Before the NeoGAF avatar revolution, it was a real gif.

However, WRC 1 and 2 are good games for rally fans, I hope that episode number 3 will be a better game.

If I remember correctly, WRC 1 was out together GT5 and WRC 2 together Forza 4. WRC 3 in october 2012 will be "alone" for the first time.

PS Vita version makes me extremely curious.

[strafer]

I love WRC.

[VanWinkle]

Awesome to hear about a Vita version coming!

[boingball]

I would love a good WRC game, but I think Milestone is not a great developer... They should license the Dirt engine from codemasters and build a good WRC game around it.

That I would pay full price for day 1.

Dirt is shitty game on a great engine, WRC is a good game on a shitty engine...

[Corto]

VITA version bought. And also another KITT fan here OP! *thumbs up*

[iceatcs]

Nice, I need some love to Rally. PC and Vita for me.

lol..I wish.

sadly this is from not so good developer.

Last gen we got the awesome Evolution's WRC and Dice's RalliSport,this gen we got random mediocre rally games.

[-bakalhau-]

Well it seems the series will finally look decent. I wonder if the gameplay will be too. I really want these guys to succeed, I know they're pretty small, but their 2 previous entries have been sub par in sound, graphics and gameplay... I hope they nail everything this time around (so I can give them my moneyz, moneyz)

Old game, old engine – WRC 2


New game, new engine – WRC 3

TERRIBLE news! Codemasters was rumored to be picking up the wrc license - now we have to sit through at least 1 more mediocre game from milestone. sadface

I didn't think Dirt 4 was rumored to be out anytime before 2014. I think they're focusing on developing Grid 2 for 2013 first.

As mediocre as WRC 2 was, and despite the issues it had, I still think it was a ton of fun. Way more fun and a more solid rally experience than Dirt 3 was IMO.

I'm hoping this one is region free as well. I'll take WRC 3 over nothing until Dirt 4 in two years.

[cyberheater]

It will be interesting to see how Vita version compares to the big boys.

No,please No, Codemasters is pure and utter shit, they just made poop nowadays.

Why can't we have Evolution studio,Dice,PD (lol) or Turn 10 or anyone actually decent getting the license?

i can understand not liking the other rally-esque genres that dirt 3 had but your statement is completely wrong. dirt 3 handles beautifully. certainly faaaaar better then the evolution wrc games and it feels like an extension of RSC 2's handling. a wrc focused game by codemasters and using dirt 3 as a baseline (engine and physics wise) would have been AMAZING.

also, i'm sure even youd agree that codemasters >>>> milestone. give me this at least! :P

Out of interest, how well did Sonys WRC titles sell on the PS2? I remember every time I tuned into the WRC highlights on telly back in the PS2 days they would do a fly by/drive by of the course from the game to give you the gist of it. Were the tracks really official or just very similar with matching terrain? Obviously I never played them, hence asking.

[Neuromancer]

Will be interesting to see how this turns out relative to the next proper Dirt/Codemasters rally game.

Also I hope this gets a US release so I don't have to import it again, what a pain in the ass that was.

WRC 2 was pretty good but was definitely lacking in the presentation/graphics department.

The Grid team and the Dirt team are different I believe.

Milestone has the WRC license until 2013. With all the hints I've been hearing, I fully expect a Codemasters rally game for 2013. With all the gymkhana nonsense out of the way with this years Dirt Showdown it could be an amazing game.

ahh, ok, so that was the rumor. with showdown out this year, there is still hope for WRC-dirt-cmr for 2013 :)

[l2ounD]

How different is WRC1 from WRC2? From what I saw of 1 it didnt really appeal to me. 3 looks like it can be better though.

Dirt 3 was awful though, where you can gold an event without having to use the brakes is just bad physics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp_iWLxKgOk

[Jinfash]

Is it too greedy to ask for a buy 1 get both for the PS3/Vita combo? Because that would make it an insta-buy.

[mclaren777]

Milestone should partner with Sebastian, the guy who is making RallySim. They can create the assets and he can tune the handling.

All the games were million+ sellers. I don't have the exact figures but it was mention on Evolution's old website.

I remember every time I tuned into the WRC highlights on telly back in the PS2 days they would do a fly by/drive by of the course from the game to give you the gist of it. Were the tracks really official or just very similar with matching terrain? Obviously I never played them, hence asking.

Based on real satellite terrain data, the stages were fictional (in length) but they included iconic locations from the real stages.

Great to see the Vita support looking forward to this :)

Hope this gets a NA release. WRC2 was Europe only IIRC.

I don't need the most realistic sim ever, especially on Vita. I thought WRC and Dirt had a good fun/realism ratio.

I guarantee it won't have an NA release.
WRC2 was EU only on xbox, but also region free.

I pray this one is region free too. I had a blast with 2 after importing it. I really enjoy the handling, and the lighting on some of the stages.

It will crash with Forza Horizons.

I have the past two games on 360. Terrible graphics (cardboard people and trees), handling and physics a little off, but the only true point-to-point rally game available.

I will buy it again. Hell, I may double dip for the vita version, I am quite curious about it.

Yeah, I think all Vita games are region free, so I should be safe there at least and PC too.

360/PS3 I am not so sure.

[Chiaroscuro]

If that counts, there was a Japanese NTSC-J version. And the NA release was always rumoured.

Yeh, it won`t be out in US. Glad Vita is region-free, and I have a PAL 360 ready just in case.

Finally something fresh from Milestone. The first two games were crappy, but I will try WRC 3 with the new engine.

[paskowitz]

Nonsense! Richard Burns Rally effectively pooped in WRC's mouth. Youtube

RBR poops has pooped in every rally game's mouth since it came out. Even more so with mods. The only "rally" game to come even remotely approach RBR is rally GT5, but even that was a long ways off.

[-MikePriester-]

If it is indeed a 'new' engine then I do have some hope for it. If it's just the same engine as previous but updated, then please count me out.

I really really wanted to like WRC1 (and thought I would) and WRC2, but couldn't get past anything, crappy/disgusting graphics, dire handling and the tracks we're a millions miles wide!

The trailer gives a good impression, but as always, I'll wait for the demo.

Oh wow. That's a huge improvement over the last game.

will be buying the vita version to show my support.

I'm disappointed by the physics. :(

that looks considerably better then 2. love the reflections in the ice/water. wont come out in NA though, but hopefully there will again be a demo to downloade from the euro market

I'm disappointed by the physics. :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywpTHnO5qe8

looked pretty good to me. a bit dirt/cmr-ish. very narrow roads is a good thing too

[Choc]

game was so hard though :)

[Diablohead]

WRC1 - good game, looked rather aged and was super sub HD, car handling felt alright.

WRC2 - still playing it, big improvement to the first game in visual tweaks and better car handing especially the FWD classes. Recycled rally stages was a big downer but they also added in some new ones.

I will most likely buy WRC3 if they can make a good improvement again over the second game.

Everything looked fine until they switched views, horrible floaty physics :(

Journalist says that WRC 3 was an early version. Far from complete.

Many elements will be changed/modified. Specially in physics.

The test was done on PS3 with Logitech G27, but with automatic gears and the impossibility to access the driving help.

Journalist says that snow/dirt gameplay was fine, but there was too much grip on asphalt.

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

So what happened to the WRC 2 release for the US? Amazon had a release set for July but the listing is gone now.

Just import it from ebay. It's region free. I got a copy from the UK months ago and it works great.
