I'm not exactly well versed in Dakar technicalities, but I thought in raid style racing you only have a pre-determined start and finish point, and the route is up to you? I checked this year's route though and it seems you do follow a specified route.

I was initially thinking a square map like FUEL's (that would make it just over 120km wide each side). This would mean even the longest drive corner to corner is about 2.5-3 hours (could be longer if the route isn't a straight path or looped). But a long thin map like what you suggested could be more faithful to the actual race. That would take considerably more effort to model though. Also whether the PS4/XB1 can handle loading the WHOLE map at once, or will it be cut into separate stages?
If that's photomode, this game will be amazing for photomode fans no matter how crap it plays.That's in game? There's no way! Must be some prerendered photomode type thingy.
very impressive.
Could have made more effort with the box art, unless those are just placeholders.
Well, "Art Not Final" pretty much gives it away
Cool. I'll buy this game for the KamAZ. Any screenshots of it yet?
As much as I *want* to get excited, I know that with Bigmoon's lackluster reputation at best when it comes to developing games is probably a recipe for disaster, especially in a discipline that requires a lot of moving parts like Dakar. And that Reddit post upthread, while certainly encouraging, screams to me of a developer who is making a lot of checks that it probably cannot cash.
Like any Milestone game, I come in with very low expectations.
It is being developed together with Deep Silver. So hopefully the two can get their act together on this one.

Seams Milestone games will now have that polish with the new engine. This Dakar sounds too good to be true.I'm just going to chip in here that Seb' Loeb Rally Evo on the PS4 for me at least is a surprise in terms of gameplay. It's early days (only got it at the weekend) but actually really enjoying it from a ground up campaign mode. I'm thinking that maybe the faster cars become too difficult, but overall I'm well happy with the game!
That said, it does lack a bit of polish and the sound is woeful.
