Sega Rally Revo developed natively for PS3

Posted Jun 22, 2007 at 5:17PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: News, Games Tags: Codemasters, Microsoft, Rockstar North, Sega, Sony

Sega Rally Revo is an arcade-style racer which takes players and their cars off the road and on to the dirt for an axle-breaking, fender busting ride that boasts of graphical superiority grown primarily on the Sony PlayStation 3 and ported to the Microsoft Xbox 360, PC and Sony PlayStation Portable.

GamePro was able to see how the game looked first hand in its high-resolution glory and the respected game publication was all praises for what it saw. Running at 730p for next-gen consoles and moving at a lofty 30 frames per second, the visuals had a lot of bells and whistles to make it all look sweet.

The move to tone down the frame rate, says GamePro, was based on the rationale of "freeing up extra horsepower for slick visual effects like real-time reflections (both on cars and wet roads) and high levels of anti-aliasing (the PS3 version had no visible "jaggies"...and believe us, we looked for them)."

The development team also revealed that the game was originally developed only in the PS3 platform but was later ported to other systems. The devs handling the project are from the Rockstar North and Codemasters folds.

The game is expected to be set loose sometime between the end of September and the middle of October this year. More than 30 cars and 24 tracks will be featured for high-octane fun on all of the platforms it will see action in.

Great news now I know not to purchase this game, how lame no seperate development for next gen consoles? I only buy non online games on my PS3 and online ones on my 360 so this has now moved off my radar completely and with DIRT having no online play it looks like I'll be sticking with forza, flatout and motorstorm for my kicks.

Oh how the numbers are so over-looked. D:

"We're very happy - the game [Sega Rally Revo] looks identical on both platforms; the feature-set is exactly the same. We've sat them side by side and you're really hard-pushed to tell the difference." - Guy Wilday, head of Sega Racing Studio

# yes — Guest 2007-06-22 20:26

great news, finally no lame jaggy 360toPS3 ports

# if only it wasnt Gamepro... — Guest 2007-06-22 20:28

see the subject

# yeah — Guest 2007-06-22 20:33

and i thought 720p was the common HD resolution.

and Bravia's doing 750p, i wonder what TV they used?

# ported — Guest 2007-06-22 21:19

hope its better than rally 2 and that thing that only came out in japan, although maybe it was the language barrier that really made me give up after 2 go's.

so anyway, am i getting confused, i thought there was a post not too long ago about the psp version being made from scratch, it does seem a little far fetch'd now i think about it. or is that a different saga rally.

saturn sega rally ruled

# Qj tisk tisk.... — Guest 2007-06-22 21:30

The GamePro article say its 720p, which is what it runs at 730p LOL.

# lofty? — Guest 2007-06-23 02:06

I may be a bit behind the times on this but since when has 30fps been anything other than the age old STANDARD rate. Since when did it rse to it's new "lofty" status?

# Native development not making any difference? — Guest 2007-06-23 02:10

Sega Rally Hands-On Preview

"While both versions were polished and highly playable, the Xbox 360 demo looked slightly more advanced, with a smoother overall frame rate..."

"The result is that the game never slowed down to a sluggish pace, but it did seem to be smoother on Microsoft's console overall."

# LOL — Jin Wu 2007-06-23 03:08

They're just trying to market the game. I'm in no way influenced to buy this game just on this bit of info.

Originally developed on the PS3 could mean it was just used for development and then refined on the 360 because they THINK they can expect more sales.

Wait and see on this one.

# never ever trust gamespot.. — Guest 2007-06-23 05:16

Gamespot is associated with Cnet and is advertizing for the 360,they are bound to be biased

in their preview they compared the PS3 "Online mose" against the 360 single player mode

how foolish,ofcours e the online mode lags against the single player the online code is finished for the game yet

for gamespot to say that the 360 version is smoother by comparing singlel player mose to online mose is throwing sand into the eyes

but then advertizing for the 360 is their job

# AK — Guest 2007-06-23 05:26

730p?

# its simple — Guest 2007-06-23 06:35

its simple guys games ported to from 360 looks like crap on ps3 that is why developers are now switching this leads me to believe ps3 is the weaker platform case in point virtua fighter 5 that game was developed for the ps3 first and then was ported to the 360 the 360 looks better which shows that 360 is better check ign.com, qj might post the same article soon, so for all the talk that 360 is holding back the ps3, in reality it is the ps3 that is holding back the 360.

# xbox rules — Guest 2007-06-23 07:17

the xbox will prevail. They would try to make the ps3 sound better. There is no way the xbox version was ported. It looks better than the ps3 version.

# 666 — Guest 2007-06-23 07:37

LMAO at the 360 fanboys.

# Forza 2 shows how its done — Guest 2007-06-23 08:34

Take a look at Forza on the city track and Maple you cant do any more to improve the graphics, so you are just kidding yourself if you think any thing more is possible on the current TVs

# PS3 owners your console isnt doing well but STFU pleas — Guest 2007-06-23 08:42

You people must be so bored posting about which machine its developed on when you havent even seen it yet, the fact is the PS3 is not selling, the Wii is really kicking its ass, but the 360 has a huge attachment rate (games/add ons sold per console) and xbox live is huge, the Wii and 360 sales are what investors want to see not whatever console a game is developt on..

# ... — Guest 2007-06-23 08:43

wtf are you talking about you dork....

