DiRT Rally Hits Steam Early Access

Hopefully they don't feel the need to appease fans of 2&3 too much.

Thankyou

Since seeing your post I've downloaded and run the benchmark. It flows very well and looks great. Results are:

Oooo I'll have to give that a go tonight then

RoyMi6 · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:23

Hold the phone!

Don't buy it just yet!

From my question on twitter:

@RoyMi6
@dirtgame any chance of more details on VR / @oculus support? Literalzerotv confirmed on the twitch thread but no one can seem to turn it on - Apr 27

@dirtgame
@RoyMi6 There'll be more info on specifics coming soon, keep an eye on the website: dirtgame.com/uk/blog/4497

Digital X · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:28

So far so very very good. Sounds are very nicely done. Only giving it a 9/10 because fraps slows down to 12fps around when certain parts of the track are driven on

Mini in the snow at night is amazing.

Edit: If anyone wants any particular screens feel free to suggest and I will see what I can do!

Witcher1979 · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:29

The community manager or whoever he is should have worded that a bit better lol.

Tmosm · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:33

Added this onto my steam wishlist. It certainly looks a worthy purchase but will monitor its progress for now

Twirlywoos · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:34

Back to roots?
It's about $25 on steamtrades. tempted but I have so many other games that are occupying my time atm

markoboyo11 · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:38

21:9 support? got 25mins left of download

Martini1991 · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:38

This is setting a dark precedent.

Gaming's proper gone down the crapper the last few years.

LoadsaMoney · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:39

Ooohh, i like a good rally game, i still play the original DiRT

Looks like it has triple monitor so hopefully 21:9 support, there is a FOV slider too

oh my...the sound of lancia stratos and integrale makes me open up my wallet and dust of my Xbox controller....

Digital X · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:50

I'm not doing very well. Got a flat left front tire right in the middle of a track. Physics and controls are a lot better than previous DiRT's IMO.

NvidiaDan · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:53

Really not in to all this early access stuff. Just finish the game properly before taking peoples money!

FredFlint · 27 Apr 2015 at 16:59

Just downloaded this and did a quick benchmark run, it looks and runs good.
Will have a play later.

I understand independent developers doing it so they can put the money from early access sales into the game and improve it faster. Not so sure about Codemasters doing it though, they have the F1 license so must be doing okay for themselves :cool:
