    WRC 8 is bad bad bad.
    -No gysnc support, framerate fluctuates so much, forced to play at 60hz....
    -crappy graphics
    -Crappy FFB
    -Crappy damage
    DR2.0 is the king, WRC 8 is for the noob drivers who drive on a rail to feel good, Dirt rally 2.0 is for the high skilled drivers, 900° H shifter, clutch, and let's master the Group B cars :)

    2 new rallies all the rest is copy, paste from previous versions with enhancements so they hope you won't see that it is the same stages.... The additions of bumps and puddles of previous rallies make it less fun and was not necessary. The career mode is a bit of improvement but doesn't fit the Rallye game like it does in F1 for example.

    This is perhaps the dullest driving game I've ever played. The graphics look like they're from the original Half Life, foliage so unrealistic it looks cel shaded. The career mode has an annoying lady droning on about every option. The "extreme conditions" challenges are just awful - who thought that would be fun? The rallying itself isn't anywhere near as good as in Dirt or even V-Rally.This is perhaps the dullest driving game I've ever played.

Perhaps this is a game for hardcore rally enthusiasts, but for me, if this is an accurate simulation, give me an arcade game with a sense of actual speed and some handling.

    Tl;dr Truly last-gen racing game that is just no fun whatsoever    … Expand

    Que dire?
    Le jeu est complétement injouable. Je l'ai acheté le 21 septembre 2019, et à ce jour, je n'ai toujours pas pu faire une spéciale en entier...
    Pourquoi? Parce que depuis son achat, je n'ai jamais réussis à paramétrer mon G29 dessus. Je n'ai aucuns ressentis dans le volant, le voiture fait la pendule à ligne droite... Y a des moments on trouve un réglage potable, on redémarre    Que dire?
    Le jeu est complétement injouable. Je l'ai acheté le 21 septembre 2019, et à ce jour, je n'ai toujours pas pu faire une spéciale en entier...

    Pourquoi? Parce que depuis son achat, je n'ai jamais réussis à paramétrer mon G29 dessus.
    Je n'ai aucuns ressentis dans le volant, le voiture fait la pendule à ligne droite... Y a des moments on trouve un réglage potable, on redémarre l'ES, et là, on ne sait pas pourquoi mais le volant ne réagit plus du tout comme 30sec avant...

    J'ai tenté de mettre des extrêmes dans les réglages pour voir les différences, dans certains cas, rien n'a changé.
    Même l'attribution de la marche arrière est compliqué, parce que de base, il faut rester appuyer sur un bouton, pour reculer :question:
    Pour dire, j'ai profité d'une offre à 4€ pour essayer Iracing, j'ai branché mon volant, fait l'étalonnage dans le jeu, attribué mes boutons et 30sec après j'étais sur la piste. J'ai même réussis à faire un 2ème temps en qualif, et un podium sur une course de Truck rallycross... La preuve que le soucis ne vient pas de moi. A l'époque, j'arrivais même à faire des résultats sympas sur RallyeSim...
    Surtout que je pratique également le sport auto dans le monde réel, donc je penses savoir un minimum de quoi je parle.

    Côté graphisme, à la rigueur je m'en fous, je préfère avoir un jeu moche, mais qui soit fluide... Sauf que le soucis, c'est que même en low, il m'est arrivé d'avoir des lags, alors que mon PC fait tourner Ghost Recon Wildlands sans aucuns ralentissements.

    Les sons sont complétement irréaliste, alors qu'avec la conduite, c'est super important dans un jeu de voiture pour l'immersion...

    L'interface est super lourde sur le PC, car elle optimisé pour les consoles... Donc vraiment pas pratique.

    Je met 2 juste pour le mode carrière qui m'a l'air bien sympa, et +1 pour la licence du jeu...
    Sinon il aurai mérité un 0 pointé...    … Expand

    The WRC game series slowly improves. Career, dynamic weather and generally better driving experience will make you happy in this new instalment. However, they have to work on a better atmosphere and presentation, and most importantly the creators must deliver much more content. [Issue#298]

    There are some issues within WRC 8, and they're not small, but the game is otherwise so good that it's easy to overlook them. For all the times your engine switches to stealth mode or a fence post sends you into low Earth orbit, there are hundreds of times when you are blissfully guiding your car into a drift around a dusty apex in Argentina, or masterfully twisting through a series of highly technical corners during heavy rain. The vehicle handling is so good — and that is so important for a rally game — that even with its flaws, WRC 8 is likely the high bar that other rally games should aspire to.

    By far the best outing every by KT Racing/Kylotonn and in the WRC franchise as a whole. With a well-defined career mode, backed up by a wealth of stages, set across a variety of places within the world, all of which are well designed, WRC 8 offers a lot for fans who want yet another strong rally game to jump into. While not quite alongside DiRT Rally 2.0, it's certainly coming close.
