The first DiRT Rally game had a wonderfully immersive VR mode that added layers of suspense, concentration, and genuine fear to the already challenging racing game. A few days ago a Codemaster's spokesperson was asked if VR was a planned option for the upcoming sequel called DiRT Rally 2.0. Christina McGrath had this to say, "We're focusing on making the core game experience before launch - and after that, if there is demand from our community, then we'll explore the possibility." This has prompted the VR community at the Oculus subreddit to launch a Change.org petition to bring awareness to Codemasters that the community really wants VR added to the title. I couldn't imagine playing DiRT Rally on a regular monitor again after experiencing it in VR. Virtual reality gives you that sense of realism that a monitor just can't do. Being able to turn your head and look out of your car's window to gauge how many scratches you left on the car beside you in the last corner brings a devilish smile to your face. Subconsciously ducking out of the way of snow and rocks flying at my windshield was a "Mario" moment for me. Watch a video of the first DiRT Rally game in VR to get a grasp of what VR adds to the game. Petition signed! There is no reason not to buy a VR device today and sit behind the wheel of a mud eating, fire spitting rally car, provided by Dirt Rally 2.0. There's enough demand to consider adding full VR support to the game at launch. People all over the internet (Reddit, Steam, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) are asking for it. With this petition, we want Codemasters to acknowledge VR is one of the most important features of the game, and to add VR compatibility, either at launch or as a post-launch update. Thanks for your hard work.
