OutRun Online Arcade gets XBLA date News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Oli Welsh
Microsoft has confirmed, via Xbox Live's Days of Arcade feature, that SEGA's OutRun Online Arcade will be released on Xbox Live Arcade on Wednesday 15th April.
The game's a downloadable version of the arcade classic OutRun 2 SP, as converted by Sumo Digital, which has done this sort of thing before (on Xbox, PS2 and PSP) to terrific effect.
OutRun Online Arcade is also due for a PS3 release on the PlayStation Network, but SEGA is currently unable to confirm if this version will launch simultaneously with the 360's in April.
Sony's approval processes have seen several PSN games arrive later than their XBLA counterparts, most notoriously with PS3 owners' months-long wait for Capcom's Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. We'll let you know as soon as we do.
Check out Tom's impressions of OutRun Online Aracde if you haven't already.

This game apparently only has the 15 Coast 2 Coast tracks and doesn't have the original 15 OutRun 2 ones. So if you have a PC and Steam it's worth picking up OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast for a fiver rather than paying (probably) twice as much for the 360 version with half the content. It runs in HD 1680x1050 at 60 fps with 16Q AA on my PC and, while not exactly cutting edge graphically, looks pretty nice all the same.

Something to pull me away from Eve... I do have C2C on Steam, and often plug the hdmi into the laptop, but sticking this on Live should get some of my friends into it too.

I bet its atleast 1200 points for this. Easily worth it too. I wouldnt be surprised if its 1600 points. The Watchmen game was 1600 wasnt it?

@Ryze - No, I don't nor do I want to. OutRun for me is a game where you race against the time-limit to reach the next checkpoint, I don't think that racing against five other human players adds much, if anything, to the game personally the couple of times I've tried it with Coast 2 Coast on the Xbox. There are racing games out there that are much better suited to online racing IMO such as GRID and PGR 4.

I'm sure it'll be 1200 points, Virtual On is gonna be the same price.
Amazed to see people moaning about an HD Outrun game costing £10, anyone would think it wasn't worth it. Jet Set Radio plz Sega! |

"At 800: Buy. At 1200: Not. "
Your loss then. No way this will cost 800 points. If it did turn out to be 800 points for this i would be sceptical actually. I mean Death Tank cost 1200. |

Everyone recomending the Xbox BC version should check their heads. Outrun 2 runs with some major slowdown in some areas and Coast 2 Coast has some bad texture pop in issues in upscaled mode, slowdown and abominable load times occasionaly. Also, the live play seems to struggle with wireless headsets for some reason. The PC version is a better bet though since you can upscale it a lot. Online is quite wonky and forget the Leaderboards (which are one of the best parts of the Outrun experience). So there is a lot riding on this version to convince us to play the perfect edition of the Beautiful Journey (1080p and 800pts obv.) . Its looking like its worth a punt so far though.
Hopefully someone from Sumo *coughs0lendcough* will tell us if its based off the SDX version or SP version as well. |

Hello,
Price wise, we've not had final confirmation, but according to the Xbox website here: http://www.xbox.com/zh-SG/games/o/outrun... It looks like everyone's wish of 800 points may well happen :) Codewise the game is based off the SP code, mixed in with some of our existing 2006 code. It's not based on SDX, but... this is the first time the games been available in HD like SDX. The entire games been optimised for widescreen play at any rate. We've also redone a lot of code from scratch, for example the multiplayer code is all new. If you think of it as a conversion of OutRun2SP but in HD - you're not too far off the mark. --- S0L --- |

800 points? GET IN.
*ahem*. I know its a bit early, but any DLC plans? Otherwise. I love you all so much. Also, most important factor of this purchase. What music is making it in. Keep Your Heart 1989 better be there. It was the best C2C track.
