Always up for more rally games. WRC 7 was actually pretty good and miles better than any of the previous officially licensed WRC games this gen. Looks like WRC 8 could be one to watch if it builds on 7. Also be interesting to see what it offers next to Dirt Rally 2.0 (I'm also hoping for a V-Rally 5 - that game is a guilty pleasure!)

Will buy (eventually). I hope they'll extend all the "epic" tracks/locations to at least match the longest one in WRC7: Poland (23km). I love properly long rally tracks.

Managed to get a hands-on WRC 8 recently, here are a couple of videos displaying progress of an alpha build.

This might be the racing game I finally buy! Unless F-Zero also comes out. I'm gonna have fun on the Switch!

This will fall on the arcade side of things handling wise for me unless it is a MAJOR step up into simulation physics, which I doubt. I can see they are going in that direction but I don't think it will be a "sim".

The game stutters, freezes and completely shuts down my Xbox One X. Has happened twice in an hour. No other games do this.

Most people are now looking forward to playing Gears 5, but we're back with WRC 8 on PC, an excellent episode by Kylotonn which confirms the potential of the series of a credible contender for DiRT Rally/ The game's handling may seem easier to tackle

Thanks - will watch this later. I remember WRC 5 being terrible on PS4. So much screen tearing
not sure what happening with those games but as much as WRC8 good looking in rain at night , its not very fun to play with controller, besides some vibrations im not very feeling car at all. maybe they tried too much for this game to be good playing with wheels. i wanted to like it and i did liked some parts of it , but then its so hard to control your car with x1 or ps4 controller. when it brakes when you try to corner it ,, i duno i just dont feel what cars doing , like it sliding via ground not actually driving . i remember i liked Dirt rally 1 much better , but later didint liked dirt 4 or dirt rally 2.0. something just not fun about it to play it with controller. yes you can learn it , but whats the point of you dont feel car.

It's been the same with WRC7, pretty horrible to play with a controller. Even a sim like Dirt Rally can nail it for the people without wheels.
I haven't played Dirt Rally 2.0 yet so I can't compare it to DR1, but I didn't have issues with Dirt 4.

Especially with no analogue triggers. That said, Grid Autosport is fine with the digital triggers.
Joking aside, I wish it looked and ran well, but I'm not expecting it to.
Still no footage of the Switch version which supposedly launches in just over a week. Really hoping the devs pull something amazing out of the bag but the signs are ominous. I mean, rally games are pretty niche so why all the secrecy. Please don't be hot garbage 15 fps with shadows appearing 6 feet in front of the car with trees and rocks popping into view 10 feet away

It's bad ain't it. Still, gives us an impression of the Switch version and I honestly don't know how I feel. The way the vehicles turns in the replays looks really 'mechanical' and the low quality dust/water spray looks odd. And the terrain of the courses just looks flat. Suppose it is running on Switch at a decent framerate though, which is what counts.

The Switch version looks like hot garbage,Birdo wasn't too far from the mark. It doesn't even look like it plays the same. This is definitely not the type of game you buy a Switch for.
I wonder if it at least has Gamecube controller support for the analog triggers.
Wait pff haha wait
The switch doesn't have analog triggers? I never knew this haha

Nintendo hasn't used analog triggers since the Gamecube. Outside racing/flight games there aren't a lot of uses for them and those games don't have a large presence on Nintendo's consoles.
