Arcade Longplay [229] Daytona USA

www.longplays.org
Played By: Uncle Bone
Daytona usa is one of the highest grossing arcades of all time, and one
of the most respected arcade racing games ever made, but poorly ported
on most plataforms.
00:00 Atract mode video of all 3 stages
03:06 Beginner course
07:12 Advanced course
12:01 Expert course
i used some of the easter egg music that is played when you
use some specific initials on your name on a record, the
ones shown are:
A.B - After Burner, at the end of the begginer track
V.R - Virtua Racing, at the end of the advanced track
P.D - Power Drift, at the end of the expert track
*there are many others, i picked my 3 favorites for this video.
Played using the m2 emulator, version 1.0, the virtual arcade machine is set to the "deluxe cabinet", on normal dificulty, without network support (single machine)
i have acess to the actual real hardware, but record offscreen video from a crt monitor would simply suck.
the screen output of the emulator "mostly matches" the arcade, but the emulation have some minor bugs in geometry (mostly z fighting in the shadows and tress, also some "lack of zbuffer" usage on some geometry)
i tried to be mostly completionist in this video, showed the atract mode (with sound enabled) on all 3 track, and played the tracks in order, aiming to the first place, to show the "game credits" in the end of each race.
in each "record" screen, i used one of the avaible easter eggs of classic music from other sega games.
Beginner course, signed A.B. (plays After Burner music)
Advanced course, signed V.R. (plays Virtua Racing music)
Expert course, signed P.D. (plays Power Drift music) -

The sound and tangible experience of this arcade was extraordinary. When you get the "Start your engines" screen, the seat literally shakes from the engine startups - If I recall there are speakers mounted behind you on the seats. Then you get a steering wheel that has enough force feedback to react from the car movements and drifts. It was just so ahead of its time. Today as a 3D artist, the way they managed to work with the limitations of the time were very creative. The shadows were not raycast shadows, they are actually flat geometrical planes shaded in black to resemble shadows. So these planes are children, or inherit the transforms, of its parent car. You can tell because the "shadow planes" clip against the track. The sky "reflection" on the back of the car is just a seamless texture that is connected to the car's acceleration. As the car moves, the texture projection translates in the V (up/down) direction. Another detail is the tire marks on the road. I'm not too sure how they did this, but I'm assuming it's broken up into transparent sprites over the track, close enough that it looks like they are part of the track itself. The way the track itself is textured, the most efficient way is to stack each polygon of the road and use a seamless road texture.

[@NexusArtRealm]

I was a teenager when this game first hit the arcade at our local mall. I'll never forget how I felt when first I saw this thing, with people surrounding it. It blew my mind. Never have I seen such beautiful graphics. The closest to 3D style racing we had back then, used mode 7 technology with games such as F-Zero and Mario Cart *which both were available about 1 to 3 years prior to Daytona USA's debut, I believe. The game developers have come a LONG way since then, but I'll always appreciate the level of excitement milestone games like this one, brought to our world. lol Man... the 90s was a blast, specifically in the entertainment area. Comics, video games, toys, movies, tv shows (x-files), music... it was all so much fun. I still have a stash of EGM and Gamepro mags I used to collect during this era. I remember the big articles on Daytona USA. It was groundbreaking for it's time. I wish I knew what I had back then, because I honestly didn't appreciate it as much as I should have.

[@EOTA564]

Nar Comic Underworld It was unbelievable at the time. Plenty of games have impressed me since but none like Daytona USA. Closest was probably the first Doom reboot.

[@IvoMaropo]

I had pretty much the same mindblowing experience with this game as you did (not to mention also being a very enthusiast videogame magazine collector). I was in Portugal the first time I saw this game at a local mall's corridor and I couldn't believe me eyes either. It was the peak of the arcade era.

[@SoldierOfFate]

I was very young when this game first came out. This game is 2 years younger than me so I didn't get a chance to experience it until the early 2000s, the time when arcades slowly began to fade in the past. A recent visit to a Dave and Buster's gave me a chance to actually play this game and I didn't spend 75% of the time slamming into guardrails or other racers, because that's exactly what I did when I was younger since I didn't know how to actually play the damn game. XD

[@MrMarinus18]

@@SoldierOfFate Arcade's were never really a thing in my country unfortunately. Sure a few did exist but they all had games that were at least 5 years old and were mostly just hand-me-downs from other countries. Quite a few were not even translated which means that for a kid it's not easy to guess how everything is supposed to work.

[@raiverns9620]

Super Mario Kart was 1 year before Daytona USA's 1993 location test. Star Fox and Virtua Racing for home consoles hadn't even come out yet. THATS how advanced this game was for it's time.

[@trollatlarge]

I was 9 years old when this came and mum gave me some token to play this. I sat in the seat, inserted the coin, pressed play button and felt so excited. I actually literally shat. The arcade man working told me to leave because I pooped on the seat and mum grounded me. What a amazing day

[@DSDMovies]

It occurred to me recently, that these old Sega arcade games are more like puzzle games than racing. The challenge comes from working out what to do, where, and then following through. Once you know how to beat a track, you can keep doing it. I prefer this type of gameplay. I like games that feel like games, like the developer is directly setting up a challenge for you. Simulation stuff is all a bit too random with too many variables. You can't "master" Gran Turismo, but you can master Daytona USA and Scud Race. And then there's a great deal of enjoyment from repeatedly going back and doing it again. I play Street Fighter II quite often against the CPU on normal just because I like going through that sequence. It's comforting to beat these old games again and again.

