    But if you have the Xbox One X (at least), you can select '4k mode'. Even if your TV is not 4k (mine is not), the image will still be much sharper and clearer.

    If you play any Xbox One X game that can display at 4K, it'll supersample if your screen is of a lower resolution.

    If there’s one thing I’d love for you to take away from all this information is this: a 4K screen is not required to play great games on Xbox One X. Your games will still look and run much better on Xbox One X than any other console on the market regardless of your television and that’s thanks to supersampling. Supersampling also helps to reduce “jaggies” around the edges of objects and other staircasing-like effects

    Think of supersampling as the cousin of upscaling. Instead of taking a lower resolution image and blowing up (creating a distortion) like upscaling’s effect, supersampling takes a high-resolution image and scales it down to your television’s native resolution — be it 720p or 1080p — to bring all the information that Xbox One X is pouring into its games and beaming to the screen.

    But supersampling is more than just resolution as any Xbox One X Enhanced title running on at 1080p television is still taking advantage of the power of the system. That makes your draw distance better, greater special effects, and everything else that’s running under the hood of the world’s most powerful console.

    Sometime they fully transitioned to South America, because better event scheduling and politics I assume. Mostly racing trhough several Andean countries, especially Peru and Bolivia.

    From Wikipedia:

     

    Most events since the inception in 1978 were from Paris, France, to Dakar, Senegal, but due to security threats in Mauritania, which led to the cancellation of the 2008 rally, races since 2009 have been held in South America.[1][2][3]

    Sure. You need 66km in the DS21 and a clean stage at Monte Carlo, right? I could open a public lobby at a certain time, anyone who wants these achievements could join as well. 

    Yup, I'll need a few of those.

    Ping me on Xbox when I'm online (pretty much every evening) and I'll move over to DiRT Rally 2.0 to unlock them :classic_happy:

    What's the reason for no Toyota anymore?

    Apparently they just don't like being in games, and therefore tough to license

    I think the problem is just with Codies. They were in AC and some other games.

    Maybe, I'm not down with licensing to be honest, I've just heard people discussing Toyota being a bit of a hard nut to crack.

    It’s a more recent thing, the last 2 Forza titles have had only a small amount of Toyota cars (Baja truck, Hilux etc.) and none of the classics.

     

    The most recent Need for Speed had no Toyotas as well I believe.

     

    Gran Turismo Sport is a little more successful in this regard, already has the new Supra.
