Europresses new rally game coming out in 1998 in England

It should be out this fall, not in 1998. Hopefully it will follow-up and improve on all of the great features of Rally Championship. One of the most exciting things is that it will come packaged with a track editor!!! I can't wait!

Will it still use that ***game engine used by Rally Champs, or will we have true freedom this time? -- Dave Bowers

Well, I just read at www.pcme.com that *** USA has relased IORR, International Off Road Racing. This is what we in Europe bought as Network Q RAC Rally last year. From what I could see it is exactly the same game. Hopefully we in Europe will get version two because they can't possibly sell this same stuff to us again. It isn't even 3DFX enhanced. Poor US customers... This sim is kind of fun but it's gettingg old! And calling it "Off Road" !?!?!? The single most important complaint about this game was the lack of driving off the road. You always just bounce back against an invisible wall... I can't understand why PCME didn't even bother to mention the age of this racing game... /Michael

Actually, you cannot tell anything about the "engine" from the screenshots re: your earlier complaint. The "invisible walls" annoyance from the original RC hopefully will be gone in the new one, but that has nothing to do with the sim "engine"--it is simply a programming decision/compromise. The substantially wider tracks available in X-Miles, which uses the same RC "engine" demonstrates my point.

Well, it looks as though there's a true 3D environment, but I am wary, and I'm also bracing myself for a disappointment. -- Dave Bowers
