EA Sports WRC: General Discussion

[Speedster502]

Interesting that there's an Image of what looks like a Pepe Lopez (Spanish Rally Champion) Livery for the Fiesta R2 in the new garage background that isn't currently in the game... 🤔

This is interesting!

Wonder if we might be getting a pack of WRC2 liveries that weren't full season entrants? I note that Pepe did Monte, Croatia and Portgual last year. Might be being optimistic though...just hoping for a proper Castrol MEM Yaris Rally2 from Rally Japan to be honest 😂

That would be very nice indeed.

Gryazin's Initial D tribute livery.

But I fear we are being too optimistic.

Had a quick mess around yesterday, and love the Xsara Kit Car, it's a blast to drive.

 

[PJTierney]

Polo and Fafe are my highlights so far.

 

[Ali]

Yeah, the S1600 206 is awesome!

What was the Steam update for earlier today PJ?

I don't think I realised how much I missed the Polo till it was added. What a lovely car, really fun to drive, enjoy the DS3 too not to mention the C4 in factory colours.

I know there's comments about "Oh it's not 12 stages, just 2 long ones made into segments" but these new additions are really great to drive. The Brianconnet is quite a different beast compared to some of the other Monte ones, especially after the twisty rocky start, then the fast downhill section where it's easy to lose control. Excellent
Fafe is also really good and fast compared to some of the other tricky Portugal stages, though in some places it feels quite wide.
I love the DS3 and where I'm not a massive fan of FWD cars, I must say the Xsara kit car and even the S1600 Peugeot are also great to drive.

Agreed, Brianconnet is such a fun challenge. Fwiw Fafe is quite wide in real life as well, for a rally stage.

Brianconnet is really challenging. Gives me more respect for the real life drivers for sure. I can see why the drivers love Fafe's jumps.

My local store had this for £16 which I feel it was too good to turn down.

Early impressions are the graphics are nowhere as bad as I heard, the long stages are great, handling feels OK on controller (haven't tried it on a wheel yet) and the career mode is miles ahead of Dirt Rally.

The screen tearing however is pretty bad on some stages, only downside so far.

Looking forward to getting stuck into it properly, there's a lot of content in this game.

 

[StPeterMartyr]

I doubt you’ll see bodywork upgrades.

Liveries, that would be nice. DiRT Rally 2.0 added a few post-launch.

I've always wondered why, in DR 2.0, the Impreza WRC 2001 stickers color looked so greenish. Today I found the answer: they are actually light green, the only decal in the correct yellow is placed under bonnet (unedited PS4 screenshot below)

I would love to swap the sound of the frog eye Subaru from Dirt 2.0 to WRC as it sounds far better.

One thing I agree is better in DR2 is the Subaru sounds in general.

Screen tearing seems to go away once you done the stage once,
