Milestone and their 'niche' racers are taking very good advantage of the lack of traditional arcade racers on the current Gen, i.e Burnouts, Blur, Pure, NFSs, MotorStorms, Outruns, Split/Second, I wish Disney/Blackrock studios were about now as the graphics were very good back in the day but I am sure the talented staff are still in gaming.
I also wonder what the new EVO/Codies team are working on, it wouldn't surprise me they will be tapping in to this market after Driveclub with so many serious 'sims' about now. I think there is quite a market for 'Fun' Driving Arcade games inc VR add ons right now for sales.
Slightly off subject but they really should also offer 'discounts' on New digital releases now to give a big push for Digital Download Sales rather than be more expensive than Blu-RayDVDs costing more to produce and distribute! I can see the Blu-ray/DVD quickly dying out now PS4 will have the option for external HDD 8TB.

Nice, I'll be playing that. It sort of reminds me of the GT 4 rally tracks, especially Tahiti.

This looks like what i said i hoped it would be on the previous page, Rally Cross on the PS1. Woop.

Official! Seems like an arcade Rally Raid, Rally Cross kind a game 👍 Coming summer 2017 and using the unreal engine.
Milestone is stepping up their game.

So in the summer we will have Gravel versus Dirt. Could be interesting in terms of content how this will turn out. I expect Dirt to be more polished all around but Milestone could beat them in terms of content. A bit similar like Dirt Rally versus SLRE.

Yeah, I have the feeling that Codemasters have been paying attention to Milestone since WRC3.

At present it does look better.
I'm just glad to see Milestone look as of they are starting to live up to the potential they have.

I agree! In the past it has been hit and miss with a lot of their games but the since this generation the quality really seems to have improved.
As for the comparision between MXGP2 and Gravel. I saw that Gravel is in Alpha and I asume that it will recieve some more polish.
Interesting thing in Redbull article is that they capture offroad cars from 1970 up to 2017 with over 50 vehicles. Really looking forward to that list of cars 👍

Wow I'm excite, as much as i love more realistic physics I'm really missing an exciting arcade racer.
We should expect that, but maybe with the UR engine things will be different. Having played Rocket League for so long which uses the unreal engine, i can tell from those screenshots that it is the same engine. This Gen is shaping up to be great for racers.

Very interesting quote from the Red Bull article:
This sounds really fun, I've been waiting years for a Dakar style rally game, the dunes in the video look fun. I'll definitely be buying this (a month after release when it's half price).
Edit: Beaten to it by hours

Gravel is bound to be another solid and enjoyable title from Milestone and I am looking forward to seeing more about it. It gives me a vibe of MotorStorm too.
I thought that trailer was crap though.

Is it just me that wants the rock throwing from the tech demo to be a mini-game of some sort?!

You're not serious are you? The graphics in SLR sucked. The car models were modeled all wrong..The graphics are slowly getting better each time and this shot from Seb Loeb shows they are not far behind Dirt Rally now edit: MXGP2 has great graphics 👍
sure the environmental graphics look good, but the cars do not. Just look at that Peugeot you first start with. It was enough for me to uninstall the game.
