Games: Sega Rally

The new Sega Rally title due later this year has deformable mud, so each corner varies from lap to lap, depending on how you and your opponents have taken it recently.

Absolutely brilliant idea, if it’s central to the entire gameplay. A feature like this will be consigned to gimmick status if deadlines are tight and the gameplay isn’t coming together as Sega would like; but lets hope they have the time and focus to make it the absolute defining feature of the game. A dynamically altering track would add a lot to the racing genre, but I’m concerned that the depth of control needed to make it meaningful might clash with the traditional slight arcade-bent of the ‘Rally franchaise.
