crossfades should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Good to see those three rallies on the list, and good business by codies to announce it because that's real incentive to buy the Deluxe edition.
With DR and D4 having shortcomings in content rallying wise (they are rallying games after all), announcing beforehand that there will be more content if you are willing to pay for it minimises the base game itself. There isn't even snow in the base game for example, something that was even present on Colin McRea games on PS2.

It makes you wonder if they have taken out things from the base game, or things that could have been in the base game, just so they can sell it. DLCs should be developed after games are released, not before.

When it comes to rally games there is not much to choose from; WRC or Dirt, otherwise it's arcade games or going back to the 2000's for older rally games. I have played a lot of DR but it is somewhat repetitive and D4 might as well be an arcade game in many aspects. So basically it's either this, which looks to be a very good game, or taking a chance with WRC. It really annoys me that they have decided for this "season" stuff, it reminds of the practices of EA and Activision.
