Although I do like AC, I find the constant "chatter" of the FFB really annoying. I'm going to keep an eye out for FFB mods for Dirt Rally though. Haven't played any racing game for a couple of weeks unless you count Motorsport Manager on my iPad 
I really like the AC ffb. The chatter isn't too bad but I do know what you mean. Has a nice weight to it though.WTF!!!!!!!! the old DiRT games were bloody awful hence I've not even looked at this one until now....how the hell have they made this one so good?! https://youtu.be/fdrff3V1f0w

Similar for me, looks bloody great doesn't it?weyland yutani said:
Ive had this for a while on pc and whle it's a great rally game overall, the lack of stages and how short/repetative they are does hurt it a lot. I got so familiar with most of the stages that pacenotes weren't really needed anymore 
That is what turned me off it in the end. There must only be 2-3 longer stages for each country and then the rest are just sections of them. Shame as the car selection is good and the rest is well done.I stayed to complete the rally cross bits though, seriously good fun with the proper format to boot!

Even then the long stages are done and dusted in around 6-7ish minutes I stayed to complete the rally cross bits though, seriously good fun with the proper format to boot!

I'm so excited for this too, can't wait until Tuesday.
Hope it drives as good as it sounds, the reviews are all positive though so its looking good!
Looking forward to driving a Metro 6R4 most!
I'd keep away from the Group B cars for a while until you've played with the 70s/80s vehicles a bit. You won't enjoy it (unless you a particularly accomplished racer.) The game is not easy. Having said that, I think you have the earn the brass to buy one, so you kind of have to drive the slower ones until you get the cash. It's been so long since I bought a car! Currently loving the Polo R.Hope it drives as good as it sounds, the reviews are all positive though so its looking good!

The stages are limited to about 12 km long because the engine can't stream them (loading bits as you get close to them). Pikes Peak is the single longest stage in the game and they told me that the way it copes with that is to reduce the detail on some of the textures as you get closer to the top.I stayed to complete the rally cross bits though, seriously good fun with the proper format to boot!

I'm reading stuff like this and it makes me sad, I'd rather 90% of the prettiness and more content!
Hi guys
I'm the Product Manager for DiRT Rally. Glad you guys are looking forward to the game coming out. You won't be disappointed!
We have been working closely with the Piston Heads guy on our launch, even let them tear up a rally stage in Wales
Anyway, just wanted to make you aware of our launch day event. Check it out if you are about. We also have a convoy of cars to celebrate the launch. See if you can spot them around London and you'll win goodies!
