Thread: Colin 4 cancelled for US PS2/PC (still coming on xbox tho)

  1. Colin 4 cancelled for US (still coming on xbox tho)

    well thats crap.....

    January 29, 2004 - Breaking from tradition (and perhaps common sense) Codemasters has declined to bring the fourth iteration of its flagship racing game, Colin McRae Rally 4, to the PC or PS2 in North America, IGN learned today.



    Already available in Europe on all three systems (PS2, PC and Xbox), Colin McRae Rally 4 outperforms its predecessor with more modes of play, more cars to play, a better collision system and an even more enhanced physics system (though it's hard to see how it could be any better).

    When IGN contacted Codemasters, a company representative explained that Microsoft did not persuade the veteran English developer to jump the PC and PS2 in North America. Instead, Codemasters explained that Xbox Live was the perfect fit with its online design. Which makes little sense at all. Especially given that the game is already online in Europe for the PC. And the US Xbox version isn't even actually playable online, it just updates stats via Xbox Live.

    We'll have more on Colin McRae Rally 4 in the near future, maybe.

  2. Damn it, that's a really misleading thread title Anyway, this is absolutely no problem to me, as long as the Xbox version is still coming. I much prefer my racers on the 'Box controller anyway.


  3. I wanted it on ps2 just to keep with continuity and all, but fuck that If I can play it on live...

    ...but the article says that Live's just for stats, not for play.

  5. I hate life...


  6. I was worried for a second... but I was going to get the XB version anyway so I don't care.
    You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

    I never really gave the Colin McRae games a try, beyond a demo I'd mess around with and not really get much from. I'd like to do that. Sega GT Online, though... well, at least in-game voice chat is always entertaining, you can bet the game won't.

  8. There, I fixed up that misleading thread title.
