EA Sports WRC detailed gameplay

As long as it leans to the sim sonde of things like the dirt rally games I’m in. I never liked their arcade handling model in the dirt 5 and the other arcade rally games. Always fealt too light and the cars just lacked feel and weight. Made it hard for me to really immerse in those versions. Still play dirt rally 2.0 so I’m hoping this will be a worthy successor. Just be dirt rally 3.0….. for real. That will be good enough for me.

I sunk so many hours in Dirt rally 2.0, with a controller though sadly, i wish i had that kind of setup :


That is sick. Wish I had one of those too. I have a Logitech G920 and I makes these kinds of games entertaining and more immersive. I just have a foldaway wheel and pedal stand. Drive from my couch.



I think I drive better than that guy though. I have McRae like reactions behind the wheel. I don’t think any gaffers can really top any of my times in these kinds of rally games. Maybe somebody should set up a neo- time attack, table just to prove my point.

Thats nothing, mate. I drove the cars in Grand Prix Legends with a Joystick all the time back in 2004-2005 on my PC.


Seems like there is no monetization, which is good news.

Just the same old guff, over and over and over and over and over..

When are we going to get the 'build your crappy mid range car with duff body kits and take it down McDonald's or race round town' sim!?

I want this game! And without shitty haircuts and 'yo yo yo' talk..

..Yeah, this rally game looks good though. Dirt rally 2.0 will take some beating, mind you. It's fucking awesome 👌

Graphics look pretty bad for current gen systems, especially considering this game is running on Unreal Engine, but at least the game looks to be fun.

Thank all the gods, no Gymkhana. Not only do I hate that shit in my Rally games, but I hate the word itself and even reading it is an embarrassment akin to reading and/or speaking the word "Hoonigan". May it all die in a fire.

Will buy this to support.

It looks great, though I have to nitpick: Why are all the cars so shiny? I know, reflections are nice and everything, but compare it to the real life footage they use later in the video. Sort of "uncanny valley", but for vehicles.

Graphics are from 10 years ago, hard to find that acceptable from a big publisher that will have plenty of microtransactions in the game.

So, is it a good thing or a bad thing that EA has their hand in this? EA was the bee's knees for racers back in PS1-2 era..

I still play Dirt 1 on PSVR at least once a month. Absolutely phenomenal. Hard as nails, but so much fun. If only Sega Rally 1 & 2 were bright to VR. *Sigh

Will keep an eye on this though.

I've moved to the south part of my country so I won't be enjoying any gorgeous winter landscape IRL this year. But I might get this game, park the car and just enjoy seeing the snow fall outside.

Bad ass? That’s a bit much don’t you think? Lol….. I’m just a better driver than you is all…. Doesn’t make me a bad ass though. I’m just better at rally than you. You don’t have to be a bad ass to have skill. 😅😅😅




So we having this rally tournament or what?

But you're probably better than him in games with your G920 right?

At least you have the attitude of a real driver, i'll tell you that.
I’m more of a McRae fan… and a firm believer in the phrase ….. “When In doubt… go flat out”. That’s why rally is fun. Literally takes you to the edge of your reactions and abilities as a driver. It’s a beautiful sport.

RickMasters RickMasters to feature in the next Gran Turismo movie.
Only if I get to be the villain… and I want a black and red racing suit….. the villian always gets the Cool yet menacing black and red racing suit. And my car better be a GT3 RS! And when I pass people The camera gotta sweep into the car to catch me giving them the Luigi death stare from Mario kart. Easter eggs innit? 👊🏿😂



Edit: I just notice all my neogaf ads are suddenly michelin ads. And now I’m suddenly thinking about that hooning around a certain yellow and blue ford escort Cossie 😂😂

Just saw a video on WRC and it was said that this game won't be simulation level of Richard Burns Rally. I find that a little bit disappointing, i was hoping for a new Reference in Rally simulation.
I have to say my excitement went from 100 to 20.
