justbiglee Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 What is DiRT Rally? DiRT Rally is the latest game in the DiRT series and we’re releasing it first in Early Access for PC and asking for help from our fans to develop it over time. What is Early Access? This is how Steam define what early access is “Get immediate access to games that are being developed with the community’s involvement. These are games that evolve as you play them, as you give feedback, and as the developers update and add content. We like to think of games and game development as services that grow and evolve with the involvement of customers and the community. There have been a number of prominent titles that have embraced this model of development recently and found a lot of value in the process. We like to support and encourage developers who want to ship early, involve customers, and build lasting relationships that help everyone make better games. This is the way games should be made” And that is exactly how we feel about it too; we want you to feel like part of the development team and help us build a better game. When will it be available? DiRT Rally is available now for PC via Steam. Surprise! What do I get for my money? At release DiRT Rally will include a total of 36 rally stages spread across Monte Carlo, Greece and Wales. We have a total of 17 cars, from 1960s classics right through to modern day machines. As time goes on we’ll be adding more cars, more environments, we’ll be climbing Pikes Peak and going door-to-door around a selection of the best circuits from the 2015 FIA World Rallycross Championship. We’ll also be adding features based on your feedback so be sure to let us know what you’d like to see included in future updates. OK so how much does that extra stuff cost me? Not a penny, regardless of when you join us for Early Access you’ll have access to all of our updates and all of the content we add during our Early Access period at no extra charge. When is DiRT Rally coming to console? For now, we’re focussed on Early Access. It’s really important to us that we make DiRT Rally the best game it can be and we can only do that with your help. Steam Early Access is the perfect place for us to do that. We believe that DiRT Rally is the game many of our fans want and right now, our plan is to develop DIRT Rally with community feedback and get that experience absolutely right. Once we have done that, if there is sufficient demand for the DIRT Rally experience on consoles, then of course we’ll consider that. OK so how can I help? There are loads of ways you can help; buying the game reinforces our belief that we’re making the game you all want, playing the game enables us to collect loads of useful data about the kinds of ways you play it. If you find a bug or something that’s not quite right we need you to give us as much information about it as you can and if you have an idea about how we can make DiRT Rally even better, we want to hear it. Tell your friends about DiRT Rally, question our decisions and send us your screenshots and videos. We don’t want you to feel like part of a community, we want you to feel like part of the team. How can I submit a bug? Ideas are welcome everywhere but when it comes to reporting bugs we have a form that will help us get the information we need to fix it as quickly as possible. You’ll find all the info you need in the bug reporting section of the Steam and Codemasters Forums. What are the system requirements for DiRT Rally?

How can I keep up to date with the latest news? However you feel most comfortable, we’ve tried to make DiRT Rally as easy to follow as possible. Our new shiny website dirtgame.com should be your first port of call; here we have blogs from the dev team, videos and our development timeline. You’ll also be able to check your stats and leaderboard standings, join or host a league, view your progress in our Online events and even launch the game right from your browser! We also plan on hosting regular livestreams. These are a great chance for you to put a face to the name, ask us questions, get a sneak peek at what is coming in future packs and maybe even win some swag. Follow our Twitch.TV channel to get notifications when we go live. The Steam Community hub and Codemasters Forums are a great place to meet other DiRT fans and talk to the development team. We’ve set up our very own DiRT subreddit which we’re hoping you’ll subscribe to and of course you can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Google+. As with all things DiRT Rally related where we go from here is up to you, even this FAQ will change based on your feedback. It’s going to be an exciting few months for us. Welcome to the team.

joepineapples Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Another probable FAQ...does it use the latest EGO Version 4 engine?. And how soon for DFGT wheel to make the supported list...probably the most popular budget FF wheel.On a side note, could you possibly get a 60fps version of the trailer out to Gamersyde :)cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anths95 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Has anyone used this with a Logitech Driving Force GT yet? That's what I have and I'm absolutely DYING to buy and start playing this game (I could have sat down on Santa's lap with a wishlist and not expected something better, honestly) but I can't drive without my wheel. If no one's tried it yet I guess I can wait until it's officially supported but that would be painful, so I'm hoping someone's tried it!Seriously though, THANK YOU CODEMASTERS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT EXCEPT THE RELEASE DATE BEING THE WEEK BEFORE FINALS :smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyley101 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Truthfully, is it worth splashing the cash with a laptop hovering around the minimum specs? So wanna play this but not at 10fps... Am willing to run super low settings however :smile: , at least until you come to your senses and let us console peasants have a go :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexmonteirobr Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi! Great news, I have a copule of questions: Does This game works under 32 bits Windows 7? Can I play with T300 Rs wheel? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operator1 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Why paid early access (at a much higher price than many other early access games)?Why pay testers if you can get testers to pay (handsomely)? Bug-hunting is the new meta-game! ;)Is DiRT Rally just a rally-based counterpart to 2012's DiRT Showdown spin-off?DiRT Rally almost seems like it could be DiRT 3 DLC (or a mod) with alternate physics/handling settings.Is this what CodeMasters has been doing with the DiRT legacy over the last 4 years since the release of DiRT 3?This seems more like baby steps than a 4-year leap forward.

stuartwood Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Any chance of Direct Drive FFB wheels being supported soon?Need a tester for it?

nokazutakicimo Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Works with the T300RS, FFB not too realistic at this point but I understood that's the way it is with all wheels now.I'll need to find the time to play some more.Keep up the good work!

Charlie16 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 i really hope codies can finally make the best rally game ever on the pc and port it over to the ps4 and xb1 as i only have a ps4 and am dying for a rally game as good as colin mcrae rally!!!

nokazutakicimo Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 it looks like FFB isn't implementing the feel of the road, but I'll need to test more.I can only feel some FFB if I turn the wheel more than 90degrees but that's not the feel of the road/surface.I use wheel FFB settings to the max in the game.

TaintedDrifter Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks sooooo much codemasters, you guys are awesome. I've been waiting for the next dirt instalment for a while now and I'm missing the series so much as I'm currently using a next gen console. Can't wait to see the game arrive for the PS4 and Xbox One (if it does - please). I've watched a lot of the early access gameplay and it looks dope. #GameOfTheYear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinb Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I get that once people purchase the Early Access game they wont need to buy any more content for it. But once the game leaves early access, will PC users who purchased the early access version have to pay out again for the full version?And will there be dlc that you have to pay for once the game is out of early access?If a dev could clear this up thatd be great because its slightly vague atm, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
