adamsappel Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Can I get a "Hell, yeah!"? Those screenshots look nice. I wonder if they've updated the flinging of the car's occupants with blood effects and rag doll physics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted July 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 I wonder if they've updated the flinging of the car's occupants with blood effects and rag doll physics? heh, what is it coming out on the Xbox or something? (oh wait it may be...lol) Seriously though, the game is looking pretty nice. Gamespot just posted a news story as well: Here it is: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/driving/outru...ws_6071463.html Sega's AM-2 team has today updated its official Japanese Web site with the first information on the tentatively titled OutRun2. The game is currently in development for the Xbox-based Chihiro arcade platform and will allow players to race in officially licensed Ferrari sports cars including the F50 and the 1960s Dino 246 GT--as illustrated by today's screenshots. A rough translation of the Web site suggests that players will be able to choose between realistic and drift handling styles, and also that the beautiful woman present in the passenger seat will play a far more active role in OutRun2 than in the original game--possibly making specific demands of the player concerning preferred routes and suchlike which, if met, will reward the player with a superior ending at the finish. According to the AM-2 site, the arcade version of OutRun2 is currently scheduled for release in Japan towards the end of this year. No console versions of the game have been formally confirmed at this time, but it seems reasonable to assume that at the very least an Xbox version of the game shouldn't be too far behind. We'll bring you more information on OutRun2 as soon as it becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnemaEms Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 What is the sequel's official name? Outrun 2: Going Down the Road? Outrun 2: Spittin' and Spinin'? -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Monkey Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 I think it looks pretty sharp. If their realistic mode is in the class of F355, I'll definitely pick this up (even if the game is just single-player). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 There is some talk that Sega's Outrun 2 which runs on the Xbox Arcade hardware, Chihiro, will be coming to the PS2 exclusively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 In what seems almost almost a big calculated, insulting slap in the face to Xbox gamers A well deserved slap as Kelley has noted. ...and yes I'm bitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Dumb question: was Outrun 2 ever formally announced on the Xbox? I know there were lots of rumours, stories saying it was coming & would be announced at whatever the next show at that time was, but I don't think I ever actually saw an interview stating it or a formal announcement.

Romier S Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Dumb question: was Outrun 2 ever formally announced on the Xbox? Sure wasn't. Nor was Virtua Cop 3 which is also based on the Xbox powered Chihiro arcade chipset. Being that they are based on Xbox architecture people automatically assume the games will be ported. (..and we know what assumptions lead to ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Heres some fun numbers I found whilst digging around: (sales are through October 2003, source is NPD)) PANZER DRAGOON ORTA 104,532 JET SET RADIO FUTURE 91,373 CRAZY TAXI 3 95,114 GUNVALKYRIE 90,251 HOUSE OF THE DEAD III 89,120 SEGA GT 2002 70,529 TOEJAM & EARL III 60,983 OTOGI: MYTH OF DEMONS 40,190 (Technically From Software but Sega published) Outrun 2 PS2 exclusive? I'm shocked. In fact I can barely control my ability to stay calm . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Jesus those sales figures make sobering reading, shockingly low figures.. just out of interest Romier can you get hold of the sales figures for SEGA's PS2 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy liquid Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 This is so disappointing. Obviously from those figures, I can see that Sega would want to have better sales. But if that's the case, why not release it for BOTH the Xbox and PS2? Why does Sega always want to do system exclusives? I was also looking forward to Virtua Cop 3, which I'm guessing will go PS2 as well. And being on the PS2 doesn't guarantee sales. Virtual On: Marz wasn't doing so well the last time I looked at the sales. Same with Gungrave and their ESPN games. I think ESPN Football was only a little over 100,000. Also, that number for Otogi is shockingly low! I thought it was doing better than that. I pray that if Sega doesn't bring Otogi 2 over here, that someone else will.

Beer Monkey Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Darn, I doubt they can do it in 480p on the PS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy liquid Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Darn, I doubt they can do it in 480p on the PS2. Or 5.1, or the same draw distance... Rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Geesh. 8 games and they barely manage to crack a half million units combined. That's just sad, but no totally surprising. Except for maybe Sega GT, they aren't really the types of games that appeal to the masses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 It appears that Outrun 2 may be making it's way to the Xbox afterall. Need to translate Preorder Outrun 2 trailer (right click and save target) Regarding the trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Cool trailer. Outrun has always felt like the definitive "cannonball run" game and this trailer seems capture a similar essence. Should be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
