Milestone has revealed first details for the official game of the 2012 FIA World Rally Championship, WRC 3. It will use new graphics and game engine (Spikengine), and is scheduled for release in October 2012 on PlayStation 3, Xbox360, Windows PC and PlayStation Vita. First screenshots and press release are below.
WRC 3 features all the rallies in the 2012 WRC calendar, complete with all leading WRC teams and drivers in the revamped career mode. WRC 3 also features a brand new graphics engine, called Spikengine, allowing Milestone to accurately model lighting, particle effects and other real-world characteristics to create an in-game virtual reality, offering complete immersion in the WRC universe. The cars themselves showcase new modelling techniques - they have never looked as life-like, or handled as realistically, as in WRC 3. Milestone has streamlined every aspect of the game to allow new players instant gameplay satisfaction, while still allowing experienced rally gamers to explore the game’s full range of features and drive a WRC car from the comfort of their own home.
As well as all this, the game has improved crowd effects, rebuilt stages and new cinematic introductions to each stage. WRC 3 features more than 50 official WRC teams, alongside Class 2 and Class 3 series. WRC 3 also offers amazing Super Special Stages.
Developed by Milestone, a renowned and established Italian software developer specialized in racing games, and published by Black Bean Games, WRC 3 is scheduled for release in October 2012 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC, PlayStation®3 and PlayStation Vita®.

we must waited for shot of cars cuz this is a rally not anymore.
but yeah. it's the tracks that let it down most. they just felt claustraphobic. far too many reverse versions of tracks too. it all feels a bit souless. evolution need to get back the licence. they did it MUCH better.
but as i said. it's not like we have any real alternatives to this atm.
