Hi all, figured I'd make a general discussion thread for DiRT Rally 2.0, this'll be a fun one to play

@Jimmy B has a preview article up here too:

This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:

DiRT Rally 2.0 Hands-On Preview: Magical Stage Design, Tarmac Physics Need Work

This article was published by Jimmy Broadbent (@Jimmy B) on February 3rd, 2019 in the DiRT Rally 2.0 category.

We pretty much already have 2 discussion threads don't we? The one you linked in your post and the one stop shop. Not sure we need another.

One’s a preview article discussion and the other’s mainly focused on the first game from what I can tell.

I don’t mind either way

The people shall decide if it gets active and takes over then cool.

Feel free to link my car list and location list threads in your OP for ease of access.

I'll do that later, sure

In the meantime here's a thing:

 

[PiotrGT]

Hope it works well on One S. Not the X, I know, but hope at least the framerate is stable and graphics are as good as in the first game.

German Gamestar awarded this a 90 today. Wow.

 

[HellzFire]

I always played the Dirt games on the pad and they were great at that.

How are they on wheel? Im on G29 now.

 

[PocketZeven]

Anybody knows how it runs on PS4? 60 fps?

Impressive... looking forward to more.

I remember first Dirt Rally running on base xb1 at 60fps, so I'd say there is high chance of Dirt Rally 2 running on PS4 at 60fps.

The first Dirt Rally runs 60fps on ps4. That does not neccesarily mean 2.0 will run the same. I cant find a source that confirms the Fps for Dirt rally 2.0 on Ps4.

I hope it's at 60fps like Dirt Rally 1. As much as I like V-Rally 4, it runs at 30fps on base PS4 and isn't easy to play long term. Need smooth frame rate for rally games!

I agree. For most other type of games I dont mind 30 fps at all. Only simulation (racing etc.) games (and Fps) really need 60 fps. Its strange I cant find a source that confirms or denies 60 fps.

I'm 99% sure it's 60fps. Dirt rally 1 was as was dirt 4. All the footage I've seen has been 60fps as well.

 

[PJTierney]

On a related note, Xbox One X stats: 60fps in gameplay, 30fps in replays.

Also has an option in the settings to play in 4K.

It may have HDR too but I've only been playing through my capture card which doesn't have HDR passthrough.

I hope somebody knows the answer.

After the release of Dirt Rally 2.0, you can buy DLC 1 and 2. Is it going to be possible to buy season 2 separately or do you have to buy season 1 and 2 together?

All components of both seasons will be purchasable separately.

Thanks for the heads up.

I think that season two is going to have the three missing official World Rallycross championship tracks. 7 are included in the Standard Edition and there are three tracks in season 2. This could mean that the three tracks in the season 2 DLC are going to be the 3 missing official tracks in the Standard Edition.

Any vids out talking about how the FFB is ?

Jimmy Broadbent’s video on YouTube touched on FFB

Tarmac still looks off.
Like the car doesn't follow the front wheels, but always pivots around the center.
And some maneuvers would be impossible in real world physics.

 

[MXH]

How does the game run on the OG PS4?

I know that it is supposed to run at 60fps but we’ve only seen Pro, X and PC footage.

 

[RaceFuchs]

Is pre-ordering or buying the deluxe edition the only way to get the 911?

It will be available in the future for individual purchase.

I believe it’s also available with the Day 1 (pre order) standard edition.
