EA did F1 from 1999-2002 via Image Space Inc (rFactor), so it's a return of sorts, I suppose.

Interesting. I use a no-CD exe to run the original game (I don't think the StarForce protection bricks Win10, it just won't install/work (but don't quote me on that!). I've installed numerous StarForce games, then uninstalled StarForce and used no-CD exes fine.

A little detour, but art of rally seems to be reviewing well. And they even say "the handling here has more in common with Dirt Rally than Sega Rally", see here: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-22-art-of-rally-review-a-slight-yet-stylish-take-on-off-road-driving

My favourite bit in RBR was where you watched Richard do the rally school stage pre-recorded, it felt like watching a champion at work, compared to how I'd been driving!

Omega Rally Championship is a similar rally style game on Microsoft Store (Win10 as well as Xbox), but it has few cars and tracks and an unusual steering method, when you point your joystick/thumbstick in the direction you want the car to go. It feels really broken at first!

Looks like a more bouncy version of classic PC game Ignition (aka Bleifuss Fun in Germany I think)

Beep beep:
From their email:
What's up with the game?
It's almost complete and I've had to hire a bunch of people to help finish it including a producer, developers, and a community manager.
We'll be announcing concrete things soon, so it shouldn't be too long before it's in your hands on PC!
In other news, the game is also coming to GOG!
And Funselektor has a new silly logo too!-

Heh just found this thread searching for Monza Rally in games. There is a game with the event in, but it's a MotoGP title, Valentino Rossi - The Game! Here I show bits from Monza and Misano (a bonus rally track, I guess):
-

I picked up Street Legal Racing: Redline, which I had a long time ago, as it now seemed to contain rally style content, since new devs/fans have taken over (and I am making videos of every PC rally game on YouTube). I was somewhat disappointed to find that the rally stages in the game (and many other tracks) are just ripped from ToCA Race Driver 3.
I have no idea if Codemasters care about this, given the game is no longer in print, but I thought I would mention it.
-
They could do DLC, but I expect the focus will be debugging, once live 😉
-
Note that the VVV videos were captured in medium graphics settings, so it can look better I expect!

Interesting article here: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-06-22-dirt-5-feels-more-like-a-new-motorstorm-than-a-new-dirt-and-thats-okay
Made by ex-Evo team (Driveclub/OnRush) using their own engine, not EGO. New Dirt Rally game is coming too, separately (I would assume it might add some more WRC locations, so they can form the basis of the WRC games down the line, maybe).
-
Reminds me a lot of Sega Rally (Revo), especially blue skies wise! Then again, Codemasters did take them over. Bet the surface deformation isn't as fancy though 😁
-
I think it'd be cool to have something from every decade
-
Rushy lead the team behind Onrush, then Codemasters key him go, he joined Slightly Mad Studios and they were taken over by Codemasters lol

A bigger question is what happens if F1 adds extra tracks, like Imola, Mugello, Hockenheim or Portimao... 2020 real life season as DLC perhaps? Making new tracks won't be cheap 😕

More of the car models are in. Looks like one player can use driving aids and other not. I like the "part of the track is cloudy and part is overcast" thing.
But why is Montreal so hazy? I always think of it as one of the brightest, most colourful places, here it looks like somewhere in industrial China! The haze/fog definitely adds to the realism, but only if it's similar to what you'd see at the real life event 😁

WRC: DiRT?
I think it'll be based on Dirt Rally engine, as it's being used for so much eSports by real life drivers, they're not likely to dumb it down, surely? DiRT 5 onwards would more likely be the fun side of off-road racing.
Unless DiRT Rally continues to service WRX only, perhaps?
-
From the sound of the potential German Grand Prix replacing Silverstone, would Codemasters add that to the game? If so, how, if the 2020 season in game is nothing like the real life one?
Does anyone else think there should be an option in the championship/career mode to choose between the real-life 2020 calendar or the original intended one?
Codemasters may not get acquired by Take Two after all...

Yeah Ian Bell must be feeling a little uncomfortable, being Codemasters Executive Director, after bad mouthing EA back along 😕
