This is the nature of rallying, and like Art of Rally, you can get the perfect setup with enough tweaks. As part of the 50 year WRC legacy, you’ll get to run some bespoke events, but these can happen a bit too soon, and the extra HP or change in drivetrain can be a shock to the system if you drive like James May. You’d think the former are lite-versions of stages, but it really isn’t, and busting around the tracks in a Fiesta is unreal. There are the usual extensive campaign modes with Junior WRC and WRC 3, before the main championships. In the first few stages, I was sliding out so much that touching the tarmac was like reaching dry land when lost at sea. The same for the difficulty as the default setting is hard going – no matter how good you think you are.
An ant will fart, and you’ll slide off the track, so you’ll want to adjust the settings as soon as possible. In particular, the standard setup in WRC 10 is overly sensitive.
The game does take itself seriously, so if you’re expecting an arcade experience, you might want to try something else. As per the introduction, WRC 10 has the same mentality of ‘if it ain’t broke…’ Once again, the management sections in the game are in-depth – sometimes a little overwhelming if you just want to race. Optimal Gainsīut we’re being superficial here and talking all about the presentation. Each time you hear the stones chipping away, you can’t help but cringe about how the bodywork will look at the end of the stage. Even better, the sound effects from the controller are insane. It’s not perfect (a steering wheel would naturally be better), but it’s immersive. Like Wreckfest, the haptic feedback adjusts accordingly to gear changes and provides enough resistance to make you feel involved. Astro’s Playroom was the benchmark, but subsequent releases never fully utilised it until Timothy’s Night. Well, KT Racing have seen and thus raised that standard. Looks aren’t everything (ask my wife), but it certainly helps when setting the tone WRC 10 has raised the bar big time.īut it’s not the visuals that were the only standout, but the use of the DualSense controller. Racing through the dirt tracks offered some stunning lighting effects (and the replay videos capture the scene pretty well). First off, the visuals on the PS5 are something else.
Wrc 9 review ps5 update#
While WRC 9 got a PS5 update with WRC 10, my mind was blown with this game. I believe WRC 9 was one of the best rally games ever made, but got the impression the new game wouldn’t be that much different (plus, is there the time to invest in all those seasons!?). My inbox was trickling through with lots of notifications about this latest rally game coming in 2021, then a few months to go, new features announced, and then… the release date passed.
