PC Demo released



Track:
• Montecarlo - Sisteron
Cars:
• Mini Cooper S (70s)
• Peugeot R5
• Polo Rally Car

Game mode:
• Rally single stage
• Playground Time Attack and Challenge Time Attack – a technical location where the player can test the reactions of the car on different surfaces like asphalt and dirt road
 
The NA release is actually faster than previously. I think it was almost a full year later for WRC3 and something like six months for WRC4 - it just didn't happen at all for the first two titles...so they are getting better and at least the distributors are well known.
 
Full stage



I read in quite a few places that the graphics are so "2005" , looks like a PS3 game and that it doesn't look pretty. I wonder on what basis people say this :confused:

Maybe the textures leave room for improvement but once again when I look at the Monaco stage it has a fantastic atmosphere.
 
:lol:

I saw this in the comments of the trailer.

I tried the Demo out today for PC and it needed a few settings tweaked before it felt decent. Something made it so that the first half of travel of my gas pedal was the brakes and the second half of travel the gas, at first I thought they had just made engine braking extremely strong. I was ready to write it off as terrible but it was a mostly the wacky defaults.
I also noticed having to apply a lot more steering angle to get any turning done, (at 900 degrees) turning it down to 720 helped make it feel more natural.

I'm not sure that it feels as good as Dirt Rally but its close.


On thing I hope they can address is the arm animations, while crossing over at one point your arm will simply block half of your view, and if you happen to need that particular angle of the wheel for a moment prepare to see nothing until you move the wheel again. Hopefully we can simply disable the arm animations if they dont end up changing them.

it is pretty funny though, like I'm bracing for a crash.

Real life WRC cars have 540 degrees. Older 1970-80s cars have higher. I don't know if they modelled the different steering ratios for each car but it's worth a try 👍
 
Can someone who has both demos tell me if there is à différence in the handling model? Has the sensitivity of the controller been ajusted?
 
The general consensus from the PC demo I have read elsewhere is not great. I'll hopefully get a chance to try it later tonight.
 
I think the only difference is in fps which makes the driving a little bit better with pad. I tried console and pc version with pad because it did not recognize my pedals.

Here´s some pad footage from me:


Sebastien Loeb Rally EVO | DEMO | VW Polo R Rally @ Monte Carlo

 
I agree with Jimmy Broadbent's video. If Dirt Rally didn't come out, this would be an alright game. It's definitely not the next Richard Burns but it is a good next step in the WRC series. If you're comparing this game as a simulator to Dirt Rally, there's definitely no competition.
 
Ugh, downloaded PC demo, spent 10 minutes wrestling with it to try and get it to recognise the inputs from my pedals instead of using the two digital buttons furthest from my reach as accelerator and brake.

It won't, and I can't be bothered arguing with the thing. I've got a Fanatec CSR, it should just work, and even if not it should take me all of thirty seconds to remap it.

Looked interesting, but I'll be sticking with Dirt Rally which worked perfectly out of the box.

I had similar issues, try going into the Control Options screen in the Options menu, press F2 to get to the wheel settings, press F2 again to auto calibrate the wheel (which you need to do manually, lol). Just remapping things didn't do the trick but calibrating it did.

Yep, tried it in the hope that it would give me an option to calibrate pedals too. Unfortunately not.
 
I enjoy SLRE. And I like Dirt Rally .....

Rally is a discipline that I appreciate but not enough to buy 2 different games. I must choose one.

What is your opinion ?

SLRE appears to be more complete and as a Frenchman, follow Loeb's career is necessarily enjoyable. Physics is close enough .....

Raaaa, I hesitate!

Shame that it takes a patch to support a "old" steering wheel

I think both will be good but I will choose SLR to begin with. Longer stages, more rare cars, nice handling (once used to it), very nice atmosphere.

Dirt Rally will be great as well but for me personally the cars in SLR are more to my taste.

I haven't played Dirt Rally so I can't comment on it's handling but Codemasters will sûre have done à good job on this one.

SLR needs to be given a serious chance because Milestone seems to have done a correct job !
 
Just tried the demo on PC, it definitely has potential but there's too many issues for me to want to buy it. At first I was playing with AA switched off completely and it seemed to run ok with only a few drops under 60fps but when I tried it with AA at 2x I was getting massive drops down to 30fps. In general the game looks very nice but without AA there's loads of jaggies which stick out really bad especially in the trees. After playing Dirt Rally at a solid 100fps it's hard to go back to 60 and anything under 60 is just nasty.

Pros:
- Physics are decent
-Graphics
-Replays, full stage cinematic shots are good

Cons:
-Audio is weak
-Poorly optimised
-Primitive PC port with no in-game graphics options

The first original announcement of the game only said Xbox and PS4. After like a couple weeks, they said that they'll port it to PC. It's quite obvious now as to why they didn't want to do it originally.
 
Downloaded the PC demo, I'm convinced not to buy the game instantly, it doesn't work at all. Well that's not being fair it does work, but no controls have any affect on the car and trying to go into the control options crashes the game. I'm not surprised really, it's milestone, you should expect it not to work.
