Deformation is still in, doesn't seem as deep as revo though and the grip boost from it is minimal.

that was one of the easier 200/200 ive gotten. fun though!
Diablohead is lighting this game up though. he's got #1 on like 95% of all the leader boards. badass!
6th is my highest rank so far. just got it on Tropical quick race.
ill probably keep playing for a bit and go for some time trial scores and stuff, then head back to Revo at some point. the game is fun. worth $10 easy for me.
it does have deformation. never played the Arcade version, so i dont know if the deformation is reduced or not. the game is different enough from the Revo version that i cant really say.

There are cheaters on the leaderboards already, your 6th might be 3rd depending on the track.

I loved Sega Rally Championship on Genesis, is this similar to that?

I'm loving this game. Just had a couple of really intense online races, but it's obvious I'm not as good at this game as I thought I would be.
The Desert '95 remake is brilliant, except it's missing the helicopter at the end, but that's really a minor gripe.
It's a distilled version of Revo, with a proper Sega Rally Classic style championship mode. Well worth my 800 points.

Yes. Stunning, stunning game at high resolution and 60fps.Kuran said:
Sega Rally (Revo) remains pretty much the only truly 'next-generation' racing game because of its track deformation - everything else has just been more of the same with prettier graphics and tweaked physics.
I'm amazed so many people didn't like it.

The structure of the game and no restart option put a lot of people off, from what I remember. Also it was released at a bad time and all that. I'm still slightly ashamed that I didn't buy it at launch, because I wanted to support the racing studio but money was tight at the time. I also didn't buy PGR4 (released around that same time) either and still feel terrible about that.
It's all my fault!!!

Wasn't Sega Rally Revo on Steam? I can't find it now.

Nah, that I did buy. Day 1 for the console, and then all major titles to follow.
Those were simpler times, when my brother and I both didn't have bills to pay so we could just save money for video games. In 2007 I moved into my own flat and needed to eat. So I started swapping and borrowing games with friends instead of buying new. Sad times.

I've had it sitting in my backlog for a while and just recently started devoting time to it. It's not quite Rallisport Challenge sim/arcade perfection and playing on the 360 keeps me from seeing its true potential but it handles great and still looks damn good. Playing with the Sega Rally OST makes it even better.Suairyu said:

I'll ask again, will this work with the DFGT?

Should do, PS3 'Revo did. Can't say for sure until PSN version is available.Risk Breaker said:

... oh crap, I forgot the tiny detail that the DFGT doesn't work on 360 and that PStore is still down
Thanks for the input though, I'll keep an eye on it, or maybe I'll simply get Revo on the PC and use it there Thanks again.Diablohead

I own Revo for pc because amazon did a 96p clearance lol, but I've owned the 360 version the year before and 1000 it because the game was awesome, was a bit slow getting 100 online wins and hosts when hardly anyone played it but I showed my love for the game by achieving it.
OK here's the reality of the situation gentlemen,
Sega, as an arcade racing company is DEAD. Any future arcade racing games done by them *WILL* be farmed out to western devs, and hence will run @ 60fps.
Codemasters, as many criticisms as they get, are the NEW SEGA!!! Dirt 2>>>Sega Rally 2 and Dirt 3>>>This Sega Rally Online abomination. The Dirt series destroys all Sega Rally games except the very first one.
Your options at this point folks are:
1)Play the *original* Sega Rally Championship on PC via Model 2 emulator, and bask in all its nostalgic glory
2)For a more recent "Next Gen" experience play Dirt 3.
Nail, I'd like you to meet head.

For the Bowler Nemesis, you have to beat all four tracks (Tropical, Canyon, Alpine and Lakeside) in quick race (I did on Arcade difficulty, don't know if you can do it on Casual), then beat all staff time trial ghosts to unlock the McRae Enduro. That leaves the Baja Racer, any idea on that one?

Played some Revo and then tried the trial of this last night. Felt way too close to Revo to warrant a second purchase IMO.
No Western developer has yet been able to capture the feel of the classic Japanese arcade racing games. Usually it's as simple as the extra layers of complexity and punishment Western racing games add. Dirt 2 punishes you much more harshly for wrecking than Sega Rally used to. Revo also required you to play with absolute perfection.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is as close as any recent racing game has come to bringing back the classic 'good feeling' arcade racing game in ages.

Not only has a western developer been able to capture the feel of classic Arcade games, they've far surpassed it.

"Well, I disagree that Trackmania is the same feel, but it's very good too. Trackmania isn't trying to be the same thing to me. It's trying to be Stunts."

Popped in Sega Rally 2 on my Dreamcast. Not nearly as fun or as good-looking as my rose-tinted glasses seem to remember it as.
Downloading trial of SROA now.

nah bro, nothing to do with nostalgia. Sega Rally Championship is still one of the best handling arcade racing games ever (in my opinion THE best)
regarding the Japanese vs Western developed arcade racing games; while the West certainly has their share of truly good arcade racers (Burnout series is a good example), for me it's all about JPN.
Outrun, Daytona USA, Sega Rally, Over Rev, Initial D, Scud, Ridge Racer.

Well, Sumo did fix glitched leaderboards in Sonic and Sega All Star Racing, I don't know if they stayed fixed, but there's a chance that they'll try and patch out any leaderboard glitches and reset the boards.
Glitched leaderboards annoy me more than anything and devalue one of my favourite features of these arcade style games.

I agree scoreboards shine in arcade games, I remember back on pal dreamcast SR2 I had to write down a code after doing my best hot lap then enter it on an online website lol, that ws cool until some idiot cracked the code system and uploaded 0:00 times...Dead Man Typing said:

It's quite literally, Initial D meets Fast n the Furious meets Sega Super GT meets Virtua Fighter. I shit you not, the game is a blast of arcade racing.

Yeah I played it during a trip to Japan two years ago.
Fun little game, but I didn't like the "everyone can drift" mechanics. I understand the thought behind it (very accessible, anyone can pull of amazing drifts) but it took away too much control. I felt more like a roller coaster ride.
I was way more into the actual Initial D arcade game. When I was in Japan they had arcade stage 5 and it was awesome (way better than stage 4, which was released as extreme stage on PS3). I'd really like to try out ID arcade stage 6...maybe in HK if I go this year
anyways, just outta curiosity; I think there are some folks here who've spent a fine amount of hours with the original Sega Rally Championship. What are your best times? (Is there any place online where records are being kept? Fan site, forum, anything?)
