No word. But Target is the only leaked Black Friday ad I've seen so far.

Lot's of things I am liking about this so far. Really shows how much Codemaster's dropped the ball on DiRT 4. I love the longer stages, the variety of stages, and the fact these are the current real world WRC rallies and cars. However, as hard as I try, I cannot get a decent feel with the Thrustmaster TX Wheel on the Xbox One. If anyone here (Terry?) has found decent FFB and sensitivity settings for a wheel, please point me in the right direction.

Unfortunately, all I have found on internet searches results in the same result - just does not work well with a wheel. If only Codemasters would have just continued to update DiRT with DLC that would add new rallies, longer stages, improved league functions, and new cars (old classics or new would have been fine), I would have been content with just buying more DLC. Anyway, definitely impressed with WRC 7 so far, I just hate using a controller because I suck at it.

I didn't even have the game until the sale today. Never saw this, sorry, mate. I don't have the TX anymore (only the Fanatec Clubsport 2), and my rig isn't in a spot where I can easily use it on the Xbox anymore. I've done most of my racing with a gamepad *gasp!*, which is likely how it'll stay for me for a while.

Sorry

I suck so badly at this, but man, it's so fun! Amazing how much the surfaces affect driving. Just happy to have a good WRC game. And it doesn't send me crying in the corner in a fetal position like dirt rally... Lol.

Won my first stage, in Italy. Man, this game is so fun. I could never get "in the zone" in Dirt Rally, and it took some time in this one, but what an adrenaline rush. Amazingly improved game franchise.

Finally pulled the trigger on it. It’s $29.99 at Amazon.

Same price, too, this weekend at Gamestop for the more impatient among us.

Enjoy WRC 7, WP! It's my pick as Racing Game of the Year.

Does anyone know of any good wheel settings for this? I just can't seem to dial anything in that's fun, or doesn't involve 500 pounds of force to move the wheel..........

What wheel do you have? I have the Thrustmaster TX and I am struggling to get decent feel with a wheel as well. One of the main issues I have had with all the WRC games have been how bad the wheel setup and feel is in general. Does not matter if it is PC or console, it's all bad. I will post here if I end up finding something that works.

Gangrel · Post by **Gangrel** » Tue Dec 12, 2017 9:19 pm

Yeah, I have a TX. I haven't used it much lately, so I am not sure if something is going wrong with my wheel, or the game is just "off".

I need to try some Forza 6 to make sure my wheel is still working ok, but I think it is.

The default WRC settings makes the wheel feel 500 pounds to turn. And there seems to be zero force feedback on the road to tire contact, just when you hit bumps, etc.

Maybe WRC really is just meant for the controller.......

Yeah, what you are describing is exactly the issue I am having with WRC 7, and my wheel currently works great with Forza 7, F1 2017, even Project Cars 2, so my guess is it is not your wheel. WRC 7 seems like it definitely is an improvement, but I am frustrated that they can't implement a decent wheel setup on their 7th version of the game.

WRC 7 on sale for $29.99 at Amazon and Gamestop.

I've purchased Forza 7, Project Cars 2, F1 2017, MXGP 3, MotoGP 17, Ride 2, NASCAR Heat 2 and WRC 7 this year, and WRC 7 is the leader of that pack -- best racing game of 2017. Great game that transformed a moribund franchise.

Steam version currently on sale for $15.99!

The Challenge provided this weekend in WRC 7 is the a full Monte Carlo Rally. No restarts within stages.

VERY fun to see where I stack up against the rest of the world -- it's not pretty! -- on the same stages the real WRC drivers are competing this weekend.

Damn! Didn't know about this. I'll be firing it up in a bit!

WRC 7 on sale for $25 this week for XBL Gold members: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p ... )(2821835)()()

The best racing game of 2017, along with F1 2017. Grab it if you have even the slightest inclination toward rally games!

He was kind enough to share his controller settings in the comments:

All sensitivity - 50
All deadzone - 0
Everything else default

I tried these, and they're very, very nice. I trimmed 12 seconds from my best time on this week's Portugal WRC 2 Challenge just by using these settings.

Man, this is one hell of a fun rally game!

I’m loving this game.......thanks for recommending it PK!!!

Glad you're digging it, dude! Still my Racing Game of 2017, even with competition from Forza 7 and F1 2017.

We can't count Project Cars 2 -- that game is yet another console catastrophe from Slightly Mad Studios. After far too many wasted hours, I have given up on trying to find controller settings that work with the Xbox One. SMS clearly doesn't give two sh*ts about anyone who doesn't use a wheel.

WPatrick · Post by **WPatrick** » Sun Feb 11, 2018 8:35 pm

I’m glad I bought Project Cars 2 at a deep discount. It was a real disappointment.

I’ve been playing a ton of GT Sport. It’s online racing is as close to iRacing as you can get on a console. I’ve logged over 300 races. The game is extremely limited, but it gets online racing right.

Started my second season by moving up to WRC 2. Just finished the Monaco Rally.........WOW!
This game is challenging and fun. Driving on wet, dry and icy roads at night........awesome. I haven’t enjoyed a game this much in a long time.

Preach, brother, preach! I'm in the middle of my second career season, too. Also in a WRC 2 car.

WPatrick · Post by **WPatrick** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 8:21 pm

Started playing my career again. I finally made it up to WRC. This is one of those games that’ll go on my never sell or trade shelf. It strikes the perfect balance between simulation and arcade. It’s so damn good.

Now, If I could only stop crashing into spectators & flipping my car!!
