  1. Well I know which junction I'm filming on next year! Looked like you weren't the only ones to do that anyway. 
    Yeah I've heard a few others did it. The note was '1 right into 3 opens right long, and hairpin left'. Unfortunately the 1 right and the 3 right were basically the same corner, it should really have been 1 right opens and continues. So I hadn't realized that we had passed the 1 right and were already on the 3 right when I called the hairpin. That and It was fairly deceptive which caught dad out. This is why you should go over and make changes on the afternoon run!

    The forum banned me, no one knows why yet.
    THE FORUM HAS SPOKEN. ALL HAIL THE FORUM. 
    Well this got weird quickly!

    Whilst we're off topic, here's mine and my dad's run of Porlock on last Saturdays Somerset Stages. Managed to set the fastest time in our class!

    Also, apologies @Rallycameraman for forgetting to wave, as you might have noticed when we came past, we had a small incident on stage 1! There is a video on facebook, but it involves a fair amount of swearing!
    Nice going, i see your Dad uses the 'bunny rabbit' technique for driving :D
    It tends to be necessary when you don't have much power! Our car is a near enough standard 1.4 despite being in the 1400C class

    It also now has misshapen door from our ss1 incident, which in tempted to put into youtube

    Just imagine a class of:
    Hyundai i20 R5
    Ford Fiesta R5
    Citroen DS3 R5
    Peugeot 208 T16 R5
    Skoda Fabia R5
    Mitsubishi Mirage R5

    Now that would be a hell of a lot of fun!
    I imagine a class of:
    - Ford Focus WRC
    - Toyota Corolla WRC
    - Mitsubishi Evo VI WRC
    - Peugeot 206 WRC
    - Subaru Impreza WRC 2000
    - Skoda Octavia RS WRC
    - Hyundai Accent WRC

    Call it "90s" for example. Since we have 2010 car now in 2000s this shouldn't be a problem.

    And my pants suddenly got sticky xD

    I think we could go on for a while making sticky pants classes!

    i hope  next  rally game by codies get much better than this if possible :)

    track deformation  and   soft roadside banks   (real car weight over roadside banks)

    a better tarmac feeling

    a lot more locations

    that would be epic :)



    And some amazing R2, R3, R5's rally cars or more WRC rallycars ;-) That would be amazing!

  6. I've said it before, but I'd love to see a dirt 4 game with the handling and stage design of dirt rally throughout, so things like the buggies and trophy trucks as a sim. I'm also one of the few who liked gymkhana, and I think that would be pretty cool if done the same way

    I dont think DR engine needs overhauled or that its old, just some fundamental features that have been missing.  Some features that have never been in any CM title that other racing titles have long had now. 

    Probably this is going to affect Grid and F1 more than DR.
    The problem is more if the engine is limited. I know what we have in Dirt Rally is absolutely amazing, but if the engine is limiting the next game - such as not being able to introduce longer stages, terrain deformation, more stages etc. - then the engine will need an overhaul to keep the next game fresh

  8. On another similar note, do you think we could be seeing a whole new game engine being developed? I'm a bit lost on where they are with ego at the moment, as Dirt rally didn't use F1's, and instead used an older one which was basically re designed. was the F1 engine new for the last game?
    One of the biggest changes to the F1 engine was the current gen console support. I believe they used an improved version of the GRID Autosport engine for DiRT Rally, looking at the grass tech at Lydden confirms this somehow.
    But since the DiRT Rally engine now also supports PS4 and Xbox One, I'm lost as well...
    Yeah, it also uses the hanging dust effect on rallycross that was used to make hanging tyre smoke in Grid autosport's drift events.

    I remember them saying that something about the latest F1 engine just wouldn't work with what they wanted to achieve with Dirt Rally, so the ended up diving into an old engine and basically picking apart to code.

  9. As much as I love Dirt, I also love grid, it was the game that convinced me to buy an xbox 360, and probably the game I've played most out of any other. So I'm glad to see it mentioned in that blog post, as hopefully it will see a revival. Hopefully all this means good things for future Codemasters games.

    According to Eurogamer (UK sales):

    "Chart-Track said Dirt Rally beat launch week sales of 2012's Dirt Showdown by 197 per cent. But it's third in launch week sales terms compared to other games in Dirt series, behind Colin McRae: Dirt 2 and Dirt 3."

    But the sales charts are only for physical copies, the digital market for consoles is bigger now then when DiRT 2 and 3 were released.

    Another point to remember is the budget for all three games, with Dirt Rally being significantly less than the two previous games. So although it might lack in sales, it may make up for it in return on investment

  11. I don't have space for a wheel set up, so if I did buy a PC id be playing on a controller, and since I'd only buy a PC for a small number of games, there's not much point in that. Can we all just accept that sometimes, people play games on different platforms, and at the end of the day, they're pretty much the same thing?

  12. I preordered the legend edition, which from game was supposed to come with the mini and mkII escort unlocked. I didn't get the escort code, and the mini code didn't work, as in I downloaded it and it didn't unlock anything. I wasn't too fussed as I prefer the Fulvia, but I was still annoyed. Plus I didn't get my unique engineer :(
    Speak to @Hatward hopefully he can't sort you out. 

    He's probably a bit busy today! As I said, I'm not too fussed, I'm destroying my first season so far, got a 12 point lead with just Sweden to go!

    Also up to 19 people in my league now! Anyone else on xbox feel free to join, planning on doing new events each week!

  14. Almost 2 years to the date since I first played DiRT Rally, or DiRT Delta as I believe it was known back then. Really hope it does well on console. There's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't.

    Yep, I'm so happy to have played a small part of this!

    Just played the first preview event (60's mini in Greece) whilst the full game was installing, and I won by a long way despite a spin on stage 2! Looks like I've still got it!

  15. DiRT Rally launch day! :D :D

    Congratulations to the team on getting to this point! :) You can hear and read in interviews that this was far from an easy journey and I'm really happy I played a tiny part in it :)

    I'm planning on going this evening to Sainsbury's to hopefully buy one of the steelbook edition copies. However, it will have to be for PS4 as they're not selling PC... I guess I'll have to follow with a purchase of a console :tongue:

    By the way - if anyone sees a PC steelbook edition please buy it for me and I'll send the money back with 10% profit :D Anyone?


    I've not had much time to play DiRT Rally lately (life stuff) and I'm unlikely to get much time to play in the immediate future (big life stuff), but I'll do my best to have a go with the new content soon :)


    Congratulations to @KickUp @Hatward , Steve the Wizard, the rest of the awesome dev and community team and to our torturer/DiRTy friend @justbiglee . Thanks for being so engaging and keen to listent to the fans - I hope that you've seen that it helped you make a better game. The best rally game ever! :D

    What he said!

    And now I wait on Mr. Postman...
