Doesn't surprise me at all. I would be amazed if anyone that tried the PC demo went ahead and purchased it.

Well the only one to blame in here is Milestone. I don't understand that as a small developer you simply focus on one console or the pc but not all 3.

And according to Inside Sim Racing the PS4 version is far better than the PC version. But.. is it comparable to RBR?

<I have RBR/DiRT Rally on PC and SLRE on PS4, so answering your question>
It's different. Some things are better in SLRE, but others are worse:
- I think the grip levels are not so different. SLRE cars feel a bit more planted but braking distances in SLRE are pretty long.
- Cars are easier to control in SLRE than RBR generally, though, which I think is a combination of track surface (see below) and less aggressively simulated weight transfer. I am not saying SLRE is therefore worse, just different. It's quite feasible that RBR is the less realistic on this front
- FFB is quite different, I think I prefer the feedback which RBR gives on gravel/snow but I quite like SLRE on tarmac, since it does give a nice feeling of an uneven surface.
- Road surface "interestingness" and things like potholes are more present in RBR than SLRE, which tends to have quite flat roads most of the time, although that's not necessarily SLRE being worse (SLRE has all stages modelled on real life, so if there are no potholes then none would be in game)
- Graphically obviously SLRE is far better, and the recent patch solved most of the frame rate issues on PS4
- Car selection and built-in rally stage lengths are better in SLRE, but obviously RBR has mod content to change that
- In both games, wheel support seems fine. RBR you obviously needed to tweak config files to remove input lag. SLRE has been patched to reduce input lag, and as far as I'm concerned it's good enough right now to be able to feel what the car is doing and anticipate quickly enough
SLRE (and DiRT Rally) feels like a "proper" rally simulator to me. And given that it offers lots of content and an acceptable driving model, I really think it's worth a purchase by any rally fan. Alongside DiRT Rally.

Curious - is anyone playing this on PS4 with a T300 and TH8a shifter? Wondering if the 4th gear slot on the shifter is possible to map to the handbrake? With this game being released so close to Dirty Rally on consoles I do not see the need to get both for now so it depends on which game I can easily configure since I never got to modding up a proper handbrake yet.

I'm presumably as lazy as you when it comes to not bothering to rotate the shifter to sequential or real analog handbrake mode, so I'm using 4th with the TH8A on PS4 hooked via USB, alongside a T500. Works fine.
Gamer Muscle's review is nicely done as always. I find myself driving into SLRE trees much less frequently than DiRT Rally trees, so I guess I must be doing something wrong

He might have got 60 fps but had the micro stutter problem that inside sim racing mentioned. I have nearly got plat on PS4 just 2 more trophies, finish all the loeb experience events and the final loeb event in career. I currently have 1.1 million experience so not to far of finishingI'm running 780Ti
I'm running 780Ti in SLi and get well over 100 fps constantly. If you have only played the demo there was a huge day one patch that improved all versions dramatically. So I'm not sure it's really fair to go around dissing the PC version based on the demo

Awesome thanks.
I have this plan in my head and the parts laying around in the garage to build a handbrake that will use an old RX7 handbrake handle, a bicycle side pull brake, some springs, and a soft pad to physically push the L3 or R3 button on the T300 base when I pull the handle. That way I can use the TH8A shifter as an actual shifter for rally games but never got around to it. So mapping 4th as handbrake with rubber bands will have to do until my lazy ass builds it. I was planing it this way so it would not void the warranty, but at this rate my 1 year (USA) will be up and I will just open up the base and wire a switch to the L3 button like most people have been doing already...

I can download this in the ps store right?

You can, yes (I did at launch because I have stopped wanting to own bluray boxes), but it's likely to be full price there for ages.

Is it just me, or does the brakes not feel as effective on tarmac?

In general SLRE cars need you to initiate braking quite early and slide a lot under braking.
In this specific case: Are you running on wet or dry tarmac?

Originally wasn't planning on getting this because of Dirt Rally only 2 weeks later, which I pre-ordered, but I caved.

Oddly I found that switching off both Brake Assist and ABS helped in this regard, it also seems to vary from car to car as well (as it actually should).

I just finished downloading the full game to my PS4, got my driver info set up and stuff. But now it wont let me race, all the menu items are grayed out and I cant select anything other than options. I did the test drive and both time trials but I still cant select career or anything.
Am I missing something?
Edit: Some googling I found other people had the same issue. Apparently the full game hasn't downloaded, despite the PS4 telling me it was in fact finished downloading. Frustrating. The download was only 4.791GB, can't be the full game. I suppose I will play this tomorrow.

I think the full game is around 35 GB.

Yeah, seems like for whatever reason the download showed as only about 5GB and was "installed" once the 5GB was complete. Looking at the information of the game it showed the game still downloading, but I was still able to start the game up and test drive the car and set up my driver info.
Either way, I didn't get to play it outside the test drive mode last night. But so far I think I will love this game. Always love rally games. Graphics are meh, but that's alright, what's important to me is how fun it is.

It's quite common on digital releases to allow you access to a small part while the rest is loading. Sniper Elite 3 did it, as did Project Cars.

Yep it caught me out with Project Cars as that limits you to one car and one track until the full install has completed.This I knew on the Xbox One, just never encountered it before on the PS4. At least the Xbox tells you the game is "ready to start", whereas the PS4 tells you it's "finished installing". You can see where the confusion might be.
