WRC 9

Anyone else have this on their radar?

8 was a good jump in quality and 9 looks like it's shaping up well. DIRT 2.0 hasn't quite grabbed me the way I hoped it would so this is looking tempting, especially for the PC pre order prices available

Anyone been able to play preview build / have their eye on this too?

Thanks. Hopefully it will be resolved in a timely fashion.

I noticed, I paid a whole £1.60 more just yesterday. Very annoying, which has been a bit of the theme of today...

I pre ordered few weeks back thinking BARGAIN! And saw its cheaper today......never mind. £19 still a good deal

I assume this is on Epic store. I put WRC8 on my wishlist for Steam blooming ages ago, it's still not released lol

phatboy · 2 Sep 2020 at 22:47

Yeah my key will be epic apparently

You should hope it is or you could be waiting a year to play the game

.
Will probably be epic exclusive for 12 months like wrc 8 was.
Wrc 8 is only on steam next week.

Epic Games are certainly Epic Fail. Still can't even download it yet. Good job my internet is very fast so hopefully wont take long. When do they plan on unlocking it?

Nice one, couldn't find that earlier

Downloading it now.

phatboy · 3 Sep 2020 at 16:00

Will be on it once the lady wife finishes work

phatboy · 3 Sep 2020 at 19:39

not bad first impressions so far.

Runs nicely too on the quick go I had. 1440p, Ultra preset, 75FPS solid (my screen is FSync 75) looks pretty enough for me

worth the £19 I paid.

It runs well on my old system too. The graphics are a little dated looking but it plays and handles well in 4k.
