    I was really hoping that the ‘more’ included a new Outrun. The last new game was 2006’s Coast to Coast. I loved that so much I bought it on every platform.

    It’s such a simple formula, at least on paper. Drive a cool car through a diverse collection of stages with branching paths. There’s been a few clones over the years, but nothing that comes close to the charm and quality of the actual Outrun.

    Now, I know that the Ferrari license is an issue. But there’s plenty of other car brands that would supply equally iconic rides. Porsche, Lamborghini, BMW… and plenty of cool Japanese options as well.

    I’ll drive the game in a goddamn Lada Riva ss long as it’s proper Outrun.

      Plus they can make up the car and go a bit retro futuristic which has been in style, being outrun an influence in a lot of substyles (e.g. synthwave).

      Slipstream got some interesting ideas, but the game has few issues that hamper it from being great.

        I’d much rather have them do EXACTLY what they did with Coast to Coast; no need to change what’s working honestly.

        About the only thing I’d change is the thing we’d need to change anyway: the car selection. A new game with different real life brands would be awesome for us car nerds.

        Outrun is a vibe as much as it is a game. I’m really hoping we’ll get one eventually. I’d put up a silly amount of kickstarter cash for SEGA to make a new one.
