    Old content with new tech would be fair, but it would be hard not to still know the stages even with changes

    Place: Black hole, stage: event horizon.  Its really fast and narrow!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Staggerd starts should be based on your some sort of lottery for position.  Whatever is real, or for gameplay purposes. If you are first there would be no ruts, lines, and similar .  you now would have deal with being the rabbit with no lines to follow, and the challenges that come with that, like less grip in corners. Like you said, really hard turns with buildup is really all that is needed and would be real.  But maybe an occasional random  rut where there is a an off. There could be a soft rut over the entire stage to simulate you being farther back in the run. This would be a second copy pre-made stage.  Possibly a couple textures showing others lines, similare to skidmarks like we have now, but dont dissapear . Another random addition determined by your position could be time of day and weather.  Weather could be rain approacing, or the event/location having an exceptionally dry period, were position would cause visibility differences (i.e. heavy dust in finland) What do you all think, would this add enough random challenge for replay-ability?

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Great news, except this part: "it may be a sequel, it may be something a bit unique and different". Call me paranoid if you wish, but maybe we're not getting another rally game this next time around? I think Rally in some form is part of the DiRT DNA but it may be more Rally Raid (Dakar/Baja) with FiA:WRX.  I love rally and would really really like to see a DR2 ++ but if they give us trucks next time around with current physics and a lot of features like we have wished for in DR, that will be fine for me too.   BUT honestly I would like a sequel with a upgraded engine, upgraded damage/mechanical, as a base that is solid and move it to a PCars type of content, where new stuff is released every 6 weeks or so.  I'd even pay into a alpha program like WMD PCars just for something to do and play around with as it progresses. If they state up-front that here is the base content (enough for money well spent) then DLC the H**L out of it, I'd gladly pay (adding Trucks then).  I don't have piles of $$ laying around, this is my hobby and its a pretty cheap on in comparison to many.  At the end of the year I spent $100+, I'm good with that, as long as I get a game with more than a years worth of playability, which DR is starting to stretch that now. Really the ONLY direction they could go that would honestly disappoint me, is Quads/Bikes.  I know they are part of Raid in RL, but I have never seen a good way to simulate a bike experience outside of an arcade type of plastic bike where you can lean, etc.  Besides, I am just not interested in playing with bikes.  This is just my opinion, and many may want it.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    All I hope for with what ever comes next is hoping they have enough cashflow to go after some licensing and or deals like they did with WRX.  Baja/Dakar/Mint 400/Prerunners all would be a nice expansion or DiRT4 like game.  I would like to see some trucks with the new physics and new graphics bits.   And just do it right, like DR, all the base is there, just branch out.

    Nope I'm genuinely not messing. Its like when we were being teased by Lee, it has come full circle once more :)  Well, it must be big in some way or you wouldn't even tease.  But if you start with that 4 thing or 128, I'll personally swim over there and shove a keyboard up your arse :smiley: AND then I'll pay @MastaVonBlasta wire it up from there xD

    Welp that answers that:   http://m.ign.com/articles/2016/04/11/closed-driveclub-developer-becomes-a-new-codemasters-studio "Fellow UK developer Codemasters has bought the studio, and will keep it as a separate team, working on its own games from the same offices."

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I dont think DR engine needs overhauled or that its old, just some fundamental features that have been missing.  Some features that have never been in any CM title that other racing titles have long had now.  Probably this is going to affect Grid and F1 more than DR.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I guess I end up always posting a bunch of questions, I'm not going to stop with this gossip!  It maybe too early since Sony very recently 'dumped' Evolution Studios.  But here goes.. Will the team be integrated into current teams, or will they reform their own team to work on separate titles?   What about their track record with Drive Club, great game, but terrible launch. Has DR and F1 really pumped a lot of $$ into Codies?  I have my doubts about F1 sales, also seems early with DR sales just coming in. How big of a change is this going to effect future titles? good/bad? I don't like discussing or gossiping about CM financial state, but with the downsizing of about 18months ago, I think its a interesting topic. If they are to be integrated into current teams and bring their tech over to share, then this could be a very cool thing!  We all have discussed the EVO engine needing updated with some modern(?) features (cough cough REPLAYS - selfish want).  Drive Club had some pretty awesome tech in it and the artists made it even better.  It will be cool to see how this pans out. These questions are probably NOT going to be answered by CM, nor should they really, but I think this thread is the place to talk about it.

    I do too, but how would you do it and still have the sim understand the difference between doing it on purpose (clutchless) and accidentally missing a shift?

    We just need some seeds, can't grow anything with out seeds.  Someone needs to feed us something to motivate the theories

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I have often made the comment why this car was not playable at Pike Peak, there must be some really odd licenses required from Ford.  Maybe because its modified.   PP wouldnt feel quite so empty? if we had more than 4 cars.  Not that Im complaining, it woud just add to it.   Personally i would like to see a couple of less aggressive cars to run up, like a subaru or something. Didnt mean to sound like a rant, more of a curiosity

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Please no opinions about financial/business reasons, only thinking about design reasons. Question:     Do we really care more about diffrent color pallets over locations?  If two places look similar, does that mean only one should be picked?  Isn't there something different about each location?  Could different looking stages be picked from locations that have similar pallets?

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Oh no its the "some future title" line all over again.. Well at least we can be assured that Codies can put out a very good Rally game now.  Hope management knows the high bar has been set, both for communication (ea) and realism. Any future titles hopefully live up to up to the simulation standards that has been set.

    500 pages of off-topic ramblings, nonsensical hypotheses and car-name arguments #S1E22B And yet this thread is legendary enough that its refered to in every live show.  Also the name of the forums on PS4 if im not correct, but that will never be the origional (here)

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Someone that is not looking at the gameplay or physics so much and just comparing raw data/graphics says a lot for Codemasters.  It sounds like DOING THE PC VERSION FIRST, testing over here, getting it right, then do the best port possible.  This is defiantly the right formula.  I am extremely biased :) Besides we like to gloat how good it is and torture you guys on consoles, though it lost its fun (like a cat) after so long.  xD
