DiRT Rally - Feck Off Casuals

Tue Apr 28, 2015 1:36 am

No rubbin', no side-by-side racing, no Gymkhana, no radical dudez chatting through your headset, just Rally.....as early access.

It showed up without a pre-release announcement this morning. Grabbing it for cheaper once it shows up on GMG, but here it is on Steam
http://store.steampowered.com/app/310560

So it's just rally, which at least it's good rally. Long narrow courses with a co-driver and an available cockpit cam.

Looks a bit buggy from streams I've seen, audio cutting out during replays and such. Looks like it plays like a DiRT game, sim but not sim.

Right now it's all asynchronous multiplayer with daily and weekly challenges. Weekly's let you use your own upgradable cars, daily's are locked to a certain car that you don't need to buy (in game currency, hopefully not microtransactions).

Glorious damage, weather, snowy tracks, damage carries over to the next stage with limited repair time, team management, leagues you can join, etc etc.

Only 17 cars right now, 36 stages....

Their timeline of future updates.... https://www.dirtgame.com/uk/timeline#timeline_15

Pikes Peak next month
Tarmac tracks and classic cars in June
RallyCross in July (this is the side-by-side racing one)
PvP Multiplayer in August + more RallyCross content
Finland stuff in September
Modern cars in October
Snow tracks in November

If all that is free, this is a no-brainer and great use of Early Access. If that shits DLC? :lame:


Watching streams, NIGHT RALLY :headbang:


Yay FAQ - http://steamcommunity.com/app/310560/di ... 326248583/

What do I get for my money?

At release DiRT Rally will include a total of 36 rally stages spread across Monte Carlo, Greece and Wales. We have a total of 17 cars, from 1960s classics right through to modern day machines. As time goes on we’ll be adding more cars, more environments, we’ll be climbing Pikes Peak and going door-to-door around a selection of the best circuits from the 2015 FIA World Rallycross Championship. We’ll also be adding features based on your feedback so be sure to let us know what you’d like to see included in future updates.

OK so how much does that extra stuff cost me?

Not a penny, regardless of when you join us for Early Access you’ll have access to all of our updates and all of the content we add during our Early Access period at no extra charge.


Boom, no brainer,

Back to basics indeed, I fucking love this. Unfortunately I have the known no co-pilot bug so no corner callouts + cockpit view makes this is even harder.

AND. DAT DAMAGE SYSTEM! Fucking yes, I love it when you have to be careful and responsible for damage. I bought the mini-cooper and pretty much I'm screwed for a while money-wise. Since I don't have the co-pilot right now I am screwing up corners as well as being very careful so lots of damage and slow times. So my first two championships paid out.....with me owing money.

And then I finally did one without totalling the car

But I did have a ton of fun, this is going to get a lot of play from me. I can't wait to see how RallyCross is handled, or if modders will do anything neat again.

Paying for damage? Reminds me of one of those old need for speed games
