World Rallycross game - Page 3

**BertMk2** · 2 Mar 2016, 11:05 (Ref:3619237)

I can't justify buying a PS4 just for one game - but my son does have an Xbox One so I might get DIRT for him (and 'test' it for him

).

Believe me guys the rallycross bit of Dort Rally is utterly stale.

It is onlty in the game for console release as noone would buy a sim on consoles without multuiplayer content.

The tracks are nicely modelled but there are only 3 of them and it is not worth buying for rallycross.

They are adding content to make it better, but right now the rallying side is far, far, far better.

Reiza Studios has launched a new game with some rallycross: Automobilista.

Well until I can afford a Supercar a PS4 and Dirt Rally is still the cheaper option, so I'm going for it!

(Sure I can find a few other decent games to pick up for it as well)

Forgive the double post but, just so everyone knows, it's out today!

I bough this on the Xbox store and my God, I don't think it'll ever finish downloading. My internet speed is decent but all support will do is blame that! I'm not a happy bunny and if I could get a refund, I would!

(I bought it yesterday and it's on 62% currently.)

Moral of this post- the disk is probably the better option!

You might be evern less of a happy bunny when you realise how much of an addon RX is oin the game, though I gather there are more classes and stuff, mainly to make console online users happy, as the previous RX copy was dull in the extreme!

I would seriously prefer more countries and stages to the RX stuff, but I understand why its there, there would be no real onine play otherwise and WRX at the moment does not really offer enough to warrant a full game, the tracks are too short and online would be very realistic, a demo derby.

iRacing is developing rallycross at the moment but it will be based on the GRC from the looks of it

I prefer disc options, but ended up getting Dirt Rally as a download: it is a huge download and I ended up leaving the PS4 in sleep mode for about 24 hours to get it!

They have added Mini (classic Minis) and Super 1600 classes to act as a gentle introduction to rallycross, rather than just dropping you straight into a Supercar. Having tried all three out, I actually find the Supercars easier to drive quickly as it's much easier to regain lost momentum with all the power. The Mini and Super 1600's require very tidy driving to get the best out of them.

Yeah, I would definitely like to see more tracks. Having said that the "alternate" circuit layouts work better then I was expecting, but it's still the full circuits that I want to play. Based on the reception that the rallycross has received from the masses it's going to be interesting to see where they take it now.

I've done a few races online now and, thus far, I'm actually surprised at how clean the racing has been. Perhaps I've just been lucky with the lobbies I've picked, but the last couple of Dirt games (with rallycross) were very hit and miss online.

Which other track would you add? I think Mettet would be a good one with a jump on the first corner to keep the masses entertained. Maybe add an alternative with that stupid chicane on the back straight removed

I think if you are going to add tracks, maybe Estering as it is permanent, mst of the ones used in WRX sadly are what I call car park tracks.

Estering and one of the French one, the one with the long joker lap is excellent.

I think their main focus will be on dirt oval racing. Huge market in the US.

I know but there will be rallycross. Saw a short clip of a Porsche, I think, jumping one of those gravel jumps they have in the GRC on some NASCAR track. They also released a picture of an animation of a Chip Ganassi Fiesta.

I saw the Porsche video and Fiesta pic too.

Rx is door by door racing....I think they have to adjust their safety rating system.
