Richard Burns Rally?

Website says release 8 days. Doesn't talk about PC version much. Anybody with any insite on situation. Is there to be a demo to see how it plays? Best way to get in US when released, looks like euoropean release. Thank you. Steve

If they keep those narrow roads I saw in a video then RBR should be a keeper. Perhaps us Yanks will have to form a buying club to import some of those puppies. dave henrie

The following article provides a detailed overview of the physics modelling used with Richard Burns Rally. http://www.bhmotorsports.com/article/150/1 My appitite was whetted before, but now I'm drooling...

The PS2/Xbox versions are apparently being released this month. The last time I heard a PC release date, it was September (and FWIW the producer of the game has said that while it's cross-platform, they're primarily focused on the PC sim market). I'm guessing a demo will be out closer to the PC release date. I'm cautiously optimistic. The game looks good and sounds good (while the lack of multiplayer sucks, it's not like you'd be racing head-to-head anyway) but it's tough to get a real impression from a pile of PR. It apparently has a very sophisticated physics system and is quite difficult (based on the PS2 reviews I've read, which seem to view the difficulty as a negative), which is good, but doesn't really say much about the accuracy or level of immersion. I guess we'll see. Jason

Is that web site saying 7th September or 9th of July? I can never remember, however UK web sites are howing 9th July for PS2/Xbox and 3rd September for PC. There's some very good previews and articles on BH Motorsports plus some good videos around at www.richardsburnsrally.com. I believe a PC demo will be forthcoming but no word yet on when.

Anyone has read this? sounds pretty good, but lets wait for the PC version we all know what can happen A friend has been playing with the game and he's telling me it is almost undrivable, and sounds very anxious to have the pc version to drive it with a wheel.... http://www.gamershell.com/reviews_RichardBurnsRallyPreview.shtml EL "netnews.comcast.net" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:CipFc.16914$7t3.10367@attbi_s51...

http://www.digitalphotos.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/misc/Rally.avi Watch that. From what I've seen I'm not sure if the game is up to N2003 type standards, but it seems like it has to blow every other rally game out of the water.

One more video worth watching: http://www.digitalphotos.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/misc/tune.avi And to think how overly focused GPLpeople are on diff tuning.

ALL! Do NOT click on that SpyWare Warning Box that comes up!!! I've had to remove SpyWare from hundreds of computers over the last few months, and several of them were infected by clicking on this box! Close it from the TASK BAR.

My only concern will be the usual lack of long/realistic length stages.

I think the average stage length is a hair under 10km. Which is 2-3 times longer than most other rally games, but not up to Mobil 1 standards. From what I've seen I think the longest stages are around 15km and the shortest are around 5-6.

Just look how long it takes and what effort have to go into to make good accurate race tracks. And those are only 3-7 km... Rally Championship had them, but I'd rather have good quality over quantity. The RC stages were long, but it the details was defintely lacking IMO. Most stages seemed pieced together by 10mx10m painted concrete slabs, which meant there was almost no roadside ditches anywhere which made a gully-effect of the roads. Almost like a lugeride sometimes, up that side, then up the other...
