Sega has just announced Sega Rally for unspecified next-generation systems. Cool huh? The next-gen systems are Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, though Sega's disclaimer, "This title is not yet concept approved by Sony Computer Entertainment America. This title is not yet concept approved by Microsoft." does indicate that the game is in its infancy. Oh, there's a PC version too.
"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, now a PR release comment writing machine. "We're redefining the genre with SEGA RALLY REVO, using next-gen power to guarantee our place in the winner's circle." As you'll have noted, the game is subtitled Revo, which until yesterday would have indicated a Revolution version. We'll refrain from rehashing what in a mere 18 hours has become the most tiresome joke in gaming history and not make a wee pun.
The press release, scant on info but containing a SPOnG Gold Standard of filler text in its absence reads:
Screenshots are expected during E3, though a playable version looks some way away.

The press release, scant on info but containing a SPOnG Gold Standard of filler text in its absence reads:
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.

My best 'guess' is that this is indeed a Wii game - according to some of the rumblings I have heard of the R.. Wii - like applying some graphical technique to the games from the hardware. Apparently, 'good' graphics become immesurable.
