Original OutRun 2 had stricter penalties for veering offroad too, IIRC. Coast 2 Coast eased up on that a bit.

LTTP: Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast
- Thread starter Kart94
- Start date
One of my favorite games, will forever keep installed on my PC. The PC port is pretty good except for the removed bloom of the original OR2.
Yearp, Transformed is better in every way, it's really its campaign mode that massively makes me sway towards it. Mario Kart just has nothing on that end but the regular-ass 25-year old championships.

I agree. Sonic Transformed is my favorite kart -and arcade-style- racer of the past generation. I like Mario Kart 8 a lot, but Sonic is the better game. Am still looking forward to the Switch version, however, since it will have a real battle mode back again.

Not to derail the thread, but why is the Xbox version so expensive? Is it resellers inflating the market (again?) or is there some valid reason?
Also, is this available in the States? And different sizes hopefully?
Not sure if you were referring to me, but the unit in my pic is a Playstation 2 TV - the guts of a PS2 reside in the bottom 'stand'.

It's an old set and only was available in that size, best bet to find one now would be eBay etc.

If anyone comes across an inexpensive copy for PC (sub $20 PayPal including shipping to NYC), please PM me. Amazon price is straight up gouging and I'd rather deal with a GAF member than some of the Euro websites.

The Xbox version was released about 3 or 4 months after the 360 was released, and not many copies were printed if my memory serves correctly. It became backwards compatible with the 360 eventually, but scarcity is likely the main reason for its higher value.
I always thought it was a model produced for the Europe region in 2010 (?), but I could be wrong... and it was only in a single size (22 inch). The thing has more input options than the International Space Station!
Hmm. I didn't notice that. I guess it would make sense that they wouldn't make many copies for the console that was on its way out.
I'm going to have to recheck, but I'm pretty sure I saw that it was a stripped down HD-version of Coast 2 Coast. Give me a few minutes to make sure/ find some links or something. I might've heard about it in a video.

OutRun 2 in general is one of my favorite games ever! I'd say it's my favorite arcade racer, but I love the original OutRun so much too, I don't know. My least favorite thing about it is that I didn't know it existed until the Ferrari license was already dead and the OutRun Online delisted, so I'm stuck with the PSP version (which overclocked, is fantastic in its own way) and the OutRun 2 cabinet next to my appartment, haha.
I actually enjoy unlocking stuff in this a lot, OP, but you do you obviously. The game is fantastic either way.
Some posts here had me excited to look for the japanese SP version... but not slipstream?

it's my favorite thing about the game.If it's worth anything, I still prefer that version anyway. Better texture quality and AF, far closer to the arcade than 2006 ever was.

Great game and fun to blast an afternoon on. I haven't played it in ages. I still have my Xbox copy and I have the 360 version too
Wow. Today I learned that I really suck at these games lol. I can only get to the end in 2 if I put the difficulty on Very Easy. It's still a lot of fun though. Coast 2 Coast feels a lot more relaxing, I think, because I just know that everything I do, I'm earning "miles" for my next unlock even if I don't "finish"(the first thing I unlocked was the Testarossa)

IIRC, original OutRun 2 has some slowdown issues that show up every now and again, but has some exclusive content.
I unfortunately only own original OutRun 2 on Xbox and not C2C.

Yeah, I always have the PC port installed on my system too. Pretty sure the PC port is missing a few visual effects, but it still looks and runs pretty great at 60FPS at 4K resolution.
