Wow I hope the do release this on the 360. I really did like that game, I even have it on my Dreamcast. I can't wait to see how the hi-res graphics look.... NOW IF SEGA WILL ONLY GIVE ME A FUCKING NEW CRAZY TAXI!!!!!! Sorry for that shout, I have been asking for a new Crazy Taxi since the 360 first came out.
Dut dutut dut dut dut dut dut duduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu DAYTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONA! I remember being blown away by Daytona in arcades when it came after Virtua Racing. I played that game to shit on the Saturn. You could put the Saturn disc in a CD player and listen to the entire soundtrack. I remember being completely blown away by that.
Here's the guy behind the music Takenobu Mitsuyoshi having a silly jam session with the most amazing percussionist I've seen live, Rony Barrak.
Confirmed by videos on 1up.com today. It is literally just a port of the original Daytona, minus the Daytona name & music. Higher resolution, but they don't even have texture filtering going on.
So basically a really inefficient port of the original. Maybe they'll port it to XBLA / PSN cheap.
Gah, not even fixed pop up or anything. Why the fuck waste such semi-powerful hardware on it? I doubt they'd port it on consoles as it could take from the arcade release, at least in the region those still matter. I guess it's a replacement for the old cabinets (new looks good), but it's baffling they see enough demand for Daytona and instead of building a sequel or remake they do this... I'd rather play my DC if I had a wheel... Three Seven Speedway Dinosaur Canyon Sea Side Street Galaxy vs Dreamcast Daytona USA 2001 (not a great player but one of the few vids with just about decent visual quality there):
(I know some people dislike the controls on it but, imo, with a bit of sensitivity tinkering they're spot on and feel great!)
I may pick up a wheel, it's the one peripheral I don't own on Dreamcast, and I do own a few racing games including Daytona. It's always been over priced though.
Sounded great at first but I'm hearing that they've removed a hell of a lot of content, the music made the game for me and I've read that it's been removed for something different;
