Bonjour, Merci Beaucoup pour ton comment. désolée, mais je parle petit peu francais. Je suis d'accord. Pour moi sur PC avec MOZA R9, C'est une experiance fantastique. Salutations de Irelande.
I mean, sure, I like to drive some rallies in RBR. But, if you don't have time to practice you'll be far behind top guys. Still, games are just fun for most of us. You can't play even a simple form of career in RBR. And that's fine, it's just not everyone's cup of tea.
They just added more grip. I found it terrible. And also using replay in slow mo I had visual confirmation cars are still rotating on central pivot point when turning (even in slight curved straights road you can see rotating in a weird way)
@@TheMash84No, they added proper car weight... The car doesn't slide infinitely like in DR 2.0.. EA WRC is massive upgrade but people don't want better handling.. They just pretend they do... Go watch an actual WRC Rally event and see how much grip these monsters have... EA WRC is the closest to reality... But online bonobo monkeys judge the driving physics without ever watching the real thing...
Amazing video. One small issue tho: please lower the volume of the gameplay. It overlaps with your voice in a very annoying way and it makes your words almost untelligible. Have a nice day.
@@DamagedBrain24 Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I was trying to keep the volume balanced so the viewer will be able to still hear the car noises. It's just so it's easy for them to judge when looking at the gameplay in the background
@@sbsimulators6913 I agree. However keep in mind that people are here to hear your thoughts, not the engines. Anyway, as i stated in my previous comment, nice video!
Lowkey EA wrc is saddening to me. Its an amazing game. The graphics suck because there was an ending rush, and the team was scrapped right after. Dooming the game. Thanks ea.
Truly sad indeed. If the game was only 25 to 30 euro then maybe it might not be as bad as it is now. Thank god for DR 2.0 and most importantly RBR with the rallysimfans plugin
2:30 its kernel level anticheat made by ea in house. The people who made games force u to watch ads and grind microtransactions is adding anticheat likely to prevent people hacking the shittier podium pass out instead of playing for more hours than there are in a month to unlock everything
DR2.0 miles better than EAWRC? I just don't understand that take, like not even a little. Having tested both side by side the last 2 weeks (after 100's of hours in Dr2 and WRC9 previously) DR2.0 definetely feels like the predecessor. Where EAWRC feels like DR2.5 with WRC merged on and improved in most ways. DR2.0 was way too 4 wheel steering slidey, specially on tarmac. EAWRC is quite an improvement over DR2.0 in that regard. And feeling you like actually are running some good tyres that stick on tarmac. What got EAWRC most hate, and rightfully so, was the utterly crap performance. Today it runs quite a lot better than at launch. Both are great titles and worth playing. RBR is for a select few purists.
Of course, and I do agree with you when you say that the performance on EA's WRC is much better then it was previously. I just really prefer Dirt Rally 2.0 much more then its current successor. I just personally think that graphic wise, EAWRC is a step down compared to EAWRC. To me had Codies stuck with the Ego engine instead of switching to the unreal engine, I think it would have bean a much better product. I'm in no way saying that EAWRC is a bad game. I just don't think it deserves the 50 euro price tag (Correct me if the price has dropped) compared to Dirt Rally 2.0 where it only costs 40 euro for the GOTY edition. I respect your opinion but for me. I just don't find myself enjoying EAWRC as much as DR 2.0
@@ianism3 And I say fair play for those that are truly brutally honest. We need more reviews on TH-cam that are not glorified product advertisements. So no I will not "Shut up" about being a brutally honest reviewer.
I loved Dirt Rally 1 but hated DR 2.0 Why? The amazing choice to force TAA which just blurs the HELL out of everything and the ludicrously short draw distance of the trackside shadows left me feeling my eyes needed testing or flat our completely destroyed the immersion we're all chasing for in racing games. Codemashers also have a habit of releasing a game full of bugs and MAYBE fixing them but more often than not just abandoning the titles right after the final DLC launches, in favour of creating their next £60-90 garbage as fast as possible. It's now gotten to the point that they repeat the same damned bugs title after title even if they were fixed in a preceding game, it's like no one there takes notes on what they did to fix the problems in a title and feed that fix forwards, instead just reverting to the borked game engine and repeating the same process or just not bothering depending on feedback and player numbers. Hell I warned them years ago if they kept abandoning titles in this fashion and refusing to fix serious problems with many of them then they should be ashamed, didn't deserve to survive as a company and would end up selling themselves off to the highest bidder... I got banned from their forums and Steam discussions for my troubles. So imagine my surprise when I got a PM on my steam profile from the a*****e that banned me asking to check out the public lobbies in GRID 2019 and let them know what I thought... Bit hard to do that when you banned me for pointing out the BS and lies and complete about face regarding bugfix promises that never came... Then they spammed EVERYBODY to vote for GREED in the best game innovation category for the Nemesis feature despite it being a feature of their preceding title from 4 years previously. They lost out to Nintendo Labo... Trust me I should know this as I was a beta tester for that preceding title (Grid Aurosport). It was a silent behind the scenes feature intended to promote clean racing, if you respected the AI they'd respect you, if you drove like a twat then you were fair game.. In THAT game if you clobbered the AI too often in race 1 of a 5 race series, that AI would remember you until that series was completed and would be an utter pain in the ass till the final race. Not so in Greed, they forget you as soon as the race ends... So you can imagine my reaction to their subsequent sale to EA less than a year after they banned me for attempting to warn them of the perils of their treatment of their paying customers...

EA WRC has still the same car physics as DR2. The car is rotating in a central pivot point and the physics feels very dated. After trying RBR and Assetto Corsa for both Tarmac and gravel I totally regretted buying WRC. Also the engine's progression on all the car feels feels linear, including the sound.

Still Playing Dirt Rally from time to time and it's also very good at simulating driving physics
@@trombulan I salute you 👏
Personally feel dirt rally 1 is the best game codemasters have made even though dirt 2.0 and the new wrc are enjoyable.
Well to each their own
I've also played Dirt 1, which for the time I was happy to see Codemasters go back to their roots with it
RBR is still the best rally sim by far, everything else is an arcade game compared to it.
Judging by the dedication from the community, I can see why that's the case.
While the likes of DR 2.0 got close, it won't be as good as RBR
No. It sux.
It's a relic.
@@TrueBlade-1889 A relic?? C'mon, only an IDIOT or a really bad driver would say that!
