WRC 3 - PS Vita. Did anyone even know?

[SupraGaz]

I was just browsing Vita gameplay on youtube (as you do) and came across WRC3?!
I new it was released for the PS3/360 and PC but had no idea it made it to the Vita.
I quite liked the demo for WRC3 for PS3 so thinking of picking this up.

For anyone who wants some footage, this isnt bad:



But there is quite afew more on youtube.

Has anyone bought this?

Cheers

I have it on PS3 and it's one of my favourite rally games ever, alongside the PS2 WRC game series. Not a fan of how the career mode was done this time, but overall a very addictive and fun rally game.

I have heard though the the Vita version is the same but heavily watered down (half the stages, although there are a huge amount of stages in the PS3 version, and I don't think there's a career mode but not 100%)

I'd personally still pay between £15 to £20 just to have WRC 3 on my Vita as well.

Thanks for the heads up mate, I too read they'd cut back on the amount of stages but to be fair, there was a heck of a lot in the last WRC game I played so I'm not too fussed about that if everything else is still in there.

The graphics look decent, the playability of it in the vid looks good, other vids show there is still the in car view for the vita as well as customisation for the sussy, gear ratios etc before a stage. Your price point is what I think I'll wait for but I'm just happy to know its out there considering its been released some time now and I didnt even know about it.

I've seen it for £27.99 but will hold out for a drop as I've already seen the PS3/360 version for £17.99

Glad to know WRC3 is alright for the console too, I may pick it up

Cheers

That looked AMAZING!! I hope it has enough content in the game, and some online modes. WOW that looked impressive.

[SupraGaz]

Hopefully could be picking it up today. Going to town to try and find some deals

I can't find this in the US!!!!!! I'll convert one of my Vitas to a EUR account if I have to lol. That game looks some fun to have. It looks like it's been out since Oct. 26th.

A shame this game wasnt released in the US

Why do that? Just import it man, less hassle

I'll go check if they have it here at my local game store.

EDIT: I just came back with this

[F34R]

If I order this from amazon.co.uk, it'll be a different region other than US, will it work in my US vita?

Let me see, oh yes it works on my US Vita here so you'll be fine for sure

[SupraGaz]

The games are region free, however if you wanted the DLC F34R I think this is region locked to specific stores like EU/US.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking lol. I didn't clarify that in my post. My bad, and thanks for the info. That's why I'd have to use a Vita on EUR store for imported games. I'll go research the possibility that the game might be coming to the US.

For anyone on the fence about this I highly recommend it. Obviously similar to other WRC games so if you like the open road, screaming engines with exhaust pops/bangs/flames, yourself on a course and listening to the co pilot, go for it.

Haven't tried multiplayer yet but the single player experience is spot on. Cars handle well and are nice and responsive. Load times seem to be minimal and it's a great pick up and play for short bursts and lengthy sessions
I got it for Christmas and really pleased with it.

In the UK, you can get it for £20 from CEX...

[radgamer420]

Just another example of Sony giving the US the cold shoulder.

Funny enough, we asked for a copy of this game to review and didn't get one. Seems the publishers didn't even want people to know about it. Very strange.

[SupraGaz]

Well that sucks!
Been on it for around 5-6 hours today and it's great fun

I've had it since release and completed career 100%, I still go back to it and play it, very addictive and fun

I bought it earlier, but I'm struggling to find a career mode on it. It was called 'Road to Glory' on PS3 WRC 2. :S
