Arcade Longplay [249] SEGA Rally Championship 1995 

Also don't forget the game over song in the game total distortion

I actually think the saturn version is better. It has way better sound and so much more entertaining physics. The only downside is the resolution and detail of the graphics.

kimgulle Yeah, the music is astounding on the saturn, but then again it's CD music. But the details are really down to the Saturn's issue with not being able to do translucent graphics, like that weird mesh it has for windows on the car etc.

You know there's already a great arcade port of this game for PS2. If you have a modded PS2 you can just find the image and put it on CD. If you don't have one then get the japanese PS2 and Sega Rally 2006 box set.

Barami Snaeha how do mod a ps2

@@Larry seeing wipe ut on my saturn was horrible after playing wipe out on psx 😭

Kind of sucks that we're in an age where you can't be blown away by any video game isn't it? We have plenty of video games that are nearly photorealistic.

@@fuzzywzhe That's right. I guess it doesn't blow our minds because we've been eased into it. It we had today's games back then all of a sudden, we'd struggle to believe our eyes.

@@fuzzywzhe unfortunately, i feel like we already reached a point where there's not much evolution in terms of graphics. Everything remain mostly the same nowadays

@@QF_Dan72 There can't be much evolution in graphics. We're at the point that photo-realism is pretty easy to do. The reality is people don't WANT photo-realism. It's a lot of effort to make it look slightly more real, but who really wants that?

@idonotknowwhattonamemyyoutubechannelbut... There's nothing to improve upon.

this navigator better be sure

XDD

@Fat Chocobo So many of us did. I like to still think that for the laughs.

The navigator is unsure...... 😅

Where he say that?

Back then, it was quality over quantity. If the game had more tracks there's a good chance it wouldn't have been nearly as fun to play. They say less is more (whoever 'they' may be) and I think this game is a good example of that.

For reference, the Papyrus racing games of the time (guys that would eventually make NR2003 and iRacing) didn't have 3D physics. Tracks only had VISUAL elevation changes but cars would never go off the ground no matter the terrain or impacts.

Not only that, the tracks are shorter than the music.

@@MrJoshuaSalway1990 That is true. A game like the original Super Smash Bros. only has nine arenas and twelve characters but it's still enjoyable cause you can always mix it up.

You got steering feedback too on the seated arcade system.

Yep

The stu-tu-tu-tu is always a nice touch. And you can also hear some anti-lag here when you let off the gas as well.

@100958069666008721228 Remember Day-EEEEEtonaaaa....? That game spelt out game-over lols G. A. M. E. O. V. E. R. GAMEROVERGAMEOVERGAMEOVER ! LOLOL

The funniest part (at least for me) was that the only thing I remembered from Sega Rally, after not playing it for years was the Game Over Screen: 10:10

@@MrWackywilson hahaha

Leopardus84 Nope the Saturn version looked like shit!!!

Paul Barnes haha yeah. But considering the hardware was poor they did a good job

Leopardus84 That soundtrack... Joe Satriani!

+World of Longplays (cubex55) were?

Don't you mean 'where'?

Chris Shrigley most people don't have the skill to finish it. lol

I finished this in the arcade; spent a fortune! Manual gearbox. Last level was super tough trying to stay ahead of the Toyota Corolla. I always picked the Delta, always!

+LMC_18 g😜 😂 😊

I love arcades so so much as I kid but I was just too young to miss them almost entirely. By the time I was old enough to know really know what I was doing in video games all the old arcade machines had broken down and disappeared. So heartbreaking, I'd gladly give up consoles for the atmosphere of the arcade.

it 1994

Game over yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Francis Monzón yea

"not bad"? Lol, this was pretty much cutting edge gaming tech in 94/95, and was far from the norm. Then again, this was an expensive arcade cabinet with custom hardware, not a home console/computer.

Not bad? Gtfoh

Yeah, the cars on 3 wheels was something spectacular to watch as a kid

You just *HAD* to say it!

It sounds so fucking stupid

@@megamichael4021 I agree with you. The Saturn/Sega Rally 2 version is a lot better than the original Arcade version.

yeah the only way to play Sega Rally outside of the arcades are in the Saturn or the PS2

+tom11zz884 I did. I had a subscription to Game Pro. :)

something about the arcade feeling. like a rush lol

GEE, AY, EMM, EEE, OH, VUU, EEE, ARR! GEE-AY-EMM-EEE-OH-VUU-EEE-ARR! GAME! OVER! GAME! OVER! GAME! GAME! OVER! GAME! OVER!

No it wasnt

It’s Sega Rally *2* on Dreamcast! Sega Rally *1* released on one console: the Sega Saturn.

Keep all the same audio though

I also thought I would never manage to do it (some seconds and I would do it) and I just went over the finish line in the "slowdown" time (when time is over) xD

+WKZworks Well, surely it wasn't really easy to do with Model 2 technical stuff and specifications (It wasn't like the NeoGeo which was a 2D system, it was a full fledged 3D arcade board) and mostly the different controller schemes of many games. Also it was 1995 so it was pretty much really hard to do something like that (More considering the year) but Saturn still was pretty powerful, being really stellar more with 2D rather than 3D. But yet the Saturn still got some decent ports (Both versions of Daytona USA, Virtua Fighter 2 and Sega Rally) and a decent catalog of decent games. The Dreamcast was released after NAOMI and was inferior to the arcade board yet, but It could get some really good graphics due to the advanced hardware and the much closer proximity of Dreamcast to the NAOMI. Also there was before Model 3 Arcade Board, which most of their games got ported to the Dreamcast.

except for Daytona USA 2, that would have been awesome for it to be ported on Dreamcast...but it never got ported officially outside of arcade.

even Daytona USA was keeping stable high FPS, so this comment is a little irrelevant

Actually we did care about fps. The home port of this game on the Sega Saturn was advertised as being an incredible 30 fps. Only arcade hardware was capable 60 fps at that time. Arcade 3D games mostly ran at 60 fps back then and looked amazing compared to home consoles. That changed with PS2/Xbox/Dreamcast.

+Baa! it's ok, but the image counters are skewed with the new tools. It's as if you were recording a movie with your camera in 60hz a TV screen of a game that only shows 30 in reality and voila, hence the impression of mummy responsiveness in games, even in 4k, they are soft for most. The question is not to say that they ruin the old video games to the detriment of the new ones because they have less fps, whereas technically it is false, the physical engines being much smaller, they turned much better, the 2D also, unstoppable speed, compared to any game of the moment on a flat screen, besides why the upscaler performers are so expensive?, And you will inherit additional latency. As long as it's in the line of code, the engines turned "round", the sound effects (very important) were encoded at the same time as the phases of gameplay, it changes everything about the game design, and the final impact on replayability. The last ones to use these techniques for the sound, are the am # 2 games (especially Fighting Vipers), if you pay attention to camera angles, and other sounds depending on the scene and the shot taken after the stopwatch. They still have everything to learn from the arcade, you find them too demanding these young people, I do not find them enough critical precisely.

Erm everyone was obsessed with mythical 60fps back then. Always was gutted this was 30fps on Saturn. Even on Dreamcast they robbed us with SEGA Rally 2 at 30fps! I was devastated when I discovered it was only 30 😂

Frames per second or first-person shooters? If you meant the latter, that makes more sense as the market seems to be running out of ideas. If it’s the former, frames per second have always mattered.
