    I have both games for PS4 standard and a Logitec G29 Wheel.
    In summary the differences are:
    WRC8:
    Carrier Mode - Dirt 2.0 don't have a chance on this
    Official Cars - For the purists, it is a must
    Better Stage Design - The stages are not 1:1 from the real ones, but they are much more emersive
    More Stages than Dirt 2.0 - A lot more, and official
    Better Tarmac driving - It feels right
    Better Force Feedback - Compared with Dirt 2.0 it just feels more realistic, you can really notice the difference when aquaplaning or if you're on whet tarmac.
    Slightly Better Car Adjustments - You can change almost everything
    Dynamic Whether - The weather transition feels so smooth and can give you a different driving experience
    Rain Impacts a lot - Better driving experience on rain than Dirt 2.0, is feels more realistic overall
    Dirt 2.0:
    Better Sound - You can distinguish the Engine, Turbo, Clutch, Gearbox, Environment, it makes a huge difference on the eRally experience
    Better Co-Driver calls - Much more perceptive than WRC 8
    Better Graphics (IMO) - Lightning is a very important part of it
    Stages are 1:1 from the old ones.
    More Realistic Handling (despite tarmac) - You can actually make Scandinavian Flicks/Pendulum Turns, it's unforgiving but with practice you can have a great feeling
    More Cars - A lot more
    Classic Cars - A big plus
    Rallycross - It gives you a great joy to compete online
    Conclusions:
    Both games have great physics, but I feel that Dirt 2.0 is doing it better, in WRC 8 sometimes the car car sky rocket just by hitting a small rock, it have the same problem of Dirt, which was "fixed" on Dirt 2.0, also on WRC 8 sometimes the car just loses control without a reason to do it so.
    The driving styles are different...
    WRC 8 feels more stick to the ground, the grip feels higher, so the car does not slide so often.
    On Dirt 2.0 you can actually make beautiful turns and drifts, and feel that you are in control of them (when you have silks for that)
    The downside of Dirt 2.0 is tarmac, it feels like gravel but with higher grip.
    So...
    If you want to use a controller (WRC 8 is better adjusted to the gamepad), or if you are new to rally games, just go with WRC 8, it's an overall better experience than Dirt 2.0.
    If you have a wheel and want to compete against other players or if you a demand a better driving simulation experience, go with Dirt 2.0.

    What I like about Dirt 2 and what imo makes it so much more superior to wrc 8 in terms of graphics especially when looking at all this gameplay footage - is the incredible lighting that they put in the game. It makes it that much more realistic and when looking at wrc 8 it feels really outdated. It's really cool how they managed to not resort to raytracing and the associated caveats for this kind of lighting to work.

    I think Dirt Rally 2.0 by a mile. WRC 8 is hard on the eyes, the handling is pants and that virtual management- weather and stuff reminds me of some dumb game like The Sims. I’m the driver not the manager, I want a manager to sort out the weather, engineers to fix my car, I can’t be bothered with all that filling. Dirt Rally 2.0 you get in your car and you’re off 😭

    For anyone who has an issue with the ffb/steering angle in WRC I have a suggestion: the visible wheel in cockpit view doesn't correspond to our own wheels rotation limits and for me it was impossible to get the relationship between car behaviour and ffb right but it became clear that the cars actually have a fixed degree of rotation of even less than 180° (and WRC 9 cockpit previews show that it will be the same...) probably as a gamepad compromise and hence why it works so well with one. So having spent many hours using the default 540° and adjusting everything else, I realised if you just set it to the minimum of 180° in game the ffb then makes much, much better sense and in my opinion is actually one of the very best in sim racing. Now you can actually throw out the rear and generally feel in control, at last ! As with car swapping in real life it just takes time to get used to but its worth it and in fact looking at WRC footage online it actually seems that the settings are more or less correct, the developers have just cut off the extra 180° or so that drivers do use but very rarely, with these settings my movements seem to match the professionals 90% of the time. So with my T300 I use:
    Sensitivity: 0 - 1 (to preference, affects both responsiveness and ffb)
    Deadzone: 0
    Saturation: 75 - 100 (to preference, affects both responsiveness and ffb)
    Rescale: Off
    Invert: Off
    Max Wheel Angle: 180
    All ffb settings at default (another indication that 180° is the actual default).
    Enjoy !

    • @ATribeCalledCars
      @ATribeCalledCars  4 года назад

      Interesting, I've not tried 180 but I find 540 is intuitive (but tiring on the really long circuits in this current heatwave). I use the TS-XW though.

