I’m glad they are continuing the Virtua Tennis series, but after playing Top Spin I had a hard time coming back to that series; hopefully they really move the series forward.

[Goonboy_Panzer]

Topspin is just a rip off of VIRTUA TENNIS. I 've no doubt that Sega has perfected the game by now.

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.

[Kadamose]

Actually, I heard a cool rumor. I heard that Sega might be bringing PDS to the PSP. It won’t be a remake, just a full fledged port. But still, you know how awesome that would be?

[Ehndow]

Awesome enough to make me buy a PSP that’s for sure.(I’d have to sell some of my organs in order to do so right now tho.

How often do you hear rumours Kadamose…?

[Al3xand3r]

And how does that rumour you heard somewhere fit into a thread about the Road to E3 announcements…

And yeah Gehn, it sounds like fun, too bad the multiplayer won’t have an online mode…

[Kimimi]

You can just tunnel anything that supports local wifi multiplayer, so it isn’t too bad. Looks good, but I’m still waiting for a Sonic as good as Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Virtua Fighter 5: PS3 Exclusive

Not sure what to think. My first reaction was that Sega were shooting themselves in the foot by making it PS3 exclusive, but then I don’t know how well the previous games have sold, or how much (if anything) Sony are paying for the exclusivity deal etc.

Some gaming publications like to pretend Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 never happened, mainly because they sucked at them and blamed the camera for every mistake.
