EDITION CONFLICT: temporary storage
="Sega Rally 3 ?"= PART1 It is questionnable if Sega Rally 2006 can really be considered as Dreamcast Sega Rally 2's sequel or more like a Sega Saturn Sega Rally 1995 updated version. Sega Corporation initially planned the PlayStation 2 release date for 2005 as a 10-year anniversary celebration version that should have be named "Sega Rally 2005", but the launch date was postponed. A significant change in Sega Rally 2006 involves the development team's change to a brand new one led by producer Taniguchi replacing Mizuguchi (Sega Rally series, Sega Touring Car Championship). Taniguchi turned Sega Rally into his own vision; First of all, several features have been removed from DC Sega Rally 2 as both Network Battle & 2-player Battle multiplayer modes are not available anymore. The music genre has been changed from instrumental Hard Rock with classic tunes such as "Conditioned Reflex", (the 1996 "Plus" edition BGM being performed by the Japanese act "X-BAND"), to Lo-Fi synthesizer driven pop, becoming a key change in the series. When Sega Rally 2 (Arcade/Dreamcast/Windows 98) offered 3ch Surround sound, the 2006 edition is only Stereo/Mono which is surprising on a 6ch Dolby Digital/Pro Logic II capable machine. About the game design itself, the depicted "fog" effect from DC Sega Rally 2, which was pointed to be a consequence of the use of "Windows CE" devkit, has been replaced by a heavy "clipping" effect. The team change is also noticeable within the car selection itself. Sega Rally '95 was introduced with Celica GT-Four '94 & Delta HF Integrale '92 World Rally Championship winner cars, being both Didier Auriol's french flagged cars, the Sega Saturn version adding Sandro Munari's hidden Stratos HF Gr4 WRC '77. Sega Rally 2 Arcade followed this path with four WRC '97 cars: Carlos Sainz's Corolla WRC, Tommi Mäkinen's Lancer Evo IV WRC, Collin MacRae's Impreza WRC, Gilberto Panizzi's 306 Maxi plus Ari Vatanen's Escort WRC '98 & Sandro Murani's Stratos HF Gr4 WRC '77. The original Celica & Delta from Sega Rally 1995 were hidden in the Arcade version. Due to it's "10-year Championship" mode, Sega Rally 2 Dreamcast had added a large number of cars to the ones already available in the Arcade. To be continued...
PART2 But, Sega Rally 2006 doesn't include Sega Rally 2 cars...
- Parts of that are really quite vague and can be seen as POV, hence my edits. Information needs to be factual and not of the speculative nature. Vic Vipr 00:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
