GroupB.live (2021) - Every PC Rally Game
10GroupB.live by Celera Studio, 2021.
This is a concept build of a little-known but wildly optimistic project to recreate the entire classic Group B rally era with full length rally stages, built by a small Spanish team. This concept build can be downloaded from groupb.live, where you can also see some videos of the team driving it better than me(!) and some clips of upgraded graphics from early in 2023.
The site has an entire investment presentation, spelling out their lofty goals.
Whilst this demo gives a flavour of what to expect, I have a simple criticism here: if you're launching a project about some of the hardest-to-drive, dramatically fast rally cars ever, making a demo with two narrow Monte Carlo rally stages full of snow and ice, set in dense fog, with no co-driver to help you, is possibly not the most accessible way to demo the game... it's rather hard!
Everything is WIP in the demo; graphics, handling, sound, damage... there doesn't appear to be a timer and the replay feature seems to only semi-work when it wants to! The handbrake appears to just slam on the brakes and lock all the wheels, there's no idling engine noise and damage only really occurs if you hit walls/trees, rather than go all over the place off-road.
But there's such potential here, if the team was bigger, maybe if it was promoted more, perhaps if they even just focused on one rally to start with, and grew the project over time... who knows, maybe this will turn into something bigger, or perhaps it'll not get much further. I wish them luck!
