Great Vid Kev, but ya gotta stop dropping the F bomb man... Sim racers don't like the word FUN, it's like if they are having fun it can't be a good racing game. 🤣
That’s a very accurate statement Keridus! I’m pinning this comment.
Very good sarcasm😂
@@KP-mw7lj 😂
🤣
Absolut on point👍👍!!!🤣🤣🤣
This review is soooo funny. It's like "Stop hating the game it's amazing" then followed by a big list of "Do I wish it had better physics, yes...do I wish it looked better yes...do I wish it performed better....yes" 😂😂😂😂
I point was it doesn’t have to be perfect to play it and have fun with it.
Im not usually a super rally guy, i mostly play F1 or ACC when i do some racing.
This game is so much FUN, its exactly what i was waiting for, an improved Dirt 2.0 with the official WRC license!
Also i think it's a great overall package with all the content for the price you pay!
Yeah there’s a lot value there!
The fact they had a rally driver actually help them on the physics, so i’m happy enough with that
Yeah I just wish the tarmac would still be a bit better
Driveclub still has the best rain-on-windshield effects after all these years. Those devs at Evolution Studios were so ahead of their time. It's a shame the studio was shut down. Some of them ended up as the Dev team that worked on Dirt 5.
Interesting! I’ve never played that
Have you seen that rain mod for AC? Is it comparable?
Lovely review Kevin, it’s my first time watching your YT channel, I played my first WRC decades ago, thank you for the colorful and honest commentary my friend. 🙏🏼🥂🏆🏁💚
Thanks man I really appreciate it!
First time I have seen one of your videos. Like your style 🙂 (UK)
Thanks man I appreciate that!
I hear you man! People do love to complain; at the end of the day, we have a new rally game, and we should be happy with what we’ve got!
If people don’t want it, they shouldn’t get it. I’ll definitely buy it, and if I don’t like it, I’ll return it. I won’t winge about it either…
Exactly 😂
Great review cause you pointed out what is realy important to know from a Sim(cade)!! For me the best Review from WRC 23 so far and I watched a ton of them👍👌!! And it is by far more a Sim than an Arcade Game!! The gravel Physics are soooo amazing for me After Setting my FFB Perfect and going Deep in them after a few ours of Driving. So many people that say the Physics are shit, mad, Arcady and so on. At least the gravel Physics are so wonderful and on Point, think a lot of people didnt spend enough time to Go Deep in them or arent be able to Go that Deep as it needs!! (Sorry for my awful english) Abo for you and hopefully a lot more WRC 23 stuff from you for us👍👌!
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Nice in-depth review 👍🏼
Great that you turned the codriver volume down. It makes understanding you way easier for a non-native viewer :)
Please don't call people that dislike the game and speak openly about its drawbacks "haters" or "snobs".
You could just state your opinins, describe what you like, don't like etc (just how you did) but constantly repeating that the game is great fun, you should buy it seems a bit pushy.
Also people had all the reasons to expect a more sim experience after that marketing from EA - that was obvioulsly misleading so it's naural that players are frustrated and speak out.
Thanks man! Yeah I realized that. Later in the video I did turn him off completely. I just didn’t want to go back and record the first part again. As it’s alot of work to do in the limited time I have. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
when a video turns into a review of the simracing community...
and you're right, negativity sells unfortunately
i also think people invest so much of their time and money into sims/games and equipment that their way has to be the right way and have maybe forgotten that they ultimately got into this hobby to have fun
sometimes it's the less serious titles that remind us of that
Yeah I was so frustrated when I was recording the video. I had just read a bunch of stuff on Facebook group about the game. And it was all just so ridiculous. And when I start talking I can’t stop 😂
Thanks for the review bruh, but still PERFOMANCE issues and un optimized on PC is not acceptable😢
Agreed!
Great opinion. I feel the reviews and thoughts on social media are nuts. Games very cool! Like your content, new subscriber:D
Thanks Samuel! I really appreciate that!
love your positivity, more people need to just stop being so nitpicky and have fun.
