Whatever happen to Daytona 3? Is that still a thing?
Looks like yet another 'realistic' driving game..how exciting.
Gimme arcade racers goddammit.
I actually have it on good authority that this is *NOT* live action footage, but actually in-game graphics. The only part that's live action is the part showing humans.
Sega racing game!? OMG, do want I miss their arcade racers so much.
Does your uncle work at SEGA?

It's been out for a while. I played it. It's good!
I wouldn't be so sure that's an H-pattern shifter unless they're doing Daytona style drifting here. It makes no sense in a modern GT car as they're all using Paddle Shifters. The article implies the cabinet will have paddle shifters and indeed you can kind of make out red paddle shifters behind the wheel in the cabinet renders.
In a parallel world, my brother does.
But in that world, we have console Daytona 2.
When's Outrun 3, fam?
Came to post this. Either they are leading up to it by getting their feet wet first or they haven't been able to get the Ferrari license I fear.
I do remember a Sega rep mentioning it was on their radar not that long ago though, so fingers crossed!
SEGA's road to 2020 initiative involved resurrecting dormant franchises, and this WDC game carries some new 'SEGA Drive' branding...
Not impossible.
Dude, there is no way that isn't real footage. The GTA copyright logo on the corner stands for the GT Association. That means it's footage shot for broadcast, I'd say.I actually have it on good authority that this is *NOT* live action footage, but actually in-game graphics. The only part that's live action is the part showing humans.

Yep:
Please don't fuck this up, SEGA...
Interested to see how this pans out, although I get an inkling this may be more F355 Challenge than Scud race. Someone really needs to reignite the old school race space and I'd love it to be Sega!
I do hope they don't westernise this too much and instead go all Japa-Kawaii in the out of race presentation with Super GT race queens in full effect.

So I assume then Sega are long past that stage when they used to be producing cutting edge Model 3, 4, 5 boards etc....and getting the likes of AM2 to produce some kick-ass arcade games....now it's just a case of using Unreal engine 4..
With Sega on board, I think that would make Koei Tecmo and Konami the only major Japanese console publishers who don't have at least one UE4 game in development.
I mean, if you look at major publishers like SEGA as putting investment to try and advance game technology obviously them using UE4 is bad because they aren't developing that cutting edge anymore.Seems like that. I never really got the excitement regarding engines anyway. Who cares whether it's UE4 or not? Your word, "just", nails it, in my opinion.
Model 3 is just a specialized computer. Unreal is an engine. they aren't mutually exclusive...So I assume then Sega are long past that stage when they used to be producing cutting edge Model 3, 4, 5 boards etc....and getting the likes of AM2 to produce some kick-ass arcade games....now it's just a case of using Unreal engine 4..

If you care about SEGA as a business and the quality of their games, the more efficient they can get their game development the better. There is not so much reason for every Japanese dev to bog themselves in making their own toolchains. This opens a lot more time and effort for making the games themselves. Of course UE4 is much better productivity wise than they in-house tools it's replacing which has in part contributed to the sort of JP game renaissance we are seeing. (partly triggered by Epic opening a studio in Japan allowing them to provide business support there)
Companies are already doing that in Japan using the HTC Vive in an arcade concept with ambient effects scents etc. The thing is that again you can use off the shelf hardware to make very nice experiences without bankrupting your company.Yep, unfortunately. That's also the reason why I used "ideally", twice. But I still think it can make a comeback, considering VR and considering Japan and their limited space.
/nuance/Yeah, that's kind of what I said.
They do? Damn, I missed that.Companies are already doing that in Japan using the HTC Vive in an arcade concept with ambient effects scents etc. The thing is that again you can use off the shelf hardware to make very nice experiences without bankrupting your company.

...but they could have even better experiences. Nah, I get what you are saying. I guess the final solution is to develop the perfect arcade VR .hack game.

Why are you not using quote button?"I dunno man... it sure looks like one (including the ridges it seems to slot into for each gear). As a 45 player online arcade game I can't imagine they're too concerned with realism. They've probably just opted to give the option for both sequential shifting with the paddles, alongside the shifter."
Yeah, it's certainly possible. I would agree that I doubt this'll be realistic and over the top drifting would certainly make sense with an h-pattern shifter. And I mean, look at the course map in the screenshot. Large, long sweeping curves, kinda begs for super arcade-y drifting.
This is all I want.It is an arcade racer. I mean, it's literally an arcade racer. There's no sim gameplay.
Of course it will. Who puts money against that?Who puts some money on this being released BEFORE 90's Arcade Racer/Super GT lmao
I want footage of this so badly damn
tbh online play has been a component of arcade games for roughly as long as it has been a component of console games. the reason these games are profitable (in Japan) despite being $1 to play is that a shitload of people will be playing.How does online play in Arcades work exactly? You'd think they'd want quick plays and I can't imagine setting up a race online would be amazingly quick. Forgive my ignorance but have there been online arcade games in the past?
BTW, I echo the sentiment of wanting this for a home release.
