When are reviews? For the nov 3rd release or for tonight's midnight launch?
I already have it preloaded, but curious to see the overall score.
is it early access tomorrow for anyone who pre ordered? Mine is pre loading so I can play tomorrow right?
Preloaded on Steam and rearing to go. DR2.0 is my most played racer of this generation. Currently saving up for a Simagic Alpha DD setup, all sparked by this game.
Just something else to look forward to! I play with an Xbox controller myself, it's still so challenging and rewarding. Somehow. LolYea, I've been eyeing that simagic alpha mini for a while now, friend of mine has it and its amazing. Been remodeling the basement, so it'll definitely have a spot for a rig. In the meantime... xbox controller
Ehhh, both Dirt and Dirt 2 were great on a controller. I don't see the issue.Playing this game without a wheel is a crime, don't do it people.

I’m so confused.
If you pre-order you get to play it tomorrow but if you don’t you have to wait until Friday?
Never seen something like this before.
I've sunk a lot of time in DR2.0 and this looks honestly identical to it at best. I expected more after 4 years...
It's similar at a glance but it's got a lot more features. It's got a whole career mode with team management features, Rally school, car builder, choice of weather/time of day on each stage, more tracks and more cars. Honestly for something like a rally game this is all you need. Just a good roster of cars and tracks is enough for me as I'm a time trial junkie.I've sunk a lot of time in DR2.0 and this looks honestly identical to it at best. I expected more after 4 years...
Sure controller is fine but with a wheel you have another pedigree of enjoyment, especially with a game thats not arcade.Ehhh, both Dirt and Dirt 2 were great on a controller. I don't see the issue.
A wheel is nice and all, but do you have motion as well??? If not, then it is a crime.....Sure controller is fine but with a wheel you have another pedigree of enjoyment, especially with a game thats not arcade.
Maybe crime was a bit too hard and judgemental.
Will this be getting a 10-hour trial on GP/EAPlay?
Edit: It Does.
Is this 5 hour trial in the EA access or on the 3rd November when final game releases?Will this be getting a 10-hour trial on GP/EAPlay?

Cool thanks thats great to hear.Tonight at midnight EST
Preordering???
So it's Dirt Rally 2.0 but with a career mode that isn't "race race race race race race"But vanilla DR2.0 was bare-bone. It was sad. It started to become amazing after the bazillion DLCs.
This at launch has a lot of meat, from my previous preview thread :
17 locations
200 rally stages
80 rally cars
18 car classes, from two wheels beginnings to modern hybrids
Revamp of the handling model, better tarmac (i hope!). Feedback from real rally drivers
High quality recordings of the real cars
Spring / summer / Autumn / winter for all 200 stages
Stage over 30 km with UE engine
If identical by graphics... yea pretty much. But I'm mostly hoping for a way better tarmac handling and it seems they nailed it.

the graphics issues I experienced on my fairly powerful PC (RTX 3080 GPU, Ryzen 7 CPU) during the preview still existed in the full release. When stages reached small villages, framerates on my recommended Ultra settings dropped to below 20 frames per second. Sometimes, when going slightly off-track, the game would stutter for a half-second or more. Dropping the quality down to Medium mostly fixed it, but then the game looked awful. High graphics is where I landed, where I still struggled with frame drops but could play the game. The game looks good, but not good enough to warrant such bad performance. Let's hope that Codemasters addresses these shortcomings soon for the PC audience.
