Bricks50 · Jan 24, 2022

Got it free, and so far it’s good for a FREE game.

Is this game dead? I bought some edition before Year 1 existed (pre-order) and thought it's for long time. Any new DLCs?

No updates for the past 5-6 months, so very likely dead.

Exactly. They changed my version to Year 1 and it's maybe the last year. I expected a bit more for the full price.

The marketing for the upgraded version has been "year 1" since the game released. Not sure what the terminology was on it before that, but I don't recall promises of any content outside what came with year 1 or whatever label they slapped on the preorder version.

I bought normal version with some pass (something like ultimate?) and after release they created Year 1 edition. And after some time my version changed too. Don't know why but I have a feeling year 1 is the last one.

There are no notes on the Dirt 5 discord either. @PJTierney - anything interesting, or just housekeeping?

Nothing I can share at the moment, but if I can get some patch notes out I’ll share them here

I installed the game again and wow it's still great! It's sad it's rather dead now.

The patch added support for VRR on PS5. Once your PS5 firmware is updated you can try it out if you have a compatible display.

VRR is nice but I played whole career on Xbox with it already. PS version is good because of DS. I will test it ASAP. I love games with 120 FPS and that's the reason I support CM. Grid and F1 :sly:

Would someone care to explain what the game Dirt is before I invest in it. I researched about this a few weeks ago but what are your opinions on the franchise? Is it worth buying or not?

LOL, PS5 can't do VRR on my monitor. Strange is Xbox can do it since release.

It's great action racing game. You don't need to be very precise and just enjoy fast racing on dirt. It's rather good dirt physics where you slide a lot. I pre-ordered it and the price was higher than should be but fore current prices it's great. Sad is it's just one year game, I wanted more. CM can do good games but they are rather pricey at release and have short support or are rather small.

You can't find anything similar anywhere else, the game is great and Evolution Studios was part of it.

Interesting view:

Do you think it will be out of date in a year?

I thought I could buy expensive game with long support. Amplified edition looked good. They moved it to Year 1 edition and it looks like one year was last year and DLCs wasn't as good as they could. The game has superb graphics with good physics and deserved much more.

If it's like Grid 2019, Dirt 6 could be much bigger. The question is will anybody trust it?

I don't think trust is important here. Because people will play what they like, and if they don't like it, they won't play it. :cheers:

It's everything. Nobody buys CM games anymore. It's based on their experience.

OMG, I played Dirt 5 on Xbox since release and year ago I bought it for PS5 as well. From time to time I play it there and the game is great. It's really good game and we don't have anything similar. It feels even better to me now because I know exactly what it brings. Can recommend to anybody for shorter sessions.

I'm really happy for you that still enjoy this game. But it's a shame that most people won't spend more than 50h on it. None of the players I follow has more than 70h of play time. The same thing I see happening with Grid Legends. Maybe is just a coincidence and just my friends don't like playing anymore after ending.
Can I ask you what is your play time so far?

I was rather surprised because I wasn't completely happy with it before. The graphics and action settings is so good. It's still great and 120 FPS on consoles. Most people probably "played" the game on Youtube and then they don't know. I rather buy bad game but being sure about it.

My main problem is Forza Horizon, I have over 1500 hours in H4 and about 400 in H5. These are games competing for my time against Dirt 5. Overall the game is rather good. I don't like Gymkhana or autocross with weird gravity. 90s rally racing is amazing. We even have garage with cars and you can check them, I love that, it's like Forzavista.

I need to dig the numbers first but it shouldn't be high. I did almost all races with all DLCs. Not much Gymkhana or bad gravity car.

Well I am thinking about downloading it from the PS Store for my birthday and trying it, it should be fun and interesting!
