The development team is the same as it was for the original Daytona, but new designers were brought in for a fresh look. The deluxe version features a new motion system, the Crash Impact Generator that delivers shocks to the player's back and soles of his/her feet upon impact as well as the feel of the engine's rumbling. No other game can handle that many players at once.
Can Daytona 2 sell in a market drowning in vehicle-driven simulations?Īs with all driving games these days, there is a stand-up and deluxe version of the game, and either can be linked with up to 15 more using a dedicated network. Super GT was probably the closest in feel, but it failed to generate anywhere near the hype of Daytona. Jump to 1998, and we've driven just about everything driveable, and with graphics as good or superior to Model 2. The graphics on Model 2 were nothing less than stunning, and (most importantly) it just felt right. At the time when it was released back around '94, we had seen very little like it. It is an almost perfect port the cars still handle in the same brutal style, with those two back wheels jutting out of the rear like a beautifully carved octagonal Polo, and the final course remains impossible to complete unless you have studied for a university degree in arcade racing games.Ask a video game player what his/her favorite arcade driving game is, and you're to get a response like " Outrun dude, it was the best." OK, now find someone unmarried and beardless and the answer would undoubtedly be Daytona. Or was it at home, in the chilly confines of our game room, with the warm glow of a 14-inch portable television lighting up the room?ĭaytona USA is a realistic reproduction of the popular arcade game, and it has been remastered for the PlayStation Network so that it supports wide-screen displays and can be played online. It was most likely in Blackpool, in the nook of a seedy arcade, with stained carpet from the 1970s beneath our feet. Our recollection is cloudy and inaccurate, which results in the delivery of conflicting messages to us. We ought to be able to pinpoint the precise instant when we started playing Daytona USA, but we are unable to do so.
