These restrictions are especially ironic given the incredible diversity in WRC 9’s universe–at last with the pit crew. The Scandinavian flick is perfectly implemented. But I still went back, because WRC 9 has the same grip on me as its predecessor did. It sounds like something we should always 'demand' on PC but, believe it or not, even some of the best-regarded sim-racers can have rushed or middling wheel support this far into development (and even at launch), which can make them really difficult to assess before release.
For me, it's all about the WRC series if we're talking about rally racing, and the Assetto Corsa series if we're talking about sportscars on asphalt that have that special something, that essence that makes them incredibly satisfying to play from the get-go. Night lighting is still a little garish and stark, especially on reflective surfaces, and every human on the track still have thousand-yard stares, as if haunted by demons of their past, but this can be forgiven. The Parisian studio talks to Gamereactor about the newly-announced racing game.
The destructibility of cars and its impact on the vehicle is undeniable.

WRC 9 has cemented its place as the genre’s standard-bearer. As you may know, rally is a race against time. Participating in a historical race or a manufacturer’s tryout during your optional events is a great opportunity to understand how uncomfortable it feels when you drive with a different car for the first time. The release timing for Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch will be announced at a later date. Über uns | WRC 9’s biggest miracle for me is the fact that I knew nothing about what the rally navigator’s details meant.
And, as you can tell by the accompanying gameplay, it indeed feels like a different challenge, with its bumpy-bumpy surface and its deliberately undefined roads. WRC 9 is currently the best rally experience you can get this year, but there's still room for a much deeper and more detailed career mode. Driving an agile car at high speed on a narrow, slippery road designed with many hairpin cuts and corners covered by snow, gravel, or rain might be the simplest definition for rally racing, but when it comes to the action, you get to understand that it’s more than just driving. Copy provided by publisher. It is the most in-depth rally game on the market: 3 new rallies (Kenya, Japan, New Zealand), over 15 classic cars and 100 special stages to tackle! You aren’t supposed to overtake the rivals directly on the road. The loading screens–something I think even I could swap–are copied and pasted from WRC 8. The career mode, its calendar, and the mechanics of progression are identical.
It really requires a very high level of concentration while playing. Without such an improvement, the managing board in WRC 9 doesn’t feel much different when compared to WRC 8. Nowadays, every career mode in the sports genre allows you to be the general manager of your team while playing a direct role in matches or races. You should also keep an eye out for your own reputation if you want to get better offers from top manufacturers.
You will fail dozens of times, but you will also learn dozens of tricks to avoid failure as well.
“The managing section in WRC 9’s career mode is a worthy feature, but it still needs more depth”. On the other extreme is the asphalt-based Japan, which also makes a triumphant return to the series.
Gegenüber dem Vorgänger WRC 8 (2019) gibt es unter anderem drei neue Events in Japan, Neuseeland sowie Kenia. Mit WRC 9 ist die WRC-Lizenz wieder da – und zwar besser als je zuvor. WRC 9 ist 2020-Ausgabe der Rallye-Simulationsreihe von Nacon mit der offiziellen Lizenz der FIA World Rally Championship. Elsewhere, technically speaking, I'd like to see some more detail and better lighting in the final version, as this looked a bit too flat despite setting all graphical options at "high" or "very high", and let's keep in mind the game not only releases on the current generation of PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, but also PS5, Xbox Series X and, naturally, high-end gaming PCs.
