It's the most important setting in the game.įinding the right setting for your personnel driving style takes a lot of trial and error. Codemasters provides a simple slider for pace notes-move left for earlier and right for later.
DIRT 4 GAMEPLAY DRIVER
Once you've hammered out your handling style, you can select from a range of driver assistance settings, but the most important one is how your co-driver reads out pace notes.
DIRT 4 GAMEPLAY DRIVERS
But the dirt is only one element to contend with-snow and tarmac courses pop up in some of the game's other locations, just waiting to force drivers to relearn everything about their car.Ĭheers Codemasters: Gamer and Simulation are perfectly balanced between accessibility and challenge. “Dirt 4's” in-game physics are nearly as ruthless as in the real-world. The car dances aimlessly on washboards in Sim, particularly through bends, and it's much more willing to slide. When your co-driver calls out “over bumps” in Gamer mode or you see a loose gravel course, you can basically ignore it, but in Sim, you do so at your peril. Simulation is where “Dirt 4's” physics really shine. The car feels far much more sensitive, reacting to bumps and the road surface more dramatically, while steering inputs require a more precise touch. I ran one of the game's short, early stages in Gamer and again in Simulation and I was more than 9 seconds slower in Sim. Simulation mode, unsurprisingly, is far more challenging.
When you first start your driver training at the Dirtfish school, “Dirt 4” prompts you to choose between Gamer or Simulation handling styles.
And it is, once you get the settings right. While I'm quite happy to prattle on about Career mode, “Dirt 4” wouldn't be worth the time if the gameplay wasn't enjoyable. "Dirt 4's" career mode is a racing game with a big strategy element, and I love it.
DIRT 4 GAMEPLAY HOW TO
Was my car uncompetitive? Rather than buy a new one, let's figure out how to upgrade the turbocharger. Was I taking too much damage during races? Maybe I should upgrade my repair facilities or engineering team. Instead of simply thinking about how I wanted one of the high-end Ford Focus RS RX rally cross cars, I had to figure out where to spend my winnings to keep my momentum up. This provides an interesting strategy element for gamers. Oh, and you get to keep a much larger portion of the winnings.
With a car in hand, gamers can start their own team, choosing a name, livery colors and designs, sponsors, and then outfit that team with personnel and facilities. Before long, you'll earn enough coin to purchase a vehicle-a simple R2 Ford Fiesta or Opel Adam-and that's where the fun begins. You start out as a contract driver, receiving offers from teams to compete on their behalf, where you'll earn a healthy cut of the winnings. The driver creation, though, is only the tip of the iceberg. Props to Codemasters for including the option to race as a woman and for including multiple ethnicities. When you start “Dirt 4” for the first time, the game prompts you to create a driver.
