Title: WRC 2001 New Pictures For You :0)
Post by: StAnZo on April 09, 2001, 08:44:41 AM: Yep, as some of you may know, I\'m a big rally fan. I love the soft focus in the distance on these pictures.
I also think that that texturing on the last picture (lower left corner) looks rather sweet. Lets have it!

I\'m kidding.....it\'s really my car. ;) I\'ve autocrossed but I have not rallied competetively. I have gone sideways around gravel roads! Wow! What a feeling!
Title: ooh nooo
Post by: kirath on April 09, 2001, 09:12:30 AM: Not another Subie owner....!!!

I have to work with two of them already... J/k

But that is a nice car, 2.5 RS

Everyone keeps trying to talk me into buying a WRX, but I really want a Audi S4. I know the WRX is a lot cheaper, but the Audi\'s are sooooo nice looking....

Where are you from and are you on [ i-club.com ] ..???

Just wondering..

peace

Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on April 09, 2001, 09:20:06 AM: My God, nice car... I can see it´s a Subaru... but what model?
Title: WRC 2001 New Pictures For You :0)
Post by: GmanJoe on April 09, 2001, 09:49:45 AM: Thanks! That is an Impreza RS.

And yes, I do hang out at the i-club. I go by Snoopy.

The WRX would run circles around the Audi S4 except in the straights. :D
Title: WRC 2001 New Pictures For You :0)
Post by: StAnZo on April 09, 2001, 10:19:43 AM: Yup, sure is a nice car, my brother took me out in a 280Bhp WRX and my underwear was history :0)

I know a few people on that board like, NUrsalia, and Fishguy and dood...

So yeah... Thats cool... The 2.5 RS is a nice car, I like what you did with yours, looks nice. At least you did not put a picnic Table on the back like a few people did... HA HA

Nice photography. Did you take this image yourself? What camera and lense did you use? I\'m not much of a car freak, but I dig photography. Still, nice wheels.

Those who are looking for the definite rally game should really look out for this one. When the coders were finished with the physics modelling they noticed they\'d done too good of a job and really achieved the real feeling of a racing car, rendering the game unplayable to all but those who really know how to drive a rally car or those who can invest insane amounts of time into the game. They\'re refining it so everyone can enjoy the game, but are adding the authentic rally-feel-mode-thingy into the final game for those who really want to try out racing without risking fatal injury after dropping off a 100 foot cliff. Yeah I read this from EDGE so the credit goes to them... :)

Post by: ddaryl on April 09, 2001, 02:54:35 PM: when\'s the game coming out. hopefully it\'ll support the GT3 wheel
Title: WRC 2001 New Pictures For You :0)
Post by: THE EYE on April 09, 2001, 03:31:24 PM: Yeah... it would be very nice driftin´ with the wheel !!! :D

BTW kirath: Buy an ALFA ROMEO !!! :D :D :D

BTW: Did you guys notice, that there are "only" two cars raceing on the wet tracks in GT3 !!!!!
Maybe this is the cost for all those FX...
...hmmm... IMO we will see more cars on those tracks in GT4 !!! :D

Actually, a friend took the picture. He used a Sony digicam which cost like a $1000 or so. It was a partly cloudy day so the silver looked perfect. :D If it was completely sunny and the sun was directly above us, it would have looked gray.

Post by: nO-One on April 09, 2001, 04:10:00 PM: Well everybody\'s showing off their cars.
This is my fathers new jeep,it\'s actually a model 2000,highly modified.We Icelanders are quite famous for modding our jeeps so we can drive over all dem glaciers :)

Title: WRC 2001 New Pictures For You :0)
Post by: StAnZo on April 09, 2001, 11:33:34 PM: I\'m not sure MD, it will be released over here in the UK first. I will be picking it up ASA and i\'ll post my impressions
Title: WRC 2001 New Pictures For You :0)
Post by: THE EYE on April 09, 2001, 11:47:24 PM: WHAT UK FIRST ?!!!!!!!
Great News, then it will be released in Germany also at this time !!!

