Car screen v110

The standard appearance of the car selection screen, as seen in the PC version.

The Car Selection Screen is a part of Re-Volt's Frontend menu. This screen shows the player the available vehicles that can be chosen to play in the many tracks of the game. The Car Selection Screen differs in the PlayStation version, with a menu consisting of three blocks which can be scrolled horizontally to view the rest of the vehicles, and in the DreamCast version, where more boxes are added to the existing boxes, shaping the stack to a form of a pyramid.

Car Selection[]

Cars can be scrolled and browsed through by using the directional arrows on the keyboard or standard game pad. Controls may differ due to the different hardware connected or device, system or console. When a car is selected (using enter or any other command), its box moves from its position to the floor, then it lifts, exposing the car as a 3D rendering preview. This feature does not apply to the PlayStation port, for technical reasons. Once the car has been previewed, the Frontend menu shifts to the track selection.

Boxes of cars that are not intended to be accessible or custom creations (PC only) have on its front an image of a car covered by a white sheet and red question marks at the background. Cars that were not unlocked yet have their boxes covered in brown paper with a dark question mark printed on its front. These cars must be obtained with the required obtain method so that they will become available.

Trivia[]

  • In the original PC version or patched with the official Acclaim patches, there's a limit of how much custom cars can be loaded in the car selection screen. This limit can be removed by using certain fan patches or the TMMCC tool.
  • RVGL and newer builds of Re-Volt 1.2 contains a search feature where the user only needs to type the car's name to select it, without using the keyboard arrows.
