Rally Championship 99

Hi, Anyone know of a site with more information on this game ? Some screen shots are on this months PC Gamer. Incredible is not the word. The car detail (Corolla WRC) and 16-bit textures make Colin McRae look almost Cartoony in appearance. Check out the Mag now !

Jason, It's another Magnetic Fields, Europress offering (based on the British Rally Championship). Don't know about MAgnetic Fields, but Europress is www.europress.com? or co.uk.

co.uk ;-) Isn't this Tommi Makinen Rally ? Wasn't this title already out on the Playstation early this year ? I know that Europress has bought a license from the FIM (for a Motocross World Championship game). It's the only new news I've heard.. any PR about RC99 ? - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard! - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Sponsored by http://www.awpss.com/ on the NROS - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

They just finished an absolutely horrible rally game for the Playstation that came out at the same time as CMR. Hopefully they've improved the physics a lot from the previous IRC and RAC games. Coming screeching to a halt 5 times quicker just by throwing the car sideways was a real glaring fault, as was the lack of trailing throttle oversteer, the invisible walls everywhere, the dismal collision routines etc. etc. Beware, it was pretty to look at, but a sim it wasn't. Don't be fooled by the box art on this one either.

Francois, i think Tommi Makinen was PSX-only, and based on the International Rally Champ for PC- ? :) Rally 99 according to Ultamite PC which arrived on my desk this afternoon is based on 6 rallys from the British Rally Championship. It maybe Dual format, but that is not mentioned. hmm, but some of the effects are quite arcade racer, according to what i'm reading now. (don't ask me to type it out... i'm too ***y tired) maybe tomorrow. Z.
