Codemasters has released the first screens of Colin McRae 3 for PC and do they ever look tasty. Utilising code from the Xbox, the level of detail and intricacy is truly fantastic, though we reckon the aliasing needs a bit of attention.
Also, now that the code is taken from Xbox, the problems encountered with the last PC version of Colin should be avoided. As you may remember, to get a decent level of performance out of the PlayStation-ported Colin McRae Rally 2.0, a NASA-grade super computer, a time machine and a trip to nVidia in 2007 was required. Well, almost.
Expect networked rally havoc this summer. We’ll let you know soon about online play facilities.
