6:10 while the co-driver reads his pace note, his voice is altered by the movement and vibration of the car, just like what one would find in the wrc onboard vids. That kind of detail gathers up for a great game.
I've played through all 6 locations, and, despite the graphics looking better, the tracks themselves are much more boring. Dirt Rally was a theme park in comparison - the tracks there are very iconic. Nothing really distinguishes the tracks in Dirt Rally 2.0.
dirt 2 looks better than both TBH, dirt 2 had realistic water drops all over the Wshield and the body of the car and moved with the wind higher textures,
If I understand correctly, the tracks are now dynamic. Meaning, it will change depending on how much cars have passed on it. This would explain why the track details looks worst on 2.0 than in the first one.
They lowered the texture quality of the roads, especially dirt and mud roads, because of the new track degradation system. If you are low in the rankings, you will be running low in the starting order and so more cars will have gone down the track ahead of you. This will leave the road degraded and even leave ruts full of mud and water that affect your handling where the previous cars have left tire tracks. I would take the slightly lower texture quality to have that kind of dynamic track.
It's most likely due to the fact of the better lighting, shadows, reflections, and particle effects. They sacrificed some detail in places where you'll never notice to keep the performance higher since you're driving at 50+ mph focusing purely on the track in front of you. People are seriously complaining about textures when during actual game-play you can't tell or notice the difference. smh
@@Nick930 Never change, man. There's a big difference between sounding like a cultural icon and just sounding annoying. You're definitely not annoying, dude!
I think Dirt rally 2.0 looks like they've added a lot to make it look more beautiful, but the result in my opinion is that it has become slightly less realistic, and feels more like a movie than real life, where all of the effects (especially lighting and shadows) are exaggerated. Both games look great in their own right. I think Dirt Rally 1 has a more neutral look which is trying to be as realistic as it could, and Dirt Rally 2.0 has more of a cinematic feel.
I remember upgrading from a 512KB to a 1MB video card back then.. I immediately said; "Why not have 32 MB of video RAM (or that much L2 on chip)?" My mentors looked at me like I was on acid. Ahh 1991
165 hours in dirt rally 1, loved every moment of it and in the first 26 or so hours of dirt rally 2, I've loved each hour twice as much as in dirt rally 1
Just couple of days ago I thought it would be nice if Nick makes comparison between these two games. And here it is! I like comprehensive and unbiased approach of your videos.
In the beginning of the sound comparison you can clearly hear dirt rally 2.0s car exhaust sounds reflecting off the barrier to the left of the car and bouncing back creating a nice depth effect. You can hear how close or far you are from objects or barriers just by the exhaust sound bouncing off objects. I liked that a lot
The reduced texture details are acceptable but the body of the car not showing any droplets while in the rain really bugs me. EDIT: Fixed my comment for those Grammar B̶i̶t̶c̶h̶e̶s̶ Experts out there. English isn't my first language so sorry I guess. . придурки...
I looked ingame and my car did have droplets on it. Maybe its a bug with the car he used? Or it isnt shown in rallycross for gpu reasons? (Multiple cars)
the sound is a LOT better in 2.0. Reverb off of barriers, chattering transmission sounds, and just generally more granular detailed sound. That's impressive. I loved the original so this is looking like a must buy for me - I'm hoping the realism of the handling is still there, it was a joy to play this coming from a true simulator background.
The lighting and weather effects are absolutely stunning in 2.0, I haven’t had the issue of it being to blinding as mentioned in the video. It really is quite something to behold when bombing through the stages. I’ve been playing on Xbox one X
Love how 2.0's sound design was re-vamped. Listen close and you'll hear the tires against the road re-acting to the slight lifts off the surface bouncing, skidding and such and you hear the vibration.
The lighting in Dirt Rally 2.0 seems nice at first, but I think it's too bright. A bit sun is fine, but Dirt Rally ( 1 ) seems more realistic, even if it's mostly cloudy.
