us Sega announces Daytona 3 Championship USA

Sega announces Daytona 3 Championship USAWe already knew that Sega would bring Target Bravo: Operation G.H.O.S.T. and Let's Go Island Dream Edition at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2016. But Sega still had to unveil their flagship title and this is done with Daytona 3 Championship USA! The game will include three remastered circuits from the original Daytona USA and 3 new tracks including the modern version of Daytona International Speedway. There will be new cars and new game modes and a live camera system displaying players faces in the game. Good news: developers used the original engine as a base (especially for AI and slipstream management), that should reassure the players who are afraid of ending up with a game lacking in arcade sensations as that was the case with the last Western Sega racing games. As Patrick Michael, head of R&D says: "How could we improve the best?". Another dispelled point of concern: music will be composed by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. No photo of the cabinet has surfaced yet but we already know that it will feature a 47" LED screen and a topper sporting a 27" screen displaying what's happening in the race "Live TV" style. The machine will be fully lit with LEDs and the bottom of the seat will be moulded after a car engine. Like the previous games (dismissing Sega Racing Classic), a network of up to 8 players will be supported! Operators will enjoy a party mode to organize special events and Sega-IQ intelligent menus in the service mode. Will Daytona 3 live up to the expectations that such a name implies? See it for yourself at the IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando on November 15!
