Outrun 2 - XBOX Review

In 2004, Sega released Outrun 2 for the original Xbox. It had been nearly 20 years since the original made its debut. Was it any good?

Episode Notes:
1. Captured on original Xbox hardware.
2. To be more clear:
Outrun 2 - European tracks
Outrun 2 SP - US tracks
Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast - Content from both.
3. The PSP version is very playable, but suffers some performance issues.
4. The Xbox version of Outrun 2006 looks considerably better than the PS2 version.
5. Outrun Online Arcade was Xbox Live multiplayer capable, though you won't be able to use it today.
6. There have been upgraded cabinets released in the years since. Outrun 2 SP DX was released on the Linburgh, has increased resolution, a native widescreen mode, and a full sitdown Ferrari model.
7. It has been over a decade since this incredible game had its last official release at home(2009).
8. Yu Suzuki's last 2 games with AM2, were Outrun 2 and Virtua Cop 3. The latter has never seen a home console version.

This game is nothing but a celebration of what I consider to be video games. Out Run 2 is without a doubt one of, if not the best arcade racers ever made and for me, it'll be that evergreen game that I'll keep going back to for the rest of my life. In my mind it's perfection.

[@gtrzdaddy]

Never knew Yu Suzuki was involved in making Out Run2! I had the honor of meeting him in person at a Sega Developers conference and he was gracious enough to take a picture with a young unknown game developer newbie at the time. He didn't seem so popular with his subordinates however, which didn't surprise me knowing how perfectionist he is.

I think theres a bit of bad blood between Yu Suzuki and Sega Japan, his final six years at the company, he went a bit Hideo Kojima and spent millions on projects that were cancelled or failed in test markets. His only "good" game at the end was Sega Race TV, which Sega pretend never existed, despite being a pretty fun game.

The PC version of OutRun 2006 C2C has a file that enables bloom and lens flare placed in the wrong directory. To fix: 1) Go to "\Media\". 2) Copy "lens_flare_offset.bin". 3) Paste in "\Common\". Also, there is a community mod called Outrun 2 FXT that fixes some of the problems with the PC version.

[@internetjunkie5241]

Outrun 2 has the original arcade game as an unlockable bonus game.

[@Lightblue2222]

Yep. That's what pushed me to buy it. A perfect arcade port with analog control. And Outrun 2 ended up being very fun as well. Though I still like the original better, without all the new fangled side drifting to worry about.

I still remember the first time I saw OR2 in a movie theater arcade in January 2004 and it blew me away. I remember reading that a proper sequel was in the works a year or two before, so I was subconsciously awaiting the game to come out. Quickly learning of its arcade hardware and already owning an original Xbox, I was very excited to get my hands on the console release when it first came out.

[@thajo310]

Keep up the good work, one of my favorite utubers

[@MojonMountain]

I recently played the original Outrun 2 at my local arcade. Playing this game on original hardware is captivating. For 5 minutes you are completely focused on outrunning the clock, and getting to the finish line. Nothing else exists. SEGA truly put out some of the best arcade games ever made.

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

The best memory I have of this game was at a field trip to a bowling alley, when I finally made it to the finish line with a AA rank in Heart Attack mode. If I remember correctly there was a whole crowd of other kids behind me watching, as no one ever crossed the finish line. I walked out of that arcade room with my head held high, feeling like the king of the road. I almost didn't want to go back to bowling!

[@AllieRX]

OutRun 2 and OutRun 2006 badly need a remaster on current consoles and PC. Neither of these games are even backwards compatible on the Xbox One or Series X. Though they were on the 360.

[@retardray5701]

I got to play OutRun 2 SP back in the day and it was definitely one of the best video game experiences I've ever had. The drift mechanics were so fluid and the sense of speed immense. Soon after that I had OutRun 2006 for my PS2 and while it didn't have the sturdy arcade controls and speakers behind your ears, it was a very nice port considering it was originally designed with Xbox in mind. Getting the licence for a re-release could be tricky, I think. Since the original games seemed to be treated as a bit like advertisements for Ferrari, I would suspect they would want their newer models in the new release.

