any hope for a new Daytona ?

I am a hopeless fan of Sega's Daytona USA. that is, the arcade game, the arcade sequel, the Dreamcast release and the bonus track 2 in Xbox OutRun2. regarding a new Daytona game, we have this article from 2 years ago: http://news.spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=3877 ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________ World Exclusive: Daytona 3 to launch on Xbox Live AM2 racer sequel in the works for Microsoft. 14th Oct 2002 We can exclusively reveal that the next instalment of Daytona, AM2's acclaimed racing series, will be released exclusively for Xbox and will have a heavy online slant. This thrilling news comes as the last instalment of Daytona, released for Dreamcast, had its online support withdrawn around the world. Yu Suzuki's team is already hard at work on the game, which is currently carrying the name Daytona Live, though this is likely to change. We can also tell you that Sega and Microsoft are working to release the game in mid-2003 to late 2003. Although the game will initially be an Xbox exclusive, a PlayStation 2 version and a GameCube version will follow. It is known that Sega is looking into the possibility of implementing cross-platform online racing as part of its console agnostic online stance. The content of Daytona is expected to be a much enhanced version of previous games, with a load of new tracks, several old favourites and fully customisable cars, with players able to design and re-design their racer's shell. Leagues and organised one-off events are also planned for the game. We'll bring you a full update as soon as we can and, as ever, remember where you read this first! ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________ now if this so called info had only been on Spong.com, I would tend to dismiss it. However, other sources mentioned almost the same thing, most notably, Stinger Report: http://www.casbox.com/Stinger/Sting98.html ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________ " The Yu Suzuki managed AM2 team has revealed that they are working on Daytona 3 (tentatively name Daytona Live). The game is targeted squarely at the Xbox console and its 'Xbox Live' network playing system. The company hopes to develop a racing game that will be truly 'multiple platform' with players on one system able to compete across a newly developed network system with players on another unit in LAN games." " Regarding amusement application of Daytona 3, especially in light of other SEGA sequels missing arcade development (Ferrari F355 Championship 2, Crazy Taxi 2 and Monkey Ball 2) no official statement has been made on a release date for a arcade version, though a late 2003 date has been intimated for the Xbox version. " ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ Am I the only one hoping that there was some truth to the above reports? obviously that info is now years old, circa 2002. yet recently, there have been rumblings of a new Daytona appearing on Sega's new highend arcade board that uses a new custom PowerVR graphics chip. maybe Daytona 3 is getting the nextgen treatment and will appear on Xbox2, as well as PS3, sometime in the coming year(s). dispite my above question, I know there are thousands out there that would give their right arm for new *solid* Daytona release.

A new Daytona would be awesome! I really enjoyed the Saturn and Dreamcast versions. "Xenon" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It's perfectly plausible for the game to be on Live.. but cross-platform online? not going to happen. Not because it's not technologically possible, but because it's totally contrary to MS's principal of a closed network, which is what Live is. The whole purpose of Live is so that MS can control online gaming. They might allow cross PC-XBOX gaming (I don't know of any but its possible), but no way in hell are they going to allow outside networks, especially ones controlled by their competitors, to be able to connect with games on Live.
