Something is coming closer...

Dynamic weather is one of WRC 8’s best features along with an actual career mode.

30 FPS. It's possible a lot more if you have bigger performance budget.

Dirt 4 was ugly according to DR or DR2 and that could be the reason.

The turbo 'chirps' tells me it could be a early Impreza WRC, but the exhaust note sounds more like a Group A car. The WRC exhaust note is much sharper/cleaner.

 

Did they combine the two to be extra sneaky?

I would ideally see 4 new rally countries :

- 1 tarmac like Manx or Ireland.
- 1 mountainous tarmac like Sanremo or Corsica, or even Japan.
- 1 dirt country like Kenya, Morrocco or Mexico.
- 1 muddy country like Malaysia, Indonesia or China.

If they add stages to existing countries, it would be nice too.

New rally cars are also very welcome, especially R4, more kit cars, GTs, R2s and oldies. Wouldn't be against a H1 RWD category.

Citroen Xsara kit car and Renault Megane Maxi would be very welcome!

Either that or they have been a bit enthusiastic with the turbo noise for the Legacy!

It must be something more than just a car or a location for them to tease it now for a spring 2020 release!! (I’d like to think so anyway)

I´m not a fan of dynamic weather. The result will be, that most of the events starts with sunny and ends with rainy weather...or the other way.

That is a big critical point for example in WRC8 (I´m not an owner of it but informed)

In DiRT 4 this was one of the best features imo. 

it's not really dynamic in dirt 4 though. just the fog gets thicker and thinner if the weather is set to "Fog Patches", and when it's set to "Light Rain Showers, "Rain Showers" or "Heavy Rain Showers" the rain changes in intensity (same goes for snow if you're in Sweden). it's not really like WRC 8, and I don't think it needed to be, given how many times of day (10) and weather options (13) were built into Dirt 4, because then the weather and time of day just switches from one stage to another instead of within stages. and I think that's just fine. Dirt 4 was super immersive thanks to this.

It's been confirmed that it's PSVR support apparently.

There are no plans for PSVR to be implemented into DiRT Rally 2.0.

Cool, was just checking.

this is not true in WRC8 though. often the game can start sunny, it will start to rain, and then the weather will clear up leaving it sunny again but with puddles on the roads.

there is even variation of similar weather conditions within one stage. just last night i was driving a stage in the Tour de Course which started out rainy, then the weather got more intense and it started to storm with harder rain and worse visibility, then it went back to rainy again. 

also regarding the 30fps on console - this is what they officially say but it certainly FEELS much faster. in fact if i play DR2.0 and WRC8 back-to-back the feeling of speed is basically exactly the same, even though DR2.0 runs at a confirmed 60fps on console compared to the claimed 30fps of WRC8.

anyway i don't want to turn this into a WRC8 thread and overall DR2.0 is a better game imo, but WRC8 does have its merits.

I think you’ve cracked it. Say anything and claim it’s confirmed and @PJTierney will be forced to deny. Ergo anything we say is confirmed IS confirmed until we hear ‘There are no plans for ______ in DiRT Rally 2.0’ 😉

There are no plans for interrogation in DiRT Rally 2.0.

So note that rally japan is most definitely not denied 😽

60FPS will feel smoother and more responsive, it won't give you more sense of speed. Different FOV will impact sense of speed.

I'd actually like this if it would be done in a more dynamic way (such as generating the layout and then trying to generate the world around it). Although it would be quite difficult and could lead to many errors in the generation.
