Sega announces Outrun Arcade Online for early 2009
21
Sega has officially announced that it is bringing Outrun Arcade Online to Xbox Live Arcade. The game is being developed by Sumo Digital, the team responsible for the recent Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast (on which Outrun Arcade Online appears to be based). It will be enhanced to include high definition graphics and will feature online play for up to six players. Outrun Arcade Online includes 10 different Ferrari cars and 15 different tracks on which to race them. And, of course, it wouldn't be Outrun without the music ... and the hot girl in the passenger seat. The game is expected to drop in early 2009. Check out the first screens in the gallery below and the debut trailer after the break.

Star ocean 4 looks better, but SO4 is realtime.

This game got me thinking.... we really dont have any arcade-style racers on XBLA...
How cool would it to have a Crusin' USA style game?
Im all for this and I'll probably buy it when the time comes :)

not quite the same thing as a mario kart clone, but in the same league to be sure:

Just did a check and Outrun 2006 is backwards compatible. I've always wanted to play it but never got around to it so I think I'll go and find it on the cheap once my console comes back or just go buy an original Xbox and play it.

Wow this just made my week! OMG I can't wait! It seems like a lot of you missed OutRun2/OutRun Coast2Coast? If so... just be aware you are in for greatness. This is the sort of game that used to come out of epic, awesome sega... not sega/sammy holdings circa 2008.

Hydro Thunder is Midway. Replace that with Daytona USA and your list is more convincing.
