Yu Suzuki may be entering the twilight of his career, but many of his most famous creations will doubtlessly endure for years to come. The latest example of this comes in the form of OutRun Online Arcade, Sega's downloadable entry into Suzuki's original Ferrari-obsessed arcade racing franchise.

Sega today announced that OutRun Online Arcade would launch on the Xbox Live Marketplace next Wednesday, April 15, with an asking price of 800 Microsoft points ($10). While the game is an Xbox 360-exclusive title in North America, it will also be arriving on the European PlayStation Network next Thursday.

Like the original, OutRun Online Arcade is a race through a variety of 15 US locales with branching routes. In keeping with the series' fixation on a specific brand of fast cars, OutRun Online Arcade also features a selection of 10 different Ferraris. As the game's name suggests, online multiplayer races will also be included, with support for up to six players per match.

Sega's partnership with Sumo Digital has extended beyond the OutRun games. The publisher also enlisted the Sheffield-based studio to produce Virtua Tennis: World Tour on the PlayStation Portable and this year's multiplatform Sega Superstars Tennis.

It's only 800 points/$10, quit bitching.

Will probably get some more Japanese "points" so I can get the PSN version too.

Getting a AAA in Heart Attack Mode may take a while, but the others are achieveable.

This game is even cooler than Fabio's role in the seminal 1990s action show ACAPULCO H.E.A.T.

Did they not associate the entries with a given gamertag? I'd have guessed they'd learned their lesson after that Ford fiasco. Didn't one Evilborean get like 4200 points out of that Ford web promotion before they linked it to "single win per account"?

Fuck it, I'm buying this. I hope the amazon store has it up asap. I have no points.

Edit: At what time are games usually up for us to buy?

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #19 on:** April 14, 2009, 10:30:55 PM »

I think it's like 4am.

How many of you had the last-gen version of this game? Is there a good amount of content?

This game is designed to be replayed over and over and the fuck over again, so don't worry if it's just the arcade/versus modes, that will be plenty.

The home versions have extra modes of play like heart attack (impress the girl with you by fulfilling driving conditions), time attack, and a mode where you can play through all 15 courses in a row.

All I hope that makes it into the XBLA/PSN ports is the arranged Euro Remix versions of the music. The default BGMs are so laughably AM2-AWFUL. If not it's custom-soundtrack time.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 14, 2009, 10:55:48 PM »

I had both. There's not a great deal of content, but I'm not sure if the heart challenges are in or out. But for 800 points you won't find anything better.

Yes the Euro Remixes of the songs are tremendous.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #22 on:** April 14, 2009, 11:03:24 PM »

Yea it has the heart modes and stuff, I was just wondering if those were a 5 minute diversion or a full fledged mode.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 14, 2009, 11:52:08 PM »

Just a diversion, it's more of a training mode. But it's Outrun so it's still fun.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #24 on:** April 15, 2009, 12:28:49 AM »

I wish they had all the maps from C2C.

Plus the AMAZING Daytona 2 and Scud Race tracks

((

Oh well, 800 points whooty woot

pilonv1 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 15, 2009, 12:33:23 AM »

I would pay another 800 for those tracks

still awesome

Demo lets you play main game, one car, one song, no time extensions. Framerate is smooth, game looks nice, I'll probably end up converting when I feel like adding points to my account.

Oddly enough, spellings are in British English, "colour" and the like.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 15, 2009, 05:08:24 AM »

Well Sumo Digital are British. And it's the correct spelling.

I forgot how to drift ^^;

I only cleared it with a few seconds too. I didn't even finish my first run at hard

Awesome you can search for online races by nationality.

Poor Kiwis are put as Newzealanders

Bebpo · « **Reply #36 on:** April 15, 2009, 05:54:34 AM »

Is the best way to drift done by letting go of gas, tapping brake, turning, then stepping on gas when you come out of the turn?

pilonv1 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 15, 2009, 05:57:49 AM »

Yeah thats it. You can also steer through drifts

should of bought points from zune.net. you can get 400 point increments there

Bebpo · « **Reply #44 on:** April 15, 2009, 01:15:32 PM »

So like, is there any reason not to drive in manual? It's not like you ever really need to change gears once you get into 6th. Even when powersliding I still come out in 6th gear 90% of the time.

I'm starting to get back in the groove of sliding. Man this was such a great game. For $10 it's a steal.

Rman · « **Reply #45 on:** April 15, 2009, 01:46:16 PM »

Downloaded the demo. First time playing this game and I'm pretty impressed.

archie4208 · « **Reply #46 on:** April 15, 2009, 02:01:52 PM »

We should do an EB Outrun game sometime. I'm sure at least 6 people here bought this game, right? The timezone thing might make it iffy, though.

Beezy · « **Reply #47 on:** April 15, 2009, 02:28:34 PM »

I haven't come across any glitches at all in the 2 hours that I played, archie.

I'll probably be playing this most of the day. I thought I was doing okay earlier, but I found out that I was playing on very easy. I also fuck up when coming out of drifts sometimes. I don't know how to end a drift properly.

Ugh at the online. When my 1st race started the player in front of me decided not to drive so I was stuck behind and couldn't move. Then on the 2nd race the road somehow disappeared on me and I got stuck in an abyss. 3rd race went by fine but the 4th had me stuck in the abyss again . Hope they get this fixed soon.

No idea; it comes with the Japanese version of Coast 2 Coast (which they didn't use and went with the arcade name Outrun 2SP Special Tours) on PS2. The name of the CD is "Outrun Sound Tracks -Complement-." You might want to try asking for it on the forums at Galbadia Hotel.

They do have a rip of the OR2 soundtrack with the Euro remixes: http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/748

pilonv1 · « **Reply #57 on:** April 15, 2009, 09:10:24 PM »

The C2C soundtrack rules. I have a copy of it somewhere, the Euro remixes are awesome, magical sound shower with horns

Bebpo · « **Reply #58 on:** April 15, 2009, 09:24:50 PM »

I must be the only one who tunes out the music in racing games. I have no idea if it's good or bad, I can't even remember it. I'm too busy concentrating on the next turn. The only time I notice it is if I'm doing laps on the same track and I have the track memorized and it's just doing the motions and not really taking my full effort.

In rpgs when I'm sitting still on the battle screen figuring out what menu to select next I notice the music playing. But yeah, in action or racing games it's all an audio blur.
