I'm prepared to kickstart funding to get Samirs co-driver in the game as an easter egg.gfRally said:Regarding the new codriver voices: Something that I did like in D3 were some of the remarks she said when you wrecked. It happens in real life, mostly on the negative/cursing side, but a wise a$$ remark is better for the kiddies.
Anyhow just like much of the polishing we are seeing in D4, this too would give the person next to you a little more life (Paul was very conservative in DR :) Hopefully this will return in D4 without making it too childish. -
Will we be able to see torque figures this time?KickUp said:
Our auto boxes now shift at peak torque.Jepsertti said:
Yeah I see :) So maybe there should be a lot less torque than there currently is after 5500rpm, so we would actually need to drive like in that video to be quick? That's what I meant with a more accurate torque curve, because I feel like the Evo X revs way too easily to that 7500rpm point... I might be wrong though, you seem to have a lot more experience with those cars in real life.EDDSkitz said:
I see what you're saying, they are just driving it like that to keep it in the torque band... look at the actual Rev meter in the middle, running about halfish....Jepsertti said:
You build Evo X R4 engines for a living? Hmm, weird. I've seen and heard lots of Evo X R4's in real life and it's quite clear that they're not revving nearly as much as in DiRT Rally. Take a look at this video for example:EDDSkitz said:
I build these engines for a living, red line is 7500 stock, and depending on turbo, als setup, etc... they will make power out past 10,500rpm.Jepsertti said:This thread has turned into Paul's Q&A :D Incredible that he's willing to answer our questions even though it's weekend!
@KickUp since you confirmed that the Evo X R4 is going to be in DiRT 4, have you guys fixed the interior of it so it's LHD with proper Motec display etc.? Also, hopefully it will have proper torque curve and stuff like that so it doesn't rev something like 7500rpm :) In real life they change gears at around 5000-5500rpm.
Hell, my turbo doesn't even spool till 4300.

The Evo X R4 should be driven with torque due to the nature of its engine in R4 spec. I know that there are some hill climb and rallycross Evo X's that easily rev over 7500rpm, but that's due to completely different rules. But watching that video you can quite clearly see how "wrong" the Evo X is in DiRT Rally so that's why I hope it would be more accurate in DiRT 4 :)
And I'll be running some races in a bit, but I felt the Evo would drive like this in the game too, I'll check. -
And did they have any kebab pizzas?Rallycameraman said:I've got another question for @KickUp if he doesn't mind.
How much tea was consumed by the team in the run up to the launch event as I imagine it was quite stressful times? -
Now THIS is pure gold ladies and gentlemen! Sounds epic!KickUp said:
It's quick fix, repair or replace. Not all parts can be replaced. The level of repair will determine the likelihood of that part failing later on. The time taken will depend on your crew.bogani said:
Can't give you a straight answer but I'm pretty sure the percentage system is gone. You will probably have to change parts or try to "quickfix" them with the risk of later failure. This is speculation upon whats been said and seen. I guess @Hatward can answer you if he feel like it ;)Areyouben said:How is damage repairs being handled this time? Still with a percentage bar where each % increment is a certain amount of time? Or will you have to replace certain unrepairable parts such as tires, as you wouldn't be able to repair a tire?
Part durability translates into our used car market, so you can choose to buy a **** box that needs all its parts replacing or a totally rebuilt car ready to race (if you can find one).
I feel kinda bad for asking too many questions as you have better things to do, but have anything been done to gear changes? Some were way too slow in DR. H-shift with clutch was by far the fastest in many cars. I'd love to be able to shift as fast without clutch on cars with dogboxes. -

This. ^^The daily's, weekly's and monthly's will be the same as is, but without the ability to hot lap them first.

I feel that as more information has come out, the skeptics has faded away more and more.SirPhilMcKraken said:I am so very hyped for this to come out, not only because I have a similar craving for Dirt 4 similar to how women crave chocolate, but to also show everyone not convinced about it that its going to be great.
Then again if its bad @kickup I shall be very disappointed in you.
Not angry. Disappointed. :)
I'm hyped! And june isn't really that far away! :) -
This right is seriously why I love you guys do much. Information like this is greatly appreciated. Thank you for answering. :)KickUp said:
Aerodynamics has seen a big update across the board making the cars feel more planted at speed. It will also stop them behaving strangely when airborne. This also has a dramatic effect on how they crash with more convincing rolls.bogani said:What is the biggest change to the simulation engine that have had the most impact on how the cars feel? What parts did Kris and Petter point out as things that really needed to change? @KickUp
We've improved the way we model our suspension geometry. This means you should see more character between the Rear Wheel drive cars based on the type of suspension they are using.
Petter and Kris both asked for more positive feedback from the front of the car. We basically had too much understeer so they helped us dial a much more positive feel into the cars. -

