Outrun 2006: Coast2Coast

[watusi]

Forgot what an amazing game this. had a few problems with the emulation though. the sound screwed up a couple of times and its crashed loading as well. hope they get the small niggles fixed.

...so we can only think the Japanese spec wheel is somehow different.

There isn't a Japanese GT Force, it's Euro only IIRC. They got the basic one (GT) and then the Pro (GT4).

I was under the impression that PAL and US PSP saves were interchangeable. It doesn't seem to be the case.

If I hook the US PSP version with the PAL PS2 version will they interchange data?

Gotten back into this game big time this weekend, thanks to it's 360 compatibility.

I remember isamu said something about the PC version feeling a little 'off' compared to the XBox... I dismissed it, but I think I'm feeling the same thing. Maybe it's the old placebo effect though.

Either way, having real fun starting this from scratch.

Glad you're enjoying it Jake. My main complaint regarding the PC verison was that the steering felt kind of loose with the deadzone and all, and it didn't quite feel as "analoggy" and buttery as the Xbox version. Since this is basically running on a 360 with the exact same code, I'd be real surprised if there was anything off about the steering. VR said it plays really well with the 360 wireless wheel. Sucks about the shift paddle problem though.

My main concern are the bugs. I remember playing Coast 2 Coast on Xbox 1, and running into several extremely bizarre glitches that I will list below. Jake or anyone else, I'd would like to know if you guys have ever experienced the following glitches/bugs in your particular copy of OR2006 Coast 2 Coast:


1)Online, the animations for Jungle, Waterfalls, Milky Way, etc would completely freeze and remain static. Wonder if this is fixed on the 360?

2)Sometimes, upon moving into another stage, my camera would suddenly go from bumper cam view, to this weird, far away in the sky, top down "slot cars" view, then switch back again after a quick second.

3)This is without a doubt the worse one, and pretty much caused me to stop playing the Xbox version:

Sometimes, whenever I'd get too close and start to scrape the guard rails or wall, the game would put my car back on the middle of the road at full stop, in a very sudden and disruptive manner. I'd be scraping along the rail trying to pull my car away and before you know it, I'm in the middle of the street at a complete halt as if I hit an invisible wall. This was VERY distracting!!!! It totally annoyed the hell out of me and I just completely threw my hands up and moved onto Ridge Racer.

I am hoping this was due to my Xbox console and not the game. If it was my console, then hopefully these annoying glitches are gone while running emulated on the 360. If it was my specific copy of Coast 2 Coast, then I'd be more than willing to buy another one that isn't defective. Keep in mind I'm in the U.S. and would need another U.S. copy.

Jake or anyone else, if you come across any of the glitches above, please reply back and let me know. I'm curious if it was just me.

I just tried this recently, seems really nice on 360, although there are some sound problems.

On a side note, I tried a few others, Grab by the ghoulies..which is ace and PD Orta, which doesnt work after the 3rd stage which is a bummer.

[saturn-gamer]

damn Orta still not fixed?

Is the regular Outrun 2 worth it by the way? For the classic outrun or smt. I do have Outrun C2C.

Are the Daytona 2 tracks in C2C, I can't find them in my list.. used the ENTIRETY cheat.

[Kotatsu Neko]

I haven't had any problems with Orta. Works fine for me right through the whole game.

Are we talking PAL here, because I am. It doesnt work past the 3rd stage on the PAL version.

No, NTSC. I don't own any PAL games...

Daytona and Scudrace tracks are only on the original Outrun 2, and you can get it for like a fiver now, so it's worth a look imo. The original ver of outrun on Outrun 2 is unfortunately 30fps and a good chunk of Outrun 2 runs at 30fps on my 360 :/

So does Coast 2 Coast run better on the 360 than the original Outrun 2? I wasn't sure whether to ask on here or on the Backwards compatible thread, as it's related to this game only.

[saturn-gamer]

Outrun C2C runs fine enough on the 360. It has some slight framedrops but nothing too major. I do know that those games were without any frameloss on the regular Xbox.

[Volition]

Phew, upscaled running at 1080p on a ps3+bravia d3000....holy hell thats a sexual slice of gaming right there!

Yeah it does, C2C only goes jerky now and again (and never real bad), whereas Outrun2 seems to be jerky all the time. Maybe C2C has a more refined engine or something I guess.

If your asking that because you plan to get C2C, don't ask, just get it! It's got everything Outrun2 and 2SP has (bar the aforemention Outrun2 extras), with a new spin and new stuff too..

C2C and RR7 are my favourite racers since Sega Rally.

Got this in the post today, looks lush in HD through VGA, nearly as good as the stunning PC version. Hope there are people playing online.
