All things... pudding?ShouldBeThere said:
I'm British and I don't even know what one of those is.bogani said:Oh come on. You brits only like wobbly jelly stuff with fruits in them. Yuk

No worries, @urgaffel declared Kexchoklad the best anyways.
:p

As if. Kexchoklad is the shieeet.Dytut said:@urgaffel , we need a Swedish perspective on the snacks. Are they better than kexchoklad? -
Oi! Don't forget about pizza. The kebab kind.tbtstt said:
It's fruit @ChristinaMc. You should be tweeting about the big issues. Like tea, cake or burgers.ChristinaMc said:
Inane?! HOW DARE YOU.tbtstt said:
Meanwhile, somewhere at Codemasters, @ChristinaMc is sitting at her desk laughing at the fact that the members of a forum are so desperate for news that they have resorted to dissecting an inane tweet about fruit.RallyDriven said:Hang on, hang on. I might be going crazy here, so bear with me. What if, and bear with me here, what if we’ve been overlooking something? What if, and please bear with me, what if Christina has been leaving clues in the codemasters fruit reviews?

But it what does it mean?

If they got hands on the WRC license, what if they somehow could utilize the data from the rather impressive Virtual Spectator WRC broadcasters used a few years back? -
RallyDriven said:If we did get a wrc game from codemasters, I’m torn between whether I’d want replicas of real stages or an improved your stage system. I think the best thing about your stage is you could actually have a proper rally of up to 22 stages like real wrc, rather than just running 1 or 2 stages per event cut up and reversed
Replicas would be ace, but as you say, they can't create many of them.Your Stage would have to improve alot. If I were to do a 22 stage event in Wales as is in Dirt4 I would probably hang myself. 22 "unique" stages that all felt strangely like the exact same stage over and over and over :(

WRC 7 rubbished the 3 or 4 short stages per location theory. Some of the longer ‘Epic’ stages for each location were fantastic. They also had real-life areas stitched into the stages that you could clearly recognise from actual tv footage.
Someone mentioned older drivable cars instead of the ‘on rails’ WRC cars. Have you watched a WRC round? The car movement is phenomenal with 4 wheel mental powerslides everywhere. I’d like that...Yeah, but didn't WRC7 consist of 1 short super special and then 3/4 short stages and those ones stitched together also made up the so called Epic stage? Still not convinced.
-
WRC7 was much better than earlier games but still wasn't more than OK in my opinion. It had it's traits but still too many flaws to really make me enjoy it fully.
Some of the stage design was excellent though, a part from Sweden and Finland. -
My initial thoughts on Codies having the WRC license has always been that there are too much restrictions, putting out a yearly game etc, but I'm also a bit excited if they would have a shot at it.KevM said:So then, Would people actually prefer WRC 8 or DiRT Rally 2?
My fear about it though, is that having all 14-16(?) rounds would mean going back to 3-4 short stages per country. And if they want to get Your Stage working with it? 3-4 tiles per country? Wouldn't really work.
I'd rather see something like the ERC if they go down the license road. Focus on 6-7 locations and make them properly. ERC has a few spectacular ones as well. -
Yep, if V-Rally 4 is coming out later this year Kylotonn obviously have known that they won't be doing WRC 8 for quite some time.warpengage said:
Maybe the contract with WRC was signed even before WRC 7 came out. If Kylotton and BigBen's contract only specified X amount of games and they knew 7 was their last one, makes sense why they already had registered V-Rally. They were already planning something to fill the inevitable gap that would open in the studio's production pipeline. This is, of course, speculation on my part.KevM said:Surely WRC license renewal doesn’t just come up for grabs on the last day of the old contract. For continuity, it’s likely discussed and tendered months/years before its lapse. Could work have started on it months/years ago, with DiRT 4 (repeating tiles based stages) thrown out as a gap filler? They’d effectively have been tied to the WRC 8 release date being late 2018 even from day 1 of the Kylotonn contract starting?
Hmmm.... -
I think he means another clip where someone says "our enviromental team is hard at work" and you can see a roadmap of some sort that is clearly a road, not a circuit.carpa said:
I think there was a printed map of the new Silverstone Rallycross circuit laying on a table innthe Codies office. You could see it in a picture they took. That would still involve the WRX licence though and it could mean nothing.ShouldBeThere said:
Judging from the fact @ChristinaMc said she dropped hints about Dirt 4 in several road books, i'd say the clues are all there and they must have been working on something other than Dirt 4. The clubs patch was largely thanks to the racenet team I'd have thought...KevM said:They couldn’t not be doing SOMETHING?? Not after D4. It’s not the game you put your feet up after, is it?
Do the DiRT guys have any involvement in that OnRush carry-on?
Id be ultra-frustrated if that’s what they have all been doing since DiRT 4 :/
I’ll say it again, this Radio silence is really really worrying. Someone must know something???!
Wasn't there that brief glimpse of a possible new environment in the Codemasters behind the scenes video? Clutching at straws here.
Edit: Couldn't find it but did find a post from ChristinaMC stating that OnRush team is different and the DiRT team are their own separate entity.
I genuinely kept an eye for potential hints in roadbooks (dear lord what am I doing with my life) but I haven't found any. And there haven't even been that many road books recently... -
I think devs often overlooks the importance of having well thought out setups. Only a few percent of the player base understand car dynamics well enough to tinker with the setups, and even if they do they just don't bother.RallyDriven said:
I’ve never touched setups before because I don’t understand it at all, but after looking at some tutorials on YouTube for dirt 4, the game is starting to make a lot more sense. The default setups make the handling seem awfuldgeesi0 said:wrc 7 is a decent game some things are up there with dirt rally some are not. its a solid 8/10. dirt rally id say 9/10. some things so simple are bad in it though and frustrating. it does bug me when big studios make big titles and miss such basics. bubbles me :#
most rally racing games dont cater for car set ups. only title that seems to do this well recently is f1 games. why the rally games dont follow suit really destroys my mind thinking about it. for eg la la is top of tables. all you do is click that person name and copy set up done ! this needs to happen in the rally games or make the default set ups good from the start . if you dont understand how to set up the cars you are instantly at a disadvantage. in recent dirt games there hasnt been any real showing of how to do this and working in practice ! make it so people have a fair balance and have the same set ups.then it becomes purely about driving rallying. skill. not having a better set up.
gui menu system. often a over thought. one of my pet hates in games is a bad menu system to navigate.the process of playing or accessing anything should be the least steps possible. especially with wheel settings. think of how many times you get a new game and sit there infuriated trying to set controls.this is basics and very important.
im hoping the next few big titles start to nail some of these basics that big studios keep missing.maybe making the perfect game or as close as possible
There should be an advanced system for those who like to play around with setups, but also simple things like choosing if you prefer a stable understeering car or a lively oversteering car.
I really like they way Project Cars 2 utilizes the engineer in this case where you by simple options and statements explain what you want or where you have a problem, and the engineer suggests what changes needs to be made. -
I thought the trailer looked quite bad to be honest. But let's see how it turns out. -
Slightly Mad Studios? Who knows.Areyouben said:Could very well be Codies taking the license. Kylotonn with V-Rally, Milestone with Gravel. Who is left that could be doing the next WRC? -

