I'll keep saying this as long as most other reviewers don't get replaced, give Luke a damn raise and get him to review more games. No one even comes close to his enthusiasm, metaphores and analogies. Best IGN reviewer by far. Keep it up man, we all love your work!
@DeSPoTNemanjaS lol i was joke. then honestly theres not many reasons why i still watch ign. i used to like alot of ppl. but they all left. im glad the guy from Cracked is here now, but eventually i hope he has his own big channel.
The portrayal of the Kenyan stuff is spot-on. The flamingo area has to be at the outskirts of a town called Nakuru. And I think WRC has been one of the most authentic games ever. Really loved that it made the Kenyan Countryside terrain authentic, and I'll be buying it. (We call the dirt roads murram roads in Kenya-- it's weird that no one calls them that anywhere else in the world, and it kind of actually shocked me).
TH-cam compresses videos which makes them look worse. Also IGN’s video quality seems bad compared to some of the other channels like ACG. Maybe they have an issue with their video capture equipment.
I havent played racing games for 10 years and just by boredom I got this and its so fun and its challenging, you notice your progression so much, awesome game 9/10 from me. And I dont even like or care about cars.
In 2022 the rally cars will change. 1.6 L turbocharged petrol engine will be the main power and you can use 100kW electric motor to create that oomph you will need in straights.
2:35 Is that the best crashes get? That's the only crash shown! I want to know if there's an extreme damage model with wheels and panels flying off and if the whole crash is shown, or if the car just gets reset to the track before the crash finishes! I hated the more recent games removing crashes and resetting you to the track if you went too far off course, even by a small recoverable amount!
Who else’s noticed that whenever a racing or rally game needs to be reviewed, IGN gets their British or Australian employees to give us reviews on them and not their American ones. Adds a funny authentic flavor to it, I don’t know if it’s just me that’s picked this up.
Prolly cause the americans consider a rally to be a protest, not a motorsport. And if they know it is a motorsport, have a Group B/A tinted view of it.
@@Gl-my8fw dirt 5 is much more fun and much bigger then WRC 9. Forza Horizon 4 is the best racing game there is. Great online, great cars, 4k ultra 60fps. Lots of things to do 4 everyone 👌🏼👌🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Bought this on store at half price.. looka amazing on ps5. Physics are definitely an improvement in wrc 8, I fell they should have done more with the career mode though.. I think customisation would be nice, in terms of liveries,colours and driver. Training events could be better too, make them abit more fun and worth while doing. Think you should have the option to stay on current contract at end of championship too, sometimes the offers you get at the end I don't want to use them cars.
I love the game but it still has some bugs. I play it on PS4 Pro. Often times the engine sound starts fading and about 10 seconds later the game just crashes. I have a friend who plays it on Xbox One X and he says that the exact same thing has happened to him. Other than that the game is really cool. The surfaces on all tracks have been reworked, and cars handle way better than in WRC 8, that’s where you notice the improvement.
World Rally Championship. Plus, um... There's the Safari Rally. I recommend TH-cam videos that have funny Rally races. Cars overspeed and nearly hit people. (I know it sounds dark, but no one ever gets hurt). It's all usually shock and laughter as people overspeed.
@@microdavid7098 Umm people do get hurt but it was more common back in the day. Look up “max attack rally videos” especially the channel Mr.M he has fantastic rally videos
Bout this yesterday on the ps store for the ps5 in the uk, its on sale at min at £24.99 and this time in my opinion it's far better than dirt 5. Highly recommended especially at that price
A bonus objective not being done shouldn't penalize you.. it's a bonus objective 😆 If you complete it, you get a bonus. I've never gotten penalized for skipping extra credit in school or not making a company extra money to get a bonus check.
After so many so-so versions of WRC, it’s almost too bad they gave away WRC 8 for “free” on XBOX games with gold a few months ago (guessing they wanted to show-off the new quality - which is finally worth it), it’s hard to justify spending money on WRC 9 for subtle updates.
@@abramo7700 Yeah, hopefully they will. The graphics just look really blurry. It makes it a little difficult to see what's ahead, especially during heavy rain and at night.
WRC9, which was a massive downgrade on WRC8 was available for under £7 within 6 months of release for anyone wondering when to buy. Give it a month or two, cos it won't be worth full price.

