Posted September 12, 2007 As with all such things, the key to making a good rally game is wedged in the door marked 'pub'. "You sit late in bars with drivers and co-drivers talking about how these things work," says SEGA Racing Studio boss Guy Wilday. Then you go home and do some programming. So what do rally drivers say? "It's all about tyres, and it's all about surfaces. That really is a key topic of conversation. The cars themselves are obviously very technically innovative, but the thing they focus on is the tyres and the surfaces - what tyres they need for a particular surface, how a car is going to behave on a particular surface, and how that surface is going to change."

Only that I hopes to the high heavens we have Wi-Fi in our new house by the 28th. Disclosure: I rolled V-Rally as a kid I have two questions: DO YOU LIKE THE LOOK OF THIS VIDEO GAME and ARE YOU GOING TO BUY THIS VIDEO GAME. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2007 With PGR4 as my "Holiday season racer" and completed DiRT i have no want for this game. It will not and cannot touch the original Saturn game, thus it will fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 12, 2007 I played this game and IMO Dirt is better. To many great games coming out this side of Christmas anywayz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2007 I don't like the racing games like PGR or Forza, yet I loved DiRT, so I'm gonna go with the rally game again. Looking forward to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 12, 2007 It does look good, but I do have DiRT already, and I've pre ordered my 4 games for the year, and I'll be too busy with driving a real car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 12, 2007 It's out 28th September! I prefer fast Arcade type racers to simulations (although i loved PGR3), so i'm interested in this. Although it could look a little bit better in my opinion. Although i haven't seen up-to-date vids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 15, 2007 I'm looking forward to this but there are other games I want more. I will probably get it when its cheap and there isn't anything coming out for a while.

Posted September 17, 2007 9/10 on Eurogamer, says it's the freshest racer since Burnout 2! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 17, 2007 Just played the demo, it's alright and the mud going all over your car is some nice eye candy but the game seems a bit plastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 17, 2007 Played demo. Big meh. Graphics look like Excite Truck. Handling feels weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 17, 2007 Also, one thing I don't get - Why is it Sega Rally, if its laps of a track, not an A-B? I hope theres Point to point in the full version. Bit of variety like DiRT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 17, 2007 Played demo. Big meh. Graphics look like Excite Truck. Handling feels weird. I'm guessing you played the demo on a SDTV then, as I think it looks completely average if it's on lower resolutions..............but in 720p looks quite stunning. Also, one thing I don't get - Why is it Sega Rally, if its laps of a track, not an A-B? I hope theres Point to point in the full version. There's no point to point races in the game, all lap based. Seriously though, the more you play the demo and get into the handling then the more you'll like the game. Demo is really limited though, and they really should have put one of the Alpine tracks in. The track choices for the demo though would have come down to having the opportunity to show off the track deformation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
