At Long Last, #DRIVE Rally Brings Its Arcadey Style to PS5 This Summer

Those voices are soooo annoying!

No more ps4 version in 2026. That’s a bummer.
But switch 1?

I'll be honest I'd never heard of it till just now.

I love rally racing games though so consider me interested

Just hope that annoying sounding commentary can be turned off

Mad for some proper rally how’s that Assetto Corsa one shaping up.

Hopefully Super Woden Rally Edge isn't that far away as well.

Is this going to be F2P with all the micro transaction garbage like it is on mobile?

Blimey, those voices. Sounds like the cast of Futurama are on pace notes duty. I'm actually yet to find an arcade rally game that plays as perfectly as SEGA Rally on Saturn with the 3D controller, I'm not sure there will ever be one.

@SystemAddict asseto corsa rally looks amazing. One of my rally cohorts is currently playing it on his pc and he's constantly taunting me the rotter. The devs have confirmed the console versions are well into development so hopefully by the time it arrives the pc master racers will have beta tested it to high heaven for us.

This and Old School Rally just look boring to me. Wow they offer Rally and modern era 90s inspired, or fair artstyles, but the content is so boring I have no interest in them. I don't care for such stages or teams or other stuff and unless the driving or stages are fun or the progression is decent/event variety I don't care. With older games getting going I'm more relaxed about that sort of stuff but in the modern era I am more particular about it. That and I know 90s/2000s racing games could pull off interesting ideas/progression and modern ones just are boring and bland.

Too much nostalgia, not enough interesting content at all.

WRC 3 for PS3/360 is still my go to for best rally game campaign personally. WRC2 also but it didn't have the event/mode variety of 3.

I have bought up many of the WRC PS2 era games (I think I have all 5 of them, had PSP one forever, don't have the Colin McCrae games anymore but need to get them back, 2005 on PSP was unplayable for me), but WRC 2 to 4 were fair, 5 to 10/Generations were 'something' not that exciting really, they tried but just not as exciting as WRC3 was for me, then again i have played better Milestone games, Kylotoon do an ok job.

A few F1 of old like 98 or 2001, but mostly 2010s era onwards (not all) and a mix of MotoGP3 (had since forever), same with the 4, but 06, 08, 9/10, don't have 7 or 10/11, don't have 12 to 15 but have 16 and 16 was good for the Rally car/dirt bike as wow they controlled better and had better AI then the MotoGP bikes. XD No joke. Even Ride 4 was so bad of AI it was a joke.

Still MX vs ATV games or Pure or others were a lot of fun.

So trying annual ones, or other types has been fun.

But yeah I haven't played much of Sega Rally (the PS3/PSP era one) I don't have experienced with the Saturn game, but I know of it from arcade cabinets still in places like cinemas and such with the colour buttons and such.

Sega GT Dreamcast was fun and had cool ideas.

There is still many 20 years ago ones with more exciting ideas, sense of speed and artstyles, and i just don't see it from Indies other then Inertial Drift or Distance.

Thumbnail looked like Marathon Rally!

Nah, those voices and the music were both really annoying, and I didn't get much of a sense of speed from it. Not sure about this one.

This, and the excellent Super Woden: Rally Edge (completed it on Steam Deck but I’d buy it again on PS5), should keep me going until Assetto Corsa Rally appears!

I was tempted to pick this up via early access, but the co-driver voices put me off. Unlike the iconic voice over of SEGA Rally these were just annoying. Other than that I love the aesthetic and arcade vibe. Still, for £12 I might just bite...
