    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    One thing we have to remember about race cars, and more so rally cars.  There are so many changes that can be made event to event.  If parts are shy a 5 speed could be swapped for a 6 and visa versa at an event.  Same with anti-lag can be 'tuned' even in at a service area.  Just like brakes/suspension/tires.  These can all very with supplies, damaged turbos, etc. I know for a fact, that Ken Block has his Fiesta tuned so that fuel is dumped so that backfires throw larger than usual flames, same goes with antilag.  I would thing this is part of the antilag tuning so, whatever, but I heard this straight from his mechanic at a US rally.   So from car to car the same model can sound differently.  Even air density can change the sound and the way a car runs. Anyhow, there are obvious cosmetic things, but engine and mechanical change all the time. Since the subject has been brought up, @kickup is there a reason that we don't hear much transmission whine?  There has been mention that certain mechanics haven't been modeled that sound can tie into properly, is this true for the transmission?  Its no issue for me but in some cars transmission whine is pretty dominate in real life.

    @KevM i would guess this will be a wait and see thing.  If the console community crys for it then it may be worth while.    I always wanted a lot more smoke/dust/dirt flying when you crashed at the right time, especially rolling the car.  Bumper covers coming off or hanging loose easier at least.

    @urgaffel  Don't know if you can elaborate, but is this "smoke and dust" a particle system or sprites?  It my limited knowledge, maybe these are one in the same?

    @dgeesi0  please dont lump his "style" with all of us Americans :neutral:  Despite what some of the media makes the world believe.  Most are not loudmouth nascar watching rednecks.   Sorry for bringing it up, kudos to this guy for making a living how he does.  He just irritates me. I guess i need to go back to my anger management group.  Aaaarrrgh!?!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    There is some gossip there.  It seems that the future is still unknown.  As much as we all have supported the game and team, there are still bean counters involved.  However, they are there to make sure the company stays afloat and turns profit, we just hope they have some heart in DR too.   The big reality hit for me is the mention of future EA, there is a chance that this will be the last time we could be involved in this capacity.  Again, I understand the reasoning @kickup stated.  If there is not a need to release it into EA, no need to complicate the extra work that EA involves with a release schedule and the headaches. No matter, I really really hope that it turns out they would be able to move onto a DiRT Rally 2.  This game should not be a one-off but a model for more RALLY titles coming from Codies.      I will probably repeat myself in the future until we have a confirmation of the future path.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I like thier trucks, but just like Assetto, the handling is really good, but the graphics are just meh.   We are really spoiled with DR, pretty close sim experience with excellent graphics and sound.  Such a cool place to be.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    @BadD0g @austinb  I completely understand what you guys are saying and I do agree. I think you misread what I was saying about WRC in the US, I meant if RA could attract a WRC class driver to compete in the series, it would make an interesting season.  Not expecting anyone named Sebastien :wink: , but who competes in WRC, maybe somebody that lost their ride and has contacts to back a season here. I know very well that a WRC event will never come back to America.  The laws, insurance and peoples fears are beyond comprehension here.    I hope I wasn't coming across as whining.  I have pretty much given up hope that DR and beyond would include any US location outside of Pikes Peak, and I am ok with that.  My therapist says its good to move on..  :smile:

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Diversity was mainly implied in the whole paragraph I typed. Unfortunately we have the same problem here: dominated by Higgins as of late, most of the top guys run Subarus (now). Block made it competitive, the 2013 season was the most exciting since the 2007/2008 seasons IMHO.   The 2wd class is a 'diverse' mix of cars and drivers winning.   I love my home events and the Rally events over here in general.  But without attracting other manufacturers and possibly a WRC driver or two, the top Open class is going to get boring for the drivers and spectating.   We have very small market with very little exposure.  It's one of the reasons why I used to be very vocal about having more US locations and Rally America involved (in addition to Europe) in DiRT Rally, to expose more people here in the US to Rally and get the word out.   Be be glad you have the WRC (and ERC) over there, don't take it for granted, it's still relevant no matter at least there are many manufacturers competing, despite the same driver winning.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I'll still watch GRC only for Subarus (dismal) involvement.   It will be interesting what Higgins will show up with at 100 acre woods, this year.  Subarus stage rally sometimes hints at thier RX program.   I wish Subaru had a program developed enough to compete in WRX, but that's a very steep mountain to overcome with thier current performances.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    The series is broadcast live on WRX site, correct?  Also, if it is live, is there a recording for viewing later?  With the huge time difference over here, they tend to fall at odd hours.  Hoping to watch every race this year, if only FIA would make some sort of deal with a US network to broadcast.

    A whole DiRTy Gossipers Forum on the PS4?  We should feel exploited!  XD

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I'm pretty convinced that what we will have after April, is the final chapter of DR.  Anything new will be for a future title.   It it does make a difference in what we could see in the next title if these where members of the DiRT art team, making a visit with some promotion stopd along the way.   A good question is, why would they take DiRT Rally to a Australian rally school for a marketing exploit?  A rather limited audience for the BIG Release push coming in April.

    Does anyone recognize any of these guys?  Do we have confirmation that they are on the art team?  If so, this is pretty good gossip.

    A Ryse Millen car would be cool, too.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    @tbtstt due to the lack of real cars that have ran full pavement at pikes peak, it would have been cool to add that car to the lineup.   I really wish they would have been able to add some of the modified "big wing" cars from Dirt2 as this would have been the proper event where you would see cars like these. I like PP a lot, but it would be fun to [R]un in a little tamer of a car than out right group b type of cars, if not just for variety. Hopefully PP will be a reoccurring guest in future titles.