Thank you! And yes your right. Games are supposed to be fun!
Great vid Kev! I'll have my own out shortly! I agree that graphics are a bit tricky to dial in, but it's a definite improvement on DiRT Rally 2.0. I definitely do notice graphical differences between high and medium though, especially with foliage next to the road. But again in most cars you are going so quick you don't have the time to notice or care all that much.
Thanks! Yeah I didn’t get out and count the rose pedals to compare…. 😂
At last a review that gives my thoughts on the game, the more I play it the more I enjoy it
Yeah man I’m really enjoying it also!!
just finished a championship, lot of fun, even made up a rally in Finland, great stages, the WRC2 is good & the WRC junior is as well
It is a good career mode
I'm no rally driver but in my experience on back roads (I'm in Canada too) hard-pack gravel like it seemed in Sardinia doesn't become mud in the rain, it just gets wet. It would have almost similar grip loss to tarmac when wet I figure. To really try mud maybe Kenya or Oceania in the rain?
I did have a little shimmering on gravel. I ended up reverting to default video settings and it helped. Now, I'm slowly changing settings one at a time (I'm running an AMD 6700XT). As a Pseudo VR, I've been using virtual desktop as a big monitor in my Quest 3. Be nice when native VR comes. But, until then this will work.
At least im not the only one 😂
Hey buddy, again a great video. I think i will try this game on PS5. Many haters are f.... up because the game crashed often. I find the water effects horrible. It doesn't look nice when you drive through the water. But that's just my opinion.
Thanks guy! Yeah the water effects aren’t the greatest I agree!
I noticed a big improvement in performance after turning off the Steam ingame overlay in the Steam settings and not just hiding like usual.
Good to know!
On loose surfaces in a 4WD rally car is it easier to achieve throttle-oversteer than it was in DR2.0? I always felt like the cars understeered too much on the throttle in DR2.0 once you got past 2nd gear. This is a difference between DR2.0 and Richard Burns Rally. On gravel in RBR you can basically hit the brake to shift weight forward or give the steering wheel a quick flick then get on the power and the car will throttle oversteer on gravel (even in the higher gears). In DR2.0 the 4WD rally cars struggle to power oversteer even in 2nd gear. This actually leads to the driver having less control over the car. Its why you can do bigger/longer power slides in RBR.
Thanks for sharing.
4WD on gravel absolutely has that on throttle oversteer, they are rather fun, always mess with setups mostly roll bars and dampeners to get the feel from the cars you want
I'm loving this game, haven't really had performance issues, but I've got OP hardware.
This game is a huge improvement over Dirt Rally 2.0, which I still play in VR while waiting for VR in WRC.
I already miss the physics/sounds/stages/graphics from WRC, lmao.
For the realism/immersion aspect the only thing I'm missing are more serious unexpected moments, more human co-driver reactions and background noises from crowds, like in WRC Rally Evolved.
Other than that, all I need is VR support and I can stay inside for the rest of the year, lmao.
Yeah man other then some stutters and a few little annoyances here and there. I’m happy with it.
Good review. I agree with most points you made. We can talk about graphics and physics and so on, but at the end of the day, we all knew this was going to be Dirt Rally 2.0 "Plus" at the very least, which would be a very good game. I think the deal-maker for this game would be the career mode and so far, it is looking promising.
I was going to wait for a sale to get the game, but the more I see of it, the more I just want to get it now. The only concern for now is game performance.
Thanks man! Overall I only get a stutter every once in a while. But it also seems to be different for everyone. I mean also some people just crank the graphics up and then complain about performance. So it’s all in moderation.
