Quality is always above average indeed managed to create a strong association between one name of the developer with a particular genre. That by just looking at their names as the person in charge, you seem to have anticipated what exciting experience you will get. There is Rockstar for the open-world game, Naughty Dog for action game projects that focus on the power of the story, Platinum Games for action, From Software for RPG action games with challenging levels of difficulty, Firaxis for strategy, and of course - Codemasters for racing genres. This last name is already showing the promising lunge that is always promising. No wonder, if their latest product is always anticipated.
Codemasters are involved in so many racing game franchises, but Dirt seems to deserve to be categorized as their most popular product. As if filling the void racing game rally that had been empty a few years ago, he blended almost perfect. A rally sensation that not only offers a captivating visualization quality, it also offers a realistic, high-dust, full-speed sensation. That difficulty will not only come from just a track form, but also an external situation that you can not control, such as weather and light for example. For the newest series released to the market - Dirt 4, Codemasters also inject new features that are not less essential.
So, what is offered by this Dirt 4? Why do we call it as an addictive and challenging game? This review will discuss it more deeply for you.
Gamers or Simulations
Regardless of their image as one of the best racing game developers in the gaming industry today, Codemasters concoction products are not exactly designed for "all kinds of gamers". Because not infrequently some of the products in between, such as F1 for example, comes with a simulation approach that might make a lay gamer like us, lift tanggan at the beginning. The good news? You who can never play a racing game with a good simulation will still be able to enjoy this Dirt 4 with the maximum.
As always, Codemasters presents a special feature for those of you who are interested in tasting Dirt 4 as a simulated racing game. For those of you who are not too familiar, simulation means the effort to represent racing conditions like in real world with as realistic as possible. Wheel movement, setting, your speed to hold the brakes, the weather, until just a slight movement will have a more significant effect, just like in the real world. Simulation is intended for you who are pursuing the sensation, especially if you enjoy it with a specially designed steering controller. The highest difficulty level is in this mode, and the simulator lovers from Codemasters will not lose the franchise's appeal.
As for gamers like us or perhaps most of you who come and hope to enjoy a rally rally game that can be controlled more easily, Codemasters also provides that option. Dirt 4 provides one control option named "Gamer" for you who want a more arcade sensation. Although the performance will still be influenced by various elements that exist, but at least the control mechanism that carried it is more simple and not as complex in the simulation version. You who just want to come challenged and have fun with Dirt 4 will enjoy this one option.
The decision to present both options and let gamers decide for themselves what the Dirt 4 experience is like is what they want, of course, is an appropriate decision to thumbs up. At least for gamers who did depart from the arcade racing game sensation, he is no longer seen as a racing game with a level of difficulty "too high" that is impossible to resolve.
Fantastic Rally Sensation
As there is a longing to relish a racing game that challenges you to spur speed above the ground and wild dust, and no longer just urban setting, Dirt 4 presents what you anticipate from this one series. A rally rally game that not only offers a fantastic sensation, but also offers a variety of features and additional content for you who want variety. But admittedly, the main attraction of Dirt 4 is in the rally mode that has become the identity since he appeared in 2007 ago as Colin McRae: Dirt.
For those of you who are not too familiar, Rally is not like the racing model in general. Competition is on the tantagan to complete a predetermined track with as fast as possible. Taking the wild and rough path, the Rally challenge lies in two things: the driver's ability to control a car that is certainly not easy on this terrain sense, as well as the navigator's ability - who sits next to the driver to explain and prepare drivers about sharp turns like what he faced next. Cooperation of both is essential to ensure the car is racing fast on the dust and the like this, not ending up damaged or worse, upside down without being controlled. Challenges like this are offered by Dirt 4.
Then it represents what you have to face in the real world, Dirt 4 also simulates the same conditions. One that deserves thumbs up is its ability to make this racing game not just about being the fastest, but also consistently testing your ability to skip terrain and track designs that are ready to "punish" you for a minor negligence. Knowing when to spur the vehicle, turning, and slowing down the car at various points of track will be the key to victory. More cool? The role of the navigator who keeps shouting where you need to move also manages to perform essential. Why? Because it is impossible to complete Dirt 4 by simply relying on the strength of your eyes only.
Dirt 4 is filled with so many beautiful tracks with cinematic views to keep you entertained. But the track design, as it happens in the real world, is not just the way you should just pass. There are extra challenges there that require you to hear well the navigator's instructions and then define the strategy from there. Most of your time will be spent in a condition unable to see the road conditions for various reasons. From just a sharp bend that takes place just above the hill, to the combination of diverse turns that will occur in succession with a fairly faint road conditions following the surrounding wild environment.
Moreover, Dirt 4 also makes you have to adapt and "fight" a variety of external situations that you can not control, then make it a challenge. One that you may already know may be the weather. That the sensation of your rally will feel different depending on the weather. Driving on a snow-covered road is certainly not the same as you sped up on dry dust or asphalt, when heavy rain falls. But one that amazed us was the ability to make light even grow, becoming more important elements and challenges. When racing in a dense forest blocking the sun, or just a night track with no lighting system at all, you will admire the intelligence of Dirt 4 design itself.
While other systems do not seem to affect much gameplay, at least from the Gamer mode that we jajal. As an example? The damage mode you will encounter in the various modes. If you are an unskilled gamer and more often than not make your car upside down on the road rather than going through it, there will be consequences there. Not only time, but also the condition of the car that will be physically damaged. Damage that not only affects just from the visual side, but also the gameplay. There will be demands to set when you need to fix or leave it alone, especially when testing the existing Career mode. Dirt 4 also injects a small meta-game mode to determine which sponsors and crew will support your Rally career to the end. Interesting, but not very essential.
In addition to the Rally, Dirt 4 is actually still carrying other types of races in our eyes, important for variations, but not how essential for the overall gameplay sensation. You can drive bigger vehicles in Land Rush, or Rally Cross that makes this thrilling race now done in smaller tracks along with AI and unique rules. Each of these modes also has their own career path.
For gameplay and visual affairs, Dirt 4 will meet what you need and expect from it. A game that understands what a rally, charm, challenge, and then meraciknya into a challenging game that will make you try it again and again.
Your Stage Deserves to Thumbs Up
But of all the new features offered by Codemasters in Dirt 4, a feature called Your Stage seems to be the main focus. How come? He became the best "solution" to ensure Dirt 4, will be a rally game rally that will not be timeless. So, what is Your Stage?
Simply put, you can call it a feature that allows you to create new tracks for you to jajal, whenever you want. Everything is done through a UI that is really easy to master. By simply selecting a specific indicator, Your Stage will create a track that you can instantly enjoy without the need to design in detail. All you need to select only the main area as the base, how many tracks there are, how complex the contents are, and then the weather and racing time. And voila! Track will be created automatically for you jajal. Given its random nature, it is not impossible you will always get a new track with it.
An amazing one from this one mode? Codemasters managed to make it present almost perfect. We ourselves had tried it a few times and found that the track that emerged from it, really felt like a track that was born and designed deliberately by Codemasters himself. There was no awkward visuals there, no glitch as far as we tried it, and he was born as a track with his own identity and challenge. More cool? You can also mix the tournaments you want by combining them and also reaping in-game currency by completing them.
Your Stage will certainly be a solution for gamers who love Dirt series during this time, especially for those who are arming themselves with their own steering wheel in simulation mode. Track is never the same for you jajal with peripherals like this will make it can be enjoyed for a very long time.