      @@ATribeCalledCars Ben hey, just realised you did another video specifically about wheel settings, my bad, but the good news is I think I've now got to the bottom of this issue...
      I know from experience with Assetto Corsa that one of the many things that surprisingly affects force feedback (FFB) and handling in a sim is the field of view (FOV), so if in WRC8 you use the bonnet cam for the best visuals and sense of speed and just change the camera FOV to the min (-20), then the default steering angle of 540°, steering sensitivity at 0, saturation at 100 and ffb settings seem spot on, at bloody last !
      Its a game changer, just try switching between default FOV and -20 with the same settings elsewhere and the difference it makes is night and day. A bizarre discovery, but problem solved ;) Now I'm a happy man...
      Great channel btw, I'm rooting for its growing success :)

    I have both for the Xbox 1 and it’s WRC8 all the way! Dirt 2.0 is a game that I’m finding I get enjoyment if I have 10 minutes or 15 minutes to play a level. Because it’s a game. WRC 8 is a game that you have to sit down you definitely have to play with a steering wheel to get the full affect because it’s very hard to control the car specially a WRC car in some of those roads with a controller. The only thing about WRC8 that I do not like are the water puddles in the road. When you’re at full speed and you hit the water puddles it will throw you into the next town and I hate that. Because that’s not real.

    A lot of this video was spent talking about how Dirt Rally 2.0 is overall harder than WRC8 (at least, with a controller). How you can brake later in WRC, how you're punished more in Dirt. But, honestly, I feel the exact opposite. I've played a bunch of both WRC8 and Dirt Rally 2.0 with a controller, and honestly? I prefer Dirt Rally 2.0 simply because it's EASIER. I feel like I have more control over my car, where as in WRC8, I'd constantly be worrying about sliding and spinning. I feel like I can take turns quicker in Dirt, where as those same turns in WRC8, I'd be slowing down a lot more.
    Add on to that the fact that a lot of the tracks in WRC8 have thinner sections that Dirt Rally 2.0 doesn't have, and it just makes WRC8 much harder for me. I can still play it, don't get me wrong. But I have a much more enjoyable experience playing Dirt over WRC simple because I can chill out a bit more. It's less stressful because I feel like I actually have control.
    WRC8 also has a lot more bumps it feels like. Like, your car has a habit of bouncing around and sliding on it's own sometimes, due to bumps in the road and stuff. Especially on those wet patches during the rain. Something that isn't as much of an issue in Dirt.
    Now, a lot of that could be argued that it makes WRC8 the better game. And that may be true. More realistic and dangerous tracks, more realistic surfaces, looser feeling vehicles, plus obviously WRC8 has the better career mode. But I just have more fun on Dirt.

    • @ATribeCalledCars
      @ATribeCalledCars  3 года назад

      That's interesting, perhaps Dirt 2.0 has been updated a lot since or it's simply personal preference. I know a lot of people prefer the game. It's a valid point that all the little bumps can make it harder to maintain a line in WRC, but my brain processes that as more realistic and therefore more intuitively. Strange maybe lol. I think the main thing is that we are very lucky to have at least two awesome rally games (WRC 9 review on the channel and WRC 10 video going live in early June). I will try to get my hands on all future Dirt games, too.

    What exactly is the career for WRC8, and 9 if you have it, like? What are the options and events? How are things done?
    I have been playing Dirt Rally 2.0. Love the gameplay. The hard and realistic driving. The rallies. The cars. The co-driver.
    But for every car you ever buy in the career and wanna take for a good ol spin and have fun, you have to play 6 straight rallies with them, and it gets longer and longer. First was 4 stages each, then 6, 8, 10, and so on.
    Doesn't even give us a set of championships to pick based on length.
    This is fucked up. And it seems the community has not lambasted this hard. Takes me an hour or more to complete one 8 stage rally.
    Imagine if in a shooter multiplayer game, there are preset classes or characters with unique abilities, and to play as one you had to complete every mode on every map with it consecutively. So the game is not something you can just play, wreck, have fun, switch and try different strategies but something, which I don't don't know how to describe.

    I recognize that it can cost more, but almost every game can play better on a PC. You still have all the options of using a controller or wheel and pedals. You have unlimited frame rates and no stutters plus the option of more graphic and performance adjustments as long as you have the computing horsepower, and if you don't now you can always upgrade later.

Did they totally mess up the controller support because it do feel very weird and overly sensitive maybe? I mean I tried some smaller goofy cars and they are worse of course but still, the mini cooper I tried on the first stage where it start with a bridge and it took me like 5 tries just to get past that bridge and then I crashed in the next corner anyway, insane slippery cars that spend more time in the air than on the ground. I've ended up in that ditch like 20 times now and that have made me not play the game so much, I do love the insane feel of it thought but I need to figure this out because it is unplayable right now and I have an urge to play definitely. It feels like you say a bit random like, "will I fly off the track now for no reason, do I dare touch the handbrake and can I gas now without eating 6 trees?", it's like a coinflip and I really try to figure out how to drive with controller but every move I do end up like a Bond movie with these trapdoors by the Villain, Goodbye Mr.Bond! *Swoooooosh AAAAAAAHHH*

    WRC looks entirely on a different level than DR2. These fanboys of DR are so blinded by their little cult.
    WRC 8 looks unmatched in heavy rain/ storm conditions while DR looks like indie second rate workaround.
    The world of WRC is much more alive specially with the trees swinging like crazy, a cool drone running around etc.
    The water splashes are so overwhelming in WRC compared to DR.
    Now DR has better handling, impactful jumps and much better damage models. That’s it.

