Hey guys, very much looking forward to getting my hands on this next week, although I was thinking that using the handbrake would be very awkward (as a button), as my TH8A would be used for the gears. Is there any solutions that could change anything - is it possible to get two TH8As for the PS4 so that one could be a handbrake?! If you can then I'll just get another one - I know you can on PC but I'm not sure on console?!
Thanks

Nearly forgot this was coming out so soon. I've got it pre-ordered can't wait! I'm going to hit so many trees.

Anyone thinking this looks game bad needs their eyes checked. A little bit outdated, as in ''not Driveclub levels of eye candy'', sure.
The only issue I've so far been able to notice is the screen-tearing in the upper half of the screen and framerate drops that occurs during some rallycross events and replays, albeit very rarely. I'll have to play it myself though. Not going to put that much faith into these YouTube videos - compression and all that.

Hoping there will be a reviews thread for Dirt Rally. From what I've read and seen online, it seems Dirt will be better than SLR Evo.

Codemasters are questionable on the F1 games (barring F1 2016 which might change that), and GIRD couod be considered hit and miss depending on who you ask (personally thought GRID 1 and GRID Autosport were decent fun), but when it comes to rallying they're beasts. 👍

Hm, Seb Loeb Rally may not be much in the looks department but it's a very solid rally game. Probably one of the best ever made

Appreciate the feedback. I haven't purchased SLR or preordered Dirt. Waiting for both to be available, then I'll make a decision.

Sometimes it can fall apart - the rallycross racing feels tacked on, and really shows the edges of the physics model. But get out on one of the (full) 11ish km stages and it's brilliant.

That's a shame. The Rallycross was what got me most interested. I'll still get it but I imagine rallies aren't so great for online clubs. I hope my Rally Cross won't have to wait until Project Cars 2. What is it that shows the limits of the physics model?

Cars feel far to eager to go over when making contact with each other, primarily. First corners look like this almost every race.
This is an excellent review. Worth noting that the performance qualms have been successfully patched out, framerate issues are far improved.

Just looked on our internal system at Sainsbury's and can confirm the steel book edition will be £42.99.
Also, the game releases on the last day of Nectar points double up, so if any of you have a nectar card you can double up to twenty pounds worth of points to forty pounds and basically pay £3 for the game.

Agree. I wish rallycross was a little better, but at this point I dread doing them in SLR Evo. I'm hoping Dirt Rally fills that gap for me well.

Just to clarify: are you referring to SLR or Dirt?

He was referring to SLR's tacked on RX stuff. The strongsuit of DiRT is that it does both well. SLR is best at pure rallying.

@JohnScoonsBeard - there's still hope for good rally cross in Dirt Rally.

The problem of slr on console is it goes at irregular 30FPS and with steering wheel input lag (tweaked in lasted update, but still there)
Dirt Rally goes at stable 60Fps, really appreciate in a rally game.
I also tried the early access version on PC and liked much more the physics of dirt rally infront the ones slr offers..
Next week i go for my copy of the game for ps4!about time to get a good rally game again on console!

Reviews a week ahead of release as well a DF framerate analysis? That shows some proper confidence in their game. They know very well they did damn good this time around.
Review thread over at NeoGAF.
Solid performance overall for both consoles. The few dips and tearing can probably be fixed in a patch. Crossing my fingers for a locked 60fps down the line.
