For a game like Rallisport Challenge 2, which had a relatively small car list compared to modern games, you’re still talking over 20 manufacturers who would need to be brought back to the bargaining table with 15-20 years of price inflation in play. In addition, the status of some of them (cough, Saab) is now murky as to who you are actually dealing with. The second part of the minefield is music licensing, as alluded to earlier in this thread, and the costs there make the car licensing look reasonable by comparison. Can’t remember if this applies to Rallisport or not, but for any games that used popular contemporary tracks, it’s always the biggest hit to the re-release budget. Sucks, but the content that made racing games so realistic is what kills any chance of backward compatibility happening. [/QUOTE]