I’m actually really impressed by the overall improvement. For me personally, I love these new lightning effects even they are a little bit to bright. It makes this game feel alive and really gives motivation to play this game
No but it is a big improvement over the handling (not perfect yet but slowly getting there). I think most people end up getting it for that. Who cares about graphics when everything is a blur in the cockpit anyways. Sure if you have the view from outside I'm sure it makes a difference, but from inside you don't have time to see much. The biggest improvement in 2.0 is that you have to control your throttle in the turns (especially in the wet), you can't you blame the accelerator or you will slide in the ditch. That is absolutely a game changer. I actually use Dirt rally to practice for real rally. The first one wasn't too realistic with its driving physics, although it did absolutely help me a lot to maintain control of my real rally car last month at my last rally on a couple occasions and actually on a close call on an icy highway a few months ago. It is really good at getting you to practice counter steering perfectly to maintain control.

Dirt Rally on PC looked beautiful on 4K high settings....so I can only imagine how good 2.0 is going to look with the improved lighting and weather effects.
Even though it is the same company making the second game,,,the original people that made the first game,,, some could have left the company,, moved on to other games,,, etc.. Years have passed,,, different people now work on the same game, end up changing it and making it worse with out knowing,, it is like that with every game !
Lighting in 1.0 was considerably more realistic than in Dirt 2.0. In the new game, it feels over-cinematic with over saturated scenes and insane levels of bloom. Honestly I prefer the first game in this area, since the new one comes across a bit overbearing.
You should add to these segments a UI/UX section. The UI in DR2 is brilliant, although it may be taking a bit too much from the Forza series, I feel like it gives the game a refreshing look and depth that puts a smile on your face, since that's what you see when you first launch your 60$ purchase.
I really think the improved physics are everything!!, the sounds are much more realistic too. Really like the new game, even if it didn't has that much of a texture and models improvement.
Much more of a fan of the 2.0 callouts. Much more realistic in the way of you can hear their voices reacting to the bumps in the rally track. Cool stuff.
Am I the only one that thinks Dirt rally 1 looks better and more photorealistics , compare to Dirt Rally 2 with so much Bloom and blur, and lighting effects that I hate it !
yeah all those effects make it looks more fantasy compare to real life, Dirt rally 1 simpler graphic looks closer to real life. Real life environment looks like shit for most of the time compare to the high graphic games, trust me.
I think you are right. Looking at 0:49, DR1 is just nailing it. The color balance is perfect. Go to a racetrack and take some daytime photographs, and this is the feeling you will get. I think DR2 is also very nice, but warm and decidedly game-like. They went OTT on the bloom again, reminiscent of early on in the franchise.
Whats your opinion about the handling of the cars guys? I think it's way to easy.. I mean.. in dirt rally, in Sweden I just sit on the end of my seat... but in 2.0 ...in USA with all those trees.. it feels like driving around in GTA 5
I cant remember what it's called but the first setting in the force feed back menu(I think it mixes all the force feedback values), reduce it from 100 to 15 & you will find it's greatly improved, not perfect though. I run a thrustmaster RGT (ancient tech) & I now get a fair bit of forcefeedback. (hehe 3rd copyt and paste, anyways, hope it helps)
I’d say the in car textures slight decrease is fine. It’s a more than justifiable sacrifice in order to improve the game else where. Overall the game is better. Better graphics and lighting, better handling, better sounds. The physics, sound effects and visuals are improved in 2.0 maybe I should get it.
Visuals look much better lighting wise, tho they should carry over details for interiors from 1st game. Sound is orgasmicly good in Rally 2.0, it has this natural variance that you hear in real life cars, instead of EXACLY the same sound everytime they rev. Interior sound effects seem to be a bit better in 1st Dirt Rally tho. Damage seems to be a bit better in 2nd game too. Road surfaces quality could be sacrificed due to new system that deteriorates the gravel progressively tho it isnt the case for tarmac so it being a bit worse is weird. In general Dirt Rally 2.0 looks better and has presentation of much more alive world, while 1st game feels a bit dead except for Sunset conditions lighting where orange glow helps it out a bit.
