I think people misunderstand EA WRC. This is more like an entry in the Dirt series than Dirt Rally. It's more like an arcade-sim and imho not meant to be realistic. Use gamepad and chase cam, that's how the game is being designed, tested by the devs and that's how 90% of people are playing it anyway. I mean if they would actually test the cockpit cameras wouldn't they realize that the game is barely playable because of the camera shake in any bumpy gravel stage?

    There's no way you believe that... this WAS dirt rally 3 before it swapped to EA WRC. It is no more or less a simcade than DR2.0 or any Dirt Rally game is.


    Would love to know why you think that... DR2.0 isn't realistic either

  • Yeah I know this was supposed to be Dirt Rally 3.0 and it makes me sad. All I can say is the game FEELS like a step back from Dirt Rally 2.0 instead of forward when it comes to the sim aspect of it. I know DR2.0 isn't anywhere near something like Richard Burns Rally (I play both these titles actively) when it comes to simulation, but it still is the best/closest modern AAA rally sim we have. So like many other sim enjoyers I was hoping they go more into that direction with WRC, especially since they keep releasing Arcade Dirt racers too.

    But then I get in the car in WRC and I have to do these regularity races and weird career team management, cockpit cameras don't feel good/can't be adjusted, I can't turn off the unrealistic camera movement, the AI is easy to beat... I could go on, but it just doesn't feel like they tried to make the game better at the sim aspect. It's not a bad game, but I tried playing it like a sim and it somehow doesn't really work for me so far. Maybe later when I'm done with the career (only playing since ~2 weeks).

    [e] just saw a post here about triple screens (Add triple monitor support with free Unreal Engine plugin - Answer HQ) kinda makes my point. How can a "sim" game in 2024 not come with proper triple screen support when this is probably the most widely used setup for people that are serious about sim racing?
