Plus, we have the all new co-driver mode which allows a second player to give the co-driver calls using a controller and the social screen. “Every car, every discipline and every location is fully playable in VR. “We feel this is a really compelling update,” said Gray. However, he asserts that the experience is well worth the price. “For example, we had to rework all of our art assets as you are now able to see areas of the car that we previously didn’t model in great detail.” “Developing the game for PSVR obviously comes with a significant cost,” he said. Gray also discussed why the PSVR update was released as a paid DLC update. You can see the inside of a bend and judge distances, braking points and look into a drift or slide with complete ease. It becomes more natural and we are finding that, once people are used to it, they are able to go much quicker. “It allows you so much more control and flexibility when you are driving. “It is something that we are very interested in as we see it as a great fit for racing games,” said Gray. He continued by explaining how virtual reality worked to enhance the racing experience. When asked what initially inspired the VR update, Andy Gray, product manager at Codemasters, told listdaily that “VR is a development that we have been following for some time.”

PlayStation VR (PSVR) support was added last month through a $13 premium add-on to the game.

The upgrade was so popular that the developer decided to bring the update to the PlayStation 4 release. Players could drive naturally, turning their heads to see the world around them, and play the whole game in VR. Last July, Codemasters decided to take DiRT Rally‘s sense of realism to the next level by adding Oculus Rift support.

Andy Gray, product manager at Codemasters Launching in 2015 for PCs, then in April 2016 for consoles, the combination of high-end graphics, realistic physics and dynamic weather conditions gave off-road racing fans exactly what they craved. DiRT Rally, developed by Codemasters, is regarded by many as one of the most realistic Rally Car racing games out right now.
