It's remarkable just how faithful the Saturn port of Sega Rally is compared to the arcade original. Even more so when you consider how much more powerful the Model 2 arcade board was over the Saturn's internal hardware. I played this game to death on Saturn. Easily one of the most playable home console racers to this day. The handling of the cars was just perfect. The Saturn port remains the best home version of Sega Rally for me.
Same here brow ... I bought the Saturn because of the Sega arcades , I was nuts for them .. and when it came bundled with a demo disc which had the second track to play time attack as u want , I just got nuts about it! A few months latter I bought the full version and loved it even more, me and my dad plays it to death this game! What a sound track ! The handling ... everything in this game is just great! I love it to this day!
I'd say it's because they messed up Daytona so bad, that they poured a lot more effort into Sega Rally to avoid both their arcade driving hits going to shit.
Even though I never played or heard about this game when I was little and only first played it a few months ago, there is something nostalgic about it for me...
$400 at launch.....still plays amazingly well today and better than the port of Sega Rally 2 to Dreamcast.....I’d say that’s close for the hardware it ran on. 😌
What amazes me about this port is that despite the limitations of the Saturn, nothing is really missing here. (OK transparency on the windows, but that's minor) The resolution is lower and it runs at a locked 30fps but other than that this is a damn fine port. They even added textures to some things that the arcade is missing. Like the flags lining the start line. The draw distance is pretty close to what the arcade was too. Close enough to not be all that noticeable really. The road textures take a hit, but obviously some concessions had to be made here. A lot of love was put into this and it really shows.
Simplesmente a melhor conversão de um jogo de corrida de hardwares diferentes da geração 32bits, cada detalhe foi portanto pro saturno mesmo com toda desvantagem poligonal diante da model 2,e a trilha sonora melhorada arregaça a da versão arcade lindo port
If only Saturn kept up this standard back in the day. Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter 2, Panzer Dragoon 2 and others around the time proved the console could be awesome.
alex ojideagu Oh yes, I remember. It's not 60fps and it has clipping. Back then, just as they should now, developers should ask gamers what they actually want.
bizarroeddie1 You're right there. Sadly Sega couldn't bridge the gap between arcades and home ports as well as the PS1. And that's coming from a Saturn fanboy.
stufaman Tekken Arcade for example uses a PS1 board with some extra power. While there's a massive power gap between Model 2 (the most powerful gaming hardware at the time) and Sega Saturn hardware. Virtua Fighter 2 and Sega Rally were great ports. Each arcade cabinet with model 2 costs $15000 to buy at the time, while the Saturn was like a $400 console. So overall impressive ports.
melhor jogo de corrida do Saturn, disparado, e um dos melhores dessa geração. melhor jogabilidade de jogo de corrida que já joguei até hoje. quem apenas olha as imagens e compara os gráficos não tem noção de quão boa é essa conversão. e as versões instrumentais das musicas do Arcade destroem também.
saturn version has a lower resolution (more noticeable on the car), lacks polygon transparency (see car window), and more pop ups. That said, its a really good port and keeps up to the much more powerful arcade version very well. I owned the real version and it runs silky smooth at 60fps.

weren't those windows in the arcade version ditthered?. i remember liking the effect but also remember them as tiny little pixels that gave that mirroring effect.
É uma conversão muito boa em termos de gráficos e som. Quase perfeita. Mas a verdadeira estrela é a jogabilidade - aí sim uma conversão perfeita dos jogo arcade para o controle do Saturn. É espetacular.
Sega Rally, Virtua Fighter 2, and Daytona Remix on the Saturn were amazingly close to the arcade versions. If Sega could have maintained that level of quality all the time by making the hardware easier to program for developers, Saturn would have easily won that hardware generation.
@@dxtremecaliber The entire reason Sony had superior third-party support that generation was because the PS1 hardware was easy to develop software for. In comparison, the Saturn was rushed to market and very difficult to develop software for as a result of the parallel processing.
It's sad there was no challenge mode or a console championship with reverse track and a few random events (avoid cones in this section etc...). Those are always a good addition.
Man, Saturn got a brilliant port of this game. Mind you, I think Sega did a pretty damn good job with nearly all of its Model 2 to Saturn ports (especially Virtua Fighter 2). Even original Daytona USA is pretty good (Daytona: CCE, although prettier and with more stuff, really screws with the handling), despite being 20fps and having a lowish draw distance.
This and Virtua Fighter 2 were Sega's finest hour on the Saturn.I remember being in total disbelief seeing those 2 running in my mates house on his 21" crt lol.Great gaming days.
It goes without saying. Model boards (doesn't matter which one) were top of the line, most expensive and most advanced hardware of their time. Boards that were, we could say... especially custom-crafted for high end arcade experiences. They were a dream back then, and they still are. Because some of their games haven't got a decent port yet, and probably never will. Not to mention the complex logistics and excessive amount of money you needed to buy one arcade machine back then, and even more so now. All that said... Sega Saturn's Sega Rally was and still is OUTSTANDING. Feels like the arcade, and to my 12 year old self... it looked just like the arcade, heck anything on the Sega Saturn was a dream come true, even some sub-par ports like the first Virtua Fighter or the original blocky-no-field-of-view Daytona's port. Also the 30 fps downgrade, low res textures and grainy graphics of Saturn's Sega Rally were just circumstancial and a product of their time as a game from the very first years of an extremely complicated hardware to program for. I'm pretty sure that with an extended time of development they would achieved 60fps.
