Maybe the fact that I was directly in charge of hiring them and keeping them paid contributed to my investment. I actually did find myself wanting to get better to keep my team afloat. It's all a balancing act, and how well you race affects how well everyone on your team does. This is your incentive to race more in challenge events, to get more points. Of course, keeping costs too low could overwork your crew. Meanwhile, you also get points for upgrading your car or the efficiency of your crew. You have to manage your operation's budget, which means hiring the right amount of people. There's nothing too surprising in how career mode runs. Though I am having a good time working with them. I still have yet to make it to the big leagues with my team. Which, as I said above, might not be the easiest thing for newcomers. You have to work your way up from the minors to the majors, depending on your performance. It now plays more like a management sim than an EA Sports career mode. I may have messed up my fair share of cars.Īnother addition to this eighth edition of WRC is an expanded career mode. It also means that every bump and bit of weather damage accumulates on your vehicle, and that'll do something to your steering ability. This game is optimized for 30fps (looks good in 30fps too) or 60fps (Better for PC gamers). Over 60 fps and the stutters starts (its horrible). The physics engine behind it is actually very impressive. I cap fps to 60 and no stutter (i use riva tuner). Cars in this game handle like real cars do. I'm used to being able to bump into other racers and maybe skid against the wall at times, but that doesn't fly in WRC 8. Which can be challenging in its own way, but nothing like this. I played Forza recently just for the joy of LEGO, but for the most part, I'm a Mario Kart guy. I should admit, however, that racing isn't really my forte. WRC 8 is more challenging than any racer I've played in recent memory. ![]() ![]() Every racing game requires constant situational awareness, obviously, but WRC 8 is one of the few that will punish you for not properly considering changing weather or curvy roads at night. It's quite the opposite – the weather system impacts the game so well that it forces you to be ready to change how you drive at a moment's notice. That's not to say developer Kylotonn did a bad job on it. The dynamic weather system is a first for the series, and you might find yourself wishing it wasn't added. This is a game that will ask you to take on a variety of driving conditions, sometimes within the same race. The biggest claim to fame WRC 8 has over other racers is realism. ![]()
