For those who know me might be wondering, seeing me speaking about Rally since i have never ever drove one. Truth to be told, this is for them, my first interaction with racing games was Rallying. I always hate when one guy is bothering you with how good he is in something and you are not. So we had this guy playing Rally, and happened to work at the PS1 gaming store, and we who went to play Tony Hawk or Crash Team Racing at the time, having only 8 - 9 years, wanted to beat him. He was perhaps 25y at the time. But we couldn't. Tracks were really long and we couldn't bother with learning them all. I think that at those times racing games kinda stuck with me and i continued till this very day.
Leaving aside my totally irrelevant stories about it, my point is, that maybe i am not really good speaking about Rallying since i dont have much experience with it. But i am not here to talk about that but about new game that is coming up...
As time passed by and we are now 2015 Richard Burns Rally is still regarded as the best simulation when we speak about Rally games, which dates from 2003!
I have on just few occasions tried Rallying and since RBR was the best, as far i knew, it was the only one i drove. But the graphics that game had and still has, are appalling! So i never bothered much. At the time, back then in 2003-04 and the following years, i was too busy with driving F1. I was totally into F1 ! But i am very keen to finally try out something that would be worth spending the time on it. Not some arcade like all other rallying titles, but a simulation that will surpass Richard Burns Rally!
Now Kylotonn Games have published some images from whats to be their upcoming rally title, WRC 5, and we can see the first glimpse of the new Rally... i hope it will be more towards simulation than arcade! Since every Rally game is arcade! -_-
Not much i know about Rallying games, even least i know about this game, other than it's the first time the WRC series will appear on next-gen consoles. They have teaser on their facebook profile.
The picture below which was have been published on the game's official Facebook page, they show M-Sport Ford Fiesta RS kicking up some dust. Where this is, id say Texas haha and you'd laugh. I have no idea really.
What is interesting is that the game also has WRC driver Sebastien Chardonnet as its ambassador! That's cool! Like i have said i really hope we can have one great graphic looking game with great sim-racing simulations, to be worth really. And we can read the comments on the people in their posts, asking just the same thing!
We can hope and expect that the WRC real life driver will, or is contributing with his experience and helping the development team. We can only hope that will result in a great game, fun and challenging...
WRC 5 as i have read will be out for PC, PS3, PS4, X360, X1 and Vita and that's not all! Their rivals from Milestone with Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo which will go out for PC, PS4 and X1 when they are going to be released later this year, we, who love sim racing, can expect great things when it comes to rallying, finally!
And perhaps i can try myself again in a much more realistic game for the first time after 15 years. Stay tuned!
