  1. Shows that the Hyundai is also very competitive still also. Don't know how hard Ogier was pushing on final day as he probably knew he wouldn't catch neuville and JML, but he wasn't very quick at all. Even the powerstage when he did push he didn't win by much. I know he lost a second or 2 in a hairpin, but he still wouldn't have won by a lot

  2. By not being tied to a WRC license, they do have the option to go wherever they want. But you can't deny that we got some great stages. For the next game, I think we should either get 6 completely new locations, or a mixture of some new and some old.

    Australia or NZ
    Spain
    Corsica
    Poland
    Wales (Eppynt)
    Portugal or Italy

    And then maybe a return of Greece and Finland

  3. Basically, there are a shit tonne of stages out there across the world, with some pretty spectacular ones either on or off the WRC calendar, and we want them all! Unfortunately we can't get them all, but as long as we get a good selection of some pretty decent stages, I'll be more than happy!

    Ooh! Eppynt!                                         

    I love Eppynt, and hopefully will be back out there competing next month. The stages are always great, very fast and flowing, with some pretty good scenery. Can't remember if its Monument or Route 60 that has a really cool downhill section onto a big concrete bridge, then back up the otherside? It claimed quite a few cars last year, and caused a few cracked windscreens too!

    I agree. Another possibility in addition is to change the seasons to the existing stages, which could really help with giving them a new feel for a new game.I for one would love to do the monte rally in the summer.
    I would love that too, but people threw a hissy fit when they found out Finland was going to be in the autumn, even though this isn't a WRC game and they don't need to follow the WRC callendar. Hopefully those people are the minority.
    Hope so too. In my opinion the biggest flaw Dirt rally has regarding stages is that it's following the WRC callendar too much. They have an amazing oppertunity to go off the grid to do some amazing but lesser known rallies. But I can understand why they did it.
    You are, right. Let DR 2 follow lesser known rallies, and have Kylotonn follow WRC ;) Amateur rallies also needs love, and some of them are really pearls/diamonds. 

    But we don't exactly have bad rallies and stages in the game currently. But yeah, there are some fantastic lesser known stages out there, I've been lucky enough to tackle some of those in Britain. The somerset stages in south England are great stages, with the gravel being a unique red-brown. And Porlock Hill would be a great challenge on the next game! Tight and twisty and the bottom, and fast and open at the top!

    I'm wasn't overly fussed about it, but recently there have been some stunning photos coming out of some of the summertime Welsh forests, and now I'd love to see that in the game.

    ill add 2 things as a short wish list for content:

    1)  carrying over locations from DR do other stages in the locations (I.e. Germany wine country). I would guess the assets are there and I would imagine the other areas of the locations where documented and photographed.   I would just guess these would be quicker than creating all new?  Not sure what takes longer Mesh/3D work or environment work.

    Add additional new non dlc locations too expand content even more.

    2) Short and quickwish, more pronounced bump maps on terrain, at times the gravel just looks like a flat texture.
    Definitely agree with that. I'd especially love the vineyard Germany stages. Maybe something different in Wales too, like route 60 or the great orme.

    If only I was a tester, secret or not! 

    What about #thatcar, #thiscar, #thatothercar, etc? Have they all been implemented into the game yet?
    I thought so? The first #thatcar was the Sport Quattro and the second hash tagged car was the Peugeot 208? 

    (Not 100% sure on the above though, so I await correction!)

    Really intrigued to know what they have planned: is it just minor tweaks, or is there further content coming for the game? 

    Yep - #Thatcar was being teased way before the game was announced because it was one of the first powerful cars they got working, and everyone in the team was excited about it. #Thatothercar was the 208.

  9. I'm pretty sure half the regular gossipers are testers now! You can normally tell when everyone goes quiet as soon as speculation for new updates starts! With the exception of a certain someone a year or two back who continued to gossip and speculate before it was announced, despite the fact they were secretely one of the first to see the bloody game!

    He knows something. Talk @RallyDriven, TALK! 
    Even if he would talk, Codies probably already made some form of censoring system, so it will look something like this:
    "This new content will bring an *NDA* to *NDA* along with *NDA*."
    The trusted group of testers won't be revealing anything... for free. For the right price though...

  11. Alright, time to change the subject i think.

    I'll drop some gossip for the next update. It has something to do with cars.


    In all seriousness, hopefully it won't be too long before codies can talk about what they have been teasing. It's quite fun seeing it from the other side and seeing how close people get when guessing, same as when myself and a few others were lucky enough to play the game before it was announced, and gossip was at its highest!

  12. They would have to phone up every single license holder that they have to confirm to new changes, as the cars are all licensed as they are, such as the s1600's are licensed with one seat, and for RX races, which is why you can't rally them. I'd imagine that there would be quite a few that would be rarely unhappy with ACAT, and it would be a difficult and expensive process.

    No point of playing the game anymore once you reach elite difficulty in rally. Everything is inpossible at that point, then the game become a P.O.S game where you only loose. i miss dirt 3. rally finland is f***** in this game. why put a jump on EVERY f***n turn??? so overkill. wish i could get my money back!
    It's a real stage in a real forest, complain to God
    I still kinda agree with him though. The jumps and crests are a tad exagerated imo. Finland feels like it still got one foot in the old Dirt games compared to the quality of Wales and Sweden.
    I don't think it's the stages, I think they're fairly accurate, it's just the game's physics don't calculate the jumps well e.g. The cars fly too much

    Great for Meeke, What happens to Latvala? And finally Camilli did something decent, not enough to quiet his haters.
    I haven't been following it so much this weekend, but what exactly did he do other than set one reasonable stage time? Yeah he came 5th, but that's really only cause a lot of people retired. He's just not that quick, and I highly doubt he ever will be