Most of these "downgrades" are just due to a shift in focus. Codemasters stated that they wanted the game to feel more like a "serious sim". As such they prioritized physics and handling over looks. Most serious sim racers will tell you that if you don't use cockpit view, or some variation thereof, you're doing it wrong. (This is not to say that people who want to treat as just any other racing game aren't allowed to use different viewing orientations.) But it does kind of justify their decision to not implement a lot of the details that were present in it's predecessor. Like anyone is gonna notice most of those while shredding through the countryside at 100+ mph anyway. :D And on top of that, even with the lack of details, 2.0 looks a lot better simply due to the better lighting and reflections. Very detailed comparison though! Good video.
The biggest problem for me is car handling, it is very unrealistic. I rallied a mini cooper MK1 1969 for 7 years. In Dirt rally the handling is pretty good a minin is naturally very stable you can throw the car around in any conditions on any surface and know it will stay on track where you want it inch perfect, in Dirt rally 2.0 the mini cooper slides around all over the place, this is totally unrealistic, it is nothing like a real mini, if a real mini was like this people would being getting killed every second of the day. The same applies to most of the other cars. Now I only rallied as an amateur but I know enough to understand car handling dirt rally has it pretty good 2.0 is a long way from right. They say they have improved the physics, I really want to know how because certainly with regard to the historical cars it is in most cases far, far worse and if it were a real car it would be instant death.
Wow not that would be something, VR for 2 yeah i would be a VR just for that or should i say 2 sets lol. Yeah you've hit the nail on the head (Game changer) also if we could make it super hard, pace notes for the second being the co driver to call out in a 2 player mode .
FIA made only Arcade games and WRC it's totally boring game. Better made independent game with many various updates like buy every year same shit from FIA for big names. People forgot what's real motorsport today... Hopefully they can add AP4 class in DR 2.0
Visually the game looks about the same as the previous one. I like the change to the cockpit sound were the gearbox whine is more pronounced. Once it has VR support this will be a buy for me.
Codemaster you are not getting my 60 bucks!!! Dirt games are always day one purchase until 2.0. Always online for single player campaign seriously. Holding back standard stuff like snow levels as paid dlc, releasing half the game for 60 bucks. Dirt games used to be a safe haven from this nonsense. Add some lighting effects and? Another half ass game wanting to milk your. pockets.
@@Tintop Doesn't excuse the horse-shit they're pulling. That isn't even mentioning how the single-player campaign is held hostage behind their god-awful always-online RaceNet system that's barely functional and constantly wipes your progress, makes you wait upwards of 10 seconds to perform any basic action like repair your car or pick a new one, you get the idea. It's not just about the cost involved for the end-user, it's the principle behind the way the product was designed. And by fucking god is it awful here.
@@RawAustin although i agree that 'always online' is a misstep from codemasters, if this is as much of a problem as you described, how come it's not really been mentioned in any reviews? Or is it a recent issue thats appeared since the game was released?
@@listerofsmeg884 It's more a thing since release due to what I can only presume to be server-side strain that CodeMasters poorly prepared for. Some guys who played the beta mentioned it was almost A-OK during that period, but it's gotten exponentially worse since release. Maybe it's a PC only thing? I don't know what the console situation is like but if you head over to DR2's Steam page you'll notice the reviews were initially very positive but have now seen a wave of negative ones roll in, all complaining about the same thing: RaceNet.
I'm very interested in Dirt 2.0 - Being a Gran Turismo fan I still would like a game that has this much realism but also teaches you about Rally racing. Like exactly how changes to the cars suspension, motor and transmission effects the feeling of the car. Track history and car manufacturers that support Rally. Video features and voice overs without pointless grinding or loot boxes/microtransactions.
I'm happy with Dirt Rally, it runs good on my machine and apparently, its almost as awesome as 2. My computer is like Gizmo, it wouldn't handle those bright lights anyway, poor fella.

2.0 looks better in my oppinion. There was this strange lighting in dirt rally, but still, in 2.0, some spectatiors seem to glow in a strange way.
