Is this a rehash of the prior ps2/xbox/psp games? Hopefully not… but it’s the new SEGA so who knows.

Ah, Outrun … one of the few games that revolves around Cars that I ever actually liked, along with Carmageddon and Vigilante 8.
I’ve pretty much played every Outrun that ever was, from the Sega Master System and the arcades up to Coast 2 Coast, it’s the only street-racing (and I use the term racing loosely) game I’ve ever had that kind of interest in. So I’m looking forward to this, too.

Could be really good. I hope they’re going to properly update the gfx and not just fart out some lazy port.
