I used to play the second one at Chuck E. Cheese's, but I finally played the original at Dave and Buster's like 2 years ago and it was so much fun. This game has so much personality it hurts 😂
This was such an insane upgrade over 30fps Virtua Racing/Fighters the year before. Even today I am still impressed they managed to get - 60fps - texture mapped graphics - 40 cars at once in the same rice - 4-8 player network - IN 1994 Who would have thought turning left on a circular track would be so fun. Sonic on the cavern walls and the fantasic music is just a bonus. No wonder this game was such a hit and even today fondly remembered.
And all the cars had dynamic lighting, unlike the static shading of the Saturn cars. Watch the cars as they pass through the window lighting in the Advanced tunnel and see the Gouraud shading work its magic.😊 It looked worthy of a Dreamcast launch title. I actually throught Crazy Taxi looked like a really nice Model 2 game and played it side by side with Daytona in summer 1999 while I awaited the DC launch.❤ A full console generation ahead of its time. My parents and their friends thought it looked real in 1994.😂🎉
Thanks for this vid! Brings back alot of memories playing this at the bar in the 90s... dropping from 4th to 1st/2nd and drifting round on turns.... good times!
Wow thanks for upload love This game when I was schooling lol. On the expert course last turn I will gear can be shift from 4 to 1 brake and than 2 and than 3 and 4 for smoother turn instead of banging the wall. Just my playing style
For beginner, can take the pit lane for all the laps (by going the side) before drifting with 2-4 but its risky and you risk ruining your race if you activate the pit stop. Last lap of course is risk free, cos pit stop never activated for last lap.
Alguém me explique por gentileza como é que um jogo de 1994 pode ter um gráfico tão bom?! Pra mim esse gráfico deixa o N64 no chinelo. É quase o gráfico do Dreamcast já. Se alguém puder me explicar eu agradeço.
This game has quite a bit of history actually haha, During the 90’s Arcades were still pretty much if not one of the highest grossing platforms the videogame industry had, and a LOT of resources were injected directly into developing new technologies to make gaming feel realistic and keep you engaged in playing the game while having to expand the number of machines on the arcade place you were. This made NAMCO and SEGA battle directly during that decade to showcase who was the best and who could deliver REALISTIC graphics, they even bought military tech in order to develop new engines, making newer engines very expensive to produce. Daytona it’s also one of the first 3d games to use UV maping, which means they textured everything by digitally painting polygons or placing texture images on top of these polygons, which made the game look way better without having to render more stuff. Keep in mind that this tech was really expensive to not only develop but to produce as i said before, hence why when consoles that could render 3d graphics started to appear most companies used cheaper console chips to produce them by sacrificing a LOT of power they already had in their hands. If consoles that were released around that time used the best tech they could, those consoles would have been REALLY expensive both for the consumer and for the developers to make games. With time, that technology would end up catching on with home consoles, but before that, arcades games were the BEST looking games out there for a while. I know you wrote this 3 months ago, but i think it’s a way too interesting topic to not reply to! PS: sorry for replying in English ,my first language is spanish and i understood what you wrote but I couldn’t reply in portuguese.
Not too much of a stretch since it was a playable character in Fighters Megamix. i0.wp.com/dualpixels.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/fighters-megamix.jpg?fit=500%2C366&ssl=1
30 years ago, I was a student at an Institute of Technology (college). But I got hooked on this video game and ended up dropping out of college. In that sense, I can say that this game has been a guilty pastime for me. ;-) 今から30年も昔、私は工科大学の学生だった。しかしこのゲームにハマった結果、大学を中退する事になってしまった。 そういった意味で、このゲームは私にとって罪深い娯楽だと言える。;-)
I'm using a standard controller. It's a little sensitive and if you let go of the stick from left or right, the car snaps forward, which can cause you to lose control. 11:25 is an example of where the movement is faster on a joystick than it is with a steering wheel. I would say it's playable, but still not the best experience.
I remember playing this game at the movie theater all the time. I’d tell my parents what candy I wanted and then I’d B-line straight for it and play till we went into the theater
Unless you have Daytona USA 2001 for the Dreamcast or Daytona USA for the Xbox Live Arcade - Xbox 360 via Xbox One Backwards compatibility, you can let Mark play.
@@MVC2fan1 I don't think there is local play for the Xbox 360 version. The Dreamcast one does have local play, so if I ever play it with a second player, it will be that one, since the PC version doesn't seem to be too good.
It doesn't, but it has an online mode on Xbox 360 version. Both you and Mark must download the full version of Daytona USA so that you can play online.
@@MVC2fan1 There is also the cost of Xbox Live, which I don't already have. I also would need a way to record both screens, or I would miss half of the action. Dreamcast is likely the least amount of trouble.
I heard about it, but I hadn't really tried it out. While I was using an analog joystick, I was not using an analog trigger for the acceleration. I technically could have set it up to work that way, but it would have been more trouble. In the end, I don't think it mattered all that much, since I'm not exactly trying to set any records here.
On the final corner on the expert coarse, you wanna break hard after you come out of the chicanes and then gear drift. The best speed to take the corner is 130mph! But don't break and gear drift at the same time since it might result in spinning out. Trust me I play this game A LOT.
You should be able to find a copy of the game if you google "daytona.zip MAME". You can play this game using the Model 2 emulator, but I have no idea if that works with Windows 11.