It's the bloom effect. All dirt rally games have had it and I agree it's a bad implementation.
2.0 sound is just more “natural.” It feels close if that makes sense. Like the sound is so clear its like your there. Its that good!

Dirt Rally 1 definitely wasn't realistic graphically. It felt extremely washed out compared to real life in any weather.
listening in semi open headphones. the environmental and car sound was awesome in dirt rally 2, those echoes and reverb braaaap. damn.

I think you are right. Looking at 0:49, DR1 is just nailing it. The color balance is perfect. Go to a racetrack and take some daytime photographs, and this is the feeling you will get. I think DR2 is also very nice, but warm and decidedly game-like. They went OTT on the bloom again, reminiscent of early on in the franchise.
Whats your opinion about the handling of the cars guys?
I think it's way to easy.. I mean.. in dirt rally, in Sweden I just sit on the end of my seat... but in 2.0 ...in USA with all those trees.. it feels like driving around in GTA 5
Great comparison …. Also there is no FFB road feeling on Dirt rally 2.0 , I hope they fix it
I cant remember what it's called but the first setting in the force feed back menu(I think it mixes all the force feedback values), reduce it from 100 to 15 & you will find it's greatly improved, not perfect though. I run a thrustmaster RGT (ancient tech) & I now get a fair bit of forcefeedback. (hehe 3rd copyt and paste, anyways, hope it helps)
@@p00ky76 i have it on 50 . 100 is way to much . the problem is there is no road effects.
Sound design is better tho, i love also how the guys voice doesn't feel studioish, feels like he sits beside you.
Love this game! Defenitly better then the first Dirt Rally
-Dirt Rally / 8.5
-Dirt Rally 2.0 / 9.0
I’d say the in car textures slight decrease is fine. It’s a more than justifiable sacrifice in order to improve the game else where. Overall the game is better. Better graphics and lighting, better handling, better sounds. The physics, sound effects and visuals are improved in 2.0 maybe I should get it.
2:13 yeah those cones totally look the same...
Its the lighting
I have 2.0 and i Can say that the turbo and car sounds have improved a lot it sounds nice
In 2.0 the co-driver sounds like he's in a recording booth.
Your voice is very nice. Almost a radio voice style.
Dirt rally 2 is good but I've gone back to 1.
Why
Your videos are amazing thank you
I'd rather have higher fps than have stitching on some gloves that I don't even look at
Visuals look much better lighting wise, tho they should carry over details for interiors from 1st game. Sound is orgasmicly good in Rally 2.0, it has this natural variance that you hear in real life cars, instead of EXACLY the same sound everytime they rev. Interior sound effects seem to be a bit better in 1st Dirt Rally tho. Damage seems to be a bit better in 2nd game too. Road surfaces quality could be sacrificed due to new system that deteriorates the gravel progressively tho it isnt the case for tarmac so it being a bit worse is weird. In general Dirt Rally 2.0 looks better and has presentation of much more alive world, while 1st game feels a bit dead except for Sunset conditions lighting where orange glow helps it out a bit.
*_keep it up_* and *_make it big_* :)
wew xD
Most of these "downgrades" are just due to a shift in focus. Codemasters stated that they wanted the game to feel more like a "serious sim". As such they prioritized physics and handling over looks.
Most serious sim racers will tell you that if you don't use cockpit view, or some variation thereof, you're doing it wrong. (This is not to say that people who want to treat as just any other racing game aren't allowed to use different viewing orientations.) But it does kind of justify their decision to not implement a lot of the details that were present in it's predecessor. Like anyone is gonna notice most of those while shredding through the countryside at 100+ mph anyway. :D And on top of that, even with the lack of details, 2.0 looks a lot better simply due to the better lighting and reflections.
Very detailed comparison though! Good video.
Dirt Rally for me - especially because of the physics. Graphics are very nice in 2.0 though!
