Well, it's not a sim. Almost looks like doing a Tuned Car time trial in Outrun 2 but without drifting. Or Trackmania Stadium. Still looks cool.

The cabinet looks dope, too. Love the speedometer and shift lights.

Looks good, sense of speed is great. I wonder who's the developer, drifting seems "heavy", more "western"-like.
 
"I would love to see a car list. Wondering if the Eva or Miku Mercedes are in, or that sweet Gulf Porsche."

Surely Sega can work a deal for the GOODSMILE car, what with making the Hatsune MIku games, though I guess it's more the Mercedes license that they'd need.
 
"Not really feeling that steering wheel though. GT cars should be driven with a, well, GT Type steering wheel :)"


That is a GT type steering wheel. Many GT race cars are now driven with that kind of wheel shape that you might associate with single seaters.
 
I was hoping it's a rally game :(. There's never too many rally games.

I used to play Colub Mcrae Rally back in the day by Codemasters. I'm really surprised that SEGA's arcade division is still working on new/classic titles. House of The Dead Scarlett Dawns is in the works as well as SEGA Driver Championship. I wonder if it's powered by the Unreal 4.

I’m watching on phone, but when I watched that first video, I genuinely could not tell if it was real live footage or videogame lol. Second video looks more gamey. Looks great!

Is that commentary part of the game?

Good point! I believe it is live commentary from within-game similar to VF5. It appears the game will use some networking infrastructure for custom player data, teams and leagues etc.

I do like the look of this even though it doesn't look as "arcadey" as I would really like it to.

Bump for Eurogamer impressions from TGS2018:

The handling is also a curious mix of real-world inspiration and Sega's arcade staples. This isn't about the big, lazy drifts of OutRun 2 or breaking traction dramatically as in Daytona USA - instead it's an approximation of real Super GT, where you're picking out braking points and apexes, albeit in a much gentler and faster fashion than you'd see in a typical sim. It can feel overly light at first, though it does eventually come together, with the cabinet playing its part. The steering wheel is beautifully weighty with a decent amount of feedback (even if it's hardly got the strength of a direct drive unit), and it's brought to life with details such as the rev lights on the wheel and the bright red LED readout. Tying that together is a ranking system that grades your performance on the fly, marking your overtakes, entry points and exit points all the way up to that coveted S rank. It's classic Sega through and through.
