Outrun Online Arcade

Ben Speirs · 04-15-2009, 02:57 PM

Just released today. I've been waiting for this since I heard rumours of a release, and it is every bit as good as I expected. And so cheap! It's worth the price just to hear Magical Sound Shower alone.

Haven't yet played a multiplayer game, but I've been waiting in a lobby for a good 5 minutes. Hopefully it's not like this every time, but meh, single player is just as fun if it is!

And damnit I suck at this, the Heart Attack mode is so hard >_<

OutRun2 SP HD

Lock please.

Sorry, checked the first couple of pages and saw nothing.

But is it worth locking this? The last reply on the other thread was last December, we might as well start another one.

Oh really? We had some people bump some old ass threads about games which were last posted in 2007....so no.

Haha alright, your call. Although it seems there's little discussion going on anyway =P

I don't want this to be locked, honestly. I'm just pissed that I can't play it yet because my Xbox is out to repair.

Ben Speirs · 04-16-2009, 05:55 AM

I tell ya, if you're going for the achievements you'll be there a fair while. Sega really made these tough >_<

4:30 in time attack just seems ridiculous! I can get 4:45 with no crashes so I'm stumped as to what I can do to shave off more seconds! Very fun though =D

I just played a bit of the arcade version last week during my overseas trip (@ Namco Wonderpark Plus in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong) and I can that this is no game to be underestimated with.

Also tried it in Macau with their super deluxe cabinets that took lots of the space (probably worth eight maximum tune 3 dx cabinets put side-by-side) and it is really sweet. If you haven't tried playing it, then I suggest that you do so ASAP (when possible)

I'm not locking this since this is the most recent thread about this game in the past 4 fucking months.

Don't backseat moderate.

Ben Speirs · 04-16-2009, 05:37 PM

I can't even BEAT the 15-Course Marathon, let alone get a certain amount of points under a specified time! I always get to the damn Milky Way and my drifting abilities just... stop existing.

Ashura96 · 04-16-2009, 06:47 PM

This is frankly a disappointing port. Some say that running OR2006 on Xbox with HD cables actually looks better, I don't understand why they cant get a direct damn port of a game that was made on Xbox based hardware (and later PC hardware similar to 360.) Also it only has the SP tracks, and not the 15 from OR2.

Edit: And people complaining of framerate issues? Those weren't even present in OR2 JP or OR2006 Xbox.

Goddamn American PS3 users are assed out. If any European PS3 users want to trade something for it hit me up for god's sake, I love this game.

Heh you can call it revenge for Sony landing a deal with Sega to have the Xbox version of OR2006 become fuck rare in the US, whereas there was an over abundance of the crappy PS2 version, and the PSP version, which is good for being portable and all.

1. Must pick MT Tuned F40 or Enzo (or maybe the 512BB)
2. Learn to drift in manual without braking.

Ben Speirs · 04-17-2009, 05:07 PM

I do pick the MT F40 and have learned to drift in manual, but I still peak at around 4:35 now. I'll get it eventually =P

I agree it was a bitch to find, but at least it was released for it.
