Tried it, refunded it...

You show me where you can get a pint for £2.89 here and I'll come over and buy you one!

Cutlers Arms on Westgate in Rotherham. Pint of Chantry Pale Ale = £2.50

Most Wetherspoons boozers do pints for well under £2.89 too.

I wanted to say that you certainly get what you pay for with this game, but honestly, I'm not so sure. You might be overpaying a bit... It's rough. Very rough. Possibly even rougher than I expected. I've yet to find some kind of setting to run the forest stage at anything lower than 99 % GPU utilization (on a GTX 970 with an OC i5 2500k) and that's with graphics options turned way down (which means it looks like nothing what the screenshots above show), and still it stutters and lags a lot and struggles to reach 60 fps. Other stages are better, but it still stutters a lot at random. Also, the lack of FOV and seat adjustments make it almost unplayable for me.

Then again, it was only 4 euro, so I guess...

(As for the beer discussion, you guys would probably love it here. A pint for 75p and close to 150 litres of beer per capita per year tells you everything you ever needed to know about this country...)

Price is according to what you receive. It could be nice to play it on mobile at traffic lights.

 

[Nick Gregory]

After what I saw in William Marsh's stream recently, this isn't even worth anything near the asking price.

This Tech demo should come with a Health warning.
'Users of this software may incur injury's, such as broken fingers as the steering wheel might have a life of its own, and take your fingers off.

I hope they are prepared for the backslash of negative reviews for this title, it should never be titled version 1.0.0.1

 

[Austin Ogonoski]

Perfectly fine for a student project.

The fact that the dev team has been pushing this as the "successor" to RBR since 2011 is just sad.

 

[Case_]

Okay, I've found the FOV and seat adjustments, done a few more attempts...and I'm actually starting to like it. I mean it has tons of issues, the worst one being performance, but it has potential (provided it won't take another 8 years to show it). I'll post a sort of first look (unedited, more like an improvised stream) on my channel soon.

Gonna pass on this but on the beer

£2.89 thats 1 beer in a cheapish place in the uk.

I still remember when a pint of larger cost £1.20 and smooth was £1.30

I remember the pain of a pint of lager going up from 1 shilling to 1.3d. for younger viewers that's 5p to 6p

 

[Stnry]

also here is $2.42 lol

We pay around 2€ here in Germany

I must say i'm surprised at the negativity leveled at this work in progress title. However. It has made some rather large claims for itself and it isn't coming close to living up to those claims.

Someone said that they are surprised that it's v1.0.0.1 i'm in complete agreement.

Ha! Been a loooong time since I've been to Rotherham on a night out! Used to be the place to go on a Monday night back in my yoooooth

 

[Conrad Miller]

Love the sound. Reminds me of AC.

Well, like you've said yourself, if you ignore the people who would never play such game in the first place (since they expect something along the lines of Need for Speed - look at Steam reviews for pretty much any sim), I think that the biggest reasons for the negativity and disappointment are, just like you said, that it was kinda always referred to as the next RBR, and we've also been waiting for it for eight years. I'm trying to be as positive about the game as I can, but I can honestly say that it's very hard for me to not go all "after eight years, this is all there is of 'the next RBR'?" I have no issue with Early Access games being in a rough state (especially for 4 euro), but it'd be a lot easier to swallow if there was a year or two behind it, not eight years...

Still, I'm hopeful. The foundations are there, and I'm sure it was a lot of work to get the game even to this state. I just hope it doesn't take another 8 years to build upon them.

The old Steam Early Access dumping ground. Get some cash, abandon project.

The old Steam Early Access dumping ground. Get some cash, abandon project.

Without quoting some background info as to why you come to this conclusion that is a pretty harsh thing to post.

Personally I know nothing about the developers other than what can be concluded in the sentence of "RBR modding team develops new Rallye sim from scratch and releases early access on steam".

I give them the benefit of the doubt until I know more of the people behind the project.
I also - as a sim racer in dire need of the next true Rallye simulator - have a very easy time to spend the laughable amount of the equivalent of one beverage towards something that could have potential to develop into something I could have some enjoyment from.

As of the state the product is in right now and the apparent very long time it took to get there (understanding that these guys surely didn't work full time on the project) I have no hopes and no expectations that could be broken once I try out the software.

I purchased it on Steam the same way you would buy someone a drink in a bar or drop a few coins into a hat of a street performer you have enjoyed a few moments with.

In today's society a bit more often I think we should give a little, especially when it comes to people working to better a situation.
The situation about rally sims is that there simply is no money in doing these sims.
Rally is not a widely popular sport any longer with a large market that can feed high end simulations with licensed content and elaborate graphics and physics that takes a full development team several years to professionally produce.

If there is a small group of people who took it on for themselves to make the next step from producing free mod content for a completely unsupported and outdated computer game to working on the next platform to built from, we as a community who would love to see development in Rally sims should think about giving a little without the usual feeling of not being served well enough (don't take me wrong, I loved RBR back then and still do so today but reality shows it has reached it's end of development potential).
