WRC 9 Review - The Final Verdict

  • Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
  • WRC 9 isn't a groundbreaking experience. It suffers from the same long standing UI issues that have plagued the franchise for ages. And from a technical perspective, it's far from perfect. The sound design in particular is a major culprit here. But the game delivers in spades where it truly matters. The actual racing in WRC 9 is top notch, rewarding skill and practice in a way that feels true to the sport without feeling punishing.
    Ample content, meanwhile, ensures that you don't get bored while putting in those practice hours. If you're looking for a high skill, off-road racing simulation, WRC 9 is your game.

    the problem is the lack of grip loss from elevation changes. when the down hill grade increases you should slide if you try to turn. that's what dirt rally 2.0 nails, the crests. The driver in the video can't seems to tell the games physics are off and is being more cautious than he needs too.

    I'm glad there is finally a solid competitor to DiRT. 4 and Rally 2.0 felt like Betas rushed out of the door. Hopefully this will force Codemasters to polish up their product a little more.
    I will say, I'm a huge fan of Rally 2.0's track deformation, and I hope that feature becomes standard in all Rally sims. I want to see that feature flushed out and expanded on.

    What amuses me the most is that many who review rally games do not even use cameras from the cockpit or the hood of the car. I ride with a limited HUD with no arrows and no progress bar which gives you more focus on listening to the pilot and better concentration on the road. But that's the way it is, everyone who reviews this game is a licensed rally teacher and knows best what it is like in real life 🤔😄😅😅😅.

    @OasiceOnTheFly 3 года назад

    At first release, I didn't liked it because of the car behavior not realistic. The sound also wasn't good. I think they made an update (PC) cause now the game is AMAZING !
    I like sim games like Richard Burns Rally and Rally 1 (from Codemasters). You can real feel a great difference, the weight of the car, the inertia. Add to that a better sound in the habitacle, we can hear a huge difference. CUDOS to Kylotonn, french guys, you did a great job compared to the previous version. I think WRC 8 should have been this one. I was very happy when a heard Codemasters taking the licence. Now I'm sceptic, when you see Dirt Rally 2 and DIRT5, it's more arcadish. They are talented for the visual and the sound but I prefer the gameplay of this WRC 9.

    Okay I'm gonna interrupt you there a bit: @2:29 where the car is driving at night, the dirt road reflection is so intense you can see the tree through it, when it rains on a dirt road does it ever reflect so bad that you see the reflection of an entire tree on the road? (remember, it's a dirt road, not asphalt, even if it was asphalt it wouldn't reflect that strongly).
    The reflections and HDR effects in games is just ridiculously overdone these days, if you look at Dirt Rally 2.0 this is done a lot better, still the reflections on the car are a bit too much I must say but far better than this). It looks ugly.

    If you wanna be a better reviewer, here's some tips:
    Talk more about the gameplay than other stuff like interface, load times and soundtrack. In a sim racing game these things are waaaay less important
    Watch some driving tutorials. You don't have to be Richard Burns level of driving, but people will validate your opinion more. Viperconcept does excellent tutorials on youtube I suggest you can go check him out.
    Play with BOTH wheel and controller. In a sim game, many more people play with a wheel than say, Forza or Shift. Don't remove controller though because you'll attract both audiences.
    If you can, go to a rally school. You'll understand a lot better how a car handles in high speed situations on gravel. Please DON'T do this on public roads though...
    Finally, change the tone of voice more often, and add stuff that would make your review more EXITING. Don't go OTT like it's DiRT 3 or something, but if you do this then it will look way more polished and look like you put a lot more effort in. Plus, if your passionate about this, this one should be really easy.
    Kind regards
