2 pointsThat there is the giveaway answer as to why certain games are easier, or rather more forgiving than others. Mistakes being PUNISHED. In the F1 games as long as you're not deliberately trying to wreck the car almost any mistake will just lose you a couple of seconds. In real life you constantly see frustrated superstar drivers walking angrily back to the pits after a tiny misjudgment. It is that sense of watching them constantly driving right on the edge that inspires awe in us viewers. I just randomly watched a Nurburgring F1 race from the late 90s yesterday. It was full of incidents, mistakes and lead changes and was fascinating to watch. That kind of spectacle just won't happen in an f2 game unless a driver is spectacularly incompetent or deliberately sets out to cause mayhem. When the cost of a single loss of control can effectively ruin your tires ability to remain competitive THAT is realism.

2 pointsI honestly found WRC 8 to be inferior to WRC7 in both handling (with a controller) and graphically, and its UI to be atrocious. 30fps on even the most powerful console available was a joke frankly. And I don't see any improvement in the above video. My impression is 'why do they bother'. I seriously doubt this studio will ever be capable of a game anywhere near the quality of DR.

2 points@BarryBL This should be the engine sound benchmark, a simple assetto corsa mod got the real sound so right the whines, rumbles pops, correct rev sound etc.....

1 pointThe dashboard animations for Ferraris with a certain type of dash are displaying RPM in the wrong way. This might seem like a fairly minor problem and I'm grateful dashboard view was included at all in this game without making a big deal out of it before release (I remember the outcry about dashboard view prior to the release of the previous game.), but I think this could be worth fixing since you guys are required to make the cars look like their real life counterparts. I wanted to wait after the Season 3 content dropped to see if this got fixed but seeing how this bug is still present, I thought I'd report it. I checked the last couple of pages of this sub-forum and couldn't find a report about it yet. Example 1: Ferrari FXX (image #1) The animated part of the display is the black bars which go from left to right depending on how much RPM you're using. However, this is wrong, and indicated in red. The correct animation should be a full display of the black bars filling up the entire display from left to right which would then be filled by the white bars replacing the black ones, depending on RPM. The white bars on the dashboard are already included in the template, marked in green, but it's been applied incorrectly. Example 2: Ferrari 599XX Evo (image #2; image #3, edited for clarity) The same problem exists for the Ferrari 599XX Evo. The white bars aren't part of the template for this one, but the issue is the exact same. Instead of the black bars' (red) numbers increasing with RPM, they should instead get filled with white bars. Image #3 from a different currently available racing game shows the correct way of displaying the dash regarding black and white bars. Example 3: Ferrari 430 Challenge (not pictured) Same problem as Example 1. I went back and checked. Ferraris not affected by this bug: Ferrari 488 GTE, Ferrari 330 P4, Ferrari 365 GTB4 Competizione Ferraris I did not check/don't remember: Ferrari 512 BB LM, Ferrari F430 Challenge Platform: PC, Windows 10, Steam Game Version: 1.0.119.3988 Game Mode: All of them I like racing the cars using the dashboard view, so I hope this can be addressed in a future update. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thank you. Stay safe, everyone! Images:

1 pointyikes. those graphics and lighting remind me of Dirt 2... Dirt 3 looked significantly better than this because the lighting was so good (or something... I don't know ass about this technical stuff) now that the WRC series is back to yearly releases, I think we should be treating it like FIFA or other sports games that come out every year. you buy them for the new locations and to have the updated teams, but otherwise there isn't going to be a lot of difference other than small changes (hopefully improvements). I liked WRC 8 for the different locations from DR2, and for the different interpretations they had for the locations that were in both games. the tarmac was also fun (as opposed to Spain in DR2 - DR2's Germany and MC are fine in my opinion). but otherwise... there's like 5 cars in the game. WRC 9 will have 15 classic cars? DR2 has 42 (ie not R2/R5/RGT) in rally. also WRC series does not have RGT. the 1 bonus car in WRC 7 doesn't really count, does it?

1 pointI dont think it's fair to suggest people who use certain legitimate options in a racing game are "morons". Your post pretty much hints that pad and assists users are of limited intelligence? If however you are referring solely to those people to whom a clean race is a complete waste of time then I would agree with you and can think of some far more 'interesting' words than 'moron'! 😁

1 pointI'm gonna pre-order Forza Horizon 5 and Cyberpunk 2077, how about that.

1 pointNo, it's not related to the beta. There is an entry for Twitter, Twitch and YT. My profile is blocked at 67% complete because I don't have Twitter. It needs fixing really. The dismiss button is OK but each time you sign in the prompt comes back. Not cool. Some other metric needs putting on the field completion.

1 pointIf you feel like opening 200+ lobbies for that 1 lobby where someone is driving with no assists be my guest. Lobbies is dramatic in form of filtering and showing what assists are used. Now you have to open each lobby, go to assist tab and when it's not what you want and back out YOU GO TO THE FRIGGIN HOMESCREEN IN STEAD OF BACK TO LOBBIES! whoever designed that needs to be fired. Omg. and screw business model. F1 is a FAN sport, and FANS want a so close to real SIMULATION. That includes handling.

1 pointAustralia is not anything special in this game. If they made it more nostalgic with having it on the West Coast and naming stages after real places in history. I'm uncertain if they could call a stage Bunnings as that's one of Australia's biggest Hardware stores. But after regions, forrests or roads. Create a Super Special Stage right in the city along the water! Langley Park...

1 pointI also think time trial should be generic the same as the multiplayer car and/or base 11th team car.

1 pointI wish this game was more simulation than arcade. I’d rather pay 100 euros/pounds for a game that gives us the best experience than one that does not.

1 pointThis. Basically this is why remasters of racing games are really, really rare. Not a single Gran Turismo, Forza... hell, even Sega can't properly re release Outrun because their deal with Ferrari expired years ago (the car is slightly updated in latest ports). There are a lot of lisences in these games, not only cars, but tracks, music, even the sponsors on the liveries. It is clearly not easy, as basically no one is doing it. The closest thing is GAS for Switch, which might be still on time to be re released without any lisencing issues.
