![]() Of course this is just my two cents :) I'd be curious to know how you feel about the game a year from now VGEsotericaīut Model 3 games on DC are generally good enough. The bizarre car handling simply makes the game too much of a chore to fully enjoy it. So yes, while I still admire Daytona 2 for its lovely graphics, art style and presentation, I can't justify calling it the best arcade racer of all time or even in my top 3. GRID 2 is Codemasters' homage to the Sega arcade racers of old, and unlike Daytona 2's weird car physics, the cars in GRID 2 are an absolute JOY to drive! The powersliding makes sense and if you're lucky enough to own a decent force feedback wheel, once tuned and dialed in, the driving experience is nothing short of S-U-B-L-I-M-E-!!!!!! Other games(and I mean pure actual arcade racing games) I feel are superior to Daytona 2 are OutRun 2, Rave Racer, Wangan Midnight, and even Initial D. I'll end on this note.if you want to know what I think is a far better arcade racer than Daytona 2(or even 1 for that matter), it GRID 2 by Codemasters. Maybe Sega’s big announcement coming up is a home port of every arcade game they own? Lololīut in all seriousness if you have never played Daytona USA 2 before.go play it! I haven’t seen a Daytona 2 cabinet since around 2015 or so if my memory is correct. It’s not like they are getting any easier to find either. Some magazines said it was rumored or “in the works” for a home port but sadly we never got one. It released in 1998 in arcades so it was perfect timing for a home port.yet nothing but silence from Sega. Here’s what I’ll never understand about Sega though they felt it necessary to remake the original Daytona for Dreamcast, and release two versions of the original on the Saturn.yet they never felt it important enough to give us the sequel on Dreamcast. It’s like they took the formula for the original Daytona, made everything better, and then improved it a bit more for good measure. It’s a mix of what made the original so great with brand new graphics, more “arcadey” tracks, and an awesome soundtrack. Yet there is one thing I will never understand about them.their sheer reluctance to port their incredible library of Arcade games to home consoles.ĭaytona USA 2, for me, is the perfect Sega racing game. I’ve been playing their games ever since I got a Genesis and the original Sonic one year for Christmas. The game also has Team Hornet inform the player of turns and traffic, and will comment on your driving if you crash.I’d like to think I “understand” Sega. Each player assumes the roll of a different coloured Hornet, and each cabinet must be ready to race and agreed on a course before this can happen (otherwise the game may start up with less than eight players). It was the first arcade game ever to allow up to eight cabinets to be linked together, with each player capable of competing in the same race. Most notably, however, is Daytona USA's multiplayer features. ![]() The computer analyses the player's skill during the first lap, and will instruct rival cars to move out of the way if it feels the player is doing poorly (while doing the opposite if the player registers a fast time). Crashing into walls or other cars can inflict damage leading to poor performance - to remedy this each level has a pit lane, which, by sacrificing some time, can fix the car.ĭaytona USA has smarter AI than many other driving games from around this period. The game features both automatic and manual transmissions, the latter requiring use of the gear stick and which, if used properly, can lead to a faster car than the automatic. ![]() Player one's car by default is coloured red and blue (the manual car uses a red, black and yellow colour scheme), and can be seen at the forefront of all game covers, flyers and similar media related to the series with the exception of Daytona USA 2 and its update, Daytona USA 2: Power Edition. ![]() The original arcade release has the player drive a stock car, known as the "Hornet" (number 41, producer Toshihiro Nagoshi's "lucky number") loosely based on a Chevrolet Beretta, racing against numerous other cars around three selectable tracks. Daytona USA and all of its sequels and rereleases (except Sega Racing Classic, in which case someone else already held the arcade license) have been officially sponsored by the International Speedway Corporation. It is loosely based on the NASCAR racing event at the Daytona International Speedway, located in real life in Daytona Beach, Florida in the United States of America. It was initially given a limited release in Japan in 1993 to gauge public reaction to the new model hardware before its full, international release the following March. 4 /5Daytona USA is a Sega Model 2 arcade racing game developed by Sega AM2.
