For controller sure, but bear in mind if you’re looking at something like a wheel with force feedback, and pedals with pressure sensitive response, that changes more than just button presses

Edit: to be clear I’m not defending the shit in this article in question. Just that some of the stuff they do may actually need a driver. But not everything…

Tbf, they make things like sim racing equipment etc

In my opinion, I really enjoy it. I wouldn’t say it’s HUGE improvement over Dirt 2, but the simple fact is you get lots more stages and tracks to play, lots more cars and a lot more choice of things to do.

It sure has it bugs and niggles, and can be a pain in the arse to get running smoothly if your PC is one of the ones that it isn’t very well optimised for (like mine)- but I keep coming back to it. I enjoy it, really. The tarmac physics are improved vastly.

In my opinion given the pace of updates and commitments from Codemasters, it’s worth getting. I don’t think I’ve been back to Dirt Rally 2 as there isn’t anything on there that EA WRC doesn’t have already. It’s just essentially an expansion for DR2.
