Colin McRae Rally 2005

Codemasters announces McRae's drive of the year with Colin McRae Rally 2005 is the press release revealing plans for Colin McRae Rally 2005, the fifth installment in the rally racing series, slated for release this fall for the Xbox and PS2. There is no mention in the announcement of plans for a PC version, though it should be noted that the announcement of Colin McRae Rally 04 (story) likewise did not mention a PC version, which was revealed several months later (story), and the PC version of Colin McRae 3 likewise was announced after the console versions were released (story). Here's a bit from the pre-announcement of the game, which will be officially unveiled at E3:
With its perfect car handling, superbly designed stages, and progressive events, Colin McRae Rally 2005 is set to be the most complete and rewarding rally experience when it launches this autumn for PlayStation 2 and Xbox, with online multiplayer rallying on both formats.

You guys are missing the point. They're not trying to mimic the human eye, they're trying to mimic TV.

I don't know what gave you the impression that we don't get that, Elmo, given the discussion we've been having in here on that very subject..

I suppose that's how most people are accustomed to watching auto racing, so it makes a certain amount of sense.

Outside of replays, it makes no sense at all. The game involves actually playing the part of the driver, FFS!! The first time someone wants to craft a 'sit-on-the-couch-watching-rally-coverage' simulator, these DOF effects will be expected and welcomed (so long as they make it perfectly clear that I am viewing their world through the lens of a camera, and why).

As I said earlier -- DOF effects have no place in the game unless these screens are depicting the replays (which they appear to be doing. I'm still just ranting, BTW - it seems as though we all agree about this stuff).

Let's not get me going on lensflares.. those are extra stupid

The dactylic pentameter consists of too [sic] parts separated by a diaeresis. Each part consists of to [sic] dactyls and a long syllable. The spondee may take the place of the dactyl in the first part, but not in tEh [sic] second... -Harkness.

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now, even though you broke my heart and killed me.
