VirtualR – Sim Racing News

I usually don’t like it when people judge a game before its a released, but from everything I’ve seen so far this game is going to be a utter and complete joke.  Nothing in the game reflects the real world of WRC whatsoever. 

holy shit, more crap….eyesore!

Here, a video to relief your eyesore;

dissapointing…hopefully they push the release date back and really work on this…the hype is trash

told you people who hate on the nay sayers, mile stone are a lazy bunch of plonkers.

Very disappointing, we seem to have taken a step back. The WRC series 4 and 5 on the PS2 are way better than this in almost every aspect.

people need to stop buying their shit, let them go bankrupt.

Yikes,  I was one to give this title a chance but now I just can’t see it turning out well.  Still going to try the demo but this is not looking good at all.  Black Bean if you guys read this;  way to screw up having the WRC liscense.

I was really giving this game every chance to be good and trying not to judge it, but *every* video just shows wide track after wide track.  I personally think the cars look to have decent handling, but the tracks are so wide it isn’t needed, and most corners don’t even seem to need use of the brakes :(

If they had just reduced track width by 30% and added some sharper corners/rougher terrain…

Reminds me of SEGA Rally :(

Sweet Lamb in UK is a real joke, how they gonna impement iOpener to this crap I don’t know.

I think Sega Rally is better in some points.

This is still not in simulation mode? Because he is not shifting, and it’s like he has got some steering help and stability help?

he is shfting with the paddles.

It looks like I invested too much hope in this. I’m a huge fan of the SBK series, so I have patience for Milestone,  but  now 2 of their 3 franchises look bad. I don’t know whether this game was rushed out or what, it looks like it was. It was obviously designed from the start not to be a simulation, which is a shame. I’ll still give the demo ago.

I would change these voice audios from “rocks inside” to “you can see rocks in field on right” and “hairpin” to “fast turn”. All stages looks like that mode in DiRT2 “countryside” or similar ( I don’t remember properly) where you traveling field at 300 km/h with nearly without turns and braking

He’s got ABS off and yet he complains about unstable braking and understeer while braking – wtf do you expect!?! I really wish people who knew how to drive cars properly in the real world would make these videos, that guy looks like he still lives at home with his mum.

Anyway, after seeing those, I’m liking the game more. GFX seem improved over what’s been previously put out and the handling looks as it should be – difficult. Stages all seem too wide though. Dred to think what their take on Irish/Manx rallies would be like. Will reserve judgement for the demo tho!

As we were expecting :C

(Damn those tracks are so badly designed they dont look like rally tracks ..

And you should learn what you’re you’re talking about before opening your mouth.

he’s clearly got his head screwed on imho.

yep way too wide and those cars look like they could be taken straight from there v8 touring car game lol.

I’m actually not too bothered about the tracks being so wide, fast and unrealistic as they are my favourit type of stages.

But without the awesome music :-D

Well, after seeing those videos I am deeply dissapointed about how the game looks and drives. But despite that I will get it for only one reason: My steering wheel is brojen, so RBR is too hard to play now. And I like to watch rally and play rally games…and also this is licenced. That is only reason why I will get it

What’s the story on the iOpener feature?  They are adding it after release?  Did they give a time frame on it?

So RBR FTW again?

3 weeks ago i’ve installed RBR (after one year or more left aside) and i’ve forgot how great it was. Installed RSRBR2010, tweaked the FFB, the pacenotes, new gauges (the GT5 ones) and started to discover the new cars and stages!! F”#$”%$ AMAZING!!!! 

Thank you all modders that were involved in RSRBR! Great job!!!

RBR rules my friends but i would really like to see a simulator to replace this 2004 title!! Until then ill stick with RBR…

The preview video is from the 21nd of July by the way.
so still have hope…. :)

Seems as though the steering in too sluggish at all the wrong times and too quick at others.

…a iOpener-enabled WRC title will follow in 2012….
Found in other news on this website.

Yep, exactly my words!

Sega Rally 2

the tracks are boring here. they were more challenging in Sega Rally Revo I finished some weeks ago on my 360

21nd?

Anyway, you could post or direct me to a install instructions… I bought RBR and have had no luck getting to work as all explain.

http://www.rallyesim.com/accueil_en.html has all the info you’ll need…the tutorials are ok…

this is WRC license abusement.

Uhm, he’a actually complaining about instability when braking. It does look like the moment he touches the brakes the cars starts to lose the back end for no reason and it also looks like the countersteer does squat to stop oversteer.

This game looks a fairly poor effort imo – but still, I will wait and see.  

My first rally was in 1973, I think – the hot, dry, dusty Scottish.  I was nearly killed.   :)   [i was watching not competing]  I saw RAC lots of times – Waldegaard, Pond, Brookes, MAkkinen, Mikkola, Rohl, Clark, Vatanen, Munari, Blomqvist et al.

Ah the good ole days…..

But in that video, that’s Rally Wales is it?   Sure.

the real thing:

and even better, old stuff: 1970s:

I wish someone could capture the atmosphere and adrernalin of the real thing.

Well, Richard Burns Rally makes you scared to go fast.

Are you crazy? They do, what they are able to do. You can´t call some one a lazy plonker before you tried to do the same ;)

its not rocket science….. its pretty obvious its pure laziness 8-) .

I was looking forward to this game so much. All those promises about realism and thrill. And I see, that I’ll play the same 6 year old RBR for a long time, because this sucks big time. I’m sure, that RBR isn’t 100% realistic either, but it’s the closest to reality yet (regarding WRC, but sadly nothing else). And yes, I can judge the physics and the game experience from videos, and this sucks. I remember, how much I was looking forward to RBR. I couldn’t achive a good time for at least two weeks, but I’ve never had so much fun in a racing game. I enjoyed every moment of it, even if I was crashing all the time.
You’ll see. This game has nothing to do with rallying. It is an old school arcade racer, which can be fun for certain people, but not for me. There is a huge hole on the market, there is no rally simulation. There are rFactor, iRacing, Netkar Pro… Track racing, which is boring for me. My only hope is rFactor 2, if I’m right, it’ll include loose surface physics, which was one of the weaknesses until now.

one guy said it, ” this is WRC license abusement”. it’s completely true, even though it sounds harsh.

real long stages nice graps real drivers and cars looking good physics what else do you want..?

I am looking forward this game..This autumn gonna be the best for the race game fans..

and you wait till it gets the lowest score of any of the wrc titles, but you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing it seems.

..i want a demo, wanna try b4 I buy !
- BB support; do they care to listen/react to what users say about the demo.. ?

e.g. No (time) penalty for crash/off road&”hurt” your car /: ( ??
-that’s too arcade for me :(  

will there be add-on trackpacks etc. ?

Y – i think i am gonna have to load it up again.
