You know how outrun and its ilk simulate the track with a tons of 2D layers and stuff? I think thats nice.

Also cannonball is peak comfy for a 60FPS Outrun experience

Why does every version of Outrun suck? Like, why are the hills so fucking bad!?
Okay, it was the first of its kind, but since its initial release and the port to the Genesis games like Lotus on the Amiga, Top Gear on the Snes and even Rad Racer on the NES came with way better hills and draw distance.
OutRunners and Turbo Outrun definitely improved those, so why does the original still look like ass?

Remember when Taito tried to copycat SEGA but with cops?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfz2qofmZx0

Pretty much cuz the way how Yu Suzuki coded the road engine.

No pre-built binaries. You devs are just going to have to fucking come to terms with people not wanting to compile their own shit- this phenomenon of "I coded it now *you* have to build it!" is getting worse and worse with each new generation.

The way they render the road in alternating stripes has always bugged the everloving Christ outta me.

Seems like a good thread to ask. Why did the jap outrun have a slightly different course layout?

>> No.6464754

>>6463546
Could've changed that for any port.
But I see know that even Turbo OutRun is still bad and we do not want to talk about the other Genesis ports. Fucking terrible. What were they doing?

The first two Chase HQ games have always been based and hace a very creative and exciting use of the OutRun formula. The real Taito copycat was Top Speed:

Lots of games got patched in between their Japanese and International releases. Maybe they saw it as an improvement. Maybe they thought it would appeal to dumb Americans more somehow.

Hot Chase (Konami)

Dude, this game is fucking trash, even in the original hardware it runs sluggish

I had a fascination with that game when I was a kid, because it was quite an unusual racer. The city seemed european and had many good ideas like the army attacking you, the gun holes in the screen, jumping over trains, the bomb the car has inside, etc. I believe the concept of the game had enormous potential but it was wasted, because after the first level it becomes pretty generic, unfortunately.

60fps outrun is the saturn port.

Does the saturn port also support widescreen, enhanced sprites, custom track editor, time trial and continuous mode?

Looks like shit.

If you make a program for people to use it should be usable.
