... not sure about racing on these kind of tracks though. I want to rally through long gorgeous rally-tracks set in nature, and not on closed-of racing tracks...

It has the WRC license, so it'll have all the locations from the WRC.

While the best stages are the long stages through forests/deserts/snow etc, special stages like these are still part of the sport.

... and I don't mind them, but considering they said their focus was going to be on actual rally-racing again and bringing a more 'realistic' rally-experience than the Dirt-series, I would have liked to have seen the first screens show just that... :)

I really hope we'll get a very long gorgeous stage in Japan.

The Japanese stages in the first game were a joke.

Cherry blossom (even though the rally takes place in autumn) and very traditional rural houses everywhere, most of them inexplicably selling yakitori.

Quite why there was so much cheese added to the Japan stages is a mystery.

Nothing like the real stages on Hokkaido.

LOL :D It's looks like from PS2 or something..

Kiriel4665d ago

I think you've forgotten just how bad the PS2 graphics were, compared to today's consoles. ;)

This is hopefully pretty early in development. The textures need some artistic flare, or something.

WRC2 Review – Another one bites the dirt (lazygamer.net)

2010’s World Rally Championship was a decent game that was severely hamstrung in terms of presentation and content. In a genre that has gone beyond point to point races into more exotic ideas such as gymkhana and full-on, multi-terrain races, this pure rallying experience was always going to have a tough time trying to appeal beyond the niche audience that would be keen for it.

So with the inevitable sequel now sitting on store shelves, can WRC2 move beyond it’s traditional constraints, or is this a case of Déjà two?

I prefer wrc 2 because it has better physics, feels like a rally game and not an extreme sports advertisement. dirt 3 got boring very quickly.

Knushwood Butt4492d ago

Kind of off topic, but I really hate the way in WRC 2010 that the finishing line of the stage ALWAYS has an indestructible scaffolding structure thing there that is barely wider than the width of your car.

Where on earth did they get that from???? No WRC stages have anything like that...

Also, I hate the co-driver.
