Infogrames has announced that it will be released V-Rally 3 for the GameCube and Xbox in 2003. The popular racing game will see a European GameCube release in June and the Xbox version hits the shelves a bit earlier in April.
After last summer's successful PlayStation 2 release of the greatest V-Rally yet with V-Rally 3, Eden Studios has gone back in to the development studio to work on the Xbox release. Utilising the unique technological architecture of the Xbox, they have produced two real innovations to make V-Rally 3 on the Xbox a much different and refined experience than that of its PlayStation 2 counterpart. Firstly, dynamics have been improved to produce more sensitive and responsive handling; easier yet still simulation oriented.
Secondly, Eden Studios have totally overhauled and refined the in-game special effects. "V-Rally 3 on Xbox is not a lazy port of the PlayStation 2 version. The great work done on the handling and the in-game special effects gives VRally 3 its own distinctive identity on Xbox and is a great way to introduce this legendary racing franchise on to a great console." said Larry Sparks, Vice President of European Marketing.
