Op Gamespy Daily kunnen we lezen dat Colin McRae Rally 3 nu officieel aangekondigd is. Uiteraard hadden we ook wel kunnen raden dat Codemasters deze succesformule door zou zetten. De game biedt alles wat de vorige delen ook boden, alleen dan net alles een stukje beter.

Er is nu ook weer goed samengewerkt met het Ford WRC team en Colin McRae en zijn maatje Nicky Grist.

Detailed information and data from rally car technicians is being used to redefine the in-game car physics. These improvements will be seen in the game in the overall handling, the changes to the performance for different set-ups and how damage will effect various parts and car control. Rallying is a thoroughly immersive and tense motor sport and this level of car detail is designed to bring players even closer to the whole experience."Graphically, the in-game Ford Focus RS WRC will be over 16 times more detailed than the model in Colin McRae Rally 2.0. The polygon count for the Focus model is up to a staggering 13,000, as compared to about 800 for the previous game." Explains Rick Nath, the game's A ociate Producer. "Working at this level means we'll be effectively giving players a real Focus to rally, making the gameplay so much richer. We can fully detail the car's interior, its engine bays and the cha is detail. We're also working on suspension and a more realistic damage engine with opening and detachable panels, doors, tailgates, bonnets, bumpers, and windows."Zoals je kan zien is er ook al wat artwork beschikbaar, hiervoor surf je naar deze site, en voor het hele persverhaaltje klik je hier.
