#COLIN MCRAE RALLY IPAD REVIEW PSP#
The engine and exhaust sounds use the continuous sweep system from DiRT and RaceDriver GRID, rather than the little loops in the original games, and crowd and other trackside ambiences use sound compiled for Colin McRae 2005 on PSP and Xbox, replacing a few short samples with minutes of varied context-sensitive audio, controlled by hundreds of overlapping trigger zones in the updated tracks. Rather than mess with critical track information or timing we deliberately stuck with the original pace notes from Colin McRae’s champion co-driver Nicky Grist. suspension sounds come from DiRT3, wind, gearbox and mechanical samples from Colin McRae Rally 2005, and garage sounds – used in the inter-stage repair screen – from RaceDriver GRID. We’ve been able to draw on the whole Codemasters audio library, from the first Colin McRae Rally to GRID 2 e.g.

In the case of the audio we’ve made case-by-case decisions about when to re-use and when to update sounds. This is an in-house development from Codemasters main Southam studio, not an externally-converted port.

We’ve had the advantage of involving members of the team who worked on the original Colin McRae Rally console and PC games, and others in the company who have moved on to other projects like DIRT and GRID but still take a proprietorial interest in Colin McRae. You can smash off the car hoods, spoilers and other bits of the car, including windows and lights, which naturally affect the way car performs at the time and in later stages. Likewise the car bodies have more detail and extra graphical layers but the same vehicle models and engine specs from the classic Rally era, with four-wheel independent physics, four-wheel and rear-wheel drive, realistic dirt, collisions, car body and chassis deformation effects.

The Answer… A lot! The graphics use modern shader-based rendering and new textures – there’s no way that PS1 graphics could cut it these days, on a Retina display – but the 30 rally stages all come from Colin McRae Rally 2.0, with every corner, obstacle and surface transition faithfully positioned just where it was in the classic original rallies. There’s no way that PS1 graphics could cut it these days on a Retina display It’s been a long time since the first Colin McRae Rally was released and while our latest iOS offering is based largely on Colin McRae Rally 2.0 it has benefited from technology implemented to many of our games since then – So what technical improvements have we made?
