Just read in Rally XS that a new Rally game for PS2 is due out in September.

Called World Rally Championship 2001.

The preview screen shots look good and you can actually go over the cliffs if you get it wrong.

It's being developed by a chap called Martin Kenwright of Evolution Studios working closely with ISC ( Dave Richards ).

 

Some of the PS2 mags are quoting release dates of April/May......not sure which is correct.
All screenshots I've seen look very promising just hope it handles as well.

 

Anybody know the official release date for Gran Turismo 3 yet ???
Can only play ssx snowboarding and midnight club for so long! No other decent games out either!

 

Yeah, the in-game terrain is created procedurally, and the cars deform in real time.

The guy who's doing it used to write some of the best flight sims on the plantet at DID - EF2000, etc...

Looks promising - and the bloke is an EVO driver too, so he gets my vote!

GT3 - Official release dates:

Japan - Feb 15
US - ?
UK - ?

No sign of a working mod-chip to play the import on - this sucks!

Dave Richards was on Eurosport a few nights ago, he mentioned this game as part of his plans for the World Rally Championship TV coverage.
