That was at least one horrible model they have made! To me that looked more like some old Datsun than a MK1.

Did anyone here play V-Rally 3? Can you remember the career game play?
You join small team/car.. Then move to a WRC car and get offer from teams... I use to drive the Corolla for 6-7-8 seasons and win win win like Loeb does now. Then on a chance change teams to a Mitsu Evo WRC 7 (god I love that car) have a crap season or two... Then work my way back to the top to a new team ie Ford and win again! Wish there could be a game like that!
Jnrs, then PWRC then SWRC... Then WRC for at least 10 seasons!
So far I'm in WRC2 driving the Road to WRC and drove an ex WRC Subaru for the first time... Forgot what level/career year..
I am playing WRC 2 on ps2. Full difficulty with Radstrom. **** it is hard!!! Not in the top 10...
I will be interested to see if Blackbean differentiates between the 01B and the 01A (in terms of performance and speed) that Nobre drives...if so I will be dead keen to see how hard it would be to clock WRC3 with the green pig
For your Information, Blackbean Is no longer envolved with WRC3. Milestone Is both developer & publisher ;)
I loved V-rally 3's career mode! Very entertaining and the most realistic rally career mode to date. Too bad the handling was kind of crap, but other wise a very good game.
Man, you're joking right? That game is a breeze (easy as pie). :)Quote:

Have you seen g z i i . n e t - accueil ? That site is amazing with a list of times players have done. Seeing the times by swissplayer and co showed me what was possible and my driving went to another level! I even "won" 3 rallies (OMGosh!!!) but the entries for those rallies (Cyprus etc) was very low and much less quality (no offence). I am RJB and usually driving a Hyundai Accent or Mitsubishi Lancer.
What I hated about those games, and CMR2 though, was having to work through the intermediate difficulty first before gaining access to Expert mode. I'm glad it was fixed from WRC4 and hope it never appears on the Milestone games...
Some Tips for WRC2 (PS2):
If you slide into the barrier, just get out of the throttle altogether, steer out, then reapply the throttle. Don't strain to save every tenth. Just be calm, cos the car gets "tangled" in the barriers if you stay on the throttle. It's crazily annoying. I almost wanna shout just thinking of the memories!
If you stay outta trouble and just let the car do the work, you should do pretty well. You don't need every tenth. Aim more to just stay on the road, and slow down as much as you need to to stay on the road. The times should then come to you. It's surprising.
If you think about it, the AI cars are not driving at impossible speed. It's surprising how slowly they would be driving if you could see them. But they are driving (quite slowly) on rails and don't make mistakes, and that's where they're getting all their time from.
Most of all, don't go wide and DO NOT MAKE THE TYRES SCREECH. Nothing seems to cost performance as much as tyre wear. It makes a huge difference driving with the tyres in mind.
If you do crash, don't lose your rag. Just accept it happens and focus on going forwards.
(Some of these are pretty basic, but they turned me from a crasher into a pro - well someone who can win every stage on every rally with ease anyway)
Now I think of it, I wouldn't mind seeing what tips other people have, for this game or any other.
I use Xbox 360 for WRC2... The car handles better when turning either a 2/3/4 type corner if you actually USE the brake then letting go of the accelerator to guide the car through the corner... I've begun to use the normal brake on hairpins and the car slides, using Handbrake slows the car way down... Give it a shot an it controls the car better too!
Yes I have not played this game in a good few years. I have won titles playing WRC1,3,4 on hard. I am not used to the PS2 controller after so long with a PS3/XBox 360 controller! Thanks for the advice though. In WRC2 I can win the title very easily on all other levels but just adpating.Quote:

For WRC1,2 and now 3 on the PS3/XBox I usually win the title on full difficulty although I do use resets.
I look forward ot hearing more advice from you.
Yes I have also noticed this. If I do not slow down fully-then use handbrake I ****ing slide off the road. Much better in a lot of cases not to try the handbrake too much.Quote:

