WHAT THE DEVELOPERS HAVE TO SAY:
Why Early Access?
“It’s really important to us that we make DiRT Rally the best game it can be and we can only do that with your help. Steam Early Access is the perfect place for us to do that. We believe that DiRT Rally is the game many of our fans want and right now, our plan is to develop DiRT Rally with community feedback and get that experience absolutely right.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?
“We currently have plans to run our early access programme until the end of 2015, we have a whole host of new and exciting features already planned and we can’t wait to hear what the fans would like to see us add too.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
“As time goes on we’ll be adding more cars, more environments and more rally stages, we’ll be climbing Pikes Peak and going door-to-door around a selection of the best circuits from the 2015 FIA World Rallycross Championship. We’re hoping to include competitive online play this summer and we’ll also be adding features based on feedback from our community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?
“At release DiRT Rally will include a total of 36 rally stages spread across Monte Carlo, Greece and Wales. We will launch with a wide selection of cars, from 1960s classics right through to modern day machines.

We have in game league support, daily, weekly and monthly challenges and a career mode which takes you from grass roots rally events in classic rally cars to professional championships in some of the latest and most high tech cars available.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“Yes, the price will increase throughout the Early Access program, and again after Early Access to reflect the state of the game. All updates to the game will be free after a player’s initial purchase, ie pay once, and everything else gets added for free!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
“There are loads of ways you can help; buying the game reinforces our belief that we’re making the game you all want, playing the game enables us to collect loads of useful data about the kinds of ways you play it. If you find a bug or something that’s not quite right we need you to give us as much information about it as you can and if you have an idea about how we can make DiRT Rally even better, we want to hear it.

For those who aren’t ready to join us for early access we still want your feedback and we’ve tried to make DiRT Rally as easy to follow as possible. Our new shiny website dirtgame.com should be your first port of call; here we have blogs from the dev team, videos and our development timeline. You’ll also be able to check your stats and leaderboard standings, join or host a league, view your progress in our async events and even launch the game right from your browser!”

Also I think it's important to remember that they have turned out some superb games in the past

Me and the guys got some serious mileage (literally, lol)

Simulated mileage isn't literal mileage

Flight Sim hours are pilot hours, apparently.

£25 is cheap now?

Why oh why will no one develop a Destruction Derby remake for me?

Thinking back DiRT2 was a bloody good game, the American twaddle had started to creep in but the meat of the game was absolutely solid, and they had a fantastic licensed soundtrack for it too.

Me and the guys got some serious mileage (literally, lol) out of it on the Saturday night slot, usually sticking to the pure staggered start rally stages, many of which were sublime tracks to race on.

I pretty much completed the single player campaign too.

If DiRT Rally basically does the best bits of DiRT2, and indeed just focuses on the best bits of DiRT2, then we'll be happy. And at £22.49 for Early Access plus guaranteed updates right the way up to and including release, along with a promise of no microtransactions, there's very little to complain about here IMO.

Got this preordered for the PS4 as it's out next week. Can't wait.

Should be playable with a pad too, unlike Project Cars which really isn't. Definitely not buying another wheel.

I'd be very surprised if it was much like Richard Burns Rally. That was a ludicrously difficult (but excellent, and supposedly realisitic) game. I thought it was unplayable for the first week I had it until I sussed out you actually had to use proper rally driving techniques like left foot braking.

I read a review where this was described as the Bloodborne of driving games.

Ha, that's such a gleefully fucking pointless and stupid comparison. I want a game that's the Wolfenstein of RTSs. Or the Destiny of match-three puzzlers. Or the Barbie Horse Adventures of first person shooters.

Is this a trustworthy source for buying this game cheap? Anyone have history buying from there?

Is that on PS4?

"Amazing Ring road ahead"
