They always think it’s a mystery brew of toxins in the soil, but in vast majority of cases, the contamination is lead,” said lead author Sally Brown, a UW research associate professor of environmental and forest sciences. “People are terrified of soils in urban areas. So far, that doesn't appear to be the case.Kids get creative with kale in an urban garden in Tacoma, Washington. However, the execution of Your Stage (and how much it was hyped up) is what is making want Codemasters to be more upfront in their communications with this title. I hope the idea isn't dead, because DR and DR2 will have issues with the limited number of kilometres, despite them being excellently modelled (DLC is a great start, but Argentina looks like it will have ~17km in total for example). The podcast interview with Paul recently shed some light on that, and made it sound like they had to cut their losses on it. When you're passing the same corner (and sequence of bends) for the third time in a single stage, it's so immersion breaking it's the main standout thing for me.
DIRT 4 REDDIT GENERATOR
The tech behind the stage generator is excellent, but it doesn't seem to have a fraction of the tiles it needs to work nicely. How are you finding the stage builder? A week in with the game and I remember being really frustrated with it already. None of those made it a bad game, but they combined to make it a very boring one IMO. Hoping they can tone down the insanely orange sunsets a bit though!Īs I said, my main issues with DiRT 4 are RWD handling, the career mode, the lack of challenge in the AI and, above all, the stage generator. DR2's reminds me more of D4's so far though, and I accept that's more personal preference. They did a great job with the stage generator in hiding the 'joins' but I felt like the lighting was more 'for show' than in DR1. Graphics-wise, I would give it an even rating. Nothing seemed to have any weight to it and solid fence posts just crumbled as the car hit them, whereas they could be devastating in DR.

Your mention of fences, posts etc reminds me that one thing DiRT 4 was missing was penalties for colliding with stageside objects. Braking seemed improved, but could go further, especially when wet and slippery.

YOU FOOLS MWAHAHAHAĪs mentioned in the other thread, I found the modern 4WD and FWD handling to be a step up, and at least it fixed the weightlessness issue that ruined parts of DiRT Rally for me, but the RWD seemed to fall victim to this. 'A revelation' as Paul Coleman correctly said.Īll of you who have skipped Dirt 4 - you fools. Sure it's not constantly novel scenery, but what did you expect? Have an imagination and the procedural stages have added an element that is priceless. This is the Daggerfall of rally gaming, without the bugs and cat-people. Procedural stages are a freaking amazing leap forward. Every interaction with every object, like fences, posts, etc, shows physics and effects that are simply perfect. The graphics are freaking incredible, the vehicles, lighting and detail is constantly making my jaw wobble with involuntary joy. To be honest the handling feels so good, I wonder how it will be improved. Yes you still slide, but it feels authentic. But this time it's so much better and there's no ridiculous sliding all over the place. Finally, FINALLY a game that has beaten RBR for the feeling of actually 'driving'. Mind you, like every snow stage ever, it still feels a bit like you're in a missing scene from 'The Shining' where you're the wife character having found a car and you're high-tailing it away from the hotel, with Jack in hot pursuit. I've usually disliked snow stages in rally games, but now they're actually a lot of fun, with snowbanks giving a pleasingly real amount of resistance. DR 1 felt simultaneously floaty and clunky, whereas this feel planted, solid, precise.

Dirt Rally was great in its day, but this thing is a whole league ahead. Forgive me for making a new thread but this is about street justice. So I am now over a week into Dirt 4, and I can not believe the negative comments all over the place about this absolute glittering gem.
