Just started playing tonight and already had a truly ass-clenching moment.

This game is fantastic.
 
So, is it posible to take 1-2 turns without a clutch? I dont know if I need to buy one to remain competitive. Using "o" button isn't that comfortable

I'm using a T300rs

Bought it on PS4 today as well, only 47 euros! This game is surely amazing so far, it reminds me of the pure Rally games like CMR.

Im not that great yet but its amazing

Does this play like the other two rally racers on Xbone? WRC and the other one I can't remember the name of.

WRC is more arcade like, SLR is probably a bit closer to DR, I think the physics in SLR are actually pretty good, shame the rest of it is a bit pants.
 
what the hell why is this game £55 digitally on xbox one? it's only £40 in stores and that comes with the blu-ray documentry too.

what an online rip off, codies.

WRC5 is also only 30fps on console.

It's not just Codies, so it's unfair to tar them specifically, it happens with every release, but if it bothers you, just buy it from another, cheaper, territory.

I know a lot of 3rd parties have high digital prices, but do they even try to work out a fair price or just say "ok." and be done with it?

I also refuse to add my card to XBL again so I can't do that other method unless I go looking for digtal credit codes for another region and faff about that way, which I dislike doing.

I'm not sure how it works, but I wonder if the storeholders insist on the product hitting the RRP, where as other stores don't have to adhere to the RRP.

As for codes, just get them from Amazon.

Where did you get it for 47€?! I am on the fence with this one, I expect it to drop in price quickly...

Just started this downloading on my PS4, have the PC but my PC doesn't run it very well. Looking forward to having a proper go!

Damn expected to get super hooked on the rally part but now I'm kinda addicted to Rally cross at the moment. They really nailed it.

New version of Pikes Peak, a few new cars, and a whole load of new tutorial videos.

Just checked it out now. The tutorial videos should be very useful for newcomers if it's included in the console version. If you are struggling watch them, especially the one one pacenotes.

They are included yes.

How do you properly turn with the 70s Lancia Stratos? It seems like when I turn I can never correct myself and turn in the opposite direction, the car just keeps turning until I spin out.

I just stop accelerating, correct, and accelerate again. That car is notoriously "oversteery".

Or you can shortshift and countersteer to correct the trajectory of the car. One can also push the brakes pedal a little bit to add weight to the front of the car to regain control.

I reckon it would do no harm, as much as I have had the PC version since Early Access times this does feel like the launch of the "complete" game.

Got my PS4 copy. I didn't know that the retail version came along with a Bluray documentary about Colin McRae - sweet! :)

A new thread for the entire product?,or separate thread for the console launch?

Not a fan of a separate thread for the console launch TBH, there is a lot of knowledge from PC players you'd potentially lose if you did that.

I don't think it needs split OTs for PC and console, but the even the PC seems like it got a substantial update. Racing games need all the help they can get nowadays :/
 
^^im at the part about the Stratos now. hope i find it drivable in game. such a sexy car.

Well it's in the game but i wouldn't call it exactly drivable.
Seriously do not buy this car in-game unless you have some experience. I jumped from the cooper s to the stratos and it was a nightmare. It's really nice on tarmac but on the loose stuff that car is like riding a bull, it constantly wants to get away from you.

Thread worthy?

I feel like the console launch is getting buried in the OT a bit.Really want Codies to get their sales up with this, it's just such a fucking phenomenal game.

Yeah i feel this way too.

Just about to fire it up and give it a go. I won't be able to get my wheel set up the until tonight, which is a bummer so ill need to make do with my DS4 for this afternoon.

I won't buy it anytime soon. just crashed and bailed out of my first career event in the mini. rough start! ;p

I like the sentiment, but not sure how a new OT would make any impact, the same impact could be made by just renaming this existing OT saying the game is now complete.

If someone wanted to make a console OT, that's fine by me. As I said, I'll try and get this OT updated sometime tonight and if not, this week, so as to include the new stuff added in the console release. I'll also PM a mod to see if they can change the title for me to include console release.

For the 70's car.. New players i recommend you the Fiat or the Escort. Escort is a bit more of a handful. Fiat is a great beginner's car to RWD's.

crashed out on Greece but I'm doing much better on Monte Carlo so far. it's cmig back to me a bit.

trying hard not to go flat out is helping. my major problem so far has been locking up the wheels and causing understeer. feathering and tapping is my friend.

Wouldn't want to split off the OTs, was just wondering if the launch trailer is thread worthy - as mentioned, this is the full games launch for all players.

Go for it then, as long as there is a decent amount of info in it, threads have been made for less......

Ive managed to get 2 trophies for crashing and I've only driven 2 stages, result!

Tuesdays be like... ;)

I don't think that Mini is the perfect starting car (to learn how to drive in the game). The amount of understeer in that car... omg. I had to drastically change the recommended setup to make it better. Also it's so slow you're not learning much. ;)
