errr i know its called Outrun Online Arcade, but whats the offline mode like? is it like the xbox/ps2 versions?

I wonder if real Ferrari's handle like this.

Pretty sure they do.

Yep because getting rid of compression artifacts gives a game free antialiasing, anisotropic filtering and renders it at twice the resolution, right?

If Sega released better captures, I'd happily use them, but no amount of whining about compression artifacts is going to make the game on the same level as a 3 year old PC port. That's outright embarrassing in my book.

voltron · (04-15-2009, 09:50 AM)

The different cars have no effect other than aesthetic right?

pswii60 · (04-15-2009, 09:50 AM)

Game looks beautiful. Totally nails the old-school Outrun vibe.

Definitely going to be a leaderboard race with my friends on this one :)

Quit your moaning and try the damn game, for free, before making a judgement.

Indeed, disappointing. I love the original arcade Outrun/Turbo Outrun soundtracks but the arrangements in this are piss poor. Would be nice to have the originals or euro remixes.

WOW! This game looks fucking SHARP!

wrong (EDIT: to clarify: differences in speed, acceleration, handling; nothing too complex, just those parameters, kind of like the different cars in early Ridge Racers)

so you guys playing the game, does it really look good / better than captures ?

and again, outrun 2 + c2c tracks or just c2c or a selection of both, or new ones or...

There is no offline career/mission mode, like the old disc-based games. This game is entirely focused on high-scoring for the leaderboards, and online play.

The leaderboards are:

- Outrun mode: Goal A, B, C, D, E, 15 continuous stages
- Heart attack: Goal A, B, C, D, E
- Time attack: Separate leaderboards for automatic and manual transmission, and standard/tuned cars (so 4 types of leaderboards for each goal).

Dabanton · (04-15-2009, 10:04 AM)

Oh shit son.:D

Surfheart · (04-15-2009, 10:04 AM)

Just echoing the above sentiments, this game just pops off the fucking screen!!! It's so smooth and colourful. Like having the most amazing arcade driving game in your own home but better!

Ok, now Daytona please Sega!

voltron · (04-15-2009, 10:10 AM)

Yes the actual game looks better than the screen caps do. Definitely.

Attack You · (04-15-2009, 10:16 AM)

Who would've thought Sega could make a good arcade game.

Lé Blade Runner · (04-15-2009, 10:19 AM)

Downloading as we speak. The original OutRun was one of my favourite games when I was a little kid ( before the Super Nintendo -era ). :)

ElyrionX · (04-15-2009, 10:21 AM)

I should be buying this. But, PS3 or 360? Anyone?

The question is: Achievements or Trophies?

Loving this =D

Don't stand a chance with most of the achievements, though!

S1kkZ · (04-15-2009, 10:45 AM)

did they lower the difficulty? the demo seems to be much easier than the xbox version, which is good for me :)

pswii60 · (04-15-2009, 10:50 AM)

360 for acceleration and breaking using the superior triggers.

well for a start, the xbla/psn port uses the arcade textures, thus looks better than the pc/older console ports

Chinner · (04-15-2009, 10:53 AM)

erm just a question, but how do ye powerslide?

The full game defaults to "Very Easy" difficulty so I'd imagine the demo is the same. I cranked that sucker right up though. I /LOVE/ Outrun and this is just hot, buttery, 60FPS smooth Sega Sex wrapped in a download.:lol

Never or just now?

Rummy Bunnz · (04-15-2009, 11:42 AM)

Agggh it isn't on the Amazon store! Anyone know when they update that thing? I hope it's up today.

Skilotonn · (04-15-2009, 11:48 AM)

Just got online, later than I wanted to, but hell - it's OutRun Online time! :D

And I can't believe some guy used IGN compressed pics to compare to a direct-feed grab when anyone with a 360 could just download the demo.

Whatever, downloading now!

john tv · (04-15-2009, 11:53 AM)

This is why I -love- digital downloads. Reckless impulse buys FTW!

Tap brake and immediately hit left or right, preferably in a sharp turn...

Beezy · (04-15-2009, 12:00 PM)

This game is crack. I've been playing for like 2 hours straight. Make sure to try a multiplayer race, it's fun as hell. If anyone wants to add me on 360, my gt is Ji3eezy. I'm going to sleep now, but I'll be on later today.

I've tried stuff like this but it never works. I just go down a gear instead, works brilliantly ;D

FISH FASH FOSH..... FISH FASH FOSHHHHHHHHHhh
:lol :lol

Was anybody else checking to see if their speakers had popped for the menu sfx? :p Would have liked some music and bling, blongs instead of FISH FASH FOSHHHhhh.

But game looks amazing though, really sharp, super fun too... I may have to pass though, I'm waiting to see what lode runner is like.

Sulaco · (04-15-2009, 12:14 PM)

Looks great but it takes forever to restart a race once its ended. Is the full version the same way? Hate that in a game.

I have a US credit card so I get the best of both worlds. Just played a couple rounds of Outrun -- silky smooth! Feels great. Love these kinds of games with the 360 controller.

Man, 1080p whores. Are you playing with your face 6 inches from a computer monitor or something?

It's set to very easy that's why. ;)

Ah, yes, sliding in Outrun differs greatly between using manual and automatic transmission: using automatic you brake slightly and using manual you shift down. That's why using manual gives a slight advantage in Outrun.

Like the hat? · (04-15-2009, 12:31 PM)

i wasn't going to get it with ExciteBots coming out next week, but for only 800 points (and using that 1600 points I got for 20 cents on amazon) I'm sold. Looks really good.

Oops, you have to let go of gas & tap brake then turn (brake: LT) - I told you that before even starting the match so I didn't remember it exactly...

Ah, there you go, didn't realize you were using manual till afterwards - well there's your answer for manual...

Alex Anderson · 01:20 PM

It's going to take me a while to get the 14'30" achievement for the Time Attack Mode... somebody's have to stop being a puss and learn manual transmission

*edit* Ooooh, automatic + tuned = this will be much easier. Later stages keep pwning me. I'm so rusty
