Sega Rally Championship

Played quite a bit of it yesterday. Never really put too much time into the game but now I realize why it's so beloved. Handling is really great, especially now with Boomslangs FFB Plugin. Funnily enough, I *just* found out you can extend the race length in the test menu, adding more laps to the championship. This was a pleasant surprise and is something that will really make me sink me teeth into the game even more.
I'm gonna try and get into all the Sega Rally games this year, as it's the one racing series I never really paid much attention to. What is your favorite game in the entire series and why?

IMO Revo would be the best were it not for the totally whacked out control scheme. It has way better terrain deformation than SR3, drive through the mud into a tyre rut from a car ahead or from last lap and you really feel it. Otherwise SR3 is best to my mind, once you expand the tracklist :)
I haven't reallyp layed much SR2 tho, i'm waiting for Supermodel networking to come good before setting it up.

A video of mine that's relevant to your interests:

In terms of favourites it's got to be the original, based purely on the sheer amount of time I put into The Saturn version. 2 and 3 are both great too though, 2 absolutely blew me away first time I saw it in the arcade. Never saw 3 in an arcade. Sega Rally Online Arcade was a budget priced delight on the PS3, really had a good time with, even if it was only 30fps. I hadn't realised back then that SROA was more-or-less the same game as SR3, so it's great to be able to play it properly now at 60fps, with proper wheel support and Boomslang's FFB mod. SR Revo definitely wins the booby prize because of it's wanky handling, which is a shame as it looks nice (slightly inconsistent frame rate notwithstanding) and has tons of cars and courses. Honourable mention must go to the PS2 version of SR2006. Only played it a few times using an emulator but it handles just right and despite some simplistic looking graphics it goes at 60fps. The PS2 port of the original SR as a bonus disc was pretty awesome. Why Sega decided to keep it Japan only is anyone's guess 🙄

Wow I didn't know there was a PS2 version(or perhaps I did and simply forgot lol). Cool. I definitely need to try SR3 though. Looks hot! Man if only these could be played in VR.
I had a dream last night were far far into the future, Howard's grand kids came up with a way to give proper VR support for every single racing game ever made! And that by then, we had full 360º VR headsets! :burgerking: :afro:
