I caved too, and I'm glad I did! *so good gif*DonMigs85 said:
I'm going to be getting my second helping tomorrow on 360. On the bright side, I'm just using MS points that have been sitting in my account for a while. What punctuates the tale of my 24-hour-or-less double dip is I have PS Plus and still had like $2 in my PSN wallet. All told, it cost me $5.
I do have a gameplay observation... On normal, the best I could get on beginner after half a dozen or so tries was 8th. I dialed it down to easy and was in 1st by lap 3. Just a wee bit of a difficulty discrepancy, no?

I don't know if you replied before I edited my original post, but I do have an observation about difficulty. On normal, the best I could get on beginner after half a dozen or so tries was 8th by the end. I dialed it down to easy and was in 1st by lap 3. Just a wee bit of a difficulty discrepancy, no?Trojan X said:
Overall I'm really happy with it and feel good about buying it on both systems! The graphics are clean, frame rate is rock solid (and smooth), the sounds and music are all exactly as I remember them. The game is perfect as far as the port is concerned. I did notice minor pop-up on some of the more wide open vantage points (like the bridge on expert), but that's hardly a detriment to my enjoyment. I played the shit out of Daytona in the arcade, on Saturn both times, and later on Dreamcast.
This release feels like home!

3 tracks. Nothing else has been included. You can also play the same tracks in reverse. The game never been about content, its about driving perfection and multi-player insanity. This is what people are experiencing right now so don't lose out. If you lose out due to "numbers", then you're giving yourself an injustice as an gamer - go see WHY nearly every experience game developer and gamer still claim Daytona USA as the greatest racing game ever after all these years.

The difficulty ratio sounds right. Beginners track is easy by course design only and the Difficulty setting is based by AI difficulty setting and Timer. So yes, all sounds right. Ultimately, you need to keep playing to get yourself up to Expert difficult. You seen my videos, right? ALL of them are on the Expert difficulty setting and the only way to make it to first place is by you learning your vehicle handling and memorising the course.
So glad that you are loving the game.

I just did a "Quick Match" and was put directly into a game. Previously I tried to start an online game but there was no-one else online.
So I just sat waiting. Maybe people were downloading it still?edit: I also had to adjust the music volume level initially. It starts up at a "5", but I could barely hear it and had to crank it up to 9. That worked nicely.

Buying on XBLA tomorrow due to my lack of a PS3. Will buy on PS3 day one when I get it.

Not actually that important
1080p?
or 720p with 4x msaa?
I know, I know, but it's not out here yet. Climax's IQ was incredibly clean (more so on 360) even if 720p, hopefully it is similar here but with the extra power I'd expect 1080p.

Where can one the rest of your themes, m0dus? I remember looking at them prior to owning a PS3, but I have yet to actually move past the PS3's default theme.

what a port! lots of gameplay here. didn't try my wheel and pedals yet. i'll try them on the 360 version tomorrow.
i always get nervous with anything port these days, but this is super high quality stuff. i REALLY hope Scud Racer comes along! the energy this game gives off is still hard to match to this day. AM2 porting team is to be commended. this game needs no polish, no changes.
brings back so many great memories of my 12 year old self kicking ass, listening to the incredibly 90's music. even the great cutlass supreme on the daytona track loading screen.
"take it easy on the car"
hows the netcode? didn't try online yet...

Ok, I usually don't post much but I have to for this game.
This game rocks. It is just like the arcade graphically, albeit higher res and soooooo smooth. When I heard that this game was going to be coming to XBLA/PSN, I was elated but was concerned about the handling with a controller, especially after the DC version. I was so wrong! The PS3 controller feels like it was made for this game, that is how much they have it dialed in! I will be double dipping this game, that is for sure!
I just got a 360 this year and to me Sega has never looked better - Outrun, Virtual On, Daytona, Radiant Silvergun, Guardian Heroes, Afterburner Climax, Sonic Generations - this is the Sega I know and love. Please sega, bring on more Model 2 and 3 conversions!!!
Thank you Sega for my personal game of the year!!

Just finished an 80-lap online multi-player endurance race on the beginner oval track...oh man, good times!!! =) Everyone eating it on the Sonic turn one time or another...but with the rear boost everyone has a chance to come back. Was so fun, brings back good times playing it with peeps at the local Dave & Busters or Gameworks back in the day =)

I take it it's not up on the 360 yet?

There is. You have to put a code in to turn it off in the arcade version.luka said:

From what I saw the choices were only type A rear boost or type B tire wear and pit stop. Can you turn off boost?Sixfortyfive said:Weaksauce.
I'm sure as hell turning that nonsense off in my lobbies.
But for casual races, type A is fine...keeps it fun for everyone, especially for long endurance races...it's all good.

Aside from the increased res (HD) and lack of pop-in this version looks and plays like the original Model 2 arcade version. None of the problems of the Dreamcast version exist.
Damnit. We're considered EU by PSN standards so we won't be getting it for that until November, but we should be seeing the 360 one already. Have you tried browsing to the game to the letter rather than looking for it under New Releases? Sometimes it takes a while to appear there but can almost always be found when browsing all games.leng jai said:Guess this game isn't out in Aussie land on either platform

Omg this shit is arcade perfect (or close enough at least for a nitpicker such as myself), force feedback and all
G27 in the house BTW
:bow @ Sega
Now re-do Crazy Taxi like this, and put the offspring music back in. The current PC port on PSN is a joke.

Yeah that was most likely in the original too but wasn't as noticeable since it was in SDDonMigs85 said:

Interesting. If that's the only two choices you're given then it's exactly like the arcade version.GamePnoy74 said:
And if that's the case, switching it to type B for normal length races (8/4/2 laps) disables both the boost and the tire wear. Tire wear only kicks in for longer races on the original.
