DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

[ShodanCat 231]

I wonder if they've done research on the split between those who desire RX content and those who desire rally content. It seems to me it's far, far more weighted to rally, but I admit it could be my personal bias. But if I'm right, it begs the question: why evenly split the DLC between RX and rally if 80% of the playerbase is more interested in rally? Just theorizing obviously since we don't even know what's in season 1 yet, let alone season 2.

The selection of cars is very good in terms of modern rally cars. Apart from the Hyundai there's everything I could hope for and something more too. Obviously no WRCs but that was to be expected so I never got my hopes up for those.
As soon as we go back in time, I feel like this is mostly a step back compared to the original DiRT Rally.
I mean, there are some nice additions (the Evo VI, the 205 GTI, the Golf GTI, the 240Z) but the lost car classes feel like a real hole in the car list.
No Gr.B RWD, and that includes the Rally 037 which is one of my favorite rally cars, no 2000s (that means just 3 subies in the car list) and I never realized how much I'd miss F2's up until... Well, now.
The fact I couldn't care less about rallycross cars definitely doesn't help :/

I seriously hop ethe 2000cc makes a strong return. It has been the most requested class to be completed ever since DiRT Rally 1. It'd be a tremendous disappointment if this class would be dropped for good. A proper 2000cc class with early 2000s WRCs (name it how you want) is the the missing stone to fill the gap.

 F2 , 2000 , group B Rwd come back in dlc   , maybe  DR 2.0 have more season because  3 2000 , 2 f2 , 2group Rwd, hyundai R5 , mini RX  (maybe 2010  and  new car come  too )   , in 1 season you have 3 car    for 2 season  , the missing cars come in first with 2 or 3 season  and after the new  car come or   in new season you have all F2 + new car ( exemple  toyota celica ( all celica ) and corolla  , peugeot 206 , skoda octavia and fabia WRC   seat cordoba , saxo kitcar ......) I speak a lot about 2000 car ( not only wrc  ) because I saw these cars when I was young on TV but you have  more car for different  year exemple subaru legacy  , nissan pulsar gti r-r , peugeot 309 gti ,  renault super 5  renault 11 turbo  group a , ,R8 giordini  , rx 7  group B   .....  codemasters have choice .

  even if some cars do not win races, having them would be nice to see their difference

So where will the gossip continue during #gossipcrisis2019 when the forum stops working?

Looks like a fun little track to practice around in  :D Love to see that appearing in DIRT2.0 for testing out cars!

I legit thought Jon was driving topless until I looked again  :D

Real men always rally shirtless, at least that's what I do in my bedroom.

I'll hold my hands up as someone who made a mistake reporting on D4 just prior to release.

Don't think that all of us involved with that weren't kicking ourselves afterwards - don't think we didn't learn from that and know that we were all involved at a *considerably* earlier point for a massive amount of feedback to change the outcome, not just validate what was thrown at us.

When @Rallycameraman says he enjoyed it a lot, he means it, as do I. 
I had a blast last night, crazy experience and can't wait to get back home and play again tonight.

Bummed to hear the tarmac physics are the same wonky floatiness from the previous games, but I guess I expected it since it is the same engine. :/

Goodbye gossipers. See you in a week or so!

It's been an awesome time here. See y'all in a week!

EDIT: I didn't expect this to actually post. Oh well, guess the Thread is still alive for a bit then.

They're not - I haven't watched the video, but if he says they're the same, he's mistaken.

Someone hasn't flipped the switch at CM HQ yet: it's gone midnight!

See you on Discord!

They’re definitely not.  Iv just been playing RWD on Tarmac and its so precise when you want it to be, but push the limit and it does bite back.  Tyres and conditions have a massive effect on the levels of grip, naturally

Jesus!   I just watched the beginning of that video, that looks terrible, something went wrong there!  Trust me, looks nothing like that on my system.

I genuinely don't want to start some big argument, but you can see in that video the same old Dirt tarmac physics with the strange way it seems the rear wheels almost seem to steer, or to put it another way, like the car is rotating on a single point through the center of mass, no matter what each corner/tire is doing. I get that you're really excited by what you've been given the opportunity to try out, but... I mean you can see it right here on display.

[F2CMaDMaXX 505]

Watching something with a moving camera on a static screen is difficult to see what's really going on.

I'm not saying tarmac is spot on, but i'm saying that it feels pretty good, it's certainly not as bad as that shakeycam footage suggests.