Both those screens are Mexico. This looks amazing.
Hey! New on this forum! I would love to se the shots from Sweden?? I dont have FB.
Wrc 3 looks graphichal very good! Just have nervs about physics and the real realism..
Plz fix the Rally Sweden shots! :)
To be honest, the screenshots from Sweden look very much the same as in last years and the very first game. No improvement on the stage design there. Mexico does however look very interesting!
They need to bring Rally Sweden to new life like all the rallys! They can't let any of the rallys untoutch.Quote:

They need to update the graphics and stages in all countris to the realese in oct!
Maybe widen the stages in Sweden with the hard banks!! Soften them a bit!
I don't care for these "screen shots" because that is not what we are going to see when playing! Unless you just want to watch replays all the time!
Physical car driving shots and videos are what I want to see!!!
Absolutly but the screenshots says à bit of what the game is going to look like! And the graphic is one big thing but as you say, physics and realism is the biggest and most important!!
But à would love to see the screens of Sweden. Can someone please help me? I dont have FB!! :)
Here they are ;) I have to agree wih Benniz. Sadly, looks like nothing has changed from last year.
I wished Sweden and Finland were In the new stages pack so badly.
btw, those screenshots are not rendered, show they reflect In a way, the progress made so far.

By the way, welcome to motorsportforums and simulations section Astro83 :)
Thank you very much man!! :) yes SADLY nothing is change this year in Sweden. BUT I really hope that Finland is, because that rally was soooo ****ing lame and unreal in WRC 2. I really hope that Finland is like in Dirt 3 but even better whith both tight and wide roads!! Then we have to wait to WRC 4 to have it all changed, they want to do longer and satelitefoto stages for next year like they been saying so WRC 4 will be awesome I think!
Iv only been playing RBR since 2004 and WRC 3 is the first rallygame I is going to get à chans! :) The other WRC games has been à big joke to thoes who really is à rally sim fans and love the life of rally!
Was there any more pics from Mexico? :)
If that video wall Is showing live the car passing, that's a grand addition!!!Quote:

This game really have potential and I hope the guyes can fix real physics like in RBR and the Sound most be real this time! Not empty words, they really need to do this right. Not so hard with todays tec!
Cant wait to try this game/sim?! :)
Thanks for all the screenshots lcd! :)
Hay Really nice !
First reactions from Alan Boiston (VVV) and the guys at InsideSimRacing, are possitive regarding sim feeling and I believe them.Quote:

Anyway, It won't be a RBB for sure, but If there Is more sim In the game, that will be a huge success, for rally fans!
Do you guys know if Finland is one of the "new" built rallys this year?? I really really hope so! I hope its looks like in Dirt 3 but even better!
I totaly agree with you! I hope so for the future!Quote:

The format for every single rally is
Stage 1: Route A & Route B
Stage 2: Route C & Route A (backwards)
Stage 3: Route B (backw) & Route C (back)
Stage 4: Route A & Route C (back) [Stage 2 backwards, same ending as previous stage (so you'd better had show some improvement or Malcolm will be cross!)]
Stage 5: Route B & Route A [Stage 1 backwards]
Stage 6: Route C & Route B [Stage 3 backwards, same ending as Stage 1]
But Argentina seems to take place in a FOREST now! It suits me fine as it looks lush. It looks like Mushroom Hill zone from Sonic & Knuckles actually.
The only problem is like someone said, is that what it looks like in real life? (I don't have a problem with it, it looks great)
I've noticed where you could cut across and straightline certain series of bends last year, now there are rocks in the way. The road is also narrower, so it's more challenging this time round!
Where's African DLC for WRC 2 for PC?
From what I've seen I CAN wait for this game.
LCD, why aren't you pumping your league on here? Got 21 entries for the last rally, next week's even already has 12, I'm sure others here would be interested. I mean, you don't really need Facebook to compete.
Do you think I should do It now???
Oh what's this guys? This is news to me. *Wants to join in*
What?! Where!?