Está aí um dos melhores jogos do saturn. Apesar do port inferior por motivos óbvios, na época não tinha quem não ficasse boquiaberto com ele!! Diversão garantida!!!!
O carro da versão arcade está um pouco maior e não tem construção de tela o sega Saturno fez um ótimo Port esses detalhes não atrapalha em nada o game do sega Saturno que ficou ótimo a limitação técnica do sega Saturno quase não se percebe nota 10 para sega
I remember when this game came out it was part of what Sega was calling one of the big 3, there was Sega rally, virtua figher 2 and virtua cop all 3 games were so close to the arcade it was unbelievable, I was a hardcore Saturn fan back then and super proud my machine was pumping out graphics like this after being battered by playstion fan boys, if there was one thing that Saturn had was a library of quality titles it's a shame it wasnt the success it was ment to be only in later years now as a retro machine has it gained serious value and considered a gem amongst collectors, while the ps1 is worth nothing as everyone has those lying around, in my book the Saturn won by playing the long game because it's become like the snes a classic.
Both versions play amazingly. The Arcade is clear winner on graphics but then given that model 2 hardware cost more than a real car back in the day that's unsurprising. If anything it's amazing how good they managed to get it to look on the Saturn and even more amazing it runs at a silky smooth 60fps.
Christian Palmer so true. The same happened with Tomb Raiders 4 and 5 on DC with terrible framerates, bad graphics for a 128-bit console and long loading times...
The differences are noticeable. Look at the Skybox on the Saturn version. It’s a straight up pre rendered image that just sort of floats in the background. The pop in is definitely noticeable. The poly count is noticeably reduced and the frame rate cut in half. But with all that said, it holds up surprisingly well. Considering the model 2 was so far ahead of everything at that time and the Saturn was drastically underpowered by comparison, it’s still a damn good port job that captures the game completely with a few cut backs. The frame rate is solid and rarely seems to dip unlike the early Daytona USA port. The sense of speed is still there. The handling is still there. The pop in is drastically improved over the early Daytona USA port. AM2 really did get to know the Saturn hardware better than anyone else and I think they consistently got the best results out of it.
LGD Retrogamer LGD Retrogamer só não foi melhor que o milagre operado no Virtua fighter 2 que roda na resolução máxima dos 32 bits( 720x 525 resolução nunca alcançada no PSX) inclusive mais alta que a do próprio arcade.
Sega Rally in the arcade was a revelation almost on the level of Daytona USA for me. In some ways, I liked Sega Rally better because the handling was more realistic and easier to master. The power sliding just felt right, unlike a lot of arcade racers which made a habit of turning cars to ridiculous angles. The Saturn version is a very good port. That said, this port goes to show that the promise of arcade-quality graphics wasn't quite there, at least when comparing Model 2 games to Saturn conversions. It's a little odd that the Saturn architecture strayed so far from Sega's arcade hardware at the time, although the Model stuff was really expensive and not likely to have translated to a home console easily at anything close to a reasonable price. Games like Virtua Fighter 2 got impressively close, but Sega Rally is just so smooth, sharp, and fast. The Saturn port gets amazingly close, but is still a little rough. Having the choice today, since the Saturn version doesn't really add anything to the arcade game, I'll play the Model 2 version every time. But for 1995, the Saturn port was a great game to have and play. It's really impressive when you think about how close they managed to get it that early on in the console's life. WAY better than the Daytona USA port.
One of the best Sega Saturn conversions. Really, differences are meaningless here, it's the same experience, one can run at 60 fps and the other have less memory for textures but the game is solid in both systems
Sega model 2 arcade cambine was a technology beast the period came out Sega rally. Sega saturn port is also great and very close. For me it worths to have this collective gem game on Saturn to your house enjoy and remembers the golden period of the coin ops!!!
Seems like the arcade view is from a slightly different angle and I like it much better. I had this on Saturn back in the day but never actually saw it in the arcade.
A velocidade com que o Arcade rodava o jogo e com aqueles gráficos inovadores para a época deixava qualquer um impressionado! Eu babava na frente dos fliperamas!
O melhor Sega Rally já lançado é o do Saturn!!! Arcade pode ter um gráfico muito superior mas a jogabilidade que colocaram no saturn não tem igual!!! Só de olhar pro vídeo, consigo sentir (saturn) o peso do carro nos meus dedos!!! Ah se tivesse como jogar uma versão online desse jogo no saturn nos dias de hoje...eu estaria entre os melhores...amo esse jogo e até hj tento bater meus próprios records nele...
