SEGA Driving Studio is bringing SEGA Rally to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC next year, SEGA's announced. It'll be called "SEGA Rally Revo" in the States and SEGA Rally here - and it'll launch in both places in 2007.
Promising "vibrant next generation graphics, intuitive controls, competitive bumper-to-bumper racing and fully reactive environments," SEGA Rally will feature a range of 4WD, 2WD and Classic vehicles that react "quite differently" depending on the racing surface.
The environment and surfaces will be fully deformable, scattering gravel or snow as you zoom on through the looping tracks - in a similar manner to the stuff Sony's been shouting about in Evolution Studios' PS3 title MotorStorm.
SEGA's also playing up the strength of the AI, which will adapt its driving to the racing surface, and says that the game will include a full suite of single and multiplayer options including split-screen and online racing.
"The rally genre has become the domain of ultra realistic simulation based titles that portray the sport in minute detail but offer little in terms of fun," says Guy Wilday, studio director. "With the emphasis being on entertainment, SEGA Rally will focus on delivering an adrenaline fuelled competitive racing experience but without over-complicating the rally experience."
We should see it at E3. Expect more from SEGA tomorrow at 8am - having already World Snooker Championship/Challenge 2007, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz for (sigh) Nintendo Wii, and Virtua Tennis 3.

I went back and jammed the original Sega Rally into my Saturn last night out of interest after reading the news about this.
Blocky graphics, dreadful sounds, corny music, few tracks.......... .....but still one of the most fun driving games ever. Fast and exciting and arcadey enough to be simply pick-up-and-play whenever you feel like it. I just hope the new one keeps that feeling and doesn't try to be ultra-technical and twitchy. If people want that they can grab numerous other WRC games, and this can be the thing it ever was. |

@Blerk : Sorry - it just proves I am smarter than almost everyone else here! ;-)
@Rushy: I agree - accurate simulation and FUN don't have to be mutually exclusive - I don't understand people who have this idea. That said, though WRC games remain my favorite, they are hardly close to the levels of simulation some other games achieve. But still, I think an ideal game is all about striking a good balance.

Are we(no pun intended) still getting SEGA Rally 2006 on the PS2?
Maybe/hopefully E3 may turn up some info on it. |

Xiphos, it's because AM2 don't do Console/PC arcade conversions anymore. It happened with the SEGA/Sammy merger, the closest game we'll have (I hope) is "SEGA Rally 2006", which contains the emulated Model 2A CRX SEGA Rally Championship and 2006.
But if you want a "to the letter" rally simulation Richard Burns Rally is the best ever made (and bloody hard). |