Im not gonna say too much about what is realistic or not, but like you said, EA WRC has too much grip, but the physics still feels surprisingly "refined", which adds to the realism. Dirt 2.0 on the other hand seems to have too little grip compared to what i would expect. After watching a few rally videos for comparison, my impression is that WRC 10 also have a bit too much grip, but is still closer to reality than both EA WRC and Dirt 2.0. I still enjoy all 3 titles a lot though, and would recommend them all. Dirt 2.0 maybe more for enthusiasts tbh, but still a good game - even for me; who have no interest in cars except for in racing games 👍
Well said!
great video indeed
rain physics is something that noone will ever gives us cause it might have to do with super computer calculations.
games are games.
ty for video
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Hopefully with unreal 5 and how they compute things in that engine, all that rain sim stuff shouldnt be too far away
The game is very nice in terms of evrything, neither I cannot understand the negativity of some people. Why they simply do not enjoy the variety of beautiful tracks and lots of vehicles and the balnce between sim and a bit easier handling is beyond me. It's an evolution of the previous dirt rallies for me, just a bit more accesible to the people. I'll spend hundreds of hours with it for sure
Yeah. The only thing they should have fixed were the performance issues before release day. Other then that it’s good
The negetivity is caused by this sense of entitlement that is particularly prevalent amongst the youth of today.
the rain and snow graphics r like 2005 level
I don’t think I would go to that extent lol. They should be better for a next gen title though
can someone please answer this question: (i have not played the game):
do any of the ea sports wrc stages have convex road surfaces for drainage and ditches on the sides like real live gravel roads?
They certainly took notes from Assetto Corza Competizione in the sound department, it really has that granularity, the layers of everything happening. It's a little exaggerated at times, but boy It's immersive.
Codemasters has always been good with sounds
Yeah, i'm week 35 into the campaign, and I've experienced only a little stuttering frame rate and screen tearing. Only if I crash and reset my car often back to track do I notice performance issues arising more prominently. Playing on ps5.
It's a great game.
That’s awesome! It sounds like like different people experience different things.
A very fair assessment of this very affordable game. Once you sort out the settings and understand how to counteract the stuttering etc it is a good game. Yes, it's fun. Nicely done Kev.
Thank you! It’s getting better since they did the update. I’ve got the game dialed in now how I like it
I just started mine.. I have 1920x1080 TV. the color pallet is good, frame rate is good, stuttering alwos non existing.. Physic...!!!! who gives a shit. I'm smashing thru some of these stages, and the distance...30klm ...wooAAA. The graphics dont mean mush when your flying along a gravel road wiht a cliff on one and a rock wall on the other... It id take some time to sort the wheel and the feedback to match Dirt Rally 2, But now it's all on the hammer...
Your having fun then!
Buying it right now.
Yeaaaah buddy!!!
🤘
This game is good. Most things I liked in Dirt4 and DR2 came over while a whole lot got added. I see no social media. But I did see a video that validated something I thought was a bit off and that is the steering pivot point. It seems the pivot point is always the center of the car as if you had 4-wheel steering. The pivot point should be in the rear normally and at the front if you are drifting. It's like they did the average of that. Check it yourself with external cam view and maybe you can talk about it in the next stream.
I saw that video too. I don’t notice anything when driving
All I do with any racing game is play time trials, so this game is epic. They will patch the stuttering.
This game is perfect for you then!
@@Bratmouse1the cars have excellent grip on pavement compared to any other rally game.
@@wg8290 yeah lots of grip!
Yer I think game is great feels amazing on csl dd.. But in regards to real feel yer its difficult cause i know the Western Australian gravel is like ball bearings in the dry, when wet the grip is like driving on Gorrilla Tape...
Lol
I see you disabled mirrors, which is a good move considering the FPS hog it is. Car reflections are also insanely expensive. After that if you got 15 FPS to spare I suggest you force DLAA with DLSSTweaks, and add a good bit of sharpening with Nvida control panel. Game will be legit pretty after that.
On a side note I'll keep complaining and I'm happy that the sim racing community is so picky. The cash grab and disrespect from the industry has been terrible these last years.
I’ll give those graphical settings a try.
No Dailies/Weeklies/Monthlies is a big disappointed for me. They're STILL active on 2.0.
Beyond that, the co-driver calls are extremely delayed in some locations, like Kenya.
As a whole I'm going to play it, but there are some oversights that are headscratchers.
Regarding sim physics, I agree. Specifically to ACC, I've tracked a Super Trofeo and 488 Challenge and will say they feel nothing like they do in ACC.
Yeah the no dailies and monthly’s are a bit of a downer. They have moments but not the same amount of content. Some places co driver is really good and some places not. There is no way to simulate what a real race car feels like.
great video and point of view, simracing community can be really annoying when comes about physics and simulation. for me right now, I'm missing only some little details like random events and some big like performance fixes.
Thanks!
Agreed! A lot of sim racers act like elitist snobs who somehow know more about racing than actual drivers do(there are some exceptions like jimmy broadbent & supergt) but most of these snobs have never set foot inside a racecar for more than a month let alone several years 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@wolfboy20 nicely said!
Nice video. One recommedation: turn down a little the gameplay audio because is compiting with your voice and is difficult to hear you. Keep on💪🏻
Thanks!
I was going to write this too. It’s distracting
There’s so much hate everywhere. The game looks amazing. 🤩
lol go buy it find out for yourself
@@rizzeerizz8985 already have it. Confirm 👌
Yes sir!
There's no reflections in the rear view mirror.
Yeah I turned the mirrors off
1:58 actually this game is made on Unreal Engine 4, Codies dropped Ego for this game because, as they said, Ego couldn't hamdle those larger stages.
I know I said that it’s made in Unreal Engine. Lol
@@Bratmouse1 oh sorry, i thought you said that if it would be made on UE then it would have more brilliant colors etc like ACC. Sorry then 😅
@@gregoryhause00 I think originally they said it was supposed to be made on UE5 but now made on UE4. 🤷♀️
@@Bratmouse1 okay, as far i as i remeber there were nothing said about using UE5
@@gregoryhause00 depends on on which site you go to this one did an interview with codemasters and there saying it’s UE5. wccftech.com/ea-sports-wrc-devs-explain-why-they-switched-to-ue5/#disqus_thread
I am a RBR user since 2004 !
EA Sports WRC is not a replacement but a very competent extremely fun and hopefully long lasting alternative game for those who seek the true rally car experience !
I am only talking about the car experience here, Not the game components like career mode, livery editors and such!
Definitely a lot of cars to choose from.
Same here, RBR enthusiast. I played DR 2.0 and i am playing this EA WRC right now.
the game is really fun but they do need to fix a lot of issue like Telemetry, way to turn off TAA and Chromatic aberration and so on.
@@marc-andrehogue114
Yes they definitively need to fix all performance issues but apart from that it's a very positive direction for all rally game/sim fans all over !
Seems like they put in a lot of time, thought, effort and money into this !
Everything from menus, FFB, audio, graphics to stages and cars are top notch !
Can hardly wait until my new PC parts arrive later this week !
Keep up the good work Codemasters !
@@marc-andrehogue114 agreed
The question is: For how long will ypu play it? Day? Week? 2 years? Or will you just come back to great racing which means iracing and ACC?
That's the point.
That's why I'm not gonna spend any money on it I have dort 2.0 to play twice per year.
Yeah man you gotta do what’s good for you. For some people it’s a few times a year. And others that’s what they like to play. I like variety so I like to play a little of both.
Actually wrc cars are faster and have more grip on snow then they have on gravel. rally sweden is held in the town where i currently live and it is one of the fastest rallies of the calendar. I went to the erc royal rally of scandinavia this year which is also held in sweden but on gravel and it is much slower and more sliding then on snow.
That’s awesome!
Oh huh and here I thought it seemed strange that the Sweden stages in DR2.0 were so quick. But yeah my experience in snow is that it's pretty grippy if your tires are decent, as long as it's not loose over ice. And of course in a rally they'd have full on studs I assume.
On dirt rally 2 there was alot of dirt on the cars, in wrc 23 there is almost none.....
I haven’t really compared that too much. I have seen dirt on my cars. But yeah it very well could be I’ll actually look next time I play.
