Well, you CAN drift with AT, but it requires braking so much it's not worth it.

Drive in MT, it's MUCH better (and faster). With MT you are able to slam the transmission into 1st (when driving at high speed) to start off a drift, then shift back unto 3rd and 4th to get grip back. Takes a bit of practice but it's the best way.

I'm still having trouble getting 1st place on normal. I even did an endurance race of 40 labs on advanced, MT.

Pretty sure both of these are in the how to play menu. Drifting in AT requires holding down both the gas and brake while turning, then releasing the brake once you're at the desired angle.Edgeward said:

Got past the rocket start challenge and completed the others on the advanced track. I only need to complete the last two on the expert track and I'm done with challenge mode.

do you guys feel the handling/control and drone care A.I. are the same as the Model 2 version?

It seems to be harder in survival mode, and the drones are more erratic than usual in online races. Other than that it doesn't seem different.Shaneus said:

I just did a 20 lap grand prix on arcade (the highest difficulty) on beginner, MT and got first place. Man it feels good.

Type B gameplay is so incredible. Really brings long-term thinking to the forefront. Do I pit now? Later? Never? I've known about this mode for a few years but have never really had the opportunity to make use of it much before now.
Just finished a race in which I elected to put myself 1 lap down at the halfway point to fix my tires. Paid off handsomely, as the guy who risked to do otherwise in order to overtake me ended up bouncing back and forth between the walls in the final few laps.

"the controls are kinda twitchy"
The way those guys were playing, you can't play like that on any driving game, especially GT and Forza which they referred to.
"I never progressed further than this one, man I never even saw the other two tracks"
You've confirmed that you are not good players and they never understood what the game was all about nor went out of the way to understand it.
"It's so hard.....!!!"
It's call DEPTH, Learning Curve and it's not that hard if they were more bothered to try. Not everything is instant but I remember seeing lots of 14, 15 and 16 year old school girls having a major battle on Advanced and Expert mode at the arcade and ruling the roost! Seriously, their skill level was great and they were school girls! I've also seen many people jumping on advance course and giving it a good go and always had a smile on their face from sheer excitement. Then you have these guys from Giant Bomb who makes such comments like they did. If girls can love and enjoy this game then why can't these guys who suppose to be people's guidance for all video game purchases, i.e. you got to be a good gamer and know your stuff.
"let's sing it! DAY-TO-NAAAAAAA!!!"
What's wrong with these journalists? Of course, not every game is for everyone but in this case, these guys base everything on "content" rather than gameplay! The amount of people that loves Daytona including those that's new to the game is huge! Heck, it's no wonder certain games doesn't sell when you have people like these guys and OXM.

Back to the Uncharted threads with this kind of thing, please.
Hmmm, I checked Top Downloaded (which is actually top sold...don't know why they don't call it that) on 360 and Daytona is currently getting its butt handed to it by lots of games, I think it is #7 or #8, right after World of Keflings ... but still... it's listed as the first game in new releases, I expected it to sell better...my psychic powers are predicting 10K to 15K range each on XBLA and PSN, that's not enough to warrant Sega to continue to do this for other games. I was hoping it would be more like a 100K long legs game, but the sales chart is worrying me.
People need to hear the truth in Trojan's voice, this isn't about clearing a few achievements, Sega arcade games and even many of their console games were always about perfecting your artform. It's always been that way. When I was younger I didn't appreciate it as much as I do now.

100k is a big milestone for XBLA games. If it does 50k it should be good. Couldn't of cost that much to port.

My review is up: http://www.extraguy.com/2011/10/daytona-usa-review-rolling-start/
Tried to go in a different direction instead of the usual "omg this is so great". Dunno if it worked out.

Pretty good write-up.PepsimanVsJoe said:
If I could nitpick one thing, it's that Daytona actually does have rubberband AI, but you'd never notice it unless you went out of your way to look for it, so it's not exactly a big deal. (Put yourself a lap down at the beginning of a longer race, then try to catch up. It shouldn't be that hard to do, but after obtaining the lead you'll probably never stretch it to more than half a lap over the next opponent, no matter how hard you try.)

Hmm. I was thinking of more recent games where the second place AI is always one or two car lengths behind you.
Making a quick and dirty edit now.

It's not like your point wasn't still valid.
Like I said, you'd never really notice it in this game unless you seek it out.

could someone explain how i get upto 8 players in an online race. I looked back a few pages but couldn't fine it. I can only get 2 players at once. please help. thanks.
PepsimanVsJoe said:
How about Ridge Racer 3DS where in the harder difficulties you will always be repassed, always. Your'e only hope of winning is passing on the final straight and hope to god a triple nitro is enough to keep you in first.
Anyway started playing Daytona last night. Still very fun.
PepsimanVsJoe said:
Great job with the review! It's really good and well covered. I hope this review gets documented on Metacritic.
This is what I'm talking about. If you are going to review a game, make sure you understand the game you are reviewing and know the levels plays required before critiquing it. OXM (http://www.oxmonline.com/daytona-usa-review) review really screwed up Daytona USA's metacritic score thus dropping the appeal of the game. As far I'm concerned, that's a massive crime for the Tetris of driving games and spell-out how journalist want their games today, content, content, and more content and nothing more. Pathetic.

Give us a walkthrough of exactly what you're doing. You said that you are only able to get 2 players, so I assume this is 2 players when you select the multiplayer mode, right? What version are you using, PSN or Xbox? When you detail your walkthrough which eventually lead to the problem then we'll give you some further ideas or a solution.
KennyLinder said:Outrun 2 is amazing and it's the evolution from SCUD Race and Daytona USA 2. The gear-drift mechanic was tuned and smoothed with each version and Outrun 2 is the easiest of them all. Outrun 2 is absolutely beautiful too. I remember when a friend and I called a sickie at work when it arrived at the Troc arcade in London and we drove 180 miles just to play it. Amazing times
Shhhhhhhhhh!

That would be nice...but it won't.
The requirements for making it on Metacritic are all over the place.
I forget how it goes exactly. You have to do X number of reviews for big games over a short period of time, and have to hold that consistently for however long.

Ok peeps. I've started a new series called VERSUS BATTLECAST. It's basically a show where we pit the best of videos games, consumer entertainments and other exciting products against each other. In every episode, we'll showcase every contender in its best form and leave you, the viewer, to decide which one should take the crown as champion. The next batch of episodes will hopefully feature some model 3 games. Also, I'll start working on some VO and then, eventually, filming.
The best part for us gamers is this, EXPERT GAMEPLAY ONLY (though for Ace Driver Victory Lap, the game got extreme sensitivity issues where a 30' degree turn occurs from moving the steering by 1mm turn which is absurd. Also, Ace Driver is all about precision racing where your speed will be lost if you don't stick to your racing line and turn smoothly:
VERSUS BATTLECAST - Episode 1
Enjoy! Oh, Daytona USA will come too.
