Eh... they got sponsorship decals a-plenty, yet they can't pony up for the Mello Yello logo? I hope it's good, though, absent an XBLA port of Daytona USA/Sega Racing Classic, I'll try this.
 
I feel really old realizing this movie is almost 20 years old and that I watched it on the theaters.

Anyway, this is an odd licensed game; do americans really care about this movie?
 
Why? Just, why? I bet a good portion of these forums weren't even born when the movie and even NES game were released. :lol

is there an audience for this game? somewhere? :D

People like me who used to think Cole Trickle was the coolest guy in the world? :lol

I honestly can't see many people buying this. Even if you were (somehow) a Days Of Thunder superfan back in the day.
 
Would've been more interesting if it was Rolling Tunder or better yet, Lords of Thunder. :-/

I still love that film, got the Blu-ray the other day in a package with Top Gun.
 
I remember playing the original on Amiga. It was a piece of crap - the new version doesn't look like it will be much of an improvement.
 
Daytona lets go away!...... Sorry just getting daytona vibes.
If it plays anythink like daytona usa i will buy it.

Blue blue skies..........
 
The problem with this being a downloadable game without a big budget to do the game justice is that you can't pass on the outside of turn four.

After Burner Climax is coming soon! its sort of like arcade racing! kinda...like...almost...with missiles!
 
Some of you guys care wayyyy too much about graphics. It's a $10 at most $15 game, and it's not photo realistic, so what? Be honest: How many of you would actually want to play a photo realistic game based on a 20 year old movie. It has a style all it's own in this day and age, and I applaud them for it...

A style of its own means looking like an upressed 15 year old game?

Its style is way too close to a game that a lot of people are nostalgic for.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Anyways, re-reading the original article, I came up with this.

...and car customization, from spray and decals to performance tuning.

So we might get our Mello Yello and City Chevrolet liveries after all...

Except how easy is it to make a game as good as Daytona? Its real easy to recreate the graphics - and that is all a lot of developers would think you would need to do to draw in an audience. Hopefully I am wrong, if not I will keep on emulating the original arcade.
