Everyone with PSVR, please buy this DLC! I want all of their future racing games to have VR modes.

Fuck yea...the best of the old Dirt games and the option to use the hardcore physics of Dirt Rally?
Sounds amazing. Sign me up!

Bit disappointed the team weren't working on a road/production car game. I mean, DR hasn't been out that long, and what is this going to do different? I hope they improve the wheel feedback in this one, it was awful in DR. Not a fan of the physics of DR either.
Ex-Evo guys are probably working on the next Grid. And Dirt Rally left a vacuum for an arcade Dirt game, so it makes sense bringing Dirt 4 this year, and with the good stuff from Dirt Rally to please the hardcore crowd.
Honestly, I was disappointed with the FFB on Dirt Rally too, but the physics is amazing! What's wrong with it? =o

I like Dirt Rally, but it's a little too sim heavy for me. Hopefully this splits the difference between sim and arcade like the pervious entries did

I hope they make psvr compatible.

Please please please have PSVR support. I bought Dirt Rally as soon as they announced it is coming. Dirt Rally is great but not going to lie, it's too difficult for me. The news that Dirt 4 will have 2 styles of play sim like Rally and a more arcade style like Dirt 3 is brilliant for everyone. Best of both worlds

Sweet! Make the handling model "throw your car around like a Swedish god" arcade thrills of Dirt 2 & 3 more than the "struggle to even keep your unwieldy car on the road" po-faced realism of Dirt Rally.
Loved all the games up until Rally, couldn't get on with it at all.
Tentatively excited for this.

Cautiously excited. I loved Rally but hated Dirt 3.

I loved the Gymkhana stuff, I'd often load up Dirt 3 just to boot a car around the arena for 20 minutes or so to blow off steam.
Also, I loved the hyper-real, super saturated visuals of the previous Dirt games, maybe not massively realistic but so so pretty.
I can't begin to explain how disappointed I was with Rally, having spent hours and hours each with the previous games I deleted it after an hour or two. What the fuck was that handling model man? It's like there was an opposing magnet pushing against the bonnet of your car, constantly veering you off course. And the pace notes? Reams and reams of the stuff, always seemingly delivered about a second too late.
Urgh, that game...awful stuff, I hated it.

I attended the preview event today and can confirm that it does run at 60fps on PS4... sort of. The HUD elements were definitely 60fps, however, the game seemed to dip at times depending on the amount of action on the screen.
Unfortunately, direct capture was not available. I'm uploading a video of purely gameplay (word of warning: I am terrible). If anyone is interested in seeing my early impressions you can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1R5erH4Rew
I haven't played any of games in the Dirt series so I can't really comment too much on how it compares to the older games. I can imagine people who own steering wheels are going to love this game.
pretty pretty pls? i see people commenting on this and i dont know what its about.
the handling was far more realistic. it is tough to go break neck speeds down narrow ass bumpy roads. but i can definitely see how it would be jarring for someone used to, or looking for, something more like dirt 2 and 3 (part 1 was less arcadey than those but still not really a sim... and was funky).
to your last complaint though, you can change how far out calls are made in the options. while default works for the most part there are definitely times when some calls come too late. i stepped it down one notch and it helps.
awesome!
the track creator thing is not what i was expecting.. but still pretty cool. gameplay look slike the arcade handling? do you know if thats what at least your own footage showed?
also, and maybe this plays into the "complexity" slider, but the road itself, the surface, looks really smooth. which is not at all how it was in rally... still concerned this is literally dirt 4 as a sequel to 2 and 3 but with the option for sim handling. the tracks themselves better still have the technicality of dirt rally's.
Cheers for the video, was good to see footage and hear your impressions. You mentioned playing on the lowest difficulty - was there any option to have flashbacks at all? (i.e. Rewind about 10 seconds or so if you have an accident)
Also it looks like they've gone with a much more natural visual style than 1-3, a shame as I really liked the way 2 and 3 looked.
Wonder if they'll still have split screen multiplayer in it? Dirt Rally was missing it which was a bit frustrating.
Basically they confirmed that the game has two types of handling (one arcade like Dirt 1, 2 and 3, and the other is a full sim like Dirt Rally), an almost infinite number of tracks (there's a track generator), and they also said that Ken Block hasn't been around this time.

Well if nothing else I would guess that this DIRT will have post launch support. I love DIRT rally but the lack of any sort of new countries/tracks/cars hurt its replability for me since there aint much there.

Wow that's nice. I've been waiting for a price drop to get Dirt Rally cause it looks like a lot of fun. Guess I'll just wait for Dirt 4

Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a typical arcade game and visually nothing special. Track creator is a nice touch though
Oh hell yeah. Racing is rolling.
I've gotta mess around with that terrain/route generation tool. If it works, that's amazing. They've tended to be pretty weak when attempted in the past. Frankly, if making distinct/fun roads was as simple as a button press, we'd see a lot more track content in racing games.

Day 1. Looks like they learned a lesson about Dirt 3. I couldn't be bothered with that title. Dirt Rally is amazing and now we're going to see some upgrades based on the power of the Pro and Scorpio. We all win.

I really enjoyed Dirt 3, hopefully this turns out well sounds/looks promising.
Nice! Thanks for sharing, I have no doubt the final game will run @ a steady 60fps (especially on the Pro). Nice lighting upgrade over Dirt Rally (and trees).

Here's another video from Reverb Shock with just gameplay footage.

Shows some of the menus and whatnot as well. Haven't looked at it thoroughly but I believe we get a glimpse of the "Your Stage" thing.

That's looks like it's 60fps no?
Edit: nvm just seen the above post. I should learn to read before jumping in.
No DLC for DiRT Rally and directly to DiRT 4 ... idk
Also... I had hoped for a new GRID game with a graphics engine helped by the Evolution guys
I was hoping too the ex-Evolution guys will push the new GRID but Rushy said it's a totally new IP made from scratch. Maybe starting from scratch will be better, but I think we will have to wait a bit longer than we would like to see some kind of Driveclub 2 on PC.
A new DIRT mixing Rally with 2 & 3 and VR seems cool enough for the time being. Really hope Paul and his team get all the time they need to make the game as perfect as they can.

I loved Dirt and the different classes. I didn't even know about big ass truck racing until then. The gymkhana stuff turned people off, but would have been fine if they had a different career structure or something.

Is that Driveclub's track creator that was hidden in the gamecode? 😢
Scum Sony.

I'd say my biggest issue with DiRT 1-3 was the presentation and how bad it was to do the campaign. Way too much commentary and leading you around while not letting you skip shit.
Luckily DiRT Rally fixed those things, and plus they got exEvo dudes there who destroyed it with their Driveclub menus.
