Downloaded the WRC FIA game demo. Is pretty fun, much more so than the trailers and beta gameplay videos had led me to believe...

 

As you can probably tell, I much prefer Mikko Hirvonen to Sebastian Loeb... ;)

 

 

When I finally saw that a new WRC game was being released I almost died with excitement, then I downloaded the demo and I have to say I'm pretty under-whelmed as a lot of other WRC series fans seem to be. From the first WRC game until Evolution I've been quite happy with what's been produced but this demo seems to lack in pretty much everything and I can't see the full game being much different which is sad, really.

 

Atleast I'm not the only one who prefers Hirvonen to Loeb. God, I hate that man with a passion.

Guess I'll have to make do with GT5 and TDU2 until DiRT3 comes out then :nuts:

So would you say the game itself is poor, or more a reflection of the state the WRC is in now? For me it's the latter (only 2 works teams? Really?), because the game is, if not entirely realistic, then at least pretty fun

[T3hReaper91]

From what i have heard i wont be getting it as there is no way of having steering wheels.

You can just have the keyboard.

 

So meh

[Ryzza5]

lol, why did they start making this game in the first place then?

The game is OK, but that's it really. I heard the developers were on a tight budget or something so I think they've done pretty well if that is true. But the tracks are too wide open, I drove both cars in and the handling was.. weird to say the least. I know they aren't going to handle like they're on tarmac but I want to feel connected to the surface I'm racing on in one way or another.

 

The real WRC is a lost cause now, and I never wanted it to be. I don't want to go and stand in the middle of a forest in Wales this November to watch a boring old Citroen and Ford plough on uneventfully through a course already knowing who was going to win the championship. It's dull, it's predictable, I hate it. It's a waste of time. The more Loeb wins, the less interested I become in the sport. It's why I much prefer going to watch national rallies now because they're never predictable.

 

I miss the days when Subaru, Mitsubishi, Skoda, Hyundai and all the other teams were in the WRC along with Ford and Citroen. When there were actually drivers I wanted to root for winning. Now I just go along to catch up on gossip with the people I go with and for the pub we go to after.

The demo worked with my G25 just fine, and with force feedback :confused:

[T3hReaper91]

Oh fail i might look at it then lol. Just what i was told by some people lol

Pretty much the same for me then. This is the exact same reason why i hated Michael Schumacher during his Ferrari days... Ah well, at least next year might be a little more promising with the new rules. Other than Ford, Citroen and Mini, do you know who else will be competing? Skoda has a S2000 car but I'm not sure if they're stepping up to the top league?

[Ryzza5]

I've only been watching the WRC this year for the scenery and the crashes. There was never any doubt who would win. I don't really like any of the drivers - but the Scottish co-driver in one of the Citroens is cool. :p

I was watching a WRC Highlights program the other week and they said that VW were showing some interest and there was another manufacturer that they mentioned who was also showing interest in joining the sport but I can't remember who it was.

@ Kelvjy: nice one :cheeky:

[GTAMADDOG]

Moving away from the negativity towards the WRC and on to a type of game I usually despise but Sid Meier's Civilization V's got me hooked..

I really don't know how to play it. I just like building large empires :p

[Camel]

Haha I jumped into the deep end on that on the hardest difficulty. I got my arse handed to me to say the least. :lol:

[Car Freak]

How hard can it be?

[Ryzza5]

Is that basically another Age of Empires game?

[Camel]

Kind of, but not really. There is a lot more strategy in it and different ways to win the game. The games also last a lot longer.

[GTAMADDOG]

Decided to take control of some neighbouring cities earlier. My empire is even bigger now :p

I just need to get rid of Almaty and the whole of the Chinese Empire and I should have more than enough space to myself to grow into a truely unstoppable force :cool:

[Kelvjy]

Might have to try Sid Meier's Civilization V :confused: Was a huge fan of Medieval Total War back in the day :cool: (kind of similar :cheeky:)

 

For now, some WRC stuff :hide:

[mau92]

Oh yeah! i love that Munchi's WRC Focus, argentinean power 8)

 

btw, its that the demo?

[Kelvjy]

;359310']Opinions?

 

It's ok, i'd probaly give it a 6/10.

The game gets repetitive quite fast and the tracks are stupidly wide but it's a good time waster for me. (Took me about 1 hour to complete the J-WRC championship :eek:) WRC is even longer :eek2:

Mau92 Full game

[Car Freak]

Oh it's out already?

[GTAMADDOG]

Oh it's out already?

 

That's what I thought. I wont be buying it though.

[Ryzza5]

I accidentally just bought it from Ebay for about $45 AUD. :p I wouldn't spend any more on this title though.
