  1. Second year in a row it's happened, believe it was the zero car last year that set fire to a large amount of forest. Paddon said he couldn't have done anything, he was fully committed to the corner when he hit a hole that wasn't there in recce/the previous running of the stage. Once he was off line, that was that

    GT is Sony's answer to Microsoft's Forza. A full GT game will have around 40-50 tracks 900+ cars, full tuning and customising, custom replay options, full photo mode, basically-everything Forza has.

    GT Sport looks like a cut down version of what the full game will be like. Historically, from around GT3 I think, GT has always released a prologue version of the game, basically a big demo up to a year before the full game. My guess is GT Sport is a taster of what's to come. 

    I enjoy both Forza and GT as I did have both consoles for a while.



    Fair enough. I'm probably wrong, but from what I've heard, and with that many cars, does it not start to really lose quality? Was it the last GT that had so many cars, but only a few hundred of them came with proper modelled interiors and such?

    GT Sport looks like nothing more than the old prologue we use to get before the full GT. Still, It's Gran Turismo... so I'll get it anyway.

    Been playing them for the last 17 years, no point in stopping now! Ironically, 17 years ago all I played on my PS1 was Colin McRae Rally and Gran Turismo. Come November all I'll be playing is DiRT Rally and GT Sport on my PS4 :D


    Sorry for going further off topic, but is GT similar to forza with all the customisation? or is it only cosmetic as shown in the trailer? Because from the trailer it didn't look like it offered much more than forza, other than quantity of cars and tracks, which I'm not really interested in when forza already has a lot, and very detailed ones.

    Not wanting to throw too big a gossip bomb into the mix but we have some stuff planned to address some of this stuff.

    Fantastic news, Paul! Finally something to wash away the bad taste of GT Sport's unveiling.

    Still can't believe I wasted my time watching that train wreck when I could've been playing DR instead. 
    very uninspired trailer, I don't know much about the game being an xbox owner, but that certainly didn't do anything to make me want to jump ship

  5. If it was as simple as being the wrong way round it would have probably been corrected. Unfortunately modelling aero is probably pretty dam difficult, especially when the game is already modelling a hell of a lot of other stuff, and doing so very well!

    Also, I have understood very little of most of the last few posts

    The 208 isn't quite as planted as it probably should be, but saying that it's extremely powerful and very light, and if you push it, it's going to spin and slide. Drive it carefully and it starts to feel better
    The 208 is just plain wrong. If the 208 drove anything like it does in DR, Loeb would have died screaming over the first best cliff. 

    It sure has tremendous power and is very light, but it's clearly have grip to match it when looking at the onboard.
    It does feel more slippery than it should, but I sometimes ask myself if it isn't due to us pushing the cars far harder than you would in real life aswell. Last time I drove the 208PP on all tarmac I tried to drive it as fast as the grip allowed, without being risky. I made some smaller errors on some hairpins resulting in 5-10 seconds lost, but did a good and solid run. End result? 10 seconds off Loebs IRL PP run. Intrigued, I checked his onboard. I had taken the same lines, on the same gears, and gotten the same time. And while I held that pace, the car actually was pretty planted and controllable.
    That's exactly what I meant. I'm not saying it's perfect, but if you drive it like you would drive an endurance car on a track it behaves a bit better. It still feels like it needs more downforce though

    I would agree that Tarmac is not right, but when you peel it back, it's better than most in terms of raw physics. Yes, cars lack grip & slide a bit much, but it's what you can do with the slide that gives me hope.

    If you push a car beyond its grip threshold on iRacing, what you have to do to recover a slide, simply does not translate into real driving, where DiRT, in ways, does.

    Yeah totally agree, the way the cars regain grip feels so realistic. I play forza from time to time and the feeling of losing and regaining grip is no where near as satisfying

  8. Hopefully, I was home a few days ago and couldn't connect to the dallies which was a bit annoying. Struggled to get on the league as well, then ended up crashing out my own league! :(

    In other rally game news, there is a trailer for the rally part of Valentino Rossi: the game

    I guess it will be using seb loeb's physics model?

    I know who isn't driving for MSport next year lol
    *looks at Camilli*

    Elfyn should replace him.
    We'll see. But I personally look forward to see what Evans can do coming straight from a succesful WRC2 season.
    I think that his demotion to do R5 this year might prove to be a very successful move for the future.

    And Camilli? I guess he must have had huge financial backing?
    No financial backing for Camilli, just Malcolm Wilson.
    *Malcom Wilson's very strange choice

    Let's just face it. There will ALWAYS be cheaters in games like this. It's like fighting doping. There is always new ways to cheat.

    If setting top times on fair leaderboards is that important to you, get DR on console.
    But the best drivers play it on pc, console is for casual players
    I'll have to disagree with you on that one - there are console players that are just as serious as PC players about this game. The difference is that we had one years worth of a headstart, but they'll match the best (legit) times on PC soon enough.

    I think it was sarcasm. I hope anyway. Just because I eat popcorn when I play my arcade version of Dirt Rally on my xbox, doesn't make me any different to you PC players.

  11. Unfortunately this is what will be going on for a little while now. Depending on what they are working on, it could vary. If its dirt rally dlc, we could here soon. But I think it is most likely a completely new game, in which case it could be a very long time (could be around 12 months or more) before they can really start talking/hinting

  12. Think paddon is still in the second team for Portugal. Thierry is quick enough, just out of form at the moment and occasionally inconsistent. Sordo is consistent but not really fast enough, but you can rely on him to pick up a few points. So other than Tarmac events, paddon should probably be replacing Thierry more.
    Thierry has a difficult time at the moment. Mentally it's very hard for him. If he's quick it's either him or the car that 'malfunctions'. He hasn't made that much mistakes if I recall correctly. He's had quite a few technical issues though, like in Argentina, which doesn't help him mentally and that shows in his stage times. Dropping him to the second team might be another punch in the guts. It's not really a step down because he has the same car but it suggests that Hyundai doesn't have all that much faith in him which might hit him really hard.
    Totally agree, I'm a big fan of Thierry, I was just thinking from a logical perspective of a team trying to get manufacturers points. You can only give someone so many chances, and with Paddon winning rallies and Sordo rarely putting a foot wrong, unfortunately it is a possible option.

  14. It will be a while before a new announcement. I mean, dirt rally was in development for about 2 years or more before it was announced. Plus, I know you PC guys have had the game for a year, but remember they've only just released it on console, they probably won't go straight out and announce the new one yet

  15. Yeah, previously they had Thierry as no1 driver, but this year they are mixing them up. Sordo is technically no1 as rules state you have to nominate a driver, however they said they're all equal within the team. Most likely that they are aiming for manufacturers title. Shame as I think paddon was in second team last weekend