Yes, Dirt Rally looks really better in most scenes, better lighting, better textures, better folio, but the interior textures looking better in wrc 23. Handling is a mixture from Dirt 4 and Dirt Rally 2.0.@@Bratmouse1
No VR and no triple screen support! Yeah they say that this will come later but its still a huge disappointment for game launching in this day and age. But no UDP output, seriously!! That is a total non starter for me and without it makes the game pure arcade. No thank you. EA/Codemasters ruin another driving sim licence.
I agree with no VR and triple screen support. That’s bad for sure.
UDP telemetry output is used by just about every third party hardware/software add on that the majority of driving game players use to enhance their driving experience. Every other major driving game includes UDP output. To not support this is total insanity!@@Bratmouse1
@@RonniePetersonthey have made some mistakes for sure which I agree with. But it won’t stop me from playing it. Mainly because those issues don’t affect me. Apart from the performance issues. But yeah for the people that use all that stuff it is a huge disappointment for sure. And with such a big company as EA in the modern gaming world for sure it should have it. Your 100% correct.
Just an FYI. Gamer muscle says your totally, completely wrong to like this game. His opinion is the only one that matters and you should be ashamed of yourself for having fun...🤣
Lol. Love the sarcasm! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!
Everyone needs to remember that this game is sanctioned by the WRC . The WRC is a racing organization and is looking to use this association with a game developer to promote the sport. A sport that is not as popular as other motorsports. So it needs to appeal to the masses to a certain extent. The more popular WRC becomes the more it may encourage other developers to make Rally titles.
A full sim would not bring in enough revenue due to it's niche market. On that note , if they put in an option in this game to have full blown sim handling I predict the following would happen. People who are casual gamers and not sim racers would try this mode and not have sufficient skills to take full advantage because the community would encourage them to believe unless they they play on that level the game is mickey mouse. The result being the game being declare a piece of crap. Human nature being what it is. The exact opposite of the intention on this game to promote the sport from the WRC's perspective and to make money from the developers perspective. This game seems to be a good comprimise.
I liken it to Golf. If you never played the game watching on TV can be as exciting as watching as watching paint dry . But, if you have ever played a round or two , watching the skill of the pro's is quite fixating.
Yup!
I remember in late 90s when rally was the shit.im glad they covered that era to.i play that the most.Nothing beats the line up of Gronnholm,Makinen,Martin,mcRae,Burns,Loeb,Sainz,Rovanpera,Duval,Panizzi.Was the best ever time in rally.hope that more cars are comming.like the octavia,accent,evo Vii,307 and so on.
@@myni82 The Hyundai Accent might be the worst car to ever make it into WRC... hahaha... but I still hope they put it in the game someday... but who am I to judge... I still run in the Seat Cordoba with the gorgeous Repsol livery and the super loud screaming engine while every other "boring" person out there runs in Loeb's Xsara... 😋
I think today's rallying is really underrated... these new Hybrid monsters are really really REALLY amazing... and the currenty WRC roster is really impressive... Kalle Rovampera (he achieved more in 3 years than his dad in 15... sorry dad, you did your best... hahahaha), Thiery Neuville, Ott Tanak, Sebastian Ogier, Elfin Evans... all are incredibly fast... hope my boy Takamoto Katsuta will challenge for the title someday... he's improving a lot but he's no Kalle...
These 500HP monsters they drive are so fucking fun to watch... people just need to tune in and watch the really long stages where they all show their shit...
FInally, RIP Craig Breen... such a shame we lost him... such a tragic unlucky death... his co-driver wasn't even scratched... Craig had the passion and raw pace to dance with the best of them...
After playing this for a couple days, with the improved physics, this is absolutely a sim. The damage model will never be completely realistic but the overall feel is nothing short of impressive.
@@myni82 absolutely!
Graphics - blurry and ugly on PS5. And stuttering.😢 Why?
Graphics weren’t priority 1 for EA. This is an ugly game comparing to GT7, Forza, or Motorfest.
Thats a good question. I wish I could help you buddy!
