2006-04-28 09:07:00 Sega announces Sega Rally Revo for PS3/Xbox 360

http://www.sega.com/e3/2006/announcements_tp.php?i...

SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced SEGA RALLY™ REVO. This genre-defining competitive racing game will be the first title developed by the newly-formed SEGA Driving Studio, and will be racing onto the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360™, and PC in 2007.

With revolutionary dynamically deformable terrain, proprietary next-generation graphics, bone-jarringly realistic physics, and competitive bumper-to-bumper racing, SEGA RALLY REVO will set a new benchmark in its genre with a high-tempo driving experience that is every racing fan's driving fantasy.

"SEGA RALLY REVO shifts into high gear with revolutionary track deformation technology, skill-demanding gameplay and dazzling graphics on the next-gen systems," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "We're redefining the genre with SEGA RALLY REVO, using next-gen power to guarantee our place in the winner's circle."

Vehicle selection affects driving strategy in SEGA RALLY REVO, as race course surfaces dynamically deform upon repeated contact with vehicle tires and changing weather effects. SEGA RALLY REVO features a variety of fully deformable surfaces, from gravel-littered tracks and smooth tarmac roads, to snow-covered mountain passes. This means no two laps will ever be the same, and drivers can skillfully lower their lap times as they hurtle their chosen world-renowned rally vehicles down photo-realistic courses only made possible on next-generation hardware.

Driving skills will also be tested by SEGA RALLY REVO's advanced AI which allows NPC drivers to dynamically adapt their driving style to the varied racing surfaces. Players can enjoy a comprehensive single-player campaign as they travel the globe racing the best drivers in the world. SEGA RALLY REVO also features online capabilities, with multiplayer splitscreen modes offering an extremely competitive rally experience against drivers around the world.

LOL there goes the nonsense that deformable terrain is ONLY possible on the ps3 lmao.

To quote one random person "Do you have any idea the type of power required to do such a thing? Only a cell processor can do it and which of the two have a cell processor? You gotta be smarter man I know this stuff"

My response was "okay just wait till the 360 gets the type of game where a deformable terrain seems to make sense"

Deformable terrain... for the 360? And they said it could not be done...

SR was always a blast on the SS, now if we can get a sweet Daytona game!

I am too poor to own a 360... therefor I play with paper statistics. The results of my indepth scientific anaylisis determined the most important benchmark is Pi. As in The Ring of Light.

I hope it will be more like the first game and less like the second game.

Nah the 360 can do everything shown in that motorstorm demo. None of that seemed beyond the capabilities of the 360. I think a game like full auto for example did a good job of showing us what was possible (and that possibly wasn't even the best they could do) They are already working on a sequel which they promise to be much better in terms of chaos and everything else. Obviously they have a better understanding of how to get more out of the 360 so who knows what they'll be able to accomplish.

Anyway with all the overthetop things in full auto what was shown in motorstorm seems like a walk in the part to be honest.
