#Wrc 9 vs wrc 10 Ps4

Playing on a PS4 with a controller, I found the handling to be pretty decent. Where WRC 10 delivers a sense of achievement is on the many roads and dirt trails of its rally events.

Rally stages bring their own challenges.

It takes a while to understand the intricacies of braking.

While the scope of management in Career mode is welcome, it’s very functional. There’s also little interaction with your staff or the manufacturer beyond the same, repetitive, bog-standard emails. I can understand the reason Kylotonn would do that, but it also feels slightly harsh. Change the objective, and it’s essentially a roll of the dice as to what you’ll get, incurring a small loss to reputation as a result. Win a rally and miss out on an objective, and you can end up losing more reputation points than you’ve gained. Other objectives are exceptionally easy to complete, so there’s a lack of balance in that respect. There’s a short-term and long-term goal to complete to the manufacturer’s satisfaction, but in a number of cases you’re destined to fail, as you’re not given sufficient events to complete an objective. Objectives are also strangely implemented, as if they’re there to obstruct you from levelling up or progressing too soon. If you encounter wet weather or snowy races early on, they’ll be stages where you’ll perform horrendously and there’s nothing you can do until you rack up the XP to unlock those skills.

You’re unlikely to hit the maximum point level before you run out of skills to upgrade at lower levels – but at the top WRC level there are more skills to attain, so you’ll need to choose which areas to focus on.įiddling through the R&D tree reveals a few frustrations, as features such as wet weather tyres are locked out. With the R&D tree there’s a maximum of 90 points to spend, and you can reallocate points via respecialisation at $25,000 a pop. Management adds another dimension as you sign staff to improve your prospects and assign R&D points to develop areas of the team (Team, Performance, Crew and Reliability).

The more you successfully complete for a manufacturer, the more likely it is they’ll offer you the windfall of a contract. You can start at Junior level and progress upwards, or gain the attention of manufacturers by completing the Manufacturer Tryouts. It’s the WRC 10 Career mode where most will likely spend their time. Objectives are either too easy or not attainable.As a viewfinder into the history of the WRC, it’s a fun challenge racing through the events with classic cars from teams such as Alpine and Subaru. Head over to Anniversary mode in the side menu – which you might easily miss – and you can relive famous rallies from the WRC’s 50 years, beating reference times and unlocking more events. Both Test Area and Training concentrate on improving your skills, providing a space to fiddle with the car’s setup or perform training exercises. With Challenges you race events and rack up points to unlock more. Skills Development is where you can focus on yourself, and it’s split into Challenges, Test Area and Training. Quick Play allows a drive of any special stage in any car, while Season is basically Career but without the management. If you’re a single-player advocate then Career mode will be the focus, offering players the prospect of managing a team over the course of a season. Start in the main WRC 10 mode and there’s Career, which is divided into Life, Solo, Multiplayer and Skill Development. Anniversary mode provides a good overview of WRC history.The World Rally Championship game returns for another tour in this effort from French developer Kylotonn and publisher Nacon.Ĭelebrating the motorsport competition’s 50th anniversary, it adds new rallies and historical content for fans of the sports to lap up.
