Much prefer the original over the 5. The reason is because the 1st game was actually being handled by many former Dirt 1-2 key developers. That's why its rally expansion was able to capture the heart and soul of video game rallying better.
I see a few comments here claiming the original is better. I have to say for an 11 year old game on 18 year old hardware it's still quite impressive. But as someone who uses a force feedback wheel. The original just doesn't compete with the fidelity of FH5, and using a controller is a lot more forgiving. Also, FH5 wipes the floor of the original when you compare the graphics, audio and framerate.
Apart from the pacenotes which are way better and detailed in FH1. Everything is better in FH5 rally. Better handling, open world, better courses, weather changes, better wheel ffb etc. FH1 rally is still awesome don't get me wrong and still play that dlc but there is clearly a nostalgia bias in the comments. Anyways awesome video!
I’ll just say it. The original is clearly better, but it’s a good step on PG’s part that they brought back rally in this form at all. They’re clearly acknowledging that the fanbase at large desires a return to the magic of 2012, and we should keep encouraging that.
Am I the only one to mention framerate topic on FH1? I mean, yeah, its 30, many games had and have it still. But really, here, in direct comparison and live action, it looks just awful. Like slideshow, not a motion. Almost sick.
