SEGA Announces 'SEGA RALLY REVO' For Next-Generation Systems
SEGA Redefines the Rally Racing Genre with Revolutionary Track Deformation Technology
SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (April 28, 2006)
- 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.
