WRC 6 is set to arrive in the hands of players across the globe next month. It’s been a quiet summer, with our last serious look at the game being from Team VVV during its initial reveal at E3 2016. With the release inching closer, a new trailer has surfaced showing off more aspects of the game.
Lasting 60 seconds, the video presents a good deal of tracks we’ll be able to race on. As usual, special stages mimicking Gymkhana-styled levels of interaction with the car are going to be most curious segments for testing our skills. We’re curious to see how well they are going to be implemented.
As we reported earlier this summer, WRC 6 is being directed under the eye of French developer Kylotonn Racing Games. The major emphasis has been put on addressing comments and feedback from the community about last year’s WRC 5. For instance, 95% of the exhaust samples have been reworked for a more realistic effect. Locations are also going to be revised, with great care given to capture more realistic lengths and — crucially — widths of the tracks. Of course, more can be expected.
The 2016 season calendar will feature 14 events including Rally China, a first for the series. Players can also expect popular WRC drivers as well as access to the Junior WRC category.
WRC 6 will be released to the public this October. It will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Keep following GTPlanet for more news related to range game.
These guys idea of fixing issues with audio was to just cut the entire audio out, instead of acutally bothering to fix it, if wrc5 is anything to go by this will be another half baked game.
How can you say “These guys idea of fixing issues with audio was to just cut the entire audio out…” this is only their second WRC title – Milestone did the previous four.
I think it looks pretty good and I like the engine sounds. Obviously very arcadey compared to Dirt Rally but as a standalone product looks promising. I look forward to trying the demo when it arrives.
Will this game be worth getting if I already have Dirt Rally? I’m not a huge rally fan (more circuit racing) but I enjoyed Dirt Rally for a while.
Probably not, Kylotonn are a hopeless dev which showed in the god awful WRC 5 last year. Considering they’ve had only one year to make a better game, I wouldn’t expect this one to be any better.
Likely they’ve only added a little extra content and made the graphics and sounds slightly better, but I would be willing to bet the bugs and issues from last year remain, and the dreadful physics won’t be any better either.
If you enjoyed Dirt Rally, and want another great rally game on Dirt’s level, get Seb Loeb Rally Evo, it’s a brilliant rally game, and it excels in different areas to dirt, so the two games co-exist very well.
WRC 6, like 5, will be 100% arcade rubbish. Like Need for Speed on gravel, but with less cars and poor graphics.
Some of those super special stages remind me of the WRC3 Milestone ones, in feeling, at least.
Some nice tight (read scary looking) stage sections in there too.