I thought maybe its the FFB.. messed around soo long with that but to no avail because when the car slid even a bit there was no catching it... then I finally decide to check the car setup. For some reason it defaulted to pretty much softest settings there were and after messing with the suspension got the car feeling pretty much as i wanted it to be. (even when using the simple mode slider it felt better already).

    I have both games on ps4 pro, and dirt 2.0 is sooo much better with fluidity and smooth graphics (60fps) vs wrc8 and 30fps, for me it is crucial difference ...

      I thought the same but was determined to make it work as the content is too good to miss. It turns out framerate is only an issue if you are too close to a large screen in relation to its resolution !
      PAL/NTSC at 25/30 fps has given us fast paced action movies for decades and no-one complained because our screens were so much smaller. Over the years screen size has increased two or three times faster than resolution has increased so if you're on PS4 and want a sim setup with a 1080p large screen just a metre away you're going to suffer but if you use THX guidelines for HD viewing distance (try this link - myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancemetric.html or search for "Homestead viewing distance calculator") the game runs great even at 30 fps, trust me ;)

    I'm a PS4-Pro player who only drives racing games. I still use a gamepad as I don't have the space for a wheel and pedal setup at the moment. I own Dirt4 (which I only enjoy playing for the rallycross) as well as Dirt Rally and Dirt Rally 2.0. (for proper stage rallying). However I rarely play them as they are pretty hard work on the pad. Would anyone say that this is worth buying for a more fun and forgiving experience using a gamepad? I don't want to buy a forth rally game if I'll still struggle to get into it! Am I better off just sticking with what I've got and investing more time in them? WRC8 does look like a good game with great stages. But it's the handling (with a gamepad) I'm most concerned with. If this will give me more enjoyment then I don't mind spending the money. Any advice will be appreciated. :-).

      Actually they're generally more realistic in WRC 8 so that's more a problem with the real cars than the game. The co-driver isn't perfect, no, but the DiRT Rally 2.0 one isn't my favourite. As for bias, I gave both a lot of time and have no affiliation with either. I got both games free and before release. I just preferred WRC 8 as it's much more enjoyable.

    It is sad to compare the game on XBOX - DR2 has so much more to offer if you are rally enthusiast. Triple screen support, VR support (if you did not try, you should - it changes DR2 totally) , REAL stages, great variety of cars (with real sounds), I should not even mention about physics ....... and content. For me WRC 8 has only one advantage (or disadvantage) - official WRC license - car nowadays are so similar - they all drive and sounds the same... - I prefer to drive older WRC and B Group - they are more challenging. And for the last - you think that tarmac grip is an issue - try to drive Monte Carlo Rally and show me another game which simulates EVERY ice and snow on the tarmac - this is the only game which has this system implemented (even RBR does not have it). In other words - I totally disagree in my opinion DR 2.0 is much better than WRC 8.

      A PC ultra graphics comparison would've been cool too, maybe one day. It's true that all racing games have their flaws, you really see it when you review cars as part of your job, but DiRT Rally 2.0 really felt particularly bad at tarmac when I made this video. Felt like lazy programming. We all have our preferences, I genuinely enjoyed WRC8 more but perhaps with various updates things are closer now!

    A message from the Minister of Sport to the enthusiasts of simple WRC8 games or what to call a freak of human nature. If for you WRC8 is a simulator, then for a construction worker, operating a wheelbarrow is an F1 simulator, and for a pensioner in Walmart, driving a cart around the dog crunch department is a real Dakar rally. WRC8 goes ahead but also fucked up a lot of things along the way trying to overtake the Dirt and RBR series. Dirt Rally is not the best simulator, but it reflects the most similar reality as it is watched live or on TV and this is the truth. WRC8 despite the license, there is really nothing ... for me, the rally enthusiast is simply a total error of the FIA ​​WRC which they entrusted the advertising of this sport to such fucked up hands of Kyloton. But this is the trend at FIA WRC to make simple games and pretend that it's the best wheelbarrow simulator on the construction site of all time with the voice of the pilot after anal cleansing measures. Kyloton should start creating board games for patients in psychiatric hospitals with the intention of committing suicide so that they would have good effectiveness then ... Finally. If WRC wants to appear seriously in games, they should think about whether to go to construction and Walmart and ask how to make good games and who to entrust it to. Apparently in version 20 in X years they are to introduce Pacman to a rally that will devour rally cars as they fall off the route, and the effects of suspension transplant from electric scooters for postmen. The pilot's sound will be from Alexa who will notify the player who fucked up another $ 50 ... And she will tell you on the basis of Wikipedia what tree we pass and why this pixel or shadow has been fucked up again. On the subject of car physics, they are supposed to call specialists from the vacuum in the anus of the koala bear, which after eating a bucket of eucalyptus creates a hydrogen bomb as well as additional vibrations and vibrations of the anus with gas pressure ... And on this basis the accelerated phenomenon of the quantum koala bear. Graphs of tire viscosity law of aerodynamic speed gravity will be created, and so on, until an ideal big bang of the exploding anus in real physics gases for future WRC editions is created.