Evans seems to feel the pressure now that he's on equal terms with Ogier. -
Loeb just clinched his first stage win on the second pass through El Chocolate. He's bang on the pace! -
Since it's silence, here is an awesome interview with Markus Grönholm. It's in norwegian and swedish, but english subs. Well worth a watch, Grönholm is an extremely entertaining man :)

I just thinks Wales a bit too twisty and bumpy for my taste. It's also extremely repetitive as you always get the same tile for entering the forest and the same tile for exiting the forest. Add the god awful moore sections with zero flow and very bad notes. It's just very frustrating.
I think the open field sections in Michigan are my favourite. It's fast, narrow and relatively flat. -
As I said before, if they add the time penalty to the stage that you were late for, the loophole disapears. 30 seconds or more added to the power stage surely means zero PS-points.RallyDriven said:
Yeah, that’s why I feel they will have to do something about this. They have tv schedules to stick to, they can’t have everyone using up all their permitted lateness to try and get better road positions. Ogier did get some kind of penalty for it, but I’m not quite sure how international time works. On national time in the UK you wouldn’t get a penalty for doing that unless you were over your permitted lateness (often 15-30 minutes depending on the rally), in which case you would be Over Time Limit (OTL) and be retired from the eventversedi said:Should we expect Mexico 2018 Tactics on PS where everyone will try to go later than the other? ;)
That will be problematic for All Live :P
Update: And he actually got a 4.20 penalty this time.
Not sure, but you get 10 seconds for each minute you're late to a TC? -
Sneaky and smart don't have to be different things ;)tbtstt said:
Yep. And then Tanak hit him!DiRTKiNG808 said:Yes it did. After the impact with the snow bank.
Some are saying that Ogier was sneaky, but I'd say it was a smart move. I'm sure that came from the team as well and he wouldn't have been doing it unprompted. Very surprised that Citroen didn't tell Meeke to do the same thing. Four more points that Ogier might have missed and a bit of damage limitation for the lost points in his Championship campaign.
EDIT: I may not have given enough credit to Citroen. I just saw a post on another forum that Meeke didn't hand his timecard in at the end of the rally, so apparently he can get a "free" engine for Mexico:
FIA Sporting Code:
64.2.3 When a car does not finish a rally, an extra engine per seasonally allocated car number may be allowed without incurring a penalty. No more than 2 extra engines per seasonally allocated car number and per season may be sealed without incurring any penalty.
When an extra engine is used, the engine which was fitted on a retired car (seasonally allocated car number) may not be used any further during the season (see Art. 64.1.4).
However, it will be a pretty laughable situation next year when there is a que of factory cars deliberately arriving too late to the start of the powerstage if they are out of any points scoring position and want a better road position.
The only solution I see fit to redeem this type of thing is that you add the penalty time to the actual stage time of the SS that you arrived late to. Boom. Done. -
The narural flow of the road has gone missing to some extent with Your Stage sadly. It's so many strange off cambers and bumps that make driving more of a hassle than a joy. Wales is equally frustrating.Porkhammer said:
Yeah Dirt 4's Sweden was pretty poor for some reason.KevM said:I dunno. To me, Sweden in DR are probably the best rounded stages in the game. They suit the V2 handling to a T. They are technical & get you into a real rhythm. If the stage clicks for the driver, you can properly commit. & the change in surface really mixed things up.
i played D4 Sweden maybe twice in total.... The handling & the stages just didn’t gel like before
I prefer Michigan since it's pretty flat with lots of crests instead of bumps. -
Btw, am I alone in thinking D4 uses different scaling? When I switch from D4 to DR everything seems much more narrow in D4. The Swedish roads for example seens much more realistic in width through dash cam in Dirt Rally. I just perceive it as it's easier to see the road ahead in DR.
I double checked with Codies that 0.6 FOV is the exact same value in both titles btw.
