Codemasters just announced Dirt 4

I hope they still keep the emotion and tone of the co-driver's voice in there. I liked when I wrecked and the co-driver sounded so disappointed in me.

It's going to be a woman this time around? I think I've heard that somewhere.

What I actually wanted to post. Shure had a video about DiRT 4 sound recording:

This looks awesome. It reminds me how much I miss free roam modes in racing games where you can discover things and just drive around aimlessly.

Nice! Love that free roam area. And I believe he said there's more than 1 map? Or maybe it's just the one map that gets expanded. Either way that shit looks sick.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe you can go male or female co-driver. I believe they're actual people from the rally scene as well. I liked the female one from the video I saw, she sounds a lot more chill than DiRT Rally's one.


Classic.

Phht, I see how it is, Codemasters.

I think it's an over-reaction

Very good price for my country in the Xbox Store: 549 argentinean pesos (roughly $35).
I preordered immediately given how much I loved Dirt Rally.

had a great time with dirt rally. ruined dirt 1-3 for me tho. they're garbage compared to dirt rally. looks like dirt 4 will be similar to dirt rally (dat simulation mode). hoping it be sweet.

that repair mode is gonna tick some people off probably... NOT ME, i love that kinda stuff.

Yeah, I’m actually loving the look of the interface and UI, seems like a lot has been done to improve the “career” aspects of the game.

250 Reais, (roughly 80 dollars) on the Brazilian PSN. I really don't understand why Codemasters translates everything to Brazilian Portuguese when their prices are so ridiculous here. F*ck, Dirt Rally still costs that on the PSN. Thank God I can play on the PC.

Anybody have a complete list of locations? I thought they had released it but I can't seem to find it now.

EDIT:
Nm I found it

Fitzroy in Australia
Tarragona in Spain
Michigan in the United States
Värmland in Sweden
Powys in Wales

Side note: I've been thinking about the procedurally generated tracks a lot. I wonder if there will be some kind of co-pilot simulator that just reads out the upcoming turn characteristics. I could see myself losing hours on an endless mode with that.

I hope we can take those crosskarts on rally tracks. Be a shame if they are only on rallycross tracks. Whole reason I found out about crosskarts in the first place was because they started to appear at rally and hillclimb events.

Link doesn't work for me. Of course the co-driver will work with generated tracks or what did you mean?

There is a limit to the length of a generated track though. I think they said ~15 minutes (or was it 20??) will be the most you can get out of it per stage (and that's gonna a narrow one with a gazillion corners). In DiRT Rally I think Pikes Peak was the longest and that's about 11 minutes

Is this the same guy who posts on GTPlanet forums who Polyphony ignored when he applied for a position on the GT audio team?

Reject the talent of Codemasters and Sector3, proceed to fill new game with new shit audio - what a bunch of cretins at Polyphony.

Maybe he can't speak Japanese? No japanese language skills often leads to zero chance of getting a job in Japan, if i am to assume the position he sought for was based in japan. Not saying that is the reason but it is a possibility.

if what they've been saying all along is true, that dirt 4 can be just as hardcore sim as rally was, then the game will kick all sorts of ass. but i have to say, all the trailers just scream sequel to dirt 3 arcade style "hooning". Not that dirt 3 was a bad game, but if the series reverts away from the awesomeness of rally i'll definitely be disappointed. hopefully i'm just worrying for nothing.

Anyone know if there will be online multiplayer for rally?


Don't want to just play Rally cross with friends.

Nice video but I think the message would have been delivered in a more meaningful way with longer clips from cockpit POV. Having pro drivers talk about fear, adrenaline, crashes, blind corners interspersed by brief miscellaneous replay footage was a missed opportunity.
 
Here's a good look in particular, first hour+ of rally on simulation handling
https://youtu.be/Ld9dwVOCXSM

- The distraction elements sound interesting. (drones, animals, crashed cars, etc.)

- The track creator seems to work really well. I wonder just how many pieces the system can throw together before you notice any real repetition.

- The rally tracks that go through the town in Spain <3

- The surrounding rally atmosphere/presentation is improved over Dirt Rally, which is one of the few complaints I had about that game.

We also got to grab some gameplay w/racing wheel:

https://www.gamereactor.es/noticias/403093/Gameplay+de+Dirt+4+en+espanol+con+volante+y+pedales/

First clip is Rallycross, Montalegre, Portugal, VW Polo, Simulation Mode. Nice feeling and lol we forgot to take Joker Lap :D

Second clip is randomly-created track, Värmland, Sweden, Gamer Mode. You can really notice the difference between sim and gamer, even if sim doesn't seem exactly as 'hardcore' as Dirt Rally to me, if you know what I mean.

Really!? i feared this would be the case but everyone else has said its an evolved physics handling model from dirt rally. can you elaborate?

Meh, rallycross trailer. I strongly dislike rallycross. I'm hoping I can skip it entirely in DiRT 4.

I like rallycross. The problem is that the tracks are usually not enough to the real potential of the cars, and the small number of tracks makes it a shallow experience.

By "not exactly hardcore as Dirt Rally" you mean that it's more realistic, hence more intuitive?

I think Dirt Rally might still be better simulation yeah, but that's just after 90 min session (only 30 in Sim Mode). I'm playing some more Dirt Rally now to draw a more exact comparison come review. This is more beautiful though and randomizer is much better than expected, so cool a feature.
