What's particularly interesting here is that both games were developed by the same team – Milestone. Of course Milestone have since lost the WRC license to Kylotonn Games but don't rule them out bidding for it back in the future."
YouTube's member 'nfsking2000' has created an interesting tribute to rally games, in which we get to see the actual evolution of this genre from its MS-DOS days to its current-gen ones.
awesome!!! thanks for making me realize how disgusting this gen was as far as rally games go...
colin mcrae's
richard burns's
WRC's
topgear n64
are some of my favorites
WRC this gen stuck to its roots even though milestone took over they really improved and i cant wait for WRC4 on the VITA <---- now thats evolution : )
The last great rally game was Colin McRae Rally 2005. Everything after that, went towards the arcade racer market. Now that being said, due to where I live I have never been able to play the WRC series.
Richard Burns Rally is still considered the best rally game ever made by many hardcore rally game fans.
If Milestone could tune its car handling model and polish its visual output, the next version of WRC could help us forget that Codemasters has abandoned the world’s most mesmerizing motorsport.
again it feels outdated, they should have known by now. :D come on guys WRC2 sold something like 160000 copies (all platforms); what are you expecting w/ this one now?
Dam look at the trees, they're actually 3D and not some crappy 2D cut-outs. Not a single racing game or sim this gen has done this and it actually makes the environments more believable.
I just think driving in rally races is boring, but to be honest i love RALLY