The biggest problem for me is car handling, it is very unrealistic. I rallied a mini cooper MK1 1969 for 7 years. In Dirt rally the handling is pretty good a minin is naturally very stable you can throw the car around in any conditions on any surface and know it will stay on track where you want it inch perfect, in Dirt rally 2.0 the mini cooper slides around all over the place, this is totally unrealistic, it is nothing like a real mini, if a real mini was like this people would being getting killed every second of the day. The same applies to most of the other cars. Now I only rallied as an amateur but I know enough to understand car handling dirt rally has it pretty good 2.0 is a long way from right. They say they have improved the physics, I really want to know how because certainly with regard to the historical cars it is in most cases far, far worse and if it were a real car it would be instant death.
It would be cool if you could have 2 player in VR with someone else as the co driver
its called have your buddy talk in your ear while you play lmao
Wow not that would be something, VR for 2 yeah i would be a VR just for that or should i say 2 sets lol.
Yeah you've hit the nail on the head (Game changer) also if we could make it super hard, pace notes for the second being the co driver to call out in a 2 player mode .
I enjoyed the previous Rally 1 and now enjoying 2:0 a lot, because the handling is much more challenging it’s a great game to play
You know you're playing a brand new game when it has DOWNGRADES!
Woah I was waiting for this comparison.
This Game is a motorsport video Game masterpiece! THE FIA should signe
Up Codemasters !!!
FIA made only Arcade games and WRC it's totally boring game. Better made independent game with many various updates like buy every year same shit from FIA for big names. People forgot what's real motorsport today... Hopefully they can add AP4 class in DR 2.0
i miss the WRC games made by Evolution Studios (R.I.P Evo Studios)
Visually the game looks about the same as the previous one. I like the change to the cockpit sound were the gearbox whine is more pronounced. Once it has VR support this will be a buy for me.
Codemaster you are not getting my 60 bucks!!! Dirt games are always day one purchase until 2.0. Always online for single player campaign seriously. Holding back standard stuff like snow levels as paid dlc, releasing half the game for 60 bucks. Dirt games used to be a safe haven from this nonsense. Add some lighting effects and? Another half ass game wanting to milk your. pockets.
just get a steam key for 50 bucks for the deluxe version that includes the upcoming seasons (aka the locations and some cars from Dirt Rally) ;)
@@Tintop Doesn't excuse the horse-shit they're pulling. That isn't even mentioning how the single-player campaign is held hostage behind their god-awful always-online RaceNet system that's barely functional and constantly wipes your progress, makes you wait upwards of 10 seconds to perform any basic action like repair your car or pick a new one, you get the idea.
It's not just about the cost involved for the end-user, it's the principle behind the way the product was designed. And by fucking god is it awful here.
@@RawAustin although i agree that 'always online' is a misstep from codemasters, if this is as much of a problem as you described, how come it's not really been mentioned in any reviews? Or is it a recent issue thats appeared since the game was released?
@@listerofsmeg884 It's more a thing since release due to what I can only presume to be server-side strain that CodeMasters poorly prepared for. Some guys who played the beta mentioned it was almost A-OK during that period, but it's gotten exponentially worse since release.
Maybe it's a PC only thing? I don't know what the console situation is like but if you head over to DR2's Steam page you'll notice the reviews were initially very positive but have now seen a wave of negative ones roll in, all complaining about the same thing: RaceNet.
@@Tintop g2a, dirt rally deluxe is about $55
Good job on the comparisons!
The old co-driver voice was legendary and they change it 😭 I can't like the new one, sound as a pop singer and not a co-driver.
In German they changed the guy to a woman with an awful voice
I'm very interested in Dirt 2.0 - Being a Gran Turismo fan I still would like a game that has this much realism but also teaches you about Rally racing. Like exactly how changes to the cars suspension, motor and transmission effects the feeling of the car. Track history and car manufacturers that support Rally. Video features and voice overs without pointless grinding or loot boxes/microtransactions.
I'm happy with Dirt Rally, it runs good on my machine and apparently, its almost as awesome as 2.
My computer is like Gizmo, it wouldn't handle those bright lights anyway, poor fella.
I’m number 4 in Australia !! Going for #1 I’m loving the game so far !!
