![]() The competition will spread out, try the top, bottom or even middle. It’s not all single file, rubber band racing. For the most part, the AI will race as fast as the line they take, just like the player. The best part of it all, in terms of the on-track experience, are your AI-controlled rivals. You do need to have the difficulty up to a certain level to be able to mess with any type of set-up screen, however. The set-ups do affect the handling quite a bit, and players are given the choice between a complex-looking page of numbers and adjustments or a more simple slider from tight to loose. Does anyone know the answer to question #7? It’s not dynamic like iRacing‘s out-and-out simulation is, but it is better than anything seen on consoles, no doubt. The shorter may around may look like the faster route, but often rolling the top or the cushion – where the slicked-off dirt meets what’s left of the tacky – gives such a huge run down the straightaway. Crucially, there are multiple grooves of racing at each of the tracks. No matter what you’re driving, though, they’re all going to race like dirt cars on dirt tracks should. ![]() Maybe it’s because I’m a NASCAR guy, but I find Street Stocks are smile-inducing. ![]() They all drive differently, with the Winged Sprints more agile and fidgety, the Late Models planted into the groove, and the Street Stocks, which are absolute perfection, are like battle tanks with no grip. With that said, getting sweaty while flicking the car into the corners with a wheel peripheral is extremely satisfying.Īt the launch, there are three different racecar types – the lone Street Stock, a pair of Late Models, and three classifications of Sprint Cars. The force feedback perhaps isn’t the most nuanced implementation, either. While it’s great to be able to wheel it with an actual wheel, this game makes me feel like kicking it back on the couch and having a more relaxing time. I tested the game out with both a PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller and a Logitech G29. In World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing, they’ve managed to make the way the car handles both more realistic and more fun, and that’s whether you use a controller or a wheel. In previous Monster Games titles, it wasn’t, dare I say, “fun” to drive. IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE DIRTY ASPHALT ANYMORE Visually stunning at times. The authenticity is present and it contributes to World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing being a huge step forward for racing games based around American motorsports. That’s the famous line from the famous World of Outlaws announcer Johnny Gibson, the voice you’ll hear throughout the new game. “You wanted the best, you got them four abreast! Often imitated, never duplicated, the greatest show on dirt, the World of Outlaws!” There are still plenty of hints to the old Monster Games, but it’s like iRacing was able to come in there and polish it up to be something that’s complete and worth spending money on. While it’s got that vibe from all of those games, this is noticeably, and mercifully, different. This isn’t iRacing, however, it’s something that more closely resembles the more recent releases from Monster Games, those of which include SRX: The Game, Tony Stewart’s Sprint Car Racing, Tony Stewart’s All American Racing, and before all of that, NASCAR Heat 4. I’ll tell you, reading and accepting the iRacing End User License Agreement and its Privacy Policy at the opening of the game was a bit awkward as most, if not all of it had language that pertained to the iRacing program itself. Let’s get down to the dirty truth about World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing. Yes, you read that right… the popular PC simulation, iRacing, has jumped into the publishing business and now has its name tied with a console-only racing game. Well, that was until World of Outlaws: Dirt Racing released to the world on 27th September 2022, published by iRacing and developed by its recent acquisition, Monster Games. While the name has been featured in esports on the iRacing platform in recent years, this top-level dirt racing series hasn’t had a proper official game since way back in 2010. One of the most renowned American racing motorsports, the World of Outlaws hasn’t had video game relevance in more than a decade.
