IAAPA 2009 - Sega Racing Classic (Daytona USA remake)

[LarryBundyJr]

I got this on XBLA today! Luckily they put the Daytona name back on it!

[binnieb20]

see whenever the handling is good, the force feedback ruins it by making swerve to the left and right!

[adidas1984x]

is the music the same? and do they still sing the lets go away daytona song?

[550marcos]

hahahahah they left hahahah

[eric4013]

AI AND THIS IS A SEGA GO BACK TO LAUNCH NEW TITLES PINBALL What do you think YOU START DOING TOO pinballs??

[Tiamat583]

BAH!!!

I want daytona USA 3!

[RinKagamineFTW]

@Tiamat583 ME TOO!!!! :333

[Tiamat583]

@RinKagamineFTW

Since SEGA did not have the daytona license, I dont think its gonna happen...*sigh* Daytona USA 2 PE was a beastly driving game!

[RinKagamineFTW]

@Tiamat583 ikr!! It was AMAZING!!! :DDD

[HLM190586]

that's why it's called Sega Racing CLASSIC, it's not a remake, they just updated it with widescreen and that's all.

[MrCageman]

The guy on the left is handling the steering wheel like it is the first time he ever touched one :-)

[kieranmay]

is it me or did those guys just loose interest in this game? its nastalgic certainly and nice cabinet design but its just not the same without the name and the fact that its lower than expected graphics. sega should've made daytona 3 with the name secured when they got the chance

[theatarian]

@kieranmay When I played it I lost interest as well. I never was that big on Daytona and between the game showing it's age (despite the widescreen resolution) and there being a million other racers on the arcade market it doesn't stand out. At least the cabinet design is nice and that is being recycled for GRID. Otherwise I personally think that Sega Racing Classic was a total waste of time for Sega, arcade operators and players.

[kieranmay]

@theatarian I love daytona though but this still looks disappointing due to not being a proper sequal. Do you have any idea how the game has performed in sales adam?

[Tiamat583]

@theatarian

All it is is just a remake of daytona USA with HD graphics and without the license. nothing really special altogether. Daytona USA 2 will always be a true racing classic.

[dogalways]

I hope it will be on ps3

i saw it on ign

[DaveDiablo1991]

I've just play this one and honestly the steering is much more violent? as in it jerks around?

but all in all, its a classic game but in HD and widescreen...lol, here the game cost twice as much as the classic version...

[PinballBrendan]

I was at IAAPA and played on that very cabinet.

Sega doesn't have the Daytona license anymore and therefore couldn't include the "DAYTONAAAA" music... which in my opinion is a huge disappointment. It was too loud to hear if the other music was changed/updated. Graphically, it's almost identical to the original, except through an HD screen. The cabinets are beautiful and are probably the best part about this re-release.

Overall though, I'd take the original Daytona USA over this any day.

[schieese]

Daytonaaa

[33Dannyb]

Looks like those guys didn't want to be watched because they know they sucked at the game lol.

[2007excalibur2007]

A classic arcade racer in High-Def.

Epic.

And yeah, like wooterz said, those guys that are playing are Daytona n00bs, lol.

[starrisk]

eh... this is soooo 1992 with a new cabinet thats all....

[FieraDevilWings]

@starrisk - At least they bumped up the resolution on that thing.

But it would have been nice to update the graphics, too - if it's on Ringwide hardware and the title screen is brand new...oh wait, it's BECAUSE they lost the source code that they can't exactly make the game from the ground up again with HD graphics...

[wakkyvideogroup]

@FieraDevilWings BECAUSE they lost the source code they made exactly the same game with a few minor graphics issues. It is too similar - the loss of the source code is a cover up.

[gladiator766]

Hey! These games are still in my local arcade!

[BigDuke6ixx]

No cockpit view?

[FieraDevilWings]

@BigDuke6ixx - Buttons are on the left, as per the original Daytona. Yes, there is cockpit view.

[wooterz]

Holy shit, those guys that are playing are retarded.

[sharkonesega]

Nice cabinet:)
