once you get the hang of the handling, it gets easier to manage those tricky turns! 😅
I’m going to get this.
Reminds me of Power Drive and Skidmarks / Super Skidmarks.
I’m old.
Haha, love the nostalgia! Art of Rally definitely has that classic retro vibe that calls back to games like Power Drive and Skidmarks-so you're in good company. You're never too old for some quality rally action, though! Enjoy the ride! 😄
I always wondered what’s the plot after the rally driver miss a turn 💀 (knowing there is a huge crowd)

I play rally games a lot, but I can't quite get the handling of Art of Rally, always feels a bit weird
