A game set underwater using the Unreal 3 engine, why hasn't anyone else thought of that?

Irrational did alright with a heavily modified Unreal 2 you have to admit

Yeah, until they realised it wasn't good enough and they upgraded to Unreal 3

[Yoshimax]

ah - touche

[randombs]

about releasing daytona, would EA owning the rights to nascar have something to do with it?

makes you wonder why a guaranteed money-spinner like daytona usa hasn't had a release on any sega collections before...

i could be barking up the wrong tree, though

[Yoshimax]

Nah that wouldn't be a problem it's not officially endorsed, the cars & decals are all made up & no real world drivers !!!

They're just waiting till we're at fever pitch ! I think now it'll probably more likely hit the PSN than XBLA !!

[RuBiQ]

that sucks yoshi if your theory is true, i would kill to play the arcade daytona and also sega rally on XBL as they are two of all all time fave racers.

[ne0star]

I wouldn't worry about it much. At the rate they are milking their old megadrive collections of late there is a good chance it will be multi platform

[ChrisF]

Seeing ne0star's avatar has reminded me... Where the hell are the Neo Geo titles?

[randombs]

imagine that...

although i'd only get sr if it was a port of the saturn one (not too likely). i've got the arcade one on ps2 and i don't like it as much.

but daytona would take the biscuit if they did. sega'd be so rich!

yeah i thought real bout was coming out?

[Yoshimax]

That's purely based on the fact that there's no download size limit on PS3 - I know they upped it on XBLA to about 150mb but that still wouldn't be enough (or would it ?)

[Psyduck]

Not sure which game you're talking about there Yoshi - neogeo ones or daytona, but neogeo go up to about 80mb in size, daytona 1 arcade roms are about 11mb, and daytona 2 80mb as far as I can see, so no problems there.

[randombs]

well they'd get much bigger when they're ported across. i mean sonic on xbla is like 20-odd MB i think, whereas the megadrive original is 1MB

[Psyduck]

depends if they have any need to keep them small - SOTN is smaller than the original. I'm sure they could easily keep them within the limits of 150mb either way.
