Milestone have announced the details of their upcoming Vita version of WRC 3: FIA World Rally Championship as well as shared some screenshots of the build. The portable version will include all 54 official teams of the current season, the WRC Experience game mode featuring Single Stage, Single Rally, and 2012 Championship, an online gameplay mode, 6 different rallies (Rallye Monte-Carlo, Rallye de France - Alsace, RallyRACC-Rally de Espana, Acropolis Rally, ADAC Rallye Deutschland and Wales Rally GB), 3 official categories (WRC, WRC 2 and WRC 3) with 11 official cars, and free DLC after launch giving you three additional rallies (Rally Guanajuato Mexico, Philips Rally Argentina and Vodafone Rally de Portugal). The game will launch October 26th in Europe, with a North American release yet to be announced.

What's particularly interesting here is that both games were developed by the same team – Milestone. Of course Milestone have since lost the WRC license to Kylotonn Games but don't rule them out bidding for it back in the future."
YouTube's member 'nfsking2000' has created an interesting tribute to rally games, in which we get to see the actual evolution of this genre from its MS-DOS days to its current-gen ones.
awesome!!! thanks for making me realize how disgusting this gen was as far as rally games go...
colin mcrae's
richard burns's
WRC's
topgear n64

WRC this gen stuck to its roots even though milestone took over they really improved and i cant wait for WRC4 on the VITA <---- now thats evolution : )
The last great rally game was Colin McRae Rally 2005. Everything after that, went towards the arcade racer market. Now that being said, due to where I live I have never been able to play the WRC series.
Richard Burns Rally is still considered the best rally game ever made by many hardcore rally game fans.
If Milestone could tune its car handling model and polish its visual output, the next version of WRC could help us forget that Codemasters has abandoned the world’s most mesmerizing motorsport.
Impressive visuals
Finally something of the Vita version.. no footage tho? :(
looks like ps2 or xbox 1 game .. i'm really dispointed no specular shader no bump-maps no anti-aliasing ....
does anyone know if the psvita version will support online multiplayer? if so how many players?
Hell yes I been waiting for good Rally Racing game on handheld now it finally will come.
