Re: Graphics are much worse than Dirt Rally 2

The new game runs on Unreal 5. How can it look so bad in comparison? Is that EA didn´t put enough money into it? It really looks like it didn´t. 

I prebought this game to see a brand new rally game with next gen graphics and what I´m going to do is to continue playing Dirt rally 2. Just a Waste of my money. Very sad. 

For the good part, the new game runs well and feels good. It´s just how it looks. This shouldn´t happen.

Your exactly right. The new WRC is ugly and dated. The dirt roads look like dirt colored asphalt. The reflections and lighting are flat. The trees and grass are low resolution. The cars look old, and there are very minimal particle effects like dust, smoke and dirt flying in the air. Where’s the gravel sounds clinking off the underside of the car? Where’s the squeaks? Why does mud and dirt not collect on the car? Why does the damage look more simple and downgraded? DR2 had all of this and more! It looks like a 360 or PS3 game. Anyone that thinks this game looks good is a casual gamer that can’t tell the difference. 


Hey,

Please, be respectful of others. I already had to remove one of your messages. It doesn't matter if someone is a "casual" or a "hardcore gamer".

    But you don’t understand. The casual gaming market is ruining the serious gaming market. Dirt Rally 2 was on par to be the best rally sim experience, which is why it was so popular and beloved. It’s now being diminished by these new titles.

    I couldn't disagree more, but you're entitled to your opinion.

    Hey @Quietpartner 

    This is not a debate for our forums. You are entitled to your opinions, but calling other people names or talking as if their opinion mattered less because of what they think or how many hours they play to our games is not allowed here. This is a safe space for everyone, so please refrain from commenting on things like that from now on.

    Hardcore players such as myself 😁. Care more about gameplay than they do graphics.   When I’m blasting through a stage last thing I care about is if a tree looks right.    

  • I love inmersion, and I really care to see good bushes , trees and grass. For example I was amazed about how awesome Forza Horizon 5 enviroment looks. sometimes it feels that im driving on a real place.

    I agree with you! As a serious gamer immersion means physics as well as excellent graphics from environments, weather, lighting, car models, sounds, etc. If it doesn’t look real, it doesn’t feel real.
