I'm seriously considering dumping some cash on at least a better wheel stand. Also, one of the big things is that you MUST need immediate access to the handbrake at all times, which is difficult on a regular wheel set up trying to touch one of the face buttons while you have the wheel cranked upside down mid corner. I would be trying to control the car while also trying to keep the wheel set up in one place. The pedals slide all over the place and the stand is not very sturdy so any time you need to turn the wheel past 180 degrees, it would flop all over. So my wheel set up is terrible, I went with the cheapest and smallest possible solution since my console is in the living room but it just doesnt work properly. There are some muddy textures but overall its a very convincing recreation of the real deal.Ĭontroller v. Hauling ass down a dirt road covered by trees with light only peaking through to blind you is a wild experience. I am playing the PS4 version on a PS5 (I dont know of any next gen upgrades made) but the game looks better than WRC10 (native PS5 version). The graphics have also held up really well. This really does feel like the closest approximation of driving a rally car that I've experienced in a game even after playing the latest WRC offering. Bombing down a skinny dirt road at top speed definitely gets the palms sweating and you are never more than a split second mistake away from a huge wreck that could knock your times out of contention, or worse, destroy the car. With the aids off you must have an understanding of the layout of the car you are driving, the tires and their relationship with the different surfaces, weight distribution, etc to win even on medium difficulty. You still need to understand the calls and make the appropriate adjustments but you arent fighting the car as often and you can be a bit more ham-fisted with maneuvers. You can dial in aids to assist you but they dont totally neuter the game. For whatever reason, I decided to give it another go but on a controller and holy hell, everything is clicking (more on that later). The cars just seemed too difficult to drive and my wheel set up is trash. I dumped this game a while back because I just couldnt get along with it.
