Rally Master Pro now preinstalled on Sony Ericsson Satio and Vivaz

[Peter]

Rally Master Pro, the benchmark for the mobile rally genre, will be preinstalled in a special high-quality Symbian version on the new Sony Ericsson smartphone models Satio™ and Vivaz™.

Starting immediately, the high-end 3D racing game Rally Master Pro will be preinstalled on the Sony Ericsson Satio™ and Vivaz™. Both smartphone models are ideal for games, thanks to the large display, 720 MHz processor, OpenGL graphics powered by Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR SGX, and touch and tilt support for controls. Those who already own a Sony Ericsson Satio™ can download the off-road racer from the Sony Ericsson PlayNow download shop for free from mid march on to tear up the track on asphalt, gravel, sand, or snow in classic rally style. Rally Master Pro on Satio™ and Vivaz™ will be shown to the public for the first time at the Imagination Technologies booth in Hall 1 at MWC in Barcelona.

Thanks to the high 640x360 resolution on the Satio™ and Vivaz™, the detailed landscapes and weather conditions in Rally Master Pro are optically better than ever on the wide-screen display. At the same time, the weather, track, and damage-dependent 4-point driving physics provide a distinct and realistic driving feel. With the unique, interactive replay, the last stage can be studied with numerous vehicle and TV cameras and individual sequences can be fast forwarded and rewound to reach the finish line with as few scratches as possible. In the adrenaline mode, the rally car must also reach the finish as undamaged as possible. In the game, the 3D damage model always allows an overview of the condition
of the car – the repair options can be used as a mini-game between the stages to get the car fit again for the next test.

‘With the two high-performance models Sony Ericsson Satio™ and Vivaz™, the Swedes seamlessly expand their leading position in Java gaming with smartphones,’ says Michael Schade, CEO of FISHLABS Entertainment GmbH. ‘Currently, the Satio™ and Vivaz™ offer the best game experience for Rally Master Pro on any mobile device.’

‘FISHLABS has been synonymous with high-quality mobile games on Sony Ericsson mobile phones for years,’ comments Sara Ponnert, Partner Manager Games, from Sony Ericsson. ‘The latest version of Rally Master Pro once again offers an outstanding player experience and impressively demonstrates the performance of our latest smartphone models Satio™ and Vivaz™.’

I have been Reading this earlier today, the Vivaz is a hell o an awesome phone, I have seen some examples of its HD video camera and it's stunning...

The satio meanwhile is also a great phone and it has an awesome screen and a powerful hardware... Looking forward to see how it runs on them..

I have seen a photo of "Rally Master PRO" running on Sony Ericsson U1i (Satio).
Stunning, it proves we still can compare Symbian and iPhone OS.

[Auster]

Well, we could even compare java with iPhone, the problem is that the phones supporting advanced graphics are not many, on the iPhone no matter what you have (1º, 2º or 3º generation) you will be able to play some cool games but a Nokia wouldn't be able to run such advanced graphics, I think...

That happen because the Satio has integrated the same graphic chip than the iPhone 3Gs and a faster processor, so it should be able to run enhanced content, moreover if exclusive like this one >.<

Wow, do you know if Satio and Vivaz will run the same identical version?
I know that Vivaz has a 720Mhz, Satio a 600Mhz CPU, will it run the same game version?

Thanks.

Although I am quite sure about it, there is nothing official said yet

I'm really impatient to see this huge title on my Satio.
I'm sorry but is this a JavaME game or a Symbian one?

On the first post I can read this:
"‘With the two high-performance models Sony Ericsson Satio™ and Vivaz™, the Swedes seamlessly expand their leading position in Java gaming with smartphones,’ says Michael Schade, CEO of FISHLABS Entertainment GmbH."

This means that this is a JavaME game?

[Auster]

The game is going to be symbian.

yes, this is incredible...
I have seen some videos on youtube about the Iphone version, it seems that
the gameplay is a bit slow, I hope to see a faster version on symbian

Excellent game, as always, every fishlabs title is a must have since the excellent JavaME product
that they released.
