Played it in arcades as a kid. Then on Dreamcast. One of the best Sega Racing games ever. When it was released on arcades nothing was like it in term of gameplay, music and 3D graphics.
@@dfloper so true - even now nothing has quite bottled the magic like Daytona. And back then - had we ever seen a power slide? It was just amazing!! - bedgell
When I worked at the mall as a teen, I'd punch out of Express Ltd and finish every night defending my 1st place score on DAYTONA at Dave & Busters. None of my friends understood it, so I'm glad others discovered the apotheosis of the powerslide. 😎

This one brings back a ton of memories for me. I had this on the Saturn back in the day, and I remember it being just an incredible racing experience. It certainly gets you hyped for some top-class racing action. I really wish that I'd taken the time to really appreciate the things that you guys mentioned about it back then. We were really spoiled with these games. Such a great period for gaming. and it felt like it would never end. I don't really like realistic racing games either. I do own Gran Turismo and the second one, and as Bedgel said, they do look the part and are fine games, and I agree that it's almost too real. Where as, you could play Daytona and do things you wouldn't normally do in a real race. Even Toca Rally and Colin McRae on PS1 are just almost unplayable for me compared to this. Give me the blue skies and colourful tracks of Daytona any day. This is another awesome video, guys!
@@swaggerblonde I’m so with you on those rally games - y’know, I really love em and they do a good job so it’s testament to the magic of Daytona more than the shortcomings of others that they can’t touch it. I honestly still get the buzz every time firing this up!! - bedgell
That was an extremely fun chat lads! I'm 100% with you Bedge, about just how dull real driving Sims are, both in terms of their physics and the boring race tracks they're set on. I'd rather be playing 1990's graphics Daytona over PS5 Gran Turismo 7 with all its quadrillion polygons and ultra realistic graphics. A dull track is a dull track no matter how realistically it's rendered. Dibbs, totally with you too on what a quantum leap this seemed like in the arcade at the time. Excellent points as well about just how much the clever AI adds to the gameplay. Hey, if you fellas decide to do a similar video on Daytona USA 2 or Scud Race, I'd love to get involved and chat with you both on the subject in one of your vids.
@@MrThunderwing mate, that’s a cracking idea! I tell ya tho, considering how often I talk about scud race I need to match that with getting some games in! I need to find one in the wild and get playing again!! at least we have had a few games break the sim mould recently and go arcade style - long may that continue!! - bedgell
Have you guys ever played Hotshot Racing? I love Daytona, OutRun, and Ridge Racer and Hotshot Racing just gives great memories of those games that I love so much that I spent hours upon hours in HR just because of how fun the game looks and plays. It was actually my number 1 pick for the best racing game of the last decade. It's just simple, pure, arcade fun for anyone to pick up and play! :D
@@luxerhusku2609 that’s definitely up my street! Also been a fan last year of super retro gp which is sort of billed as a virtua racing tribute but sort of plays a bit more like Daytona or scud race. You’ve def got great taste though dude!! - bedgell
@Gaming_For_Ages Super Retro GP, DDI Rally Championship, Victory Heat Rally, and Parking Garage Rally Circuit! Really great games to look into that I really enjoyed last year.

Agreed with all the points in this vid! There's a reason why I keep going back to 90s Sega racers, all the modern stuff feels boring and like work, those blue blue skies are just way too fun!
Definitely! I remember when UK Resistance launched their Blue Skies in Gaming campaign - they were totally on to something! 😂 Sounds like we’re of a similar mindset for sure, the 90’s Sega racers are totally where it’s at for us.

"Daytona, let's go away" ...where? WHERE ARE WE GOING? WHY ARE WE GOING AWAY DAYTONA? WHY?! Also the arcade versions will always be superior. I don't know why, but all the home versions including the Dreamcast version feel wrong, like... the car is all weird and squidgy, the handling is off. There's something about the arcade cabinet that never translated properly to any home releases.
The arcade is definitely top of the pile for sure! I was just happy that I could pull off the power slide in the Saturn version coz they did a decent job capturing the gameplay in that one, even if the graphics were a million miles away! 😂 Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment, and happy new year to you! - Dibbs
It was the developers. You had Yu Suzuki and his top developers tuning every parameter of the physics engine and playing the game to death until it is perfect. Also doing location testing and getting feedback. Do you thing the home ports had a similar treatment? Also we don't know if they had access to the original source code for the home ports or just the assets. Even if they had the source code without having the originals dev's it would be difficult to understand how to tune it in order to have the proper feel for the cars.
It’s to do with the gears, shifting down to 2nd (or 1st on occasion) to start the slide, then putting it back into 3rd or 4th to grip the road again. It takes a bit of practise but once you get it it’s so much fun. Thanks for watching! - Dibbs
The perfect version of this game was for the xbox 360 / ps3. I still play it and still enjoy its appeal after all these years.
