More Bad News! EA Sports WRC 2023 - I've Cancelled My Order

[Music] check the description for the following discount codes yep you read the title right more bad news for potential buyers of WRC 23 from EA Sports not only do we not have triple monitor support coming anytime verified or guaranteed VR is of course still apparently coming as well again we don't know when I had someone email me the other day apologies I forgotten the chat's name to say k did you know that there's no UDP Telemetry output um UDP Telemetry output is what we use to run motion systems it's what we use to run uh simhub which then in turn can run things like tactile transducers Shaker Motors um LCD screens digital dashes wind simulation equipment shift lights RPM gauges all the fun accessories that we like to run as Sim Racers that enhance our Racing Experience use the UDP Telemetry stream out of dirt Ready 2 for example which has all of these things uh I'll put some footage up throughout this video of the things that I'm talking about so you can see how I used to use them and you know how they add to the overall experience particularly so for those of us with triple screens where we can't have a proper cockpit view the best we can often do is is use and I'll put some footage up of this a view whereby just the Bonnet of the car is shown on our Center screen in fact this doesn't just apply to Triple users this applies to single screen users as well because d 2 didn't have you couldn't adjust the fov properly to be able to see your dials and gauges in the cockpit you could adjust it so you could see them but it would not be scaled correctly for the distance you were set from your display or the size of your display so you could choose to do it it's just everything would be the wrong size um relative to where you're seated in your cockpit you know I suppose it's a letter two evils do you want to have just a bonnet view um or do you want to have your gauges displayed but it all look way too small and too far in the distance but you know the alternative was use a bonnet view or even the bumper view I used to use because it got away from the fact that the Bonnet wasn't the right scale either and then rais the seat up kind of as high as you could in that view and then use a separate I used an old tablet Android Tablet running Sim dashboard I think it was it might be Sim Dash they're two different applications uh and that was great I had all my um RPM my speed the gear I was in my stage times and everything all on the display in front of me I had my tactile transducers set up uh I used to have a seat mover that I used prior to my motion system in fact I sold the seat mover because to be honest they're a bit Pony and I don't really like them um each to their own of course don't shout on me if you like yours but yeah we now can't have any of that in WRC 2023 so I've cancelled my pre-order because I'm not going to play it if I can't you know triple screens all right maybe it's coming further down the line I would have still kept the pre-order knowing that I can use my motion system tactile trans juicers if I still had them I use a motion system in place of that my wind simulation wind simulation isn't the correct phrase it doesn't simulate wind um it is wind but what it is is another form of physical feedback about what your car is doing the speed at which you're traveling because the faster you go the greater the air flow and vice versa when you slow down and then it will curve left to right as you're cornering as well it's not real it's nothing like the wind you would feel in a real car or anything like that but it's just another form of physical feedback and it keeps you a little bit cooler as well so it's nice to have but things like the LCD dashes whether it be a custom one running off an Arduino or an Android tablet or just shift lights or an RPM gauge you know as Sim races we have all sorts of stuff attached to our Rigs and it's nice to be able to use those and now we can't so for me this game has gone from being an excellent one looking forward to it going to have my triple screens going to have my motion I'm going to be feeling those lumps and bumps and those big jumps I'm going to be sliding out cuz I got traction loss to I may as well sit on the sofa downstairs with an Xbox controller and also from what a couple of my other SIM racing YouTube Friends tell me that are yet to actually produce any content about this game but that do have it they're saying it's a step backwards from dirt rally 2.0 and some of the videos I've watched from other YouTubers they are being very delicate with their choice of words about how this game drives and handles very delicate almost to the point where perhaps they're under NDA and aren't allowed to give review type feedback because it isn't actually out yet I'm seeing lots of and I won't tell you anymore I won't spoil it for you I'll let you find out for yourselves blah blah blah blah blah stuff like this so I think it's probably NDA you're not allowed to give a review and so opinions and experiences that would come across review like are probably not allowed but speaking personally to people I'm hearing not the best feedback and lots of people in the comments are saying Carl can you also speak to EA and tell not to rotate the car on its axis so and that I mean that's from people that are watching videos I guess and kind of analyzing what the gameplay and handling looks like from a video not the most accurate things to do because you know you know what it feel I'm doing that with the controller you don't know what it feels like ain't going to feel like anything with a controller call um but you know what next they're going to cancel steering wheel support you know who knows but anyway very disappointing again um my pre-order is cancelled I won't be buying it now until triple screen support arrives and a UDP Telemetry output because um there's just no point be playing it it's going to be boring you know with with no motion no no vibration no tactiles no wind no triple screen support it's like it's just sit downstairs grab an Xbox controller car I don't really see the point I know some of you are probably looking forward to my review of the handling to let you know how it drives but I just don't think I mean maybe if enough people would like me to then I'll still get a copy but I just don't really see the point I'd rather wait until further down the line if it's going to have UDP Telemetry output they say it's going to be coming post relase just what they say potentially for triples and for VR but that could be 6 months it could be a year who knows anyway that's where I'm at right now I've canceled it I think I put a screen sh up showing you that if not I'll do it now uh and that's where I am so overall I've gone from being up here with excitement to being down here to the point where I'm like no I'm not even buying the game anymore it doesn't look like it's going to be worth playing all the things that make the immersive rally experience are now gone so anyway that's what it is as always thank you very much for watching and take it easy
