I really hope there is a demo. Though I'm glad Sega is finally not being moronic (see: Outrun 2 HD) and is putting this on US PSN. >:|
There will be a demo on Xbox 360. Just have to wait a day.

Great, cheers guys! Sweeeet! :)
If you manage to buy one, please tell me how you dealt with the address and billing and all that, I'm pretty much stuck there....

OK I just ordered. Used my UK Egg card (soon to be Barclaycard!) and during the address section there is a "click here for international customers" link. In that there is a template address you copy and paste into the billing address section. For phone number I used 555-555-555 as my UK one wouldn't work and that was the example they had on the site.

Order went through fine (so far), but I am expecting a call from Egg any second to confirm it - they often do this with international orders which seems like a good thing to me :)

I'll let you know if/when my code turns up via email.


Excitement growing! Took this a while back, still play it on a regular basis. Not anymore if this version is good! Please be 60fps.

What time does US PSN get updated? 9AM pacific? I am hoping I can grab it tonight (and I hope it will work OK on my UK account). Might get inFAMOUS 2 Festival of Blood but I guess that wont work with my UK version of inFAMOUS 2 :(

So this version doesn't have the Saturn audio tracks in it? Only the arcade ones?

Just to make it clear to everyone. The beginner's course music on the SEGA Saturn and Arcade version are different:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDFRTgaovmQ - SEGA SATURN version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPFdCmNGzOE - Arcade version


When you play the game, the Arcade version sound infinitely better and more hyped to the race, and it was something I always felt pain about when I played the SEGA Saturn version when it was first released many moons ago. Thank goodness that the PSN and Xbox360 version of the game uses the original Arcade version music track as proven on this video:

Which one did the Dreamcast version have? Arcade?
 
I hope they are having the same control options as the Saturn and Dreamcast versions, Gears are mapped to individual face buttons. Allows for 4th>1st>3rd insta drift :)

The Dreamcast had own version, my friend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk57GF3kQ7A&feature=related


I think this version would be good purely as a bonus but not as a default for the 777 Speedway track music. The song gets really good near the end but you won't hear it unless you are playing in Grand Prix mode (20 laps), and the problem with the song is that its not loopable which is something I cannot stand from racing games of today because it makes it sound like a normal music CD playing in your machine.

I seriously hope for a button remap. On my Model 2 version, the mapping are set to the following on the Xbox 360 pad (everyone else should follow this too):

Steer Left = Left Analogue stick
Steer Right = Left Analogue stick
Breaks = Left Trigger
Accelerate = Right Trigger
Gear 1 = Button X
Gear 2 = Button A
Gear 3 = Button Y
Gear 4 = Button B
View 1 = Directional Pad UP
View 2 = Direction Pad RIGHT
View 3 = Direction Pad DOWN
View 4 = Direction Pad LEFT
Coin = Button SELECT
Start = Button START

WAT. Tell me you mean Left analog stick, left and right?!

Well spotted! Sorry, I'll make the correction now. It's the LEFT analogue stick that steers left and right.

Freaked me out too. Imagine playing any racing game like that?!

Part of me wants to try it for a laugh. It would be worse than one person accelerating and another person steering on the same vehicle. I am sure I've played a mini-game like that in a game and it was incredibly weird! :D

Festival of Blood is a stand alone game. You don't need inFamous 2 to play it.
 
The game is out today and tomorrow and I have to admit, I'm shocked at how low key this is. Hope interest picks up when the games online and being played..? (I feel like Sega felt the same with the launch on the Saturn all those years ago!! :( )

Look how far we've gone in terms of the home conversations of Daytona:

1st Attempt
DAYTONA USA, Sega Saturn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YUPo6hHlAs

2nd Attempt:
DAYTONA USA, PC (ignore the annoying music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4VkYq6tknQ

3rd Attempt:
DAYTONA USA CCE, Sega Saturn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUYpXBeHJdA

4th Attempt:
DAYTONA USA CCS, PC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j71a4uv0znc

5th Attempt:
DAYTONA USA 2001, Sega Dreamcast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxUMYuvvj-g&feature=related


Frankly, it makes SEGA looks bad when you think of the time-frame and the number of attempts.
 

Alexios

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Nothing wrong with 2001 if you reduce the twitchyness in settings. But yeah the CC stuff, what were they thinking...

Thought maybe I could download and fire this sucker up on my lunch break, but lo and behold, it's not up on the US PSN yet. :(

Woa really? I'm really surprised its not been put up yet, it'll be on the XBLA where I am in about 12 hours anyway so that 'day' extra to wait seems more like just a few hours at this rate..

When I couldn't find it, I started to think I was just looking in the wrong area. I went and searched for "daytona" and didn't get any results. I assume that means it isn't up on the store anywhere.

Guess I'll be grabbing it tomorrow then. Thankfully don't have to worry about getting more points in my US account because there's $12 left over from a few months ago.

Only ever played the Saturn version of this so looking forward to it.

I made each image in the OP link to a different song from the soundtrack.
They're all from the arcade version, but there's an Extras section in the game menu that we still don't know about, so maybe the Saturn soundtrack will be in there (though I still like most of the original versions better).
