E3 06: Sega Rally Revo races to next-gen systems

The Sega Rally series is set to tackle the tarmac again next year when Sega Rally Revo is released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The company's newly formed Sega Driving Studio is developing the game, which Sega promises will have dynamically deforming track surfaces that react not only to the weather, but also to the competitors' tires driving over them.

The game will offer a range of 4WD, 2WD, and classic vehicles to drive around many types of courses, from littered gravel tracks to paved all-weather roads and snow-driven trails. The game will offer single-player and multiplayer split-screen modes, along with online play and artifical intelligence that adapts to track conditions.

Expect to see more coverage of Sega Rally Revo from next month's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, California.
