The first classic car pack (not carpark this time 🙈) is live.
1 new car and 1 new truck, both from 1986:
Full patch notes:
I was hoping for more vehicles in the pack but these 2 look like they should be fun.

Maybe stupid question, but I could not find it.
Can you use your PS4 save on PS5?
By the way, love the game, can be totally lost in time especially during a race on higher difficulty.
Thanks

Maybe not the save (I'm assuming here as apparently there are read issues, or at least were back when the console came out) but you should be able to play with the PS4 disc in the PS5

I've got the PS4/PS5 digital bundle and never found a way to transfer my PS4 save data to PS5. Had to start all over from scratch.

Xbox sale...
Noticed that this is currently discounted to £20.49 (£22.49 for deluxe edition).
Seems like it's probably worth buying at that price? Are there any major issues with the game (for those who have played it on console)?
The reviews mention save progress being deleted and having to restart. Is this still a potential issue or was it resolved?
Probably going in my backlog pile, with EA WRC and coming and Forza not8 just released, but I'd like to support a driving game that is a bit different to the norm if I can.

I’d go for it, I bought it earlier this year and I spent a full week playing it on my series S non stop, I’d say that is very fun and didn’t have any issues/ bugs that affected my experience playing it.

It's a really impressive game, but (and I'm sure I'm not alone in this), because it's not really 'pick up and play' and demands time and effort to learn how to do it, it's been sitting unused on my HD. Really need to get back to it because it's genuinely impressive post patches etc.

Definitely get it and give it a go. It's a small team and they've had to delay the updates a couple of times but news is due by the end of the year and that includes photo mode, replays, team customisation and a whole pile of other free updates. The team have put a lot into the game and have made something special. I now cannot see sand dunes and not think about this game. Some truly long and challenging rallies at the top tier of things and some fun free-run areas with plenty of things to discover.

It seems a little easier than the original game but still something that you'll need to adjust to as you learn how to read the rally raid roadbook since it's different to what you would be used to from any rally game. It's probably best to do the pro/simulation events in a truck first because it's slower and gives you more thinking time and if you wonder too far off course the co-driver will point you back in the right direction after a while. Bikes and quads you're totally on your own with navigation which is a nice challenge once you're comfortable.

There needs to be more granularity with the codriver directions. I’ve turned him off incidentally and use the road book.
For example on most occasions turn means veer. ‘Turn’ conjures a sharp-ish turn, usually 90 degrees.
As far as updates; it’s not boding well for the road book editor, unless that’s what’s holding everything up.

I figured I would take a shortcut on one of the treasure hunts, it took ages to get up that mountain road and I didn't want to spend another 10 minutes driving back down if there was a quicker route. It was quick but more bumpy than I expected 🙈

Yeah, that's one way to do it lol, but one hell of a headache and dizziness😁🤪.
Edit: i only have the 1st game, dakar 18, which i liked a lot, but haven't put much time into still.
I put this one on my wishlist, someday..

That sharp right so you have to slow right down to avoid those rocks? Yeah, I know it well...So there's still hope that they can fiddle with the friction physics so my car is less likely to crawl to a halt, give up, and slide backwards down the not-particularly-impossible-looking hills of Al Ula 2020 Stage 2?
Even if not, good to see it's still kicking.
That hill on stage 1 of the Dakar Experience 2020 though, I had to swing around and go into reverse for that one. The Snow Runner trucks took it in one go though