It took an original Xbox to convert this game properly. Not a Sega Dreamcast, which came close, but still couldn't show it in full force. I know this cause of the arcade game Killer Instinct, which was released in the same time period as Sega Rally Championship. I had a SNES in that time, and although the gameplay was converted 1 on 1, it didn't came close near the arcade quality, with its semi-3d arena's. We got a 1 on 1 conversion of Killer Instinct on the original X box. So my guess is only an Xbox could recreate Sega Rally's Championship original. The Dreamcast had a port of SRC, but it felt like a spin off, probably cause they couldn't port it 1 on 1. The X Box was the first console that could play all these arcade games 1 on 1. 🙂😉
The camera always points in the direction the car is moving, not the direction the car is facing. Later racing games, including Sega Rally sequels, got that wrong and took all the fun out of drifting.
The arcade version wins. But dang, the graphics in the saturn version, looks almost close to the arcade version. Those saturn owners were really lucky and blessed, to have this game at home. The same with them getting cool, advanced fighting games, like Virtua Fighter.👍😃 5:42 Game Over Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!😅 All of a sudden, I remember Classic Game Room.😂
It took six months after launch, but Sega finally started punting out some competent software for the system with stuff like this and VF2. Unfortunately the writing was on the wall as the bias in gaming journalism and the court of public opinion had already set in that Saturn was an inferior machine to PS in both games and power not to mention being the more expensive machine. Barely a year after launch having to halve the Saturn's price from $399 to $199 to stay competitive with the PSX and N64 on price point and software sales not coming close to making up the difference, it was no wonder Sega started hemorrhaging money at that time. They ultimately lost hundreds of millions of dollars on Saturn between 1996 and 1998. It makes you wonder had Sega not wasted time with crap like the 32X, and all the time and energy Sega put there that had gone into Saturn launch software instead. Having stuff like Doom, Star Wars Arcade, Knuckles Chaotix, and those arcade ports of Space Harrier and Afterburner on the Saturn there right at or near launch instead of wasting away on the 32X. It sure as hell wouldn't have hurt that's for sure.
I love the arcade version! I played the saturn version over and over, but the arcade with 4 times the resolution, double the framerate, filtered textures, transparencies, better draw distance, higher polygon models with round courves, perspective correct texture mapping and analog controls is absolutely beautiful! Saturns music is much better, tho.
One thing about Sega Rally Championship is that there isn't a single racer I feel that I've played that handles better, on a d-pad no less, you can brake tap insane drifts in this game and it all handles like a dream. PSX could have its Ridge Racer garbage. This is a game to perfect if you love driving games because once you get that finesse down just right, this game rewards you like no other with the thrill and flow.
Claro que o arcade ganha porém o Saturno foi uma plataforma incrível creio que daria para explorar ela mais ainda e evitando a saída da Sega do Mundo dos consoles Incrível console e tive o Prazer de ter um !
Um dos melhores ports Arcade 3D do Saturn, só pecou por não trazer muito mais pistas do que o jogo Arcade, assim poderia ter ficado melhor ainda do que sua versão original, algo que fizeram muito bem com Virtua Racing...
Olha eu tive um Saturn na época, e era rato de fliperama. Terminei Sega Rally no Arcade e no Saturn, e o jogo era o mesmo. Não tem essa de muito mais pistas, com todo o respeito.
Canal Vc Decide é quase isso,mas jogo de luta é meio dificil de fazer isso Refiro a outros tipos de jogos q vc pausa no meio do game play ate sincronizarem Mas pensando denovo,acho q ia dar muito mais trabalho,kkkkkk Vi uns game plays de canais gringos fazendo comparaçoes mas com sincronizaçoes do game play e achei bem legal
Versão arcade a 60 fps e a do saturn a 30 fps,fora que a versão arcade tem resolução superior,mas a conversão foi até decente dada a diferença entre os dois hardware
Ich kann bis heute nicht verstehen warum der Saturn keine Transparenzeffekte darstellen kann.oder warum bei der Hardwarekonzipierung nicht darauf geachtet wurde
Versión dentro de lo posible para el enrevesado e infernal desproposito que fue el hardware de Sega Saturn. Aun así, pone de manifiesto con su : popping, clipping, texturas very low resolution, y sus fluctuantes 20/30 frames, que Saturn nunca estuvo llamada a liderar la 5a generación de consolas...
I don't get why all of the model 2 and model 3 games are all locked up in a vault somewhere. Best arcade games. I dont understand why thei don't release more of their racers. They were brilliant. Its a real shame. They keep re-releasing sonic like a hooker on a corner. They same old genesis bullshit. GIVE US ARCADE PERFECT PORTS! PLEASEEEE
Saturn version .. Better sound fx Better music More features and modes,time attack and tuning Less floaty handling Greater impression of speed possibly due to the 30fps frame rate I think the saturn version is the best
Arcade has time attack mode. You have to press start when selecting the track. No, Arcade version is the best. I have Sega Saturn and play a lot. Driving in a racing wheel and 60 fps are whole next level. Saturn is good, but cant match. When I played at arcades, I finished the game, the crowd was watching me. You even cant imagine it.
