Another year, another McRae game bound for Xbox and PS2

14:00 Bound for release in Autumn of this year, the biggest name in Rally games is set to return for both Xbox and PS2, complete with several new modes...
Fans can look forward to the Career Challenge, a multi-event based mode where up to eight players can rally head-to-head online. 20 different classes of event wait to challenge you, across several cups, shields and championships, that upon completion will elevate your rank to face only the best.

300 plus stages and 30 plus cars are available including the Alfetta GTV Turbodelta,
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII, Peugeot 206, 205 T16 Evo2 and the distinguished VW Beetle RSiwith 4WD, 2WD, 4-wheel classics, 2 wheelers, rear-wheel and well... You get the picture.

Realism-loving petrol sniffers will also be able to view races via the amazing 'bonnet cam', with a newly enhanced graphical engine and atmospheric FX to look forward to as well - including punch-drunk daze effects for when you crash your car.

Till we get more info, enjoy the screens.

Hrm. No PC version?

The PC version probably comes out a few months later.
Just like with CMR4.

There was once a time when i actually cared and would have jumped up and down with excitement at the prospect of another CMR game. But after the last two abysmal titles in the franchise the whole thing just reeks of a cash in to me.
The more numbers they stick on the end of cmr the more the quality drops , end of discussion.

well it comes with a new rally (germany) and over 300 stages aparently with online play on ps2 and xbox according to http://www.codemasters.co.uk/colinmcrae2005/

Tifa · 29-04-2004, 08:13 PM

Don't care if it has 30000000000000 stages , if the cars handle as childish as the previous 2 installments i won't drive one of them... and considering the press releases are aiming at Xbox and PS2 you can almost guarantee the handling is going to be as babyish as ever.

They just need to get out of the pivot handling system.
And actually do it now,instead of making false promises.
RFT sayd once,i believe,the risk of changing the handling system would be too big,but i think we could all use another challenge.
And more realistic too.

Considering that CMR4 is brand new and CMR5 is being released not 8 months later with 300 stages i really wouldn't hold youre breath that Codemasters are doing any work in the handling department whatsoever. In actual fact i dont think Codemasters are doing any work full stop.
