by Alexander Sliwinski { Dec 18th 2008 at 12:15PM }

Although the Aussies already spilled the beans across the information superhighway a month ago, Sega has now officially confirmed OutRun Online Arcade for XBLA and PSN. The game is being developed by UK-based Sumo Digital and will release in early 2009 for a currently unannounced price.

The game features 15 courses across the cement lifelines of the US and 10 licensed Ferrari cars. It also supports online racing for six players in three different modes. Go ahead and check out the announcement trailer after the break.

Oh man, I've loved OutRun since the Yu Suzuki original showed up in my Pizza Hut when I was three or four. I've poured countless quarters into the 03 sequel and I'm probably one of three people that bought the PSP version so I could bring it everywhere with me. This is awesome.

Pizza Hut and arcades = lots of memories.

If this is just Outrun 2006 I'll probably pass.

Actually, I'll probably end up buying it, Live Card and all. I just love Outrun. Shame nobody plays 2006 online anymore. The arcade version still gets lots of love though.

It looks a little bit too much like Cruisin' USA to me.

No this game has more drifting and misogyny.

AoE @ Dec 18th 2008 5:35PM

no way, OutRun/OutRun2/Coast2Coast/etc. are worlds better than the Cruisin' series by far. Just imagine the Cruisin' franchise minus all the suck... then replace the suck with awesome, and you have OutRun Arcade.

I'll truthfully admit to liking the Cruis'n games, especially Exotica...

I want that Sonic X-treme game that never came out.

Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Dec 18th 2008 12:45PM

SWEET.

Hey am I the only one who would pay for Megarace if it was on the PSN or Xlive?

I would be so happy if Megarace,Cyclon,Rise of the Triad,Microman or Sky Roads were released in those services.

CJLopez @ Dec 18th 2008 12:53PM

man, i'm sooooo downloading this and letting my friends get ti to play online

Deck @ Dec 18th 2008 12:58PM

Totally for this. This looks like it should be pretty fun.

Though, I would really hope that other people think the same so there are actually people playing online.

Tuxy79 @ Dec 18th 2008 1:04PM

Instant purchase.

WiNG LifeInAGame.com @ Dec 18th 2008 1:05PM

Finally a REAL racing game on XBLA.

I always loved this game, but what with not having $5000 to buy a full arcade version, I GUESS I could settle for paying $5-$15.

GSport @ Dec 18th 2008 1:12PM

This is good news! I wish they would bring back Speed Demons for XBLA! It was one of my favorite Dreamcast titles. Speed Demons would make a great online and single player addition for both the 360 and the PS3.

Dralthi @ Dec 18th 2008 2:05PM

The screenshots make it look like a PS2 game but the video did it some justice. Looks cool. I love aracde racers so I'm definitely checking this out.

Mr. Cantu @ Dec 18th 2008 2:47PM

Man, I might just have to get this. I wonder how different it is from the DC version of Outrun I used to own? Also, are those screenshots stretched? Look at the speedometer in the lower left hand corner, it's more of an oval than a circle.
