Colin McRae Rally (re-mastered for HD) - available on Steam

- Start date
That makes me sick to my stomach.
Played a couple of stages. Even though it's a port of a mobile version of a 15 year old game, it's still better than the garbage WRC games that have been coming out in recent years. The stages have actual flow, and basic rally techniques seem to work just fine.
Game is good for what it is. It's not Richard Burns Rally, but then nothing is.

I'm confused!
What's the point? CMR2.0 was released on PC (I know that because I still do have my copy and usually install it every 6 to 12 months to play some), and it already looks good.
Fake edit:
So this is the port of a mobile game on PC. Is this a joke? Is this common practice these days? On PC, I only play CIV games and Rocksmith so maybe I'm out of the loop...
What I would LOVE is a port of the first game! I liked how they had these driving licence challenges (like in GT).

They can't digitally distribute CMR2.0 as it was. I can't even begin to imagine the licensing hell they'd have to go through to make that happen.

Damn, missed the free keysAny more coming up? PRETTY PLEASE???
I played these old CMR's to death back in the day. Brilliant games. I would kill for DiRT 4 to go back to those roots.
The next DiRT is only going forwards, nobody has ever made a game like it - Rally fans are going to love it

That sounds great. Waiting for a announcement

Is there even the slightest chance of ToCA 3 being put back up on Steam? By the time I started collecting Steam games, it was already gone.
Edit: I'll take the lack of acknowledge of this post as a "no".

On my radar.

Of all the times to be asleep...
and to be in the shower.Did not know that, thanks for the tip
Here are a few more
I guess I should chip in with my memories of the series. I remember playing the hell out of the demos for the first two games back in the day. Hell, at times, I would simply play them just so I could see how much damage I could make on the car, because I don't think I ever saw anything like that back then.

Here's hoping for some Spintires like terrain deformation. That would fit the franchise so well.

point-to-point rally mode only please
I'm only half joking

It's true, nobody ever made a Gymkhana only game before

If this is like the iOS version then the game is alright, the car's don't handle as well as they did in colin mcrae 2.0 and it seems like they toned down the max speed and slide factor, probably to help control on mobile devices.
If it's cheap then I say give it a play, the iOS version was never updated to have more content and there is only 4 cars, once you beat them all that's it nothing left.

Still hard to take that he and Richard Burns died in absolutely tragic circumstances, both would have still been in their prime even today.

I didn't know this even existed. I think I bought pretty much all the Colin McRae games back in the day, and really enjoyed them so will look at this.
Just as a bit of Codies nostalgia, here is a picture of my big box copy of TOCA 2. Now if Codemasters really did want a return to their roots, a BTCC game wouldn't go amiss!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
FYI it is on sale on Android for only $1.99!
I just bought!!!

Not really, at least not with this being a "mobile port."
Speaking of Rallysport Challenge, I'm kinda ticked Microsoft and DICE haven't talked about putting RC1 on Steam. There's a PC port there they could make money on, FFS!
I kind of doubt it. I only saw bonnet cam and overhead cameras in the trailer.
Anyone know if the game includes a codriver reading you pacenotes (trying to figure out how "arcadey" this is).
My childhood.

Lack of reverse gear confirmed for DiRT 4
/s
Just have weather, a Delta S4, and a 205 T16 in there at launch and it'll be perfect for me.

I feel like the thread title should mention that this is a port of the mobile game and not the original PC version.
Heh.
Somewhere I have retail copies of the older CMR games and Dirt 1 too, but that would require me going through my loft.
I may go on GOG later to play Colin McRae 2005, for a bit more nostalgia.

TOCA World Touring Cars is probably my favorite racing game of all time, I'd love a HD remake of it.

As expected. It's just a cheap cash grab.

Speaking of codies nostalgia, I have a Micro Machines 2 PC retail box around somewhere I think, will have a look around, lol
Kotaku posted an article about the game with a few quotes from this thread

I'll take Colin McRae 04 xbox (which runs on 360) over any other McRae. I want a DiRT that gets rid of that shit gymkhana crap and goes back to rally racing.

Just to get back to you guys and some of the points made in that video about it being a port of the mobile version, we've updated the store description to make it clearer what it is players are buying. Wasn't our intention to mislead anybody, the change should be live in the first paragraph and now reads (new bit highlighted in bold)
"From the developers of the multi-million selling franchise and based on content from the 90% Metacritic rated Colin McRae Rally 2.0, Colin McRae Rally for Windows PC features all the tracks and cars from last years top selling mobile title with THIRTY amazing rally stages with a combined distance of over 130km. Go flat out through the dirt and the dust of the Australian outback, take on dramatic climbs through the mountains of Greece and get sideways on the tight and twisty roads of Corsica."
Let me know what you think

If the game plays the same, I don't see the problem with an iOS port. Main problem I see with those mobile ports is that the UI is just not suited to PC. It feels clunky and oversized, I would have expected more from Codemasters.
I actually never played one of these games, despite being into rally games back then. I had Tommi Mäkinen rally, V-Rally 1 and 2.
Sometimes I feel like the only person who wants a new Micro Machines game
