I think Kingdom Come says no hdr and isn't but has a listing in their settings that labels iself HDR. So confusion seems to abound lately with that.

Gravel |OT| This isn't Dirt, it's Gravel
- Thread starter janusff

It's certainly worth a look if you're interested in a supercross game. I would only caution people slightly because it definitely seems like you need to learn to use the right analog stick to lean into turns, etc, and that can be a tough learning curve for some people. It took me a good hour or two to really get comfortable with it, but now I'm having a great time.
Also, just keep in mind Monster Energy Supercross is literally a supercross game. There are not giant outdoor tracks where you fly over huge hills and through giant outdoor environments. It's track after track from the actual supercross tour that takes place in various stadiums/arenas around the U.S and Canada.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I kinda expected it to be mostly indoors with official tracks and not much else. But the game looks so good and there's nothing like it in the market. I wish there was a demo though. Also I thought Gravel was Xbox/PC exclusive for some reason so I kinda forgot about it.
I've had my eye on this one, because I had a lot of fun with Sega Rally and the first three Dirt games. Good to hear it's fun.
It shouldn't be. HDR was already available for MotoGP 17 on PlayStation 4. This one might get HDR support with an update on launch day if it's not there already.
That's HDR rendering for the engine itself, it's been around since Half-Life 2: Lost Coast. It doesn't have to do with support of HDR displays.
Sorry, but I'm still confused. Does Gravel have HDR support on PS4 right now?
I haven't rechecked yet Fang sorry. give me a sec

Yeah I had to redo some of those a few times, they're not great especially when you have to use a certain car class. Have finished the career mode with everything unlocked, really had alot of fun. Looking forward to more online races!
I have made sure I had all the updates, and tried it on 2 different HDR tv's and it doesn't pop any HDR alerts. Someone else can chime in. But right now the PS4pro version for me doesn't seem be HDR.
I would assume its a patch issue maybe, or something else entirely.

Embargo drops in the middle of the night for me. I'll update the OP with some reviews of the game in the morning.
Honestly even if the reviews turn out to be just okay I'll probably get the game. I've been missing a game like this for awhile.

Any impressions? Didn't even find an OT for the thread so it looks like there is next to 0 hype for this, even though it looks pretty fun.
Make a new thread and just title it
'Gravel (racing game for ps4, x1 and pc) Review thread'
Or along thise lines
Interested in this game, but it's launching at a full AAA price, at least here in Norway. Feels more like something that should have launched lower.
I've found milestone games rarely go under £30 until the next game is out
I thought big Ben made those and avoided them . are they any good?
I think they were pretty good games, especially Ride 2, there is nothing else like it out there.
Cheapest I've seen it is £36.85.

His conclusion is that if you like arcade-games than you should buy it :-)
That is a shame. Here in Brazil it is equivalent to $30 compared to the typical full price ($60).
Downloading now. Karak's review fits what I was expecting.
Played the PC version a bit.
Very positive first impressions. Definitely arcade, but not brainless, and the AI can actually pose a proper challenge. It does remind me of Sega Rally a bit, as it has mentioned a few times before.
Graphically the game by default looks incredibly soft, but changing the AA setting, turning off chromatic abberation and "motion effects", it seems a lot better.

Karak is the best!
This game sounds like exactly what I hoped it would be. Can't wait to pick it up tonight.
I do not trust milestone. Thier WRC games were bad, the newer ones are much better with a different Dev, Loeb Rally was really bad in the driving physics department and I see the same disconnected floaty physics in Gravel.
If they put out a demo I'll try it but not a fan of milestone racing games, I don't like the wat they feel.

Not even going to bother than, pretty easy decision to avoid it now also not a fan of milestone
Op, you should just add a banner and change the title to make this an OT!
More of these smaller games need some love with OTs.

There's a demo on Steam for those who are interested.

I'm on it. Making this thread an OT now
Any suggestions on titles fellas?
"a Dirt Rally for those who like fun"
"a Rally in the Dirt for those who like fun"
"Who put this Sega Rally in my Dirt game?"
"Playing in the Dirt"

This looks more like I was hoping Dirt 4 would be. Don't get me wrong, I liked Dirt 4 and was impressed by it, but it got really repetitive and didn't have enough personality. It may as well have been called Dirt Rally 2, because most of the game was made up of rally and historic rally events that would make you play 10s (up to about 40) of events in a row. Meanwhile, the more personality focused events, like the circuit races and rally cross, took little time to get through and hardly factored in.
I felt the same way about Dirt 4. It basically felt like a slightly less brutal Dirt Rally.
I think Codemasters took all the complaints about "too much fun" in regards to Dirt 1,2, and 3, and they went super safe and serious for the current consoles. It's a bummer. I loved the first 3 Dirt games. :(
It definitely seems that way
They made a good game, and one I spent about 40 hours with, but it wasn't as fun as the previous Dirt games (outside of Rally, which was too difficult). Repetition really hurt it.
Hell, in that time I didn't even get beating the Historic Rally tier. It wasn't part of the main campaign, and just became too much.

Thanks guys. Got the title. PM'd a mod for a title change. I'll keep working on the OP through out the day. Also I'm just gonna go ahead and buy this game now. I can't make an OT for a game I'm not gonna buy! Lol
Cheers
