Looks like a quick and dirty Dreamcast port to me. :/
I figured this all along. Sega takes the quick and easy way out.
If they had just given us an arcade perfect port of Daytona 2, I'd pay $20 without hesitation. I won't be buying this. Not even at $10. Same thing with the Crazy Taxi port. Do it right, or don't do it at all Sega. :|

This version is pretty much how I remember the original Model 2 arcade game. Its not like the DC version at all.

God i hate Sony and their inability to often release games worldwide at the same. Get with the times and have one certification for all markets. If MS can do it, Sony should too.

Yes, I watched the video and it looks exactly like the Dreamcast game to me.

Sure, they show similarities as they are both Daytona USA perhaps? But they are different. And the biggest issues people had with the DC version were its controls that didn't feel right. This same complaint also went for CCE on the Saturn.

Oh man, I can't wait for this game to get terrible reviews because the "game is dated" and there is a "lack of options for tracks and cars." It will be grand seeing how many reviewers don't get it.

You're right. I watched and compared again. It does not appear to be an exact port of the Dreamcast version.
But still, why not port the version of this game that everyone really wants? Daytona 2?

Well, I figure Model 3 emulation isn't there yet. Or they're just saving it for later. If they start with Daytona 2, the first game would be a hard sell.
But from what I remember, Daytona 2 wasn't a great success back then. A lot of people apparently hated it. I didn't see it around that much.

I hope so. I think Model 3 graphics are still among the most beautiful out there. Ofcourse technically surpassed on most levels by now, but the visuals were really something. They were games, still far from reality. Colorful, clean as fuck while at a sick framerate that never lets down.

Daytona USA 2001 was a game that sold by name only, and I'm afraid that it was never a game to admire nor wish for it to be ported to any other devices no matter the shape or form. The only things that was good about the Dreamcast version were National Park Speedway and Mermaid Lake courses (though there were hardly anything memorable about those courses other than the big dip and so on), and one of the new music tracks such as Rin Rin Rink and the remixed "blue blu Skies". Otherwise than those, the game missed the magic that made Daytona USA so incredibly successful. In fact, I knew many people that actually replaced the sound-fx with the arcade's sound bites and stuck to playing the original Daytona courses.
Its a pity, because I was there when SEGA originally announced Daytona USA 2001 (it was in a massive theatre/cinema in London in which they showcased a host of Dreamcast games on the big screen. When they revealed Daytona USA on that screen, people screamed the cinema down like they have all won a million £$) and the reception for the game was huge, but the actual game was a massive let-down so no body wanted to talk about it after game release.

Because, like Super Gt/Scud Race Daytona 2 is a crappy racing game. It really is. It feels nothing like Daytona 1 and nothing like driving a car, let alone a stock car. Even Daytona 1 has awful vehicle physics but still feels more like driving and is fun which is why people still play it in arcades today. Daytona 2 in the arcade was a total missed mark and, generally, people who loved the original didn't like the sequel near as much.
I actually hope that Sega can bring all their arcade racers out so people can finally accept that some of them, for all the pretty looks at the time, were not fun to play.
Warm Machine said:
Speak for yourself. I'm playing SCUD RACE, Daytona USA and Daytona USA 2 right now and I cannot believe how incredibly well these games play. They remind me why these games are so magical to put SEGA on the top of the world during the arcade gaming era. The fact that they are over 15 years old and still provide me with more satisfaction than MANY of the racing games released today is saying a great deal! It's unfortunate that you will never understand.

I love Daytona 2, its one of my favourite arcade games ever. But I can see why some people didn't like the game. Daytona 2 indeed didn't feel like the original and Daytona 1 was considered to be the best arcade racer ever made.
The tracks of Daytona 2 were as if being made during an LSD trip, especially the amusement park one. The game was oddball but I loved the tracks to bits, they were original and daring. The game was a blast to play during those drunken nights, and then seeing that ship hovering above you...
And the graphics were nothing short of amazing back then. The effects the game threw at you were great. I ended up liking it more than the original, because that game began to feel so tame compared to Daytona 2.
As for Scud Race I gotta say I never found it to be that great outside of the graphics. The real life cars were nice I guess.

I'll tell you the ultimate reason why many people didn't like it. It's because they didn't know that selecting the PROFESSIONAL car is the one that handles very close to the original. The handling for the other two cars were not the same and handled confusingly. In general, those that knew about this were the ones that went crazy about the game and I was one of them. Daytona 2 IS the true sequel to Daytona USA, and playing the game on Grand Prix mode unlocked the need for the player to use the Pit-Stop due to tire-wear and all the CPU AI vehicles want to knock you off the road and explode into flames when they can't handle themselves properly. Insane.

ElSemi? Yeah that would be awesome. If not just for this release of Daytona USA, but also because it would add probability to any future releases of other classic model 2/model 3 games, including Daytona USA 2 and SCUD (both of which are amazing videogames).
Still, even if Sega's working with him, I want AM2 involved in this

Sorry if this has already been answered but will I be able to use a Fanatec Elite on PS3 for this?

Unknown as of yet. Announcement states:
The fact it says "all Xbox 360-supported wheels" but specifically mentions the Logitech GT for PS3 makes me think they're not officially supporting other PS3 wheels...let's hope that's not the case (have a G27 myself)
An arcade perfect port of this has been 17 years in waiting, though I still love to play the Saturn version from time to time it did look ropey as hell. The Dreamcast one was fun too but the controls were really twitchy and not like the arcade one.
This + Sonic CD + Guardian Heroes (so long as it also comes to PSN) makes me very happy with Sega right now. They are really putting some love and care into these ports unlike those sloppy backbone Mega Drive releases.

Daytona's freaking 'A I got a Saturn recently and whenever I have access to it (didn't take it with me to uni) I keep coming back to Daytona and Sega Rally a lot. Something about those games, they have the handling and sense of speed nailed down. Even with only three tracks they're more replayable than the majority of racers out there.
Though obviously the Saturn port doesn't hold up too well visually, heh. I hear the Japanese version of Daytona: CCE on Saturn fixed all of the problems in the western version?
