SEGA Rally - Image 1


Aside from those screens and fact sheet that we shared with you guys a few weeks back, not much has been said about Sega's upcoming racer Sega Rally for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Going over gaming news site Kikizo, we found an interview with Guy Wilday, Sega Racing Studio's director, and he managed to divulge some details about the game.

He said that the key philosophy behind the game is that it's a multiplayer arcade game on looping tracks. He explains that "by the time you're down to the last laps, the track's going to look completely different. It's going to be much more deformed". This was not an easy feat to do. Add that with the fact that Sega Rally is still essentially an arcade game coming to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC and you'll realize that the devs really have their jobs cut out for them.

Since the game is essentially still an arcade game, complication setups found in most simulation-styled rally games are replaced by more holistic choices. Instead of adjusting the ration of your gears, you will be able to choose between cars that favor gravel, mud, or tarmac. Your job is to take advantage of the cars' capabilities and specialties.

Wilday also said that there would be more than 30 vehicles available and they are a mix of new and classic cars that most gamers of past installments would recognize. In parting, this is what the director had to say:

Sega Rally for me was pretty much the defining moment. It's the star of the whole off-road genre...What we're looking to do is take that with next-gen to the next level. We're looking to create another landmark in off-road racing."

But these screens look way better than Motorstorm, although Motorstorm looks great a cursory comparison of the background and tracks show this game has much more detail. Hopefully its not too arcadey, and really hectic and ballsy.

Motorstorm has 8 tracks - I am sorry but a 'next-gen' game should have more than that - wow you can go round them in reverse. And if you dont have a HD TV yet then you might aswell drive blind fold because it looks horrendous - my TV only has VGA so long live the 360!

im a ps3 owner, i like every game it has or maybe not, motor storm is a great game but i will always prefer real cars over some fancy moon buggies and gang bikes. yeah i hate to admit that sega is making a game that i will like, but hey this game is pretty much equal to what V-Rally on ps3 can offer. so just make em and we will see. and please give us option to turn OFF the announcer saying medium right, hard left etc.
