But apparently Dirt 4 was not as successful as they hoped and they might. They are testing the waters with Dirt Rally and wanted to finish calibrating the game. If there is enough demand for it, they will do it.
#DIRT 4 VR SUPPORT FULL#
I checked the internet and a full day of rally driving school is $1375. From what I read on the web, the devs said there is no reason they couldn t add VR support to Dirt 4 since they did it with Dirt Rally.
#DIRT 4 VR SUPPORT PRO#
So for only $1200 more ($400 for PS4 Pro + $400 for PSVR + $400 for Racing Wheel) you can have your very own rally simulator in your own home. The VR DLC is only $13 for those who already have the core game or you can get the core game and VR bundled for only $70. Well, it doesn’t get any realer than this. Travis also mentioned that this game was targeting hard core racing fans seeking ultimate realism. Admittedly, those pristine photo-realistic visuals do take a hit in order to keep the VR experience at a playable framerate, but it’s a small sacrifice considering just how much more immersive the game becomes when you slip on the PSVR. In last year’s review Travis mentioned that the only way DiRT Rally could get any better (or more realistic) was if Codemasters patched in VR support. Adding some extra challenge is the fact that your windshield will get dirty while racing and crack over time with each collision, and since you are stuck in the cockpit your view will slowly deteriorate until you can repair between stages. Every bump and rock in the road is visually represented with the motion of the car.
There is a great sense of speed communicated not only with the passing scenery but also the shaking and vibrations of the cockpit around you. I was surprised I suffered no motion sickness, although I did come close on a few occasions where the car would tip violently or even roll over. But the main differences in VR racing are the subconscious connections to real-world driving you probably aren’t even aware of, like the ability to look into a turn rather than linearly following the road as it curves.
Even the best non-VR racing game still have this detachment from reality, but when wearing the PSVR you are actually in the car and driving something that responds naturally to your input – especially if you are using a racing wheel and pedals.
#DIRT 4 VR SUPPORT DRIVER#
VR not only adds to the immersion and reality of rally racing, it actually makes you a better driver by virtually recreating an authentic driving experience. Not only does this add a tremendous amount of realism to the experience, it provides some enjoyment for the player who’s not currently in the driver’s seat. Speaking of your co-pilot, this new VR version adds a two-player co-op game mode where a second player can use a controller to give out the verbal pace and turn calls to the driver wearing the PSVR. And we can’t overlook the co-pilot seated next to you. The level of detail is staggering from the fully functional instrument cluster to your ability to lean out the window and examine the exterior of your car. Travis already did that in his original review, so instead I will be focusing on just the VR elements and how they impact the gameplay experience.ĭiRT Rally VR puts you in the cockpit of any and all of the cars available in the core game, surrounding you in authentic race car details and forcing you to drive from that behind-the-wheel perspective that is sadly overlooked in non-VR racing games. I’m not going to go into extreme detail on the basics of the game. This is the full original game now entirely playable in VR across all game modes. This is not some limited proof of concept mini-game with one or two cars and a couple of tracks. They get much more enjoyment out of throwing the car around and staying on the track a lot more.Įurogamer adds that DiRT 4 won’t have split-screen, it will have cross-platform leaderboards, and anyone who doesn’t want to use the more casual friendly handling can switch to the simulation handling.ĭiRT 4 releases on June 6 in North America and June 9 in Europe for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.We’re coming up on the one-year anniversary of our original DiRT Rally review for PS4 and Codemasters is breathing fresh life into the game with an unexpected and totally impressive VR version of the game. Removing that from the equation, the player was able to make much later decisions about the direction they wanted to go in, and get away with making as a driver I’d term a mistake. One of the solutions we came up with is removing that need to understand that you have to have the car’s weight over the front wheels to have the grip there.
They were feeling like they couldn’t drive fast, they couldn’t enjoy it, so we looked at how we did things with DiRT 2 and DiRT 3, and a lot of the stuff comes from the way the controller interacts with the game, and how we manage the weight shift. We tried putting real world assists in, putting loads of traction control – but people hated them.
