Outrun 2 is coming!

KICK ASS, yo.

 

Wasn't there a sequal to outrun in the arcades? *think*

Edit: Super Outrun?

 

I think you're talking about "Outrunners"

In any case this a "true" sequel.

 

Ahhh that's probably it, think I was mixing the names up with Super Hang On or something.

ps : which part of Mass are u from?

 

Turbo Outrun

 

Is this going to be the first game on the Chihiro board I wonder?

 

You seem to be painfully unaware of a game called Virtua Cop 3

 

Pervious Chihiro titles:
The House of the Dead III
Crazy Taxi 3
Virtua Cop 3

 

Sod-it, why can't Sega release some new cutting-edge arcade hardware for their premier arcade releases. I'm tired of walking into arcades and seeing games based on home-console derivative hardware.

I'd was hoping Outrun 2 might appear on the rumoured Naomi 3 board, that will more than likely outperform the current crop of consoles considerably.

I'm a firm believer in the theory that the arcade industry will only recover when decent money is spent creating new high-powered boards. I remember as a kid walking into the local arcade and seeing Space Harrier for the first time - it blew me away with its over-the-top cabinet and visual extravagence. Thinking about it, if Space Harrier was coded using a speced-up Commodore 64 arcade board, I wouldn't have bothered making the trip, no matter how good the gameplay was!

 

Nowadays, home console technology is so advanced that it really isn't financially wise or viable for both arcade arcade producers (Sega mainly) or arcades (a business long-ailing who greatly benefits from cheaper hardware with easy-to-change games) to spend shitloads of R&D resources making "the next big thing." In fact, the biggest money-maker for arcades in recent years has been the Naomi hardware - and it's still going strong.

But you sound like you're impressed by a pretty cabinet. Go find a deluxe version Virtua Cop 3 - it's enough to make you wet yourself.

 

Long time no see outrun!!!!!!!!
Ohisashiburidesune! /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /versus/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Suzuki-san is gone!!!!!!!

That may be so, but the arcade industry has also been in rapid decline over the last few years. I'm not saying most arcade games should use high-end boards, but a few games that really blow the punters away would do allot to get people back in the door I think.

Virtua Cop 3 is the kind of game I'm talking about. I played it when I was down in London and was not impressed. Pretty average graphics and slow gameplay.

there was also outrun europia (sp?) which sucked hard. seriously tho, kudos to sega for bringing back old AM2 memories.... after scud race, i don't think AM2 has ever been the same again for making racing games IMO.... (and yeah, i even mean daytona2 & ferrari..)
