The First Trailer For Daytona USA 3 Championship Has Been Released

Keith: It's years upon years since we've asked for a follow-up to Sega's best racing title of all time, Daytona USA. Sadly, after Daytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge

The game looks like a Dreamcast game in HD.

I don't see that as a bad thing. DC game is still fun to play. Hell even the Saturn version is fun as well.

[Hoffmann]

Yeah graphics are just graphics..but even Scud Racer back in the nineties looked very similar. It looks like something a small indie team of today could create with a relative small budget.

I hate playing NASCAR by EA but I enjoy this game, go figure. This really needs 24 player support online though

The days of extremely high end arcade games are long gone.

It's obviously meant to look old skool and arcadey but a few details give away it's modern roots. It's arcade only anyway. I wouldn't mind a home port though, let's hope they manage one in the next few years. It only took about 17 years to port the first Daytona USA properly onto a home platform.....

90's arcade racer was very much Daytona-ish in style and has been in development for quite a while. I'm still waiting on that one but saddly... it will not be on the wiiu anymore. It is still supposed to come to PC, PS4 and XB1 (i think)

[RonsonPL]

Those days aren't long gone. Last revolution (Burnout 2) was indeed in 2002, but in 2010 there was still pretty AAA-ish NFS:HP for example.
The genre is artificially crippled because of two things:
1. Publishers think they know what gamers want than gamers themselves. Classic RPG and strategy genre successes on Kickstarter, Yooka-Laylee and PS4 version of Ratchet in platform games field, prove that big publishers don't know shit about some genres and the demand for high quality games representing those genres.
2. Arcade games don't have truly "arcade" feeling unless the motion is 100% blur-free and you need a backlight scanning/strobing and refresh matching framerate, to get that silky smooth, crystal clear visuals. This is really an important thing for arcade racers. Without this, those games are nowhere near as fun as they can be, and that's often a difference between "I got bored after an hour" and "I was loosing most of the time, but enjoyed the game despite that and after 20 hours I discovered that the game has so much more for the patient players who have learned the tracks and handling very well, and now this game is not just very good, but awesome".
I can give you my word that this was always the case with me. I quickly get bored/frustrated if sheer pleasure of speed dosn't boost the fan factor. And with blur-free image, you can admire the speed while still being able to spot so much detail in the tracks. It simply is enjoyable to watch. That's why I have much more from playing GRID Autosport or Pure on 24" monitor with backlight strobing mode than from playing on a projector, and huge 100" screen is no easy opponent to beat. And yet the tiny screen wins, because even on hard corners I still feel that I'm traveling with incredible speed. On a typical LCD you just see a blurry mess, which pauses that stream of fun coming from just going fast.

I really expect that one day, genres that were artificially pushed back to "second tier" games, will return to their proper places, once displays used by majority are actually good for gaming. Not gonna be soon though, meanwile we are at times where industry faps to AA techniques which ruin image in motion (99,99% of gamers won't be affected since they use displays that cannot handle motion properly anyway, so they end up with 300p in fast moving scenes instead of their 2160p which they payed for.

World had a great technology for gaming. It was called SED (Canon) and FED (Sony) but some assholes decided that cheap crappy LCDs cannot be beaten and gaming doesn't matter, so the technologies weren't ever used to produce mainstream monitors/TVs. :/

Makes you wish there was a Dreamcast 2. If it is as fun as the outrun update that came out years ago that I got on Xbox, then that would be awesome.

[Concertoine]

Outrun 2 is a great game. Its a shame that games like this are so scarce these days.

[derkasan]

It's good that they're bringing back the original tracks, but it feels too plain. Where's the over-the-top stylings in the new tracks? I miss the slot machines and Sonic wall carvings.

[Yohshida]

FREAKING AWESOME!
Cant wait to play this gem.

[sadsatan]

i am a hardcore daytona usa fan. the look of the cars has left me sad. i would have loved the original hornet car with 4k textures and a full damage model. oh well, back to model 2 emulation i go...

[stonecold3]

[ocelot07]
