That NZ stage Is fantastic. Long enough not to memorise It easily. And extremely technical.
I recall Alan going flat out, In all stages of the 2010 preview videos :p
Staying on the road will be the key for some great times. That new stages design philosophy
has really nothing to do with the previous games.
Is this a trailer we haven't seen yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=claIDp5qsYY
Wow looks like graphics have improved from previews trailer :up:
Can't wait !!! :bounce: :D
Yes, this is a new trailer showing the different aspects to the "Road to Glory" mode, we will be releasing this trailer on Monday in the UK. This is the new "career" mode, which is a whole other experience to the traditional "Championship".
I've had a green disc (finished code) a few days now and been playing through the Championship so far. Despite being obviously bias, I am really impressed with it. The Mexico stages have been the toughest so far, Sweden and Monte Carlo were great fun, but Mexico has a lot of tough corners and bends (the SSS is a great example of this).
If you guys have any specific questions, feel free to direct them to ask.
(I am the UK Marketing Manager for WRC 3 on all formats).
Hi AndyPQube,
Thanks for writing and letting us ask questions. I'd be happy if you could answer the following questions:
* Will there support for clutch and h-shift gearing in WRC 3 - if not, is there a possibility this could be included in future updates?
* Have the car engine sounds been improved since the demo version?
* What kind of DLC can we await the coming months after the release?
Thank you!
No problem.
* Will there support for clutch and h-shift gearing in WRC 3 - if not, is there a possibility this could be included in future updates?
I will find out from the developer and let you know.
* Have the car engine sounds been improved since the demo version?
Since the previews yes.
* What kind of DLC can we await the coming months after the release?
There's nothing confirmed yet but I know new tracks and cars are possible.
Hey Andy - cheers for making yourself availible for questions! Two quick things - as you say 'from the previews, yes' does that mean since the demo, no improvements?Quote:

Thanks for your answer! Considering the fact that most racing games the past 5 or 6 years have had support for clutch and h-shift gearing, it's about time Milestone include it too. Especially since there are so many cars in the game that are supposed to be driven that way. Looking forward to hearing more from you!
Looks awesome, can't wait
I didn't notice anything dramatically different, but that doesn't mean there haven't been any. My ears won't be as "keen" to the nuances as you guys :)Quote:

All of the cars in the game have been recorded directly from the original cars themselves. They have been recorded from inside and outside of the car (so when you switch to cockpit view you also get the cockpit sound). They all sound great to me, but you guys will have a lot more knowledge of how they should sound than I do. I know they have worked with the drivers themselves to get their feedback on the sound too.Quote:

No chance you can give us a quick video sample of the sound of an S2000 car in the game, Andy? Milestone say the car sounds are real recordings, but judging by what we hear in the demo, there is sadly not much resemblance to the real engine sounds of the DS3 WRC and Fiesta WRC. I don't know how involved you are in rallying, but I suggest you to check out some video's with the real cars in action, and then listen to the sounds that Milestone have made for WRC3.
Now I only have seen Alans videos and I have played the demo, but I can't understand, really can't understand how some of you guyes can say that the car sounds great? Is that a JOKE?
In demo the cars sounds nothing as in real when the cars comes up in speed!
But the last link with the video - looks great!! Good graphics!
Thank you Astro! ;)
It was nothing Bennizw, only the truth! ;) :)
Het Andy, what exactly the Combo Contest Is?
Discription says: 'Mixes two or more mechanics from the other challenges' but can't really figure It out...
Can you be a little more specific?

What kind of rims does it have on there?
This Mini from the 60's looks very beautiful but I can't see that the extra lights has glas over the "light"?? :o but very nice anyway!! :)

There will be no support for this. There's an almost endless list of improvements they have made over WRC 2, but this isn't one of them I am afraid.Quote:

The "clutch problems" and other improvments must be done in wrc4 but I hope and I think it will (?) if we look at what the guys have done with this game compared to the other horrible wrc games...
That's sad that clutch is not supported in wrc 3 but they show as I sad before, that they have a clear goal with this games!
It think that we sould start a WRC 4 thread before next year to discuss the future improvments that we would love to see in this future series... I think it's the only way to communicate with the developers! And I have allready seen that they listnen and change some things for wrc 3 that we had discuss/hoped to see, so that's really good!
I think this is going to be great and absolutly it will be great in future and hopfully allready to wrc 4! :)
Andy: Do you know if Milestone gets some $$$ from the WRC promotor? In this case in future now that gladly, it's promoted buy the big and rich company Red Bull??
If that's the case, then I think Milestone will do some as kicking rally games in the future. Because - it's all about the money! ;) to get axsess to good "programs" and other gamebuilding stuff that I can not describe in english! ;)
Andy, thanks for that! Mega! My system meets the recommended specs, let alone the minimum specs. Definately gonna get this one then! :D
PC requirements look allright ;) Thanks for replying Andy.
I doubt it - it's probably the other way if anything :)Quote:

Do you andy have a pic from the inside of the Mini WRC?
Is there a pic of the Mini S2000?
Can we use for example the Mini S2000 and the Peugeot 207 S2000 in singel stage mode??
Can you Andy explain the championship mode when we drove the whole WRC. Is it a good mode!? Have never played it?
Is there any improvements from last 2 games in championship mode??
For us sim fans, should you Andy recommend championship mode or road to glory??
Can't wait to get my hands on it to see if they finally created the game I always wanted this to be, just one more week.... The first two were major disappointments, due to the arcade feel and ugly graphics. I guess it will remain a dream that they ever build something like Richard Burns Rally again, but if it feels like the first 3 Colin McRae games, I'm a happy man.
My guess Is that WRC3 will be added In my personal Best Rally Games list of all times:
-Colin Mcrae rally 2.0
-WRC4 PS2
-Richard Burns Rally
-WRC3 (2012)
This is mine:
-RBR
-WRC 3
-And nothing....
If the physics and the car SOUND and champ mode will be realistic and good for WRC 4 then RBR will be on second place!
Rbr :s physics is nice as hell as in original game mod but with all the updates most of the new cars physics is absolutly to hard and not realistic at all but the sound is great, I have a swedish co-driver, the sound is good, the sound is good to great but with todays tec I think Milestone can do better if they really want!
No, RBR is a great game but not so good as some boys will think. Drive some 4wd and 2wd rallycars and play RBR again, then you will see that the physics in that game is too hard in most of the cars...
WRC 4 will take RBR.... :p
RBR was 100% based on the feedback of Richard Burns himself.
It's mostly a game designed by a rally driver than a gaming company. ;)
Now back to topic or move on to RBR thread! :p
I don't have any additional images/pics.Quote:

I would definitely recommend the Championship for the "sim fans". This is the mode I am playing through at the moment and it is fantastic! I'm about halfway through and the variety in the stages is the most notable thing. In other racing games I have used the same driving "style" through every track. With WRC 3 I have had to adapt my driving style to each track and specific stage, it's very challenging and I think that is a major positive over some of the other competing titles (where you can just go "flat out" the whole time, win by 2 minutes gap and not even think about the kind of terrain or track layout you are racing on).
The Road To Glory is still a great mode - it gives you "hardcore" guys something to play after you have finished the Championship and gives the more casual gamers something different from the "point to point" rally.
It is worth making clear that it is 2 separate modes - if you just want to play "hardcore rally", you don't even need to look at the Road To Glory mode and you still have a huge career mode to play through.
