VVV: "What's troubling, however, is that the number of available cars is significantly lower than WRC 3 according to the list. While all the cars in this year's season are included, there's no mention of the various Group B and classic rally cars that could be driven in WRC 2 and WRC 3, such as the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo, Lancia Delta and Toyota Celica Turbo."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."
The only good news to report is Tokyo New World Record: Operation Abyss will be released, but the game has been delayed from its planned January 23 launch. No news about Skullgirls Encore and Cyberfront published the original PS3 version in Japan.
VVV: "It may lack innovation thanks to its mostly incremental improvements, but the restructured career, polished presentation, refined handling, vastly improved audio design and time of day changes all accumulate to make WRC 4 Milestone's most accomplished rally simulation yet.
... just to nickel-and-dime us shortly after launch by releasing it as DLC.
Game looks decent so far, in terms of tracks and gameplay. Graphics meh, but we already expect that from the series.
Pretty sure the Vita version of WRC3 didn't have the Group B cars anyway.
Still, hope the Vita version of WRC4 does have more than this year's official cars seen as I don't really like any of them.
Give me Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 and I'll be happy.
