Had a flick through the forum and used the search engine and couldn't yet find a thread on this new WRC title. Possibly because everyone lost hope after the original and simply gave up on it there and then.
Usually I'd not even give a modern racing title, by a company producing a game for a mainstream audience, that claims their game will have accurate physics, a second glance. I will probably end up being disappointed by this one too, I'm just desperate to see something come a little bit closer to challenging Richard Burns Rally, which over 8 years after it's release is incredibly still the king of rally games/sims.
I am somewhat hopeful after reviews have come in rather positive even from a pre-alpha versions of the game. Reportedly they have finally decided to support wheels properly, with proper FFB, which should at least make it feel nicer to drive. The game does look a lot more polished and the physics do look a little better judging by gameplay videos, although admittedly it is hard to judge just by visuals.
Here is a first look by Inside Sim Racing. They seem to be impressed although in the past I have questioned a lot of their opinions and reviews, so I'm personally not taking their word as the gospel on this one. They do still however give an initial impression and show gameplay footage, so it's still an interesting watch nonetheless.

I can imagine a lot of responses in this thread will be negative because of the prequels and because it still won't live up to what Richard Burns Rally, an 8 year old title, still delivers.
However, still interested to hear your thoughts?
Or you could let the thread die, I only bothered because there's nothing on telly.