Post by: MeTaL=DeaTh on April 10, 2001, 06:01:45 PM: ok StAnZo,i\'ll be waiting for your thoughts...do you know if this has auto-damage in the game?
Title: WRC 2001 New Pictures For You :0)
Post by: StAnZo on April 11, 2001, 12:46:33 AM: I do know that they are trying to get this game to feel like a television broadcast, based on Eurosport\'s Rally
coverage, which will be awesome IMHO. As far as damage is concerned there are no boundaries or invisible
walls to be heard of. The producers of the game say if you drive off a cliff that\'s it, End of rally. The cars carry
realistic damage visibly and control of the car changes. There should be engine and gearbox faliures and all the
other problems that go with racing a WRC. All in all this is going to own me bigtime.

Post by: StAnZo on April 11, 2001, 01:04:36 AM: Mmmm some more WRC 2001 Goodness for you...

Check out these comparisons of rally locations in real life and as they appear in Evolution\'s WRC 2001.

On one side you have a photo of a real-life rally location, on the other you have a screenshot taken
from Evolution\'s forthcoming World Rally Championship 2001. Can you spot the difference? It\'s not
quite as easy as you might think.

The eight locations shown are Cyprus, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and Sweden,
although we understand that at least 14 countries including Australia, Kenya and Great Britain will
also be appearing in the game. We look forward to bringing you more on World Rally Championship 2001
in the not too distant future.

Post by: Knotter8 on April 11, 2001, 04:55:14 AM: OMG :nut: This is insane, and to think were getting
it here in Europe first as well as the Getaway, wow!
I think those Europe based studio\'s like Soho rock bigtime.
This is absolutely a game to shut up those naysayers
PS2 can\'t do textures or videogamehaters in general who say computergraphics won\'t ever come close to the
real thing !( yeah I know alot of ppl like that, unfortunately) Booyah to those F*ckers ! HAHAAHAA!

Post by: GmanJoe on April 12, 2001, 04:56:50 AM: I can\'t believe I prefer the PS2 pics over the real ones!

Good grief! That\'s too real! Now if the game plays better than GT3\'s Rally mode......all is good.

Post by: JP on April 12, 2001, 05:36:35 AM: I\'ll buy it if it plays anything like Colin McRae but that\'s going to be tough....
Colin McRae 2.0 is the best rally game ever
Looks nice though

IMHO Colin Mcrae rally 2 was pants. if you get a chance to play Digital Illusions \'Rally Masters\' on PC then do so.
This has the best physics IMHO of a rally game, Try it. You\'ll love it

Cant wait to see how Colin M. 3 will look!

Post by: JP on April 12, 2001, 03:03:57 PM: I tried Rally Masters and I thought it was ok but nothing like Colin McRae, not even close!
And it\'s gotten better reviews than Rally Masters by gamers and rally drivers.
I was very disappointed with Rally Masters indeed...
Colin McRae just feels right, I don\'t care if it doesn\'t have the most accurate physics as long as it feels better playing it...
The car control just feels brilliant and it looks gorgeous too :D
Well that\'s my take on it anyway

Post by: GmanJoe on April 13, 2001, 04:45:45 AM: I just wanted to let you guys know that I\'m a better driver than Colin McRae, Richard Burns, Juha Kankunen, Tommi Makinen, Marcus Gronholm and Carlos Sainz! :D

And those of you who prefer NASCAR - puhleez....that is one boring race. Left turns all day long? No braking? You should call it NAPcar. NASCAR drivers would get confused and lost if they raced in a Formula 1 style race circuit course.

"Hey, Rosco! Was I supposed to make a right turn at that....uh....shee-kane? My car don\'t make right turns!"

Where did you come to the conclusion that you were a better driver than all these top WRC drivers?
