After the disappointment of the first stages in Michigan, DiRT 4 has shown us its potential, with the narrow and curvy roads of Wlaes, Spain, Sweden and Australia. That being said, you must keep in mind that this new installment in the series is nowhere near the complexity of DiRT Rally, but is however much closer to the first Colin McRae games than the first 3 DiRT when you choose the simulation mode. Although the driving is more forgiving than in DiRT Rally, it is still interesting enough once you've left the R2 cars behind, but we believe Codemasters will have a hard time convincing those who are into hardcore simulations. Those with a more open mind will disover a fun game to play that can offer enough realism to maintain their interest for a little while, until DiRT Rally is announced maybe?

Here are finally a bunch of DiRT 4 videos that we could not share any sooner as we were only sent a PS4 code yesterday. We also have a PC version, but strangely enough, contrary to some of the US reviewers we've seen playing on this platform, it will not be unlocked before the game is officially available in Europe on Friday. To see if the disappointing visuals of the PS4 Pro version we have captured are much better on PC, you will have to be a bit more patient and we are sorry about that. We can't give you our impressions on the driving sensations with a wheel either because the only wheel we have works on pc, not on PS4. What we can say though is that the driving model seems to be much more arcadey than in DiRT Rally, even when you deactivate all the available assists. The previous game, which was meant to be more realistic, was actually more demanding with all assists than this fourth installment is with none.
Update: 6 videos added, showing a more powerful car, which actually makes gameplay more interesting.