I love how the Aussies always review racing games. Always the most entertaining reviews.
the hell are these bot replies
ColourShed Productions come to mind
It's the same Aussie, who covers racing games. They don't have a team of Aussies for racing games! lol

And they left the Australian stages out....

Don’t play racing games, was bored, 9/10

Whoa that’s awesome dude ! Cheers
Can't wait for the actual event in Kenya after all this is over, a must see!
I honestly only clicked because I knew Luke Reilly was reviewing it.
I don’t always step into the car but when I do, I’m breaking it
This actually looks like a great rally racer. I like the varied courses it looks like a lot of fun
It certainly is
Thanks for another great review Luke!!!
2:36 I did the takumi's technique on this curve. Done really well
yessir
NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD
I have a feeling that rally games are always just the same game every year..it just isn’t renewing enough
There's only so much you can innovate in a game designed around a real sport. Can't exactly have sci fi tracks and floating cars
At least the graphics always getting better
It's about racing m8, thefuck you expect
They should put music in their car. Is that the change you want?
In 2022 the rally cars will change. 1.6 L turbocharged petrol engine will be the main power and you can use 100kW electric motor to create that oomph you will need in straights.
Well i havent played the previous game soo im gonna pick this one!! Thanks for the review, you covered every single detail ty
No mention of wheel support or FFB. these are a must for a racing Review
congrats KT, after 5 years of development you got from "5" to "8" :D
5 was so bad because they only had 1 year to make a physics engine AND the game haha
What’s more fun? Racing on a traditional track or racing in a rally like this game?
rally, easily.
Rally of course
Been a fan of this dude since the old HYPER magazine days
I never give likes to IGN reviews, but this one deserves it!
Free play weekend on xbox or on sale for £3
YOooo I LOVED the triple caution stay centre reference
We need Dirt Rally 3.0 👏
@@joshobrien7708 yess totally agree 👍
Is Steven merchant the guy on the radio in game?
@generic generic eyes bulging with imagined riches
Would u put this above the latest dirt rally game?
Watch Jimmy Broadbent’s video on it. He sums it up pretty well.
If you like more focus on the tracks, this is better. If you like more focus on the cars, Dirt is better.
I wonder how tdu sc would be looks like based on the ign's review regarding with wrc 9?
Jackie Speed-Weasel has dominated every motorsport since 2016 and he never got so much as a press release.
wheres the other cars you are racing against ?
I am not a fan of racing games but this dude's reviews feel always spot on
Why review on Xbox One when PC version is 60fps+?
2:35 Is that the best crashes get? That's the only crash shown! I want to know if there's an extreme damage model with wheels and panels flying off and if the whole crash is shown, or if the car just gets reset to the track before the crash finishes! I hated the more recent games removing crashes and resetting you to the track if you went too far off course, even by a small recoverable amount!
Its same, even in 10 now, poor damage, reset as soon as off track a lil, piece of garbage

Which song is played at about 0:40?
2 questions. 1. Framerate? 2. How many stages per country?
Is it Easy on controller? Of is it a steering wheel game?
Awesome to see how the WRC series has grown. Gives me hope for TDU Solar Crown
This is on sale right now in the ps store right now for under $20.
Inspector butters gets all the facts
WRC9 or Dirt2 (using ps controller). Thanks in advance for opinions on either.
Two diff games. What did you end up buying?
subtitles for the aussie language?
Is this one releasing on switch?
Do this game (correct) running on Linux with Wine?
at least they continue to improve, even if only slightly.
ITS NO USE ! ! !