# Man what a weak arugument — Guest 2007-06-23 09:00

If developers are all devloping for Sony first, they must know something that average

Joes don't. I bet they drop the PS3 to 399.99 this Christmas. If they do its game over for XBOX and the Wii.

# Hey zx please shut the f.u.c.k up *****ar — Guest 2007-06-23 09:07

Go f.u.c.k yourself. I hope your TV explodes in your face you fat black piece of s.h.i.t.

# real deal — Guest 2007-06-23 09:24

ps3 sega rally online .360 singleplayer.ps3 sega rally sending code all over world .conclusion choppy framerate.

# Makes Sense... — Shatterdome 2007-06-23 10:31

I'm not surprised they would go to this model of development. It makes total sense to set your schedule to the longer development time of the PS3, and then implement these things on the 360 later on, easier and faster, and possibly better (I say this now as i've only seen 360 with the advantage in games and I don't care about the future, only the present and past)

So why not. Really I want to see side by sides as I thought real-time track deformation was something the PS3 would do better as that function requires straight up number crunching to determine the shape of the new mesh.....but if 360 manages to do it as well, that will be something....i've only seen it implemented abit in the "dirt" demo, not sure how much it's used in the real game...but it's barely noticeable in the demo and I can't say it's not just a fancy texture/bump map and not real time mesh deformation...

# all — Guest 2007-06-23 10:51

all I have to say is check out virtua fighter 5 a game that was on ps3 first and then ported to 360 the 360 version still looks better xbox is the best again

# ps3 — Guest 2007-06-23 10:58

ps3 dropping to 399 by christmas wow sony fanboys are wishing, what you fanboys need to get in your head is that the days of sony exclusives are over people now have a choice and its called XBOX 360, sonys dominance is over

# ... — Guest 2007-06-23 11:02

dude ***** vf5, ***** it looking better on the xbox360, first off thats bull ***** and second the ps3 is known to be the better system, so even if a game looks better on the 360 that doesnt prove ***** because people can make better games for the ps3 and thats a fact.

# He's saying — Guest 2007-06-23 11:06

That developers get lazy when porting 360 games to the PS3. Just look at Splinter Cell and FEAR. It's sad really. Nothing wrong with the console, developers just do sh*t job of porting. Both of those games look and play terrible on the PS3, and were released one year AFTER the 360 versions.

Developers: Try harder!

# xman! — Folding Junkie! 2007-06-23 11:09

Everyone that has seen your posts on qj.net already know that your ignorance is astounding. But racist too? That is just plain offensive. Go to hell you punk!

# Wake up!!! — Guest 2007-06-23 11:39

Alright, I think you need to put down your crack pipe now and wake up. I never heard do much B.S. come from 1 person's mouth. I'll take a stab at it: Your an Xbot and a troll, right? See I knew it.

Wake up!!! PS3 will X360's arse anytime anywhere. Didn't you just read this article or gloss over it. What an Xbox monkey!

# . — nllx 2007-06-23 15:24

""Sega designing a game for PS3 and porting it on other systems means that tha PS3 owners will get the best version of the game ""

Just like how the 360 version of VF5 looks better than the PS3 which it was centered on? Haha, nice try fanboy!

.

# VF5 — Guest 2007-06-23 16:14

It probably will look better on the 360.

And gamespot are just telling it the way they see it. You only think their bias when something doesn't favor the PS3.

# no no no — Xman 2007-06-23 18:07

first off i havent posted on this site sence the blu-ray- hd dvd story!! there have been people useing the name xman and saying gay stuff!! i didnt mean to creat some type of xman revolution or anything, im sorry about that. i was the only xman until everyone started useing the name!! anyway, as much as i hate the ps3 and all of its fanboys, i will nevver include race into my comments!!

# this — Guest 2007-06-23 18:54

This will go on and on and on the facts are 360 is better ps3 is better my thing is what game is on ps3 that cant be done on 360, right now game for game 360 is winning in the marketplace resistance fall of man versus gears of war ok sales wise fact and popular opinion gears woops the crap out of resistance, now what you got to say sony fanboys

# why me — Xman 2007-06-23 19:05

first off i havent posted on this site sence the blu-ray- hd dvd story!! there have been people useing the name xman and saying gay and racist stuff!! i didnt mean to creat some type of xman revolution or anything, im sorry about that. i was the only xman until everyone started useing the name!! anyway, as much as i dont like the ps3 and all of its fanboys, i will nevver include race into my comments!!

anyway back on topic!! if this game has bad frame rate then it proven that the 360 is stronger then the ps3!!

# Xbox fanboys dont get it — Guest 2007-06-24 08:38

Developers are realizing that is a better strategy to use PS3 a leading platform because is much easer to port later to x360. They are not intending to make the PS3 version a better game than x360 counterpart (specially at this early stage of PS3 lifespan and taking into account PS3 stepper learning curve). So I'm more than happy that Sega Revo is the same on both platforms and the PS3 version will not be delayed.

# They are not winning anymore — Guest 2007-06-24 17:01

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid+25943

And its happening here too. MS sold to its core audience. 10 to one the bombshell is 399.99. If not Sony might do something I bet will have everyone buying one this Christmas, it might be a 299.99.

# 360 games all come to pc — Guest 2007-07-01 10:42

no need to buy one ,ps3 games only on the ps3.

# ps3 price drop — Guest 2007-07-05 05:49

sony wont drop ps3s price as they are already losing money on it because of blu ray
