[Paul Jeffrey]

Codemasters have revealed the next wave of content heading to DiRT Rally 2.0.

Headlined as the 'Season Three & Four' DLC expansion packs, the latest batch of post-release content heading to DiRT Rally 2.0 represents a fine mix of old and new, with both the traditional point-to-point rally stages and the FIA World Rallycross Championship set to be well represented within the game.

Season Three will begin from August 27th and is set to contain the returning and refreshed rally events in Greece and Finland, plus the debut of the Yas Marina WRX venue alongside the usual mix of new cars and liveries - details of which can be seen below.

• Week 1: SUBARU Impreza (2001), Ford Focus RS Rally 2001
• Week 3: Argolis Greece, Special Livery Pack

• Week 7: Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, Special Livery Pack
• Week 9: Peugeot 206 Rally, Volkswagen Golf Kitcar
• Week 11: Jämsä Finland, Special Livery Pack

Once all that new content has dropped, Season Four will begin on November 19th and looks set to heavily focus on the World Rallycross portion of the title, we a new venue based in South Africa joining up with the returning and popular Lydden Hill circuit.

• Week 1: Killarney International Raceway, South Africa
• Week 3: Lydden Hill, UK, Special Livery Pack
• Week 5: Renault Clio R.S. RX, Renault Megane R.S. RX, Ford Fiesta Rallycross (MK8), Special Livery Pack

“It’s been six months since we launched DiRT Rally 2.0 and the response from our community has been really positive,” said Ross Gowing, DiRT Rally 2.0 Game Director at Codemasters. “We spend a lot of time listening to our players and we’re delighted to bring them remastered classics alongside new vehicles and locations to give them a completely new experience.

Seasons Three and Four are a perfect blend of classic and new with the likes of Greece and Finland which were established on the original DiRT Rally, through to new RX circuits in Abu Dhabi and South Africa. There is so much variety that will appeal to old and new players alike. We’re also delighted to update the FIA World Rallycross Championship with new 2019 vehicles as well as bodywork and livery updates.”

Yes ! And better make it gluten free !!! }=)

You should stop paying for groceries. I mean, look at what a horrible scammer the baker is, trying to sell you the same bread every day. Does he not realized how piss poor his effort is? You've already bought bread before! And for full price, too! So there really is no excuse why a new bread shouldn't be included free of charge every time you go get groceries.

What a comparison.

 

[Troy Barman]

Yes, it's outrageous, because it shows perfectly how utterly ridiculous the whole thing about "content we already own" is.

And your out here trying defend this game with a ridiculous comparison of bread. I rest my case your honor.

 

[Matthew Allington]

How many of the naysayers have actually tried DR2? I was on the fence myself until I picked it up in the Steam summer sale and got ever so slightly addicted You know Steam Refund is a thing, it's almost like "try before you buy"...

As it happens, DR2.0 is 50% off on Steam until August 27th, so now's not a bad time for those on the fence to give it a try for a couple of hours!

Funny, here I thought that physical items in the real world such as bread cannot be copy-pasted infinitely for free, unlike virtual in-game stuff. You learn something new every day.

I wonder why they have not solved world hunger yet? I mean, they could just gift one million loaves of bread to everyone, the same way Codies gave one million credits to players. Seeing as bread is the same as in-game stuff.

 

[Matthew Allington]

Solving world hunger with spontaneously duplicating consumable content? Is Codies suddenly the second coming of Jesus or is this thread on one heck of a wild ride?

Context, mate, context. Was trying to point of how silly that bread comparison is since it ignores the tiny difference between finite physical items and infinite virtual items.

 

[bogani]

I didn't say I did, but neither do you. I'm not the one pissing and moaning about it either, am I?

Since we're just speculating about how much effort is put in to things, I speculate that there is as much work being done updating a country and its stage length to DR2 as Kunos did to any of the the circuits that is both in AC and ACC. Oh wait, they probably did go back and laserscan the circuit again and model every single asset again, they wouldn't use anything from previous projects would they? Geez, that would be robbery. I feel offended. Should I call the police?

I got some "trouble" when Codemasters deliver to us the Monte-Carlo (which I Love) but snow without inertia and tyre slipping... well !

You get no tire slip on the snow in Monte? Interesting. You must have super tires or something.

I think we may worn the "good value/rip off" discussion a bit thin by now gents.
In fact I seem to recall the same one in previous DR 2.0 dlc threads.
So as we head for 90 posts in, maybe make it more about the merits of the tracks, for those who've come to the thread hoping to find that out.

 

[M D Gourley]

Everyone knew from the beginning that DiRT Rally 2.0 would "recycle" old tracks and sell them as DLC.

Yes, I personally hoped they would recycle tracks from DR1, but improve / remaster the visual look of the stages for DR2...and they have in my opinion so more than happy.

 

[M D Gourley]

It’s official I am never buying another Codemasters game, this is pure robbery.

The fact that you guys are ok with paying for the same exact stuff twice is exactly why they keep doing it.

While you are in fact right about paying twice, I feel Codemasters are appealing to NEW customers to the Dirt Rally 2 franchise, making DR2 a more complete and attractive game compared to DR1....it's just business.

Thing is, what can you even say? Especially when people think it's "recycled content that should've been included in the first place"?

All the "recycled content" stages have been transformed in DR2 compared to their DR1 counterparts, be it visually (sunset in Wales is probably my favorite so far, some of the spots just look amazing and have great atmosphere), but, even more importantly, the driving is just on a completely different level, be it due to physics, the improved FFB, the road deformation...

I can't wait for the updated Greece and Finland. I've always liked both countries a lot in DR, so they should be quite something when they receive the DR2 treatment. Especially Finland without the Moon gravity should be awesome. It is bound to be the ultimate Ouninpohja simracing experience (well, except for the length).

So fallacious ! ^^
And all the Monte-Carlo stages in all portions are on snow in this game (because in real, It happened some years !) !?

Yeah, the song remains always the same about this game (and DLC) because the opinions are mixed... as usual with a fuzzy game.

 

[Kenny Paton]

Thing is, what can you even say?

That did occur to me as well, but I thought it was getting a little bit heated, and I would imagine that sides have been chosen and we could end up with even more pages regurgitating the same arguments in an increasingly aggressive manner.
So let's just say it's a preemptive strike on my part.

 

[aka2k]

It would be nice to have a DLC allowing any car and track combination.

 

[Case_]

Yeah, like I said, I quite like the sunset setting in Wales.

 

[Cheesenium]

How did you get such good camera angles? Is there some sort of photo mode?

 

[Rallycameraman]

I’ve never seen such a bunch of cry babies in one place before.

I too can’t wait for Finland and Greece, as well as a brand new kit car and the 206 WRC! Finland with DR2 physics will be so much better than the original!

I drove one of the Greece stages with the Fiesta R5 when beta testing for DR2 and it felt so much better than DR1.

There's a tool available, which I was actually testing for the first time with these shots (hence why it is just the same car on a single stage):
