Monte has been in the last few games, so I understand the move away from that. If Michigan stages are anything like Dirt 3 then they'll have much in common with Finland and NZ (i.e fast and flowing).
Okay so no WRC cars, but with the kind of car list that they've already announced I can't say that I mind that. I have far more fun trying to get a quick time in something that's tough to drive.
I'd love some WRCars from the 90's. Evo VI, great. But give us a WRC05. Seat Cordoba and the Octavia. Some new R5's too. Trying to think what other WRCars to involve.
Monte was the best I have to say. Truly you could feel driving on ice, loose grip and then you have grip on the dry stuff. Michigan to get the US players involved?
Australia, never really liked it. No true basis of stages to be honest. Bring NZ into the game, get the stages set off real roads, Whaanga Coast would be ideal. Greece was a bit rough, rocks on the edge, very edge of the roads to hook the cars which was annoying! Perhaps a Safari round... or even... hrmmmm... Ireland! West tarmac, similar to what Colin McRae rally was with Japan!
Will this new game be a hardcore Rally enthusiast version or is this a new game to introduce fans into the sport and not be so serious. I'm not sure if a Simulation is the right word. Is it or not?
I wonder if this Your Stage will be like what V-Rally had. Create your own stage. That was mega!
Fitzroy!? It's a suburb in Melbourne! My point exactly, pointless of having Rally Australia. I know it's a game but still, place it back in Perth. Have a similar stage to Bunnings.
Aha! It's an Arcade game... and no WRCcars because the FIA Police came along and said NO. :/
Dirt Rally was the biggest gift to us hardcore rally fans and there won't be anything close to it in the following years. That Codemasters manager just politely reveals that they miss a lot of audience and want it back, i.e. they will make some NFS crap for 13 year old american hamburger kids.
its a shame they throw away all the good job they have done with dirt rally,no wrcs no monte,greece and even finland, what rally game is that?
No, it's both. They are keeping/improving the handling model from Dirt Rally but also adding another simpler model. Times for each handling type will be completely separate.
As above, they're doing both. It doesn't make commerical sense to keep doing games like DR...however they've proven to the bosses that there's an audience for it and hopefully will deliver a game that attracts the hamburger kids and the rest of us that love Dirt Rally.
They didn't 'throw away' anything, they've built on it. The WRCs, it's more a case of the rights holders wanting to give the official game a boost. You can't blame Codemasters for that. As for the rallies, wait and see what they actually deliver. Just because the Aussie stages are called 'Fitzroy' doesn't mean that they won't resemble something like Bunnings. I don't see why people are bother by what 'country' the rallies are supposedly in without actually driving the stages. As long as they are good to drive then they could name them Outer Mongolia for all I care.
I love DiRT Rally and it's probably the best Rally game made by Codies, along with Colin McRae2. I am playing it every day, because nothing can beat, driving a stage on Montecarlo or Finland and even Greece, with one of the many great car available from the Garage. All that will disappear with arrival of DiRT 4, although they will give us this cool feature called Your Stage. Australia and Spain are boring events if you ask me, so I think it's a step back for all Rally fans gamer.
My two cents :p
The stages aren't copy's of real-life anymore due to some restrictions. They now have stage generator called Your Stage that gives us almost unlimited amount of stages. You no-longer are able to memorize stages and you'll relay more on co-driver than your memory!
WRC cars are out thanks to FIA, but they have updated physics and car handling. Kris Meek helped them to modify R5 class and Solberg WRX cars. That said, i'll take realistic and lower class cars over SLRE and WRC series crap.
Oh, and Nicky Grist is back ;)
