miker_CLO Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Good News - September Release! PlayStation 2 | Xbox | Late September 2003 www.codemasters.com/colinmcrae04 Hi all, Just a little announcement about the upcoming Colin Mcrae Rally 04 game for PS2 and Xbox. Check out the latest info and screens at the new website www.codemasters.com/colinmcrae04 "It's the rally game reinvented by the people who invented the rally game and you're getting it sooner than you think: Colin McRae Rally 04 will launch late September for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. The September launch is not the only surprise Codemasters has lined up. The engine that drives the series' sublime car handling has been enhanced to a new level of detail. Previously the car handling employed a steering aid, which had the effect of making the car move around a central pivot point. Now the aid?s been removed, effectively taking the stabilisers off, providing for a more professional, realistic and natural handling experience and you'll notice the difference, especially when performing skids and powerslides. We've also increased the number of terrain surface types from 20 to 34, and tyre types from 10 to 19, to ensure the handling on different surfaces and weather conditions is more accurate than ever before. Creating a new playing experience for the 6-million-selling series' fans, the high-end handling is beautifully balanced with the game's rally stages. Maximising the rally gaming experience that tests both the cars and the player's rallying skills, Colin McRae Rally 04 is set to be the rally event of the year when its published by Codemasters for PlayStation 2 and Xbox in late September. Stay in the driving seat with all the latest on the game at the new website found at www.codemasters.com/colinmcrae04 " Screenshots can be downloaded at www.codemasters.com/colinmcrae04 COLIN McRAE RALLY 04 KEY POINTS ? Choose from over 20 rally cars and compete in 8 game modes including 4-wheel drive, 2-wheel drive, Group B and Expert championpionships (with single and multiplayer options). ?

The only way i play CMR3 is with the Mitsubishi EVO and i just play the stages on my own trying to beat my lap times. *the site doesnt have a PC release... please tell me its gonna come out on PC too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
