It matters because without it, you would have to settle for PS2 or PSP
downgrades of OutRun2 SP - Special Tours. (don't know how well
the PC version will turn out)
I don't need to detail why PS2 and PSP cannot handle 100% faithful
ports of Chihiro-powered arcade games -- that is, Xbox-based arcade
games such as OutRun2 and OutRun2 SP.
Even for Xbox, it takes the developer some work to get Chihiro games
to fit into Xbox's 64MB RAM. - In OutRun2 and OutRun2SP cases, the
Chihiro arcade versions use 512 MB RAM.
okay with that out of the way, here's the n00z

OUTRUN 2006 COASTS ONTO XBOX
Sega announces OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast on Xbox, alongside PC, PS2
and PSP versions. Plus: PSP shots inside!
14:51 It's already been announced for PSP, PS2 and PC, but now Sega has
officially unveiled the Xbox version of its latest Outrun, um, outing -
OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast.
Coast to Coast features 15 new American-themed environments from the
OutRun2 SP arcade game, it says here, and includes a new mission
structure, licence mode and online play for head-to-head racing for up
to six players. There's also a total of 15 fully-licensed Ferraris to
drive around in with your hair blowing in the wind and your bum***
out the window. Hopefully, the game will also have tons of waily guitar
music too, because we really like that.
If, like us, you're currently so e***d that you're scared to stand up
in public in case anyone notices, you can check out the brand new PSP
screens from the game which we've plastered around the page like an
explosion of digital vomit.
All versions of the game are due to land on European shelves in March
this year, and we managed to get through the article without making a
single rubbish driving pun. Go us.
