Wow. Nice very nice.

Fake specs

 

[Raxel]

Daytona USA 2005? PLEASE LET IT HAPPEN!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Hmmm...unless EA and Sega have worked out a deal for the use of the NASCAR license, I don't think we're going to see a new Daytona for while.

 

[GigaDrive]

don't care about the specs. just please let Daytona 2005 be true. i pray it doesnt turn out like the Daytona 2003 rumor from a few years ago.

 

[levious]

thought these were proven false a couple of weeks ago? I don't get 7.1 sound for an arcade unit. Assuming there'd be an arcade full of sound flooding the room already... just doesn't seem like it'd be worth the effort.

 

[Culex]

Any particular reason a thread proven to be bogus is bumped?

 

[COCKLES]

How do those Xbox2 specs fare in comparision?

EA has nothing to do with it. hasbro had the liscence for the COURSE and thats the only tie to "daytona" that the game has. thats why the home version was copublished by hasbro interacticve.

I still can't believe people fell for that; it was beyond amateurishly bad.

 

[Deg]

Fake. Its wishful thinking.

you talking about the arcade hack?

 

[BeOnEdge]

outrun 2 on xbox was fake too.

I smell fake.

2GB RAM for the CPU!? WTF?
24 Pipelines seems next-gen, so I guess it could be true. X800XT and 6800 currently uses 16. Leaked Xenon specs point to 24 as well.

 

[BeOnEdge]

its rom based media. gotta store/stream those roms to somewhere or....something. LOL

No way in hell Xenon will have 24.

No way in hell Xenon will have 24.

If the leaked specs are correct, it's pointing to that. They could be wrong though.

Emphasis on "had"...Hasbro was one of three publishers that had the NASCAR license in 2001 (EA and Sierra being the other two) which includes the Daytona license, and since Sierra doesn't publish console games and Sega and EA aren't exactly best buds, Hasbro published the game.

That's all changed now...just over a year ago EA made a deal to become the sole owner of the NASCAR license in gaming, which I imagine extends to the arcade side as well. So if Sega wants to release a game named Daytona, they're gonna have to go through EA. It's as simple as that.
