WRC 6 -Oct 7th Release Date Xbox 1/PS4/PC

[Tomba]

I dont know if I'm excited for this( I love Rally). Last year i got all three versions HOPING the framerate and screen tearing were better on each platform i went on. And it was not.

VERY poor optimization in WRC 5. I wonder if they've learned from that and if they havent others should not buy WRC 6

WRC 5 sold something like 700,000 copies thanks to its esports inclusion.

I got 3 copies wishing just ONE would play smoothly...and none did.

One can only hope it finally will play smooth on at least ONE platfrom this year...

I like WRC 5 and had a good bit of fun with it.

I'm assuming this is out on the UK store on the 7th or is it worldwide ?

THIS IS WORRYING


A Excerpt from a recent interview from Team VVV


"On PS4 and Xbox One, there was a drop in fidelity as you would expect, but the graphics still looked defined in the lower resolution and the frame rate seemed smooth on the stages I played, but Jarniou confirmed that the console versions run at a variable frame rate between 30fps and 60fps as with WRC 5. A locked frame rate would probably have been more ideal, particularly as WRC 5 suffered from noticeable slowdown on some stages."

I love 4 , hated 5 , I'll have to reinstall it and give it another chance.

4 WAS good esp on pc with mods

Went ahead and picked up WRC 6 for PC thru Steam (34.99)

If you play in 1080p with full settings it runs much better than last years version.

If you start going 1440p or even true 4k you can have dips in framerates


overall its a smooth experience

One of the things that VERY apparent is physics engine and the road driving particle efx. Those are put together very well.

Driving is very satisfying actually.

Cars are VERY well designed and a cool feature is that you can SEE the tires struggling on terrains.

Compared to last years its not night and day but more like a very well patched WRC 5. Because WRC was good just not at all well optimized. It might have something to do with the fact that wrc 6 was only made for Xbox 1 ,PS4 and PC...

For those who feel that Dirt rally is just too darn hard.... 7/10

I will try and DL this weekend at some point.