[@markandisobel]

This is probably my most played racing game over the years, and the PSP version is still top shelf even today. I run it on my Vita in current times for proper analog controls, as that nub on the PSP sucked major donkey balls.

[@andrewnorris5415]

There is a really great interview with the coders somewhere on the net. Could not dig it out, if I find it will send it along. It was a big challenge to convert this from arcade due to the much smaller memory compared to the arcade machine. A US team did the conversion. The Japanese team oversaw it and of course were demanding and big on details, burning the midnight oil. I used to work as a coder myself in that era on PS1. The game itself takes a predictable path so that helps the performance. The interview was really fascinating, would love to have you make a video all about it and even try and contact some of the coders and interview them yourself. It would be a great story!

[@BlueEyedVibeChecker]

Sumo Digital, the ones behind the Xbox conversion, is a UK studio from Sheffield, not a US team. But the part about SEGA Japan overseeing it was correct.

[@SteveBrandon]

Oh, I guess we're around the same age. But I didn't have a local arcade in 1985 so my first Hang-On and OutRun experiences were on the Sega Master System. It used to be that the XBox version of OutRun 2 was virtually unplayable on the XBox 360 in Backwards Compatibility mode due to a glitch where the skidding audio continued looping even if you started a new game but I finally downloaded an updated version of the backwards compatibility patch a couple of months ago and was relieved to find that the issue that was causing the glitch had been resolved since the last time I tried playing OutRun 2 on the XBox 360 several years before.

This is one of my all time favorite just pick and go games. I bought an OG Xbox mainly so I could play all three versions (Chihiro modded).

Ferrari should let Sega rerelease these games, as its free promotion. I dont think Fast and The Furious would of been made or at least wouldnt of been as popular if it wasnt for Gran Turismo introducing North America and Europe to all the Pacific Muscle cars that were featured in that movie. Im talking the Supra, Skyline GTR, 300z, Rx-7 and the almighty 3000GT VR-4. Lots of people around my age (older millennials) will tell you thats how they found out about many of these cars. Im just saying that having real car models in games will pay off. I know it wont be the same rereleasing a 20 year old game as it was with the blockbuster title that the first 2 Gran Turismos were, but still.

[@SteveBrandon]

I think the only way you'll get a current gen re-release (or, for that matter, an OutRun 3) would be if a console manufacturer like Microsoft (via Turn 10, which has the master Ferrari license for XBox) footed the bill for Ferrari since that license is expensive, probably in exchange for being a console exclusive. Sega and Mattel (for both Hot Wheels and Matchbox) are two companies I wish would get their Ferrari licenses back.

If this game looks good to you, the PC version of Outrun 2 Coast 2 Coast is now available as a small abandonware download, including a version packed with the latest FXT mod, which fixes many bugs, adds modern quality of life improvements and makes it run great in Windows 10. What surprised me the most of is what it supports ultra-wide resolutions, with only the UI elements getting stretched. Looks great on my UW display in 1440p. The XBox One pad support is also great with the FXT, including the rumble feature. FXT even allows to you to race friends over the Internet! What's really interesting is that while this game is very old and uses so little graphics capabilities of my GPU that its temperature never rises or its fans spin up when I play it, Outrun C2C still manages to look very attractive. It's one of of those rare polygon 3D games which achieves that "timeless" look thanks to the great art design and some clever graphics resource distribution. The car, the road and the immediate road-side stuff all have high polygon counts and the kind of high-res textures that you rarely saw during the era of 6th generation consoles, while the kind of stuff that you won't be noticing in detail while power-sliding at 200 mph, ranges from low poly models with blurry textures, to simple spites (like the crowds of people watching the race). You really don't notice the low poly/texture and sprite-based stuff while racing, so overall, things end up looking very nice. I suppose that a lot racers and fighting game from that era do the same stuff (tightly focus the graphics resource use on the assets that you'll be looking at the most), making them hold up better than most other types of games from the era, but this game does it particularly well, in combination with it's vibrant color use and good art design.

Great video SLX it's like yin yang te good is the great videos you make the bad is the resurfaced frustration that Sega keeps modern versions locked away from us.
