Sadly I?m not expecting it to be any good (Same Studio than SBK 2009 and V8 Superstars) <_<
 
well it sounded good at first until i heard the games producer behind it. They'll really have to produce something good here in order for me to consider getting it.
 
Richard Burns Rally is still the only proper rally game for me, but I haven't paid much attention the last few years.

Yes, but unfortunately it's really showing it's age compared to newer games.
 
Why can't somebody combine RBR and Rally Championship 2000? That would be the ultimate rally game.
 
or richard burns rally w/ updated physics and the graphics engine of DiRT 2 or Shift...
 
They already had 3 games that were official WRC, I have 2 of them on PS2. How can they just start over again? There aren't enough rally games any more though so I'm interested.

I think he was saying just take the graphics from DiRT 2, but keep the RBR physics, but just update them a bit.

My first rally game , that was quite a game ...
 
Man that's so comical to see that again after all these years. :lol:
 
Those graphics are so REALISTIC!!!!! :lol:
 
Well, supposedly this game will allow you to race against the pro's times, so it can't be THAT unrealistic (like, say, Dirt).

But it is coming for the consoles, so it won't be hyper realistic either. It'll probably be a Forza-level simulator.
 
I'd definitely consider getting it unless it looks really crappy. One thing I'd love to see is the actual rally stages, rather then some thing that hints at being a rally stage but not actually it. Maybe not all of them, but some of the big ones that everybody knows about and such. I'd take a realism look with it, rather then the zoomy effect and sepia tone BS that Dirt did too.

Rally Championship has a lot of things missing from new games (like setting up the car, viewing the track in advance) because the console players of today have shown to be retards.

I want Warthog to get off their LEGO-asses and do a new racing game.

now THAT would be a great rally game.

i'll remain optimistic about this upcoming game though. if they do follow through with full real world stages could be fun.
 
A WRC game is better than no WRC game. And if they get ACTUAL stages...all the better.

As for milestone's work in the sbk series... at least we know they can make something at least a little bit more realistic than what the moto gp series is now. But in their defense... I certainly think it has gotten a bit better than what the THQ series had started to become.

Also...they did Superbike 2001...which is arguably the 2nd best motorcycle game. ever.

Looks like they're going to have real stages.
