WRC game blog!!!!

It will be available on ps3, xbox360 and pc!
I have a sense-based on what's said In the video-that we're not talking about a full sim game here, but something In the middle...
(Reminds you of Codemasters maybe? ) One other thing noticed Is that probably they won't Include all stages of all countries...
Hope there will be at least 6 per country!

How far away are we from release? Black Bean says Q3 2010 which I assume would mean between now and October. However I suspect that it'll be more late Oct, early Nov so it gets on the Christmas list.

My one question now is, do I get it for 360 or PS3??

I wouldn't believe in a November release seeing GT5 releases in 2nd of the month and Im sure they dont want too confront that game on the market, so I would believe in a September-October release.

Regarding the platform that's always your choice. Do you have more friends eager to play it on PS3 or 360?! If you have more friends with let's say a PS3, I would go for that so you could play all together.
Sometimes some versions run better than others, framerate wise for example, so we have to wait and see.

Regarding GT5 release, I'll believe it when I see it :

Well I think this time it's for good, this release date was announced yestarday at E3 Sony's Conference.

I'm not holding hopes high for this game. They're not aiming at a full sim. Like so many game developers (particularly Codemasters), they are making an attempt to appeal to both the casual gamer, and hardcore motorsport fan. This doesn't work.

More pics guys.....







Those have been released at E3.

This doesn't work.

Yes it does though. How many of us rally fans actually own DiRT or DiRT2? I know that I do. And I know that I'll probably buy this WRC game. Motorsport fans will largely buy motorsport titles as long as they aren't complete arse (e.g if it looks and sounds good then we'll probably end up with it), especially with the lack of rallying games. By broadening the appeal they also end up with casual fans buying it and therefore get more sales. If they make a game difficult to master (like RBR) then a lot of casual gamers are turned off and they lose profit. Business 101 really.

Seeing this video now, I find the graphics a little cheap, maybe a little Sega Rallyish. Allthough this is only early progress, I definitly don´t think this is taking advantage of the PS3 and the XBOX360´s capabilities to the maximum. The also stages seem very wide compared to real WRC stages. However, as others have said, I´d rather have a game with good physics and well made stages than Gran Turismo like graphics.
