(Updated) Outrun Coast 2 Coast info

Makes sense, especially seeing the poor sales Outrun 2 had.

While looking over IGN's Xbox 360 game list... I did notice "Afterburner" listed, and being published by SEGA.

Well, i did see some demo/promotional footage of Sega showing off a new Afterburner game.

Even if the footage was bootleg quality, the sense of speed in that game was jaw-dropping.

They also showed "Sonic" and "House of the Dead" but...ehh..."Afterburner" wowed my jaded eyes the most.

Now it appears that Coast 2 Coast is an arcade release, and it will be for the new "Lindbergh" arcade hardware, whatever that is.

BUT, it also sounds like SP might still be in the works for either XBox or 360. Hopefully the original XBox, so I don't have to buy a 360 and a new wheel too. Heh.

Fun fact, my friend, after playing Outrun 2 at petes, came back 2 weeks later with 20 bucks in quarters solely for the game.

Guess what wasn't there anymore.

That figures. Pete's is always getting rid of stuff or having things break down. I wonder if maybe it got moved to the Lansing location...

In any case, at least Gameworks has the game. And they claim they'll be getting SP this fall. Someone let me know when that happens.

Acording to the employees, one of the outrun 2 machines wasn't working with the others, so they replaced it, that one didn't work either, and then the owner said fuck it and sent the whole thing back.

HMM...

The info was discovered here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/gen...topic=24406142

Note that Darthsol (the guy that actually works for Sumo Digital) keeps dropping hints about March, and has done so again in this particular thread. The EB listings claim a march release.

Let's just say I'm as moist as a 16 year old girl at a... oh who the devil do these kids like these days... Humphrey Bogart picture.

XBOX...

Thats all i needed to see.

So what is the difference between the regular "Outrun 2" and "Coast to Coast"?

XBOX... :D

Thats all i needed to see.

So what is the difference between the regular "Outrun 2" and "Coast to Coast"?

Well, if the rumors and insider info are to be believed, then Coast 2 Coast is a home version of Outrun 2 SP. So that means...

15 all new stages
Drafting in Outrun mode
Reworked collision physics
New cars
Improved arcade time attack mode, with ghosts saved for every individual stage along the way
Turbo Outrun music (WHOO)
New 15 Stage mode, where you race all 15 stages one after another
New Heart Attack scoring and goals

Plus whatever awesome things get thrown in the home version. For Outrun 2, that was the tracks from Daytona 2 and SCUD Race/Super GT, a dozen or so new songs, reverse courses, mission mode, the original Outrun, etc.

In other words, this has potential to be total Sega AM2 sex on a DVD.
