SEGA-AM2 Outrun 2 annouced !!!!

Wouldn't hold your breath on it only hitting the xbox yet, mate. Its not
even have a release date for any consoles, and Sega isn't foolish enough now
to over do the exclusive thing they did when the xbox came out. I'm a bit
surprised they didn't use Tri-Force after how great F-Zero is turning out, I
guess they wanted to test out the hardware and see what happens.

It's significant that AM2 chose the Chihiro board though, since they've,
I think, been making games only for PS2 lately.

Well, they have made VF4 and Dreamcast/Naomi conversions for the PS2,
but they also did the Shenmue II port and Virtua Cop 3 on Chihiro/Xbox
hardware, so I wouldn't say they are unexperienced with this hardware.

I like Outrun 2, but I was hoping the game was Shenmue III, so I'm a
little disappointed.

Hehe, I was talking about the new AM2 game that was going to be
announced this month and has finally been Outrun 2 and not Shenmue III
(despite the fact the official Shenmue website is going to be relaunched
this month).

It is being made for Xbox-based arcade hardware for a reason. so it
can quickly and easily be ported to the console, with minimum
difficulty and loss of audio/visual. if it was made for NAOMI-3 then
yea, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Also, see here: http://www.gamerfeed.com/index.php?story=3796
which is near the end of the thread (on google)

true. although it's not like AM2 hasn't done anything on Xbox / Chihiro before.
