Sega Racing Studio was a *brilliant* team, and closing it was one of the most inexcusable things modern Sega has done. It's sorta difficult to appreciate this juggling of the remains, when it's a reminder of the talent they let go.

Well that's the main benefit of this thing anyway. Sega Rally (Revo) is readily available, but fuck all play it online. That was the case even when the game came out because it doesn't have a damage model and a bajillion cars in it so nobody really gives a toss.

On XBLA though things come into focus better, and if people buy stuff on XBLA they're no strangers to online. That was technically the good thing about Outrun Online Arcade, but it was a vastly inferior version to Coast 2 Coast on the Xbox both in terms of performance and content. The difference there was that Outrun 2 wasn't available for the 360, and Live support for old Xbox titles was shut down, actually lending the XBLA version some additional purpose.

I bet Sega Rally will be stripped down from the retail release too, but the boon is certainly that you'll find people to race on this.

It's just that flaunting the game again just kinda brings back hopes and dreams from when Sega put together Sega Racing Studio, a hugely ambitious team consisting of ex- Colin McRae and Rallisport Challenge dudes that developed their own tech for Sega Rally initially, to be used for other classic Sega racing IP eventually. Sega Rally didn't sell at all, and it's way too naive to actually work as a proper retail release now for prior stated abitrary numbers and content reasons, but it was nevertheless a hugely disappointing thing that Sega shut SRS down. They really *got* the arcade sensibility of Sega, too. :(

I know lots of those people ended up at Codies, but I suppose the tech is stuck in limbo, and so are those planned Sega revivals like Hang On and Daytona.
