First Look: Wave Rally (PS2) must look!!!!!!
« on: May 31, 2001, 03:29:49 AM »


Nintendo’s Wave Race is widely regarded as the benchmark for water-based racing titles, but Eidos Interactive is hoping to up the ante with Wave Rally on the PlayStation 2. Adding credibility to Wave Rally is the inclusion of the official Jet Ski license, allowing Eidos and Opus Corporation, the developers behind the game, to throw in Jet Ski watercraft, Jet Pilot wet suits and other Kawasaki trademarks. At this time, Wave Rally is on schedule for a release in the winter.
“We are very excited about Jet Pilot and Kawasaki’s involvement with Wave Rally,” says Paul Baldwin, Eidos’ Vice President of Marketing. “When you think of quality, high performance and breakthrough technology involving personal watercraft, you think of Kawasaki and this will be reflected in the game itself.”
Wave Rally utilizes Opus\' \'GZWave\' engine resulting in ultra realistic waves and dynamic water physics enabling players to launch off rolling breakers and perform spectacular freestyle tricks. The game consists of various modes including, Arcade, Championship, Freestyle and 2-player Head-to-Head mode. Riders from across the globe will race in a number of diverse locations from the beaches of Florida to the fjords of Norway and the canals of Venice.









Considering the image quality,this game looks very intresting,wonder if there is amovie of it any where?
On the 15 of March 2002, i was going to leave these forums for good.
But on the 16 of March i realised i couldn\'t ever say bye to you guys, so i am staying here for good!

It looks nice, but Splashdown looks better imo. I want a movie to see how the water moves.
But it`s too early to make the final judgement on the two games.

The name is Wave Rally, but why are there no waves? ;)

HMMMM.  The reflections are great.  But on the last pic, it looks like the mans knees are breaking apart:)ha ha.  But overall I think it looks pretty cool, not any better than wave race64, but it looks cool.

Heh, as with WaveRace64, the riders look like c**p. What\'s this with all the jetski games all of a sudden? Weird.

Now I got 3 to choose from, and I don\'t think I want to be owning more than one of these titles.

[edit] Just noticed, there\'s a straight line going through thek water in the last pic. Looks really bad. Horrible. Scream. Panic. Grab what you can and run for the hills. Eek.

eh.. looks ok.. but its release isnt for awhile, so i think that they will fix things up a bit. so far the water looks good, i like how its NOT seethrough like waverace.

so far the best have with the best water is jet moto 1, (jk) :)

thats the beauty of the PS2 we now have 2 water games to choose from

So far Splashdown by Rainbow Studios looks to be the best water race game. This includes N\'s waverace

Is this from the creators from Wave Race 64? If it is all of them need a slap on the back of the head. Those are not PS2 graphics... nope...
