Looking forward to this alot. Long overdue a WRC game, like F1, and RBR really was the last proper rally game.
Anyway, heres a little wishlist of mine for the game:
- Good length stages, between 3-10 minutes in length.
- Plenty of stages, if theres 13 rounds, 7 or 8 stages per round should be do-able.
- Narrow roads, old CMR games were too wide, didnt feel like a rally, narrow forest and country roads would be ace.
- TV style cam views, like the roof cam and centrally positioned TV cockpit view.
- Good tyre wear, its a huge part of rallying and never seems to get simulated.
- Stage wear, slippy and hard to go fast on gravel if your the first runner, more grip and more rutted if your the last.
- Good weather system, changing weather throughout stages, puddles, sticky mud etc.
- A good career mode, it does say huge career mode so is it too much to ask for the JWRC, PWRC and even Super 2000?
- Realistic damage system, if you clip a rock and roll into a tree, rally over, punctures, damaged suspenion, leaks etc, all the most common rally ending things should be present.
- Be able to create your own team, driver, co driver etc and be able to choose what car you run and its livery (probably a bit much to ask considering the licensing).
- Spectators are hugely important, standing close to the road, almost in the way, helping you out with minor offs etc, all adds to the rally experiance.
And for one last cool feature, small RTE events for changing tyres mid stage and so on, make it more of a challenge to get back on the road and moving.
