DIRT 5
Posted: Mon May 30, 2022 12:12 pm
I think that some of you have liked or commented on my Dirt 5 videos that you have seen under What's New on the PS4. (Thanks to those that have). I say think because for some unknown reason I can't see those videos and very little of anything else. I've checked settings and googled the problem to find a solution but to no avail.....
Unlike GT7 which is a Simcade, Dirt 5 is an Arcade game. It is, for me, the best and most fun I've had on a racing game. Huge vehicle and track selection, time trials for every track (forward and reverse), career mode, dry, wet and snow weather settings and online racing which although against strangers is 99% of the time non toxic. Yes there is bumping as it's that type of game but even if you do get hit, it doesn't spoil your race as it's still possible to go on to win. No vehicle tuning which means everyone is equal. The most important thing is the driveability of the vehicles. Most are a joy to drive and those that aren't are still pretty good.
Many thanks to Paul (nofitg) who joined me on Dirt 5 at the beginning and continues to kick my arse on track every Friday night. Paul has well over 1.000 online wins! I'm trailing on around 860....Thanks also to Alex who tried it out and set some blistering time trial times, Sven who may yet be a convert and Brian who I hope will join us again.
Anyway, I've bored people rigid with my praise for Dirt 5 so I thought I'd post a few videos here so you can at least get a taste of what we are enjoying.
Epic battle no. 1 with Paul (nofitg) who is playing on his 2nd account - Gallinago44. Paul is in the RS200 and I'm in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V1 - 90's Rally Class.
The race starts at 44 seconds.
Epic battle no. 2 with Paul (Gallinago44). Both of us are in the Jimco Unlimited Truck - Unlimited Class.
The race starts at 45 seconds.
The closest race I've had on Dirt 5.
My opponent, who I don't know, deserves credit for a great race and for not blocking. Both of us are in the Ford Fiesta R5 MkII - Modern Rally Class.
The race starts immediately.
No chance! Ford Fiesta R5 MkII versus more Fiestas, Citroen C3 R5, Skoda Fabia Rally2 EVO all from the Modern Rally Class, and more including one car from the Superlite Class. (There are mixed class races as well as same class racing).
The race starts immediately. Final lap starts at 2 minutes 30 seconds.
