In contrast to Virtua Racing’s flat-shaded polygons, Daytona USA wowed audiences back in ’94 with its 60fps fully texture mapped polygonal environments - something which even home consoles of the period couldn’t quite match. And titles like Daytona USA are a fantastic example of this.ĭaytona USA, lest you are unfamiliar, is Sega’s 1994 follow-up to its classic arcade racer Virtua Racing, which got a cracking Sega Ages port to Nintendo Switch a while back.
Over time, the platform grew into a rather more generic digital download store - but it never quite forgot that all-important “arcade” side of things. The cars in Outrun and Daytona may as well be spaceships concerning their absolutely disregard for how a real car's physics work.But then we had Xbox Live Arcade, which began its life as a digital download platform specifically for these short-form arcade-style experiences that no longer had a place at retail. Sega Rally feel entirely different to both, and bares more resemblance to more modern games like Dirt etc in regards to its handling model. It's both slower and less precise however. In both games however, you can simply initiate drifts with the brakes if you're not comfortable with manual shifting.
With a joypad it's recommended that you map the 4 gears to the face buttons, so you can easily select which gear to shift to, rather than relying on sequential shifting. Daytona USA is similar, but there's more important on which gear you shift to affecting the angle and stability of the drift you make. Outrun 2 is mostly a simple case of shifting down one gear to start a drift and then back up quickly to maintain your speed.
In both Daytona USA and Outrun 2 (especially in Outrun 2's case), there's very little need to use the brakes if you're using manual transmission.
