I was determined not to buy this then I saw it had the Lancia Delta in it and Pikes Peak was coming to it *I am so weak...* Downloading now ..sigh

Someone please tell me there's a Manta in it!???

I want it. I don't know though, I'm not a fan of early access stuff

I've been waiting ages for a decent rally game

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

Will do the exact same.

Codemaster and early access..nope! I wouldn't touch this with a barge pole.

Grabbed it. Uploaded quite a few videos of it. Love it!

Guys don't you think it would be nice to have the view you get on the replays as a playable driving view ?

Its the cockpit view but its set back and you can see a lot more of the interier

How is the force feedback on the logitech wheels?

Does a mainstream developer/publisher using Early Access irk anyone else or just me? With 10% being the ultimate punch in the balls discount for being their guinea pig?

You don't have to buy it though do you?

I'll get it next week when i've played GTA a bit more, otherwise i feel like i've wasted another £40 on that game!

Hi

I have just tested it with my Logitech driving force GT and its does not feel that great and that was with @100% ffb setting

It should be ripping my hands of the wheel but its not.

Thanks! That's disappointing to hear, the past dirt games had amazing ffb.

Is the game single events or do you get to play a championship also?

Hopefully it will improve its early days yet

A few guys have said the same now on the steam forum.

So far I'd class this sitting somewhere between Dirt 2 & RBR.

FFB is ok but needs a minimum force value on my Fanatec GT3v2, as driving straight even on dirt tracks can result in little to no ffb around the centre of the wheel.

Different FOV values don't seem to make a difference on triple screens atm ( well kind of triple screen - mixed res monitors at 4860x1080 )

Stages look very nice though. Very similar to Dirt 2/3, and runs just as well as those 2 titles.

MoodyB · 27 Apr 2015 at 21:56

And the handling on tarmac reminds me of Dirt 1. Way too much grip.

I'm finding it good on my g27. Not as nuanced as Assetto Corsa, but enough to make me sweat a bit!

Menu works very well with the on wheel and stick buttons. Would have liked to use the clutch a bit though Currently using the paddles for sequential, but tempted to use the stick instead

I've been giving this a go and it seems it'll be great when it's had all the issues fixed, At the moment some textures look pretty bad and if your not pressing down on the accelerator when you turn your wheel (In the Mini) the car does not turn at all. Which is crazy. Once there solved it'll be a lot more fun, The cars a handful and very jittery (xbox controller).
I have the graphics all max'd and certain things don't look that nice, For example long grass can look very pixellated.
I ran the benchmark and the fps was averaging around 91 with a 4790k and 290x on a 1080p screen running at 1440.

min = 75.09
avg = 91.68
max =107.9