XBSX is pretty poor, graphically, too. Hitches, screen tear, and textures not fully loading on time, etc. This game needs 6 months of patches and updates. At present, visually and performatively, Dirt 2.0 is superior. Also, seems to be a complete lack of any graphic options on XBSX.
@@philipford6183 that’s unfortunate
It is totally s***… that is why there was not even a single review on ps5/xbsx A joke… very good for ps3. Cannot even play with handbrake/cannot even adjust the degrees/ cannot even adjust the graphics. Generations is by far much better than this trash…
More ranting than actual review.
A lot about graphics which is not that relevant.
Sound? You chose a car that was used for marketing of this game and the one that is iconic. Obviously those would be fine. How about those less popular, I heard that quality is not consistent across the car pool.
I disagree with all that fun bs. It leads to the point where devs are afraid to punish players for mistakes because everyone wants to be a champion within an hour and without effort. It gives us superficial and simplistic games so players don't feel dumb and don't get discouraged. Is this where we want to go? I agree though that market is too small to get anything better now and maybe we need to appeal to the masses first so it grows.
In terms of returning policy. I don't think 2h is enough to find out. You need to set up gear first.
I value that you shared your exp and opinions about snow etc. Was worth to listen just for that.
I agree game is fun. So is NFS in some manner.
I’m sorry you didn’t like the review. Maybe you should make video and I’ll tear it apart. Oh wait I wouldn’t do that. I do this for fun and that’s what I do it for. I’m not an expert on video games, I’m not an expert reviewer, I’m not an expert script writer. All that I am is a guy with 32 years of real life racing experience and trying to bridge the understanding between real and sim racing. And above everything All that TH-cam channels are, are that persons opinions and that’s all it is. As far as “punishing players and making it to easy” how far are you up the leaderboards? This like any rally game before it is extremely challenging. As far developers giving us simplistic games that’s not what I’m saying. Those comments are based on some of the most rediculous things I’ve been reading for the past week. Do I need it to be full “so called simulation” no. Do I want it to be “NFS” no. I’m just saying there is too many people complaining in this world about everything. And it needs to stop. People need to enjoy themselves more. So with that being said. Again I’m very sorry for this video not being up to your standards. It is a ton of work to make these videos hours and hours and hours. So for someone to tear it apart is exactly what I’m talking about with social media. All that I’m trying to do is share my love gaming and racing to fellow like minded people. Thanks again!
It's not about tearing apart. I don't think I was disrespectful.
I'm not raising star of sim racing and I don't care to be one. All I want is to have a believable journey where I can improve and have a satisfaction from that. Fun means different things to different people. Some people enjoy struggling to see improvement later. I mentioned NFS because it's fun in a different way than this game was expected to be. Even "easy" NFS was bashed for rubber banding in recent instalments.
So you are saying you are not pro editor, writer etc.? Well maybe that's why it's not a pro review. But does it have to be? No. Is it wrong to point things out. Also no.
But you say you have 32 years of exp in real life. Why don't you expose what you have best? As I said, real exp is what is the best about this review. Everyone can talk about graphics, besides we can see it more or less. If you think graphic needs to be discussed more in your review, it's ok. It's your review and you don't have to appeal to the masses. That's would certainly not be up to my standards.:) But telling you what we, your audience, like or dislike is something more useful than all-round positive feedback only.
You say that basing on your exp no game could ever be a real sim and does not have to be. Ideal is not meant to be reached but are we closer or further in comparison to other games? Where are we? You are the guy with exp here. Tell us what would you like to have in this game that is not there that could add some realism so we could feel a bit of sth that you were lucky to exp in RL. This is something you can offer in comparison to others.
Is it wrong that people are ranting about the game? I don't think so. For me personally it's another half baked game in recent weeks. I'm sure cm will fix it after some time but is it fair to ask full price if you need to wait so the game is fully ready? Is it ok that reviews before release are most often overly positive so reviewers are not cut off next time (in general)? That's why we don't trust devs and reviews anymore and people are suspicious about everything so negative reviews getting more attention, which means there is more of them. Is it our, gamer's fault?