[@Gaminggod1997BAGR]

That's so true. Nowadays, challenge is thrown out window in most games. The challenge is everything in any game. Games from this era have that sort of essence make you feel proud of yourself when you complete the challenge. I feel as if I trekked on an arduous journey(arduous means very hard) rather than nowadays, having someone's mother hold your hands for everything. You know what I mean?

a random comment to whoever reads it: i am the player in this longplay (my nickname irl is uncle bone) and recently i traveled to a big town where they still have arcades, and played daytona usa in a few machines... i couldn't find a single one without any "gameplay crippling" problem, therefore the "real hardware" daytona usa looks dead to me... after all it was released 20 years ago. (but i was there, and it was pretty much the peak of the arcade era to me)

[@MrMairu555]

You need a bit more practice, my friend! We would be looking at around 1:32 from lap 2. Set it to expert and Grand Prix (30 laps)... disable "catch up" mode too. The tyres degrade and lap times drop off if you put the car sideways too much. My friend and I would opt for different strategies... 1x pit stop (lap 15 ish) vs 2x pit stops (lap 10 & lap 20), but would sprint for the finish line together! GP on the expert track takes about 45 minutes to complete! We had a friendly technician at our arcade that would set the machine up for us to play Grand Prix mode on a Saturday and give us a free credit, because they would rake it in afterwards with the newbie racers playing! Happy days! :-)

Arcades were always supposed to be superior than consoles. When they stopped doing that, they went bankrupt.

[@SoldierOfFate]

Arcades are still very popular in Asia. The one reason why they died off in North America is because consoles and online gameplay started taking over and everyone and their dogs could set up a gaming station where they lived, but in Asia...there is virtually no living space to have a place dedicated for gaming in your house/apartment unless you are rich enough to afford one.

[@thebravegallade731]

[@animalcoca5073]

Back to the day when we play arcade games with only one coin amuseum..

[@wekiwisdofly85]

Ah the good old days playing this on the arcades at my local video shop in New Zealand. Good old United video!

[@UltraSTH]

Man… I wanna play this game again

[@Shy_Flames]

The sounds are so realistic!

[@posun123]

yeah

[@archived527]

+HotRodMario I'd say they were realistic for the time. Its 28 PCM channel soundchip was also impressive for the time.

[@JackBandicootsBunker]

The engine sound is even better than GT6...

[@gaminglakitu]

Listen to those sounds while playing as a horse in the Saturn version

I used to love the detail with Sonic on the mountain when I was a kid.

[@davidp6552]

This song is so catchy , been stuck in my head all week

[@bearform666]

I am in love with this game. I mean I love love this game. I want to get down on all fours with Daytona USA and ... well you know the rest.

As you can see, even selecting a car to drive was an event in its own right. *SELECT TRANSMISSION.... BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!*

[@user-fv4io6oz8v]

ゲーセンでよくプレイしてたわ！ 懐かしい！

[@AndyKusanagi86]

one of my favorite arcades ever. it even helped me learn how to drive IRL.

[@MichaelsMadness]

Even though I was not in the generation of when this came out my dad used to have an old Sega game console and Daytona USA was the only game on it that I couldn’t remember and I remember spending hours upon hours upon hours on that game. My entire childhood from probably five to eight is this game. I will forever have this theme stuck in my head till the day I die.

[@wales2k4747]

3:01 Why is that sound so damn cool?!

[@thulsa_doom]

Jazzy

[@smithsmithony5401]

Cause it's the same chord as DAYTONAAAAAA

[@maestrolodahl8681]

[@boltar2003]

Almost 25 years on , the graphics still look ok-ish. Thats quite an achievement.

[@iciouailleurs1977]

A good retro video game from my youth, and I still play it at times

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Sega announced that a new Daytona USA title is in the works!

[@tHeWasTeDYouTh]

[@BlueflagAlpha]

[@dathardscopetho2459]

YESYESYESYES FUCK YES ANOTHER SEGA AM2 TITLE

[@dathardscopetho2459]

+Sonic Ace 24 it's better than sonic shit(sonic shitty forces)

[@coydog7902]

It was decent but it should’ve been released around 2004

[@Angie2343]

This version is now available on the PS3.

[@Davez621]

I remember being in awe of the reflection on the car's window when I first played this game.

[@Tigrou7777]

Killer app. When it was released, nothing could compete with it. Sega was so much ahead of its time.

[@jackslate4593]

game ovaaaaa

[@guidorch]

Hey there! I'm gonna use part of this video gameplay for a cover theme song of "Let's Go Away" by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. I will put a link to this video in the description as well. If you disagree just let me know! Guidorch

[@borinightmare]

I loved playing this in the arcades in Coney Island. Back then I had to choose two cars Jeff Gordon's Chevy or Richard Petty's Dodge Charger. That was a whole lot of fun..

[@Aprok8]

En verano de 2017 en mis vacaciones cuando tenia 12 años aún así seguia esta joya en los arcades, buenos tiempos, realmente marcó mi verano
