Texture detail is slightly softened by the anti-aliasing implementation here, with these elements appearing more defined on PC when using traditional multi-sampling - in this case we used 8x MSAA for our assets.
#DIRT RALLY PS4 1080P#
In terms of image quality, a full 1080p resolution is delivered on both PS4 and Xbox One, with post-process anti-aliasing, along with matching art and effects work. Curiously, a stronger depth of field effect is also present on console on the horizon, which shows trees and distant scenery slightly out of focus. Advanced fog and blending are also enabled on consoles: the former delivers a thick veil of mist in snowy conditions, while the latter smooths out edges of trees and foliage across the scene. In fact, several elements are actually running at max settings on consoles, with shader detail, weather, and track quality all appearing identical to the PC release. Texture quality on consoles doesn't quite match up to the PC release either, so the artwork appears a little softer on close inspection, but there's not a massive gulf in asset quality across the entire game. On the other hand, changes in draw distance, LOD streaming and crowd detail are less dramatic, and aren't so noticeable while playing. The lack of ambient occlusion also provides less depth around objects, mainly standing out across roadside barriers and buildings. For example, the reduction in particles sees less dust and debris thrown up by the cars, while the use of lower resolution shadows results in these elements appearing quite rough during pre-race sequences. The impact of these changes varies throughout the game. Smoke shadows and advanced ambient occlusion are also absent entirely. Texture detail is lowered from ultra to high, shadows, particles, and ambient occlusion are knocked down to medium, and draw distances are also dialled back slightly. And as you'd expect, Dirt Rally sees several graphical settings reduced from their maximum PC values in order to deliver this experience. Hitting 60fps on console hardware is no easy task, often requiring developers to make compromises in graphical quality. But what we really appreciate here is the return to 60Hz-driven gameplay, something that we could only experience on PC during the last-gen era.
#DIRT RALLY PS4 SERIES#
It's a great comeback for a series that seemed to lose its way during the last generation, with perhaps too much emphasis on arcade-like showmanship and gimmicks. The game's intricate mechanics appear more advanced than ever before, with accessibility replaced by a heavy learning curve that rewards players that really put the hours in. Perhaps ever.Several months after arriving on PC, Dirt Rally comes to PS4 and Xbox One aiming for a 60fps experience and featuring a handling model that goes back to the series' simulation roots. IGN praised the title as “more than just the best Codemasters rally game to date it’s arguably the best racing game Codemasters has produced in at least a decade.
The game also signified Codemasters’ first foray into VR: the title was made compatible with Oculus Rift, and in February 2017, DiRT Rally PS VR launched on PS4. The title was nominated for the Best Sports Game BAFTA Award, and won the 2016 MCV Award for Sales Triumph. Road-tested over 80 million miles by the DiRT PC community, the game was lauded for capturing the essence of what makes rally unique: that white knuckle feeling of racing on the edge trying to remain in control of your emotions as you hurtle along dangerous, undulating roads at breakneck speed, aiming to squeeze everything out of your car whilst knowing that one crash could irreparably harm your stage time.ĭiRT Rally launched fully in April 2016 onto PS4 and Xbox One, to both critical and commercial acclaim.
The game arrived as a happy surprise to the DiRT community in April 2015, when the game was announced and launched on Steam Early Access on the same day. In another break from the numbered franchise, DiRT Rally was made with one sole purpose: to provide the most authentic representation of real-life off-road racing out there.
