WRC 2010 is shaping up to be a rally fan’s officially licensed dream when it’s released this October. Boasting stats such as 78 special stages, over 550km of road and 40 different surfaces – we are expecting a hefty, realistic challenge. Enjoy the trailer below which shows off some nice car damage and weather effects.

Hmm, looks a little disappointing. Certainly wouldn’t buy it at the full retail price, would wait until its about £20 or less. I think I will be sticking with GT5 for the rally modes.

It looks like an underdeveloped PSN or Live arcade game.

I’d love to get this but… GT 5 is coming out and will take my money and time away XD

Although its true that the game doesnt look very good, im quite excited. i miss the old “true” rally games (ie. colin mcrae without the dirt in the title). i really like the dirt games, but they arent real rally games any longer, in my opinion…

I still like the Dirt games but nothing compares to CmcRae 3 for me. Codemasters have promised more poper rallying in Dirt3 so we’ll see..

I felt CM2 on PS2 was the peak. With everyone level pegging from a standstill, … pauses … I just got myself wondering.
I know the tech was primitive back then but I wonder what it would have been like if Codies could have followed times and integrated a full online leaderboard?
cam the man
My thoughts exactly.
Don’t mind if the visuals aren’t top notch as long as the car handling is.

But in this day and age there is no excuse for visuals that are that bad. Smacks of a rushed out underdeveloped title.

oh dear, think i’d stick to DiRT series!

The drifting mechanics really don’t look very realistic. Looks more Burnout than GT…

They kept repeating the fact that it’s you against the time. So basically the whole game revolves around a time trial mode? I wasn’t really paying attention but I don’t recall seeing other cars besides your ghost…

It’s a Rally game. That’s what Rally is all about, you won’t see cars racing each other at the same time. You’ll have the other drivers’ times to compete against.
KeRaSh
Now that you mention it… True… I must have been thinking of an old rally game where you could race CPU players… It was a Sega rally game… Damn I loved that game.

There are quite a few rally games with an arcade mode. CMR 2.0 is one of those, its fine with a little variation, but a rally game shouldn’t ever focus on multiple racers. I doubt this game’ll have an arcade mode, but you never know. It’d be great with a mode for a quick blast :).
You’ve probably got the idea of mutiple racers from Sega Rally aswell. A big title, focusing solely on that type of rally!

F1 2010, GT5, NFS:HP, WRC 2010, TDU2.
My God I think I’m having a crisis. I’m never going to be able to put my racing seat away during winter at this rate.
DJ-Katy
+ MotorStorm 3.

Ok, I wanna visit your house! lol, I really want a wheel! It’s an awesome time for us racers isn’t it? (I don’t think my r/l Pug can handle it anymore lol)
DJ-Katy
hehe I have it mounted on a seat from playseats.com, uses half the living room lol. Driving games are my favourite genre. The noise of your Veyron in a tunnel in NFS:Shift sounds awesome in surround too :D
Summer would’ve been a great time IF THE PRODUCERS OF BLUR AND SPLIT/SECOND HAD BOTHERED TO ADD WHEEL SUPPORT. Are you listening Disney, Activision? No, probably not.

Damn them huh? Never mind, come 5/11 there will be only one racer anyone needs (hopefully, I’m actually (because it’s such a huge and possibly/probably seminal title game) hoping for 3 or 4 reviews aggregated, that could be quite cool and something new for TSA, or am I being all kinds of silly?).
Damn you and your seat/just-and-so-large-enough-living-room lol. GT5 is salivating enough but what with everything else sapping us gamers of a black financial situation, I can’t help but be happy, If not, I’d cry tears of joy lol. :D

Looks ok. Wish Codies was doing it tho, think it’ll have to be DiRT 3 instead.

As others have said, the graphics aren’t particularly impressive, but that’s not a deal breaker for me as long as the developers have got the gameplay mechanics right.
