Colin McRae 3 Xbox screens emerge - The masters are back
First screens cause disquiet - See what you think inside
Codemasters has released the first screens from Colin McRae Rally 3 for Xbox. The previously unannounced version (Colin 3 had previously been confirmed for PlayStation 2 and PC only) looks stunning, but has caused some amount of debate in our office.
The screens look photographic, a bone of contention that often rears its ugly head. Can a game really look this good? We are massive fans of the series and these shots, as you can imagine, have had us dribbling down our chins. The sceptics are saying that because we haven’t seen the game running, the shots are from a replay mode, and there’s no data, (speed, track, position, etc) on the screen, we shouldn’t start celebrating just yet. The rest of us ignored all that and took a look at the stats.
Codemasters is reporting that it has squeezed a massive 13,000 polygons into each car model. The backgrounds are already looking stunning, and the best bit? It’s being made by Codemasters’ Colin McRae team, the same people that created the two awesome games for the original PlayStation. Sold!
