There's also plenty of options for time of day and weather. The extended stages are a pure treat and a challenge in endurance. Roads feel believable, they arent artificially widened and require skill, precision and control, road sides will punish you if you try to extend your line too much, it simply feels proper and rewarding. All locations feel unique, each has their own characteristics and they look beautiful, distinct from each other, as they should. A big strong point for WRC 7 are the rally events. Guess thats why they locked it to 30 fps on consoles, which doesnt do a fast paced rally game any favors. There's also the traditional optimization problem of bad frame rates, it varies rallly to rally, but in one country you can be having 60 fps, in next you might have drops below 30 fps negatively affecting your driving performance. I searched for a fix, i saw people on Steam forums having the exact same problem, but in the end i found no solution and had to suck it up. Also on PC, atleast in my experience, the game has an issue that would be game breaking for many people, during the stages game can often stutter, freeze for even up to 5 seconds and often causes you to crash, lose control and eventually lose the stage. Still, once you damage key components of your car, you do feel it and it changes the way you need to drive, its just the visual sensation of crashing thats missing. Only weakness still remaining are the crash physics, there's just no feel or sensation when you mess up the car, rolling your car over isnt that satisfying, the damage on the car is not apparent at first, even after bigger impacts, it rather builds up over the stage/es but it still feels rather insignificant in terms of how beat up the car looks and feels. Cars are well modelled and sound good too. Sense of speed is great once you build it up. First off, the handling and car physics are very good and a big step above from previous entries by Milestone and Kyloton. First off, the WRC 7 has a very solid foundation to be a good, even a great rally game, but it lacks polish in some crucial key areas. You can view WRC 8’s mini open-world area in action in the video below.WRC 7 has a very solid foundation to be a good, even a great rally game, but it lacks polish in some crucial key areas. Sadly the game doesn’t let you stray off of the main rally route before being reset, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed that a future WRC title will allow us to truly drive where we wish. With that complete, we headed out onto the rally route for some high-speed driving. After which we drive to the nearby bus station and warehouse for some Ken Block inspired ‘donuts’ and close shaves. Much to our surprise, WRC 8 amongst having 14 rallies, a revamped career mode, and more training courses than you can shake a stick at, also has a small “open-world” area which enables you to explore certain areas.īefore you get too excited the feature is limited – still, we had a lot of fun driving through the few streets on offer, sliding in and out of warehouses, and going for a drive sans co-driver.Īfter setting off we soon find ourselves in a car park where we thought it fitting to pull some handbrake turns.
