Get your motor running, head out on the highway, and possibly find a little adventure along with way in this week’s Xbox Live Arcade release, OutRun Online Arcade.
Despite being largely overlooked in favour of louder, faster games, Sumo’s OutRun 2 was one of the most joyous racing experiences of the last hardware generation. And next week, it arrives on the current generation.
Sega’s OutRun series races onto Xbox Live Arcade next week, and if you blink your eyes really fast, gameplay might look exactly like this latest set of screenshots.
Outrun Online Arcade has us excited. But if you’re American and own a PS3, you may want to ease back on the throttle of your own white-hot excitement jets. For safety reasons.
When Sega said the new Outrun was due for release in “early 2009″, they weren’t kidding around, as posters thrown up at the Asia Games Show last week tell us it’ll be out in January.
According to a new rating from Australia’s Office of Film & Literature Classification board, there may be a new OutRun game in the works. The OFLC has rated a game titled OutRun Online Arcade for a multi-platform release, one published by Sega and, oddly enough, “produced” and “authored” by THQ. The two companies had enjoyed a publishing agreement on Game Boy Advance titles in the past, but development duties on the OutRun series has largely been handled by internal Sega teams and UK-based indie studio Sumo Digital.
