Personally, I am very satisfied with all seen on the video. And the sounds are not so bad.
Definitely, better than WRC2: More raw and aggressive. There could be room for Improvement though.

I still think the DS3 sounds the same as in WRC 2, there is something box like with the sound. It's still far off the real engine sounds sadly. Has anyone figured out if you can tweek the car settings by the way?
Now I have played the demo a few times, both single stage and road to glory.
The first impressions of the new WRC 3:
The last 2 games in this serie I think is at least CRAP... But this one, I really like! I think as Iv saying before, that Milestone has something really good going on!!
I have very very high hopes for WRC 4!!
This game as of now is a good rally game, I think that this will beat Dirt 3 easy because this is a fine and "real" rally game.*
I play on PC mostly and I think that the graphics in this game is good, almost very good! But I hope that Milestone can do something more with the graphics in the future, because I think the graphics now is a bit to much catroon, is to much colour, its not quite lifelike. But its okey, good!!*
Then on PC I think its going to be much better then on PS3.
The physics are absolutly great if I compare this with Dirt 3, and absolutly great if I compere with WRC and WRC 2. I think this game will beat Dirt 3 in physics! Not near RBR but I think Milestone is on their way to do it in future!
Iv only play this now on my PS3 with a handcontrol but with my G27 and my PC I think it will be much better!*
But they still need to do it better, more lifelike physics.
Tarmac wheels on gravel should be much more slippery!!
One thing in "graphics" I would really would like Milestone to change and throw away is all the tiresmoke on tarmac roads... NOT good! Thats not real at all! End that please!
The dust should be much bigger and hang longer..., Now its to small and not real.
The damage to the car is great if you drive with "heavy" setup.
Now the sound! ;)
It sooo much better then the last 2 games I think.
When the DS3 WRC stand still, the engine sounds superb, really good sound BUT please let the sound be much much loader/higher!! More sound!!! Its to quiet!!!
Then under way when you drive, njeeee the sound is not realistic, its not the sound of an DS3 WRC. But its still good if you compere with WRC and WRC 2.
The Fiesta WRC is the same but the engine wraaall / sound is soo quiet. Thats really boring!
Then the Fiesta WRC has a more powerfull sound and more distinct!
I hope that Milestone can do something about that and fix more audio setup as in RBR, like fore example, Engine sound, incar sfx sound, co-driver sound and outside sfx like birds, people and more so that we can pic our sound setup ourself to get it as real as we want it.
Its little anti-lag sound yet, take that away please and even the backfire flames!
But its a big difference from the last games and thats good!
The tarmac rims on the DS3 looks very good and the DS3 WRC as in graphic made is beautiful! Great job! The Fiesta is good but its more job there I think!
A really great thing was that my car at single stage was stuck at a road bank for 5min... :D I was stuck when I went of the road! Thats nice!! It was on a gravel bank!! ;) thats real!
But the grass should NOT slow the car down only make it much more slippery!!
So the positive:
This is going to be a good game!
They need to work on the details on sound, physics and stage for the real realism! More people/fans, "arrows" in junction and more of the small details!
But over all, this was a good and happy experience!! For me who hated the last 2 games!
This will not beat RBR but they are getting there but Dirt 3 will be beatend when the game is all done I think! Dirt 3 is not a real rally game ofcourse but anyway!
The things I would love Milestone to reflect in for the future or change before realise:*
- in start of the stage, let the player be seated in the car a few seconds before the clock is start to counting down.
- let the graphics looks less cartoon then you will have it all!
- let ther be much higher car sounds insted for high outside sounds like people and more. The real WRC cars sounds very high! ;) or fix better sound setups for us to chose!
- work more on car setups all the time, do not stop with this thing and I hope for the complete game that we can do very much more to the car setup because in the demo we couldent do anything. Let us chose to stiff up and lower the car alot and of corse in the other direction. Because the Fiesta in Spain was like driving a old car with very soft suspension!
- I love that you almost put the anti-lag sound away but its still there - THROW IT AWAY! Its not there anymore in real life!
- Then the dust, tooo little!! Let it be much more and let it hang in there, because in replay it not lifelike, its too small clouds, its not hanging and when the car almost stops, its goes away direct!! The dust stops when the car stops!
- then the cars dont get dirty of the dust??? It dosent take many 100 meters before the car is all dusty in real!
- more camera veiws both when playing and as in replay! The cockpit view should be more near the steeringwheel or with the dashboard!
- the windows should look like windows, get dirty and so on. Now I dont see any window if you understand me.
- when driving with tarmac setup on gravel, it should be very slippery (understeering) and when gravel setup, very oversteering/slippery.
- let us be able to chose to turn music of in replays!
As I say, I will buy this and im sure that I will find this game very funny and nice to play, and you guys at Milestone is going to make really great WRC games in the future if you compete and fight to do it much better all the time. You are not quiet ther yet but you will if you work with ALL the small details to make the realism 150%!
I really didnt think that you would succeed with this but you proved me wrong! Work on all the small things and no one will beat you!
This is going to be fun and Im happy now! :) Thanks!
Sorry for my bad english!
Quite satisfied so far as almost everything has been improved (sound included) :p : Stages are as narrow as they can be, handling is excellent ,graphics, pace notes, physics and car damage very good !
Now Iv been listnen to the sound one again and compered to sound clips on youtube.
The sound of the DS3 and Fiesta WRC is almost if not exacly the same as in real when the cars stand still, Milestone should get the engine sound a bit higher thou..
Incar under the stages is ok but not as good as I hoped for. Its still a way to go incar when I compered this to real incar movies.
So they have succeed with the sound when the cars stand still but not in speed.
I hope they will get it better untill the realise.
But the demo is 1000 times better to the last 2 games, we can no longer compere WRC 3 with them I think!
Looking forward to you other guys fellings and reviews of the demo but I think this is pretty good!
Please update as before with news and stuff untill the realise!
Its a great forum!
A short review (as expected), but like the Ancient Greeks, used to say: 'Brevity Is the source of wit' ;)Quote:

And leave all this exteme sports nonsense to Codemasters.
Posted this on Playstation Blog to Milestone Game Director Sebastien Pellicano :
Ciao Sebastien pino here again, just wanted to say that after playing the demo I am quite satisfied. The game has improved a lot in almost everything, my only complain is sound option. Let me explain : Being an old rallyfan and a former codriver I would like to hear engine-sound (and pace-note ofcourse)only when playing, not the outside sound. Everyday I visit 3 differents rallyforum plus the one I moderate myself and believe me, most people would like to have that option. As for the sound itself on the game isn’t as good as Dirt3 but I can live with that. My question is, would that be possible to add the option to switch off outside-sound and keep engine-sound only, before the game will be released ? If not, will you guys considering this in the next WRC4 ?
Thanks for your time

Have to say that the Rally GB stage looks pretty good there - including what I've found in the demo this game certainly looks a step up in terms of graphics and physics. Almost there - here's hoping WRC4 puts everything together and they get it 100% right!
