Release it on PC and consoles and I think it would earn a decent amount of money for Sega for very little effort. I don't see any reason why this and HotD:SD can't be released for sale for the PC (I won't even use the word "port" here, since they are already running on the PC). I like that you let the gameplay speak for itself for a couple of minutes, but would have liked a bit of discussion of the new tracks (I understand there are 3 of them, plus remastered versions of the 3 originals). Daytona 3 looks really nice, but it's nothing special from a purely technical standpoint (same with HotD: Scarlet Dawn). The first two Daytona's really were technical marvels in their day (especially the first one), but I can't remember the last time any arcade game really blew away contemporary console/PC games like those did. House of the Dead got a new release too (Scarlet Dawn), and although the reviews were good for that one as well, it too isn't really talked about. I'm not sure that it's too surprising that hype for the game died down so quickly, it is just an arcade game after all (which sadly doesn't count for much these days). Definitely an improvement even if some of that "arcade hardware magic" has been lost to time!īut hey.I guess we can't say Sega never gives the fans what they want! It's just that sometimes they don't know they are doing it in the first place haha Description: Daytona USA 2001 is a Racing video game published by Hasbro Interactive released on March 12th, 2001 for the SEGA Dreamcast. No more emulating esoteric and complex chipsets.now it's just bog standard pc components and a few driver tweaks. Sega ported their own game for the fans without ever actually realizing it! Probably the funniest and strangest gaming story I'd ever heard in regards to arcade games and ports.įrom a preservation standpoint though arcade games running on PC hardware will make it infinitely easier to keep these games around and enjoyed for decades to come. After some fixes to get it controlling via keyboard or a gamepad.suddenly Daytona USA 3 was playable on a Windows machine at home! So Sega uploaded the newest version of Daytona USA 3 to their arcade website, put the link in.and just published it.for ANYONE to download. Since these games are connected to the internet they receive updates that operators can install to add new features / patch bugs / etc etc. The story : remember when arcade games ran on exotic hardware that you didn't have access to at home? While I remember and love those days today it's just a PC in a cabinet less exciting hardware wise but MUCH easier port wise. It's rare but every so often they give fans what they are asking for.and sometimes they don't even realize they are doing it lolol You may also like.Sometimes Sega FINALLY comes through with home ports of some of their awesome arcade games.
