This is a work in progress, early access version of the upcoming game from Codemasters called DiRT Rally... I've kinda given up on Codemaster's after DiRT3, but I read that "this is the game our fans have wanted"; and I heard it was more sim then ever before... now I don't know if that's true, never drove a real rally car, never really ever played a respectable sim of rally cars... but I have seen one of TV.

Based on past version, my first, uneducated opinion.. yes, this is more sim then ever before... why, because it was hard, narrow, and in real life I would of died 5 times on this first and only stage I've ever done.

BTW, I was using a game pad... sue me, One day I'll try it with my wheel, but dirt/rally games never seem made for a wheel... or visa versa most likely.

You start w/ 50k to buy your first car, and of course it's one of the 1960 models... to make you go up through the years and levels.

I'm embarrassed to share this...but anyway...

Not too many cars of each era, right?

Car goes over giant cliff, passenger casually looks at notepad. "This isn't on my chart"--SMASH

LOL Peally. Those are some sweet looking graphics. How does the camera view work Magnum? Nice camera angles. All post race?

actually screenshots are all in the one stage I ran... different camera views of course... the video is the replay.

Love that first corner where you went off camera and didnt come back for like 20 seconds

Cool! Always loved the DiRT series on ps3. May have to check this out.

Ya master, I was lost... No track map like before.

Why aren't you using the pace notes? the co-driver gives you all the info you need.

Must not be in yet, he never said a word.

bugger

Looking at some screenies I saw two of my favorite things: night driving and weather.

That's a bug, from what I'm reading. I've seen videos with the co-driver calling the turns.

Yeah night rally racing is a whole new ballgame. Out of the box for an alpha/beta release, the night visuals are excellent.

Concur on co-driver. No audio or map for assistance, yet, despite menu options turned on.

(Sorry, triple screens. Large resolutions compressed for the forums.)

A few more

Triple screen action.

More night action

Well, guess I had to buy it.

My first (clean) run replay;



Game plays and feels fantastic! However I need a lot of practice.

Night rally.... without co-driver! It's broken on my end.

They patched the co driver today, he works.
