Outrun 2 Coming Soon!!!

[lePobz]

Outrun was one of the best games from the retro gaming years. I had a copy on my ZX Spectrum +2 128k. It had the best graphics and the best soundtrack of any game at the time.

Anyway, good news: Outrun 2 is coming to the Xbox, and as early as August this year.

Even better, the soundtrack from the original has been remastered, and will feature in the game.

Link to the news is here: http://xbox.ign.com/articles/473/473729p1.html

Official site is here: http://www.sega-am2.co.jp/outrun2/en/index.html

Preview movie is here: http://www.sega-am2.co.jp/img/download/mv/outrun2/or2adv.mpg (2nd mouse button and save-target-as)

and finally, the all-time-classic (but remastered) theme from the original is here: http://www.sega-am2.co.jp/img/download/sound/01splash.mp3 (2nd mouse button and save-target-as)

I can't wait!!

Anyone who calls outrun 'regular' doesn't deserve the right to be posting on a gaming thread.

Outrun is a classic.


I hope this isnt a case of the cash mongering play-on-a-classic-name sequal thats so common these days.

Well said Pobz

On the arcade it's very, very cool. Consoles and pcs are the way to go - to have one and not the other means you miss out on soo many classic games.

eheh, I hope it plays like the original with no physics just pretty pictures

 

[lePobz]

Let me know if you hear anything about this game, its getting close to release and i've not heard a sniffle about it

I want it now!

If it's accurate to the arcade version Outrun 2 will be very cool.

Not a long game btw - but that's not what Outrun is about. Get some mates together and rediscover why you first fell in love with video games