So, this quickfix repair thing I saw something about. Is that something @Hatward came up with all by himself or did he get the idea from someone here? ;) ;) ;) -
Someone that went to the test said you could choose if you wanted cameras that cycles or roadside cameras during replay.F2CMaDMaXX said:Really looking forward to this, and i know @urgaffel was asking around what we thought of the motion blurr etc, but i too, would like to know if we have the option now? I'd love to run PP at max, but can't because the motion blur makes a mess of it.
@gfRally asked over the replays too, um, same :) -
It would be a very nice nod to the original CMR to have the early Impreza WRC though. And many many people love that car. Such an iconic machine that captured so many people :)tbtstt said:
For me the perfect combination would be an Evo III in the Group A class and then an "early WRC" class with the Evo 6.5 and the S5 Impreza WRCar...bogani said:
I would rather have the Evo IV pitted against the 95 Impreza and the rest of the group A's.tbtstt said:
Yeah. I would personally rather see the Evo VI left in the Group A class in D4. Great that CM have got one of the missing icons of the Group A period in the game though!TheFlyingTuga said:@tbtstt, yup. I do believe that the first outing of the Lancer WRC was in Corsica 01. But until then they've been using the Evo 6,5 from the Middle of the 2000 Championship and that it was visualizy a bit different from the one we're getting
And the GC8 Impreza against the Evo VI ;)
I love that D4 will support multi class rallies. Another thing we wished for during EA :)
...realistically I wouldn't expect CM to commit resources to developing another Evo (and Impreza) just a couple of years away from those already in game. I'm just glad that an early Evo is in there now, fingers crossed that the reception for the game will be so positive the ranks of cars may swell further down the line! -

If they were to add real stages in Dirt 4 I bet the game would be nowhere near a June release.
-
With Kris and Petter onboard they really have the best possible people to give accurate feedback on how the cars should behave!SirPhilMcKraken said:
No not yet, the only stages we tried were Australia and Michigan in which the latter was very much a work in progress. I did try the RX which had tarmac sections and it is VASTLY improved over DR which I imagine will carry overbogani said:Btw, did any of you testers get to try any tarmac stage?

Btw, did any of you testers get to try any tarmac stage? -
These vids look good! The Subaru seems to understeer like crazy though. Not much sideways action going on there :PAzoresst said:Found more gameplay:

Result screen after a stage from the event on yooootooobtbtstt said:
Out of interest where did you see this? There were only two rally cars shown at the launch event: the Group A Evo VI and the NR4 Impreza.Didzis said:
There was a gameplay video from the announcment event, you could see some shots of the competitors cars, there was the Lancer Evo VI (which was driven by the player), Impreza 1995, Delta HF Integrale and Escort RS Cosworthsqdstr said:One big question though:
Did group A from DR survive?
I guess it did since the Lancer Evo VI is a group A car? Please tell me we still have the 555? Maybe even the real works model? -
Do the other way around. You had the correct interior but wrong exterior ;)KickUp said:
I believe we have. Will double checkwarpengage said:@KickUp I've heard from the testers you have the 2001 Impreza WRC, I wonder if you've changed the interior to the correct one? I believe you had the interior from a 98-99 one. -
That would mean there's at least hope for older WRC spec machines as DLC?tbtstt said:
That's right. The '01 Impreza and Focus were in the build we saw, as was the '07 Focus.bogani said:
So what exactly are we talking about here and where do we draw the line with modern? Are older spec WRC's like the 01/07 Focus still in the game or are these ruled out as well? Is it just cars from the 2010 and after that are unattainable?KickUp said:
Yep, basically that. It's sad but that's how some rollzoliRX said:'morning @Kick_Up! Could you explain the absence of the modern WRC cars, if possible? Is it the FIA dicking around with the license or is there some exclusivity involved that stopped you from attaing it?
GC8 WRC - there is still hope! ;) -

True. Think a fixed camera within the crowds on RX events using VR to follow the action. Dayum! @KickUpTURBODEVIN19 said:
I was playing DiRT Rally in VR yesterday and noticed during a replay that the trackside cam switches from the car approaching to the car leaving the scene when the car drives past, which is normal on a monitor, but I tried to follow the car with my head but then it switched automaticly. If DiRT 4 gets VR support (I really hope it will, I bought my VR headset purely for DiRT Rally AND it's successors) it would be nice if you can turn the camera/your head yourself during replays. Together with fixing to trackside this would make the ultimate rally spectating simulator.tbtstt said:
I had a very quick play with the replay features yesterday. I noticed that there are now options for fixing the external cameras in the replay. So you could chose to "cycle" or stick with "helicopter" or "trackside".

I'll answer this myself as I saw it in the vids. Yes there are HP and TQ numbers but no curves so we have no idea where in the rev range it peaks.
Yay! lol
