Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Great, unexpected news, Sega (and good times) fans: Outrun returns. And it’s not the retro OutRun, nor the wonderful Sumo Digital arcade port from a few years back. It’s something in between.
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.
Sega president Simon Jeffery appeared to have misspoke on the employment fate of famed game designer Yu Suzuki when he told Gamasutra that the Outrun creator was no longer employed at the company. Turns out, he is! Hooray! Said to be bearing the title Creative Officer of Sega Corp., Suzuki may be (extremely) low profile and the opposite of prolific, but it appears he’s still getting his checks signed by Sega.
In Jeffery’s defence, the man isn’t in human resources. And no one wants a second visit from Sega of Japan’s correction ninja squad. They’ll cut ya.

Yes. More shirts. Man up, you can take the load. These are a limited run put out by a UK-based consultancy firm, just as a hobby, but if you feel like you could actually pull off wearing a shirt bearing Outrun’s arcade board number, there’s ordering details for the general public at the link below. Two other shirts are available, one for LocoRoco, one for Mario Kart. [Never Mind The Polygons]
All it needs now is some Magical Sound Shower wafting in over Gordon’s post-apocalyptic AM/FM radio and a palm tree or two and we’d be set. Plus I doubt Alyx would be the type to get all slappy if you crashed. Which is nice. You don’t need the threat of a smack from your lady hanging over you when you’re trying to save humanity.