Apart from that, the game does not have sandbox map where you can practice freely. DR2 had. But WRC has that driving school thing which is step into right direction on terms of accessibility without easing.
@@MishimaHunter Thank you for replying! I appreciate the clarification. I definitely would like to compare things more to RL. But unfortunately those videos don’t do very well. Which is unfortunate. I don’t know why? So I try to keep it more gaming oriented. And yes I do agree with you on your points. The game isn’t finished. And I wish it had some more things in it for sure. But I still enjoy playing it. I have been playing video games since the early 90s and I don’t think I have ever played the perfect game. Yes there are some reviews out there you can clearly see they have been bought and paid for. But my channel has no sponsors. I was not given early access etc… Everything I said was my own opinion and truly how I felt. I am a sucker for Rally! Lol
I like the game too because it has some things DR2 hasn't. Well, too bad RL stuff doesn't sell but it also says a lot about what people expect about games (?). Of course we can easily say your review is not bought by EA - would show up earlier. All the best in your yt'er journey, I will drop by from time to time.
@@MishimaHunter thanks!
RBR fanboys will NEVER buy this game because they're scared... they're afraid they might actually like it and have to admit that all their shitting on every rally game is an absolutely huge exaggeration...
Look man... RBR fanboys are HIPSTERS... they play a 20 year old game that looks like shit... yes, it's has good physics ...sometimes very good... but the 100% realistic physics they claim it has is a huge exaggeration... rally cars are more controllable in real life than in RBR and RBR is overall more slidey than real life where to do a full powerslide through a corner you need to push to the absolute limit...
In reality this new WRC game is more realistic than RBR because they captured the reason why rally is so hard and challenging... it's not that the cars are hard to control... real rally cars are very very controllable... the challenge is the nature of the terrain... they race on insanely rough surfaces... and this game shows it PERFECTLY... Safari Rally is so rough and bumpy... Swedish snow is so treacherous and can spin you at any moment if you touch outside the paved road... the rough Gravel of Chile and Greece when degraded by previous runners can be a real killer... while the degradation on the soft dirt of portugal and Sardenia can make the ruts so deep that you need to wrestle with the car all day long...
Tarmac is nothing more than good-ish... but tarmac feels bad in every rally game including RBR... rally cars behave so different on tarmac compared to normal race cars because of their insanely short gearing and driving style that every developper has massively struggled to capture it... I can tell you that with the right tuning you can realistically drift the rally cars in this WRC game on tarmac but you need to push them crazy hard which I think it's kinda realistic and for a rally video game is realistic enough because as I said, no rally video game is that good on tarmac...
Anyway... to the original point... don't expect RBR hipsters to ever acknowledge anyone or anything outside of their brainwashed cult... RBR is a good game... great even... but it has been ridiculously exaggerrated at this point...
RBR is far from realistic!. Most Sim nerds can't drive a real car so they think if it's hard to control it's realistic! Some sims understeers on tarmac in 50km/h on a normal bend, quite insane for a tuned car... EA WRC is far from perfect, especially the graphics imho 'cause it looks like a 10 year old game. And I play on ULTRA settings.... But it's still fun and if you need something else than Dirt2 to play this is the one.
Yes for some reason people think hard is realistic. I hav duet to play any “sim” period that feels like the real thing.
@@LarsaNo1 I do wish also the graphics would be better.
@@LarsaNo1 What I'm saying is that based on my car knowledge I'd say EA WRC is more realistic than RBR in handling... 4WD cars are really understeery on tarmac (cause 4WD is really really understeery, even on race cars... which is why all road race cars are RWD) ... also in this game you can push the car into a controlled slide on tarmac if you push hard enough...
Also it has great feeling on snow and ice where the wheel becomes super light like it should (especially on Monte Carlo ice) .
As for gravel, I think the cars turn and slide easily but without going all over the place which is from what I've gathered from rally drivers close to how real rally cars drive...
Anyway... this new game is what I would call "close enough" to a sim... no game will ever be a perfect sim but this game feels more real than any other rally game I've played
