AROUND THE WORLD - From Monte Carlo and Portugal to Kenya and Japan, battle 17 current and former WRC locations with over 200 stages at launch Twelve of the thirteen official WRC 2023 stages will be in EA Sports WRC at launch, with Central Rally Europe coming in a free post-release update. This is a new stage introduced in the 2023 WRC calendar that starts in Prague and takes drivers on a challenging route through the Czech Republic, Austria and Lower Bavaria. WRC 10 is a great rally game and a lovely, if a fraction flawed, ode to the… 49-year history of the World Rally Championship. The end result isn’t streets ahead of the already impressive WRC 9 – and it’s still making some of the latter’s minor mistakes – but WRC 10 is another successful example of KT Racing’s commitment to fantastic stage design and frantic, fast-paced, and occasionally unforgiving fun. – Luke Reilly, September 3, 2021 Score: 8

Being the official WRC game, all teams and drivers from the 2022 WRC season will be in WRC 11. This means you’ll be putting the new Ford Puma Rally1, Hyundai i20 N Rally1, and Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 through their paces. That big 50th Anniversary mode is an important part of this year’s game, and it’s by far the biggest injection of historical content to the series since KT Racing started adding classic cars in WRC 8. With its own separate menu and period photography it does feel quite special at first, although there’s ultimately not really a great deal to it. They’re just a small collection of time trials with a little bit of text to explain the historical context of what you’re about to do.The list below includes every racing wheel that works with EA Sports WRC on PC. This is the widest compatibility list of all platforms due to PC having the highest number of compatible racing wheels. For fans of competition, the new Leagues mode lets players challenge opponents with a similar level online. Finish ahead of your competitors to move up the ladder in the Legends category. The new generation of WRC game is upon us with the launch of EA Sports WRC (not the catchiest of names). This new rally game will be the official WRC game moving forward, with the license being taken over from previous developer Kylotonn. Fixed an issue where brightness in interior views was either over or underexposed in certain conditions at Scandia.

Resolved an issue where in the Ford Fiesta WRC 2019 the driver would pull the handbrake instead of the paddles to shift gears. The difference between a 1972 Lancia Fulvia HF and a 1997 Ford Escort Mk VI Maxi is vast: like going from a boot of Italian leather, warmly broken and rich with give, to a New Balance running shoe, with its springy sole and double-knotted refusal to slip. What's more, the stages (of which there are some 204, with 12 of the 13 official WRC 2023 locations present and correct) offer a catalogue of vivid textures. Try driving a 1964 Mini Cooper S in Sweden, among snowy spruces, and note the hard, flinty smoothness of the turns. The weather, too, though not dynamic, plays a fine supporting role. One run, along a sunny alpine ridge, feels starkly different to a similar setting after the rain; you go from sliding neatly round dry and crumbly bends, as if the course had been dusted with instant coffee granules, to a pebble-crammed slurry of doom.

Ride 4 didn't impress (fair ideas, but hard/impossible even on easy for me to play the AI are too professional not matter the cornering, the settings I gave up after many hours of trying) enough so Ride 5 not interested really (if like Ride 1 & 2, 3 & 4 were changes and 5 is like 4 in a way so nah pass) if it's similar so little racing games I care for of current gen (besides little care already for it of other titles right now and just playing PS4 versions or PS4 old games right now besides retro games for older consoles). NFS open worlds (or any open world racing) aren't for me. GT7/Forza Motorsport haven't interested me.Personally, I didn’t like the latest games in either of those series. Dirt Rally 2.0 was so hardcore that it took the fun out of rally games, and Dirt 5 is unrecognizable as a rally game. Grid Legends was great. WRC 2023 has Sega GT Dreamcast's feature but expanded upon I assume yes please wanted that for years now. Besides I assume other noteworthy things. I was quite disappointed to see that visuals have not necessarily been upgraded even slightly since last year either, especially with objects pop-in being so obvious. For now, the 120 Hz mode seems to be the best way to play the game if your TV supports it.
