Daytona USA Sega Saturn Review *Now with new bits I forgot*

[d123456]

Saturn Daytona´s framerate is worst than an animated gif picture.
Sega rally had a good frame rate! they should´ve taken that engine and expand it a bit.

B) I have never played 2001 and I wouldn't be the right person to compare it because we got the watered down PAL version.

What was wrong/different with the PAL version?

perhaps 50 hz, but I can´t imagine it did not have a 60 hz selection screen during boot up, but it could be that!

Haha I have the PAL version, but I've never played it, and I'm too lazy to check, but I can't imagine it doesn't have a 60 hz option either.

Anyways, I looked online and it seems we didn't get the online play. That seems to be the only difference I think (other than possibly being 50hz only).

In all despite a big list of set backs Daytona is still a very enjoyable and faithful conversion of the arcade game as long as you don't mind playing it alone, it doesn't hold a candle to the arcade version but considering what the Saturn was capable of it was a good effort, especially for a launch title.

I don't know why people keep bashing the Sega Saturn in 3d games it had While it was difficult to develop for compared to the PS1 fantastic 3d games that showed off it's power.

The only thing it lacked to my mind was transparent polygons otherwise the Saturns polygons had it's own strengths and weaknesses against the PS1.
Notably the Sega Saturns quad polygons had a lot less warping compared to the PS1 counterparts.

Going with the review on Daytona USA however the game was great but quite a poor conversion but how could anyone compare it the Model 2 Arcade which was at the forefront of 3d graphics back then better than anything available in the home.

I seriously doubt that even the N64 could replicate it's graphics faithfully.

For a game that shows off some of the Sega Saturns 3d Power try Virtual On it looked and played extremely close to the Model 2 Arcade but lacked transparent polygons which the model 2 Arcade also lacked.

Btw the Sega Saturn Daytona still one of my favourite games of all time despite it's graphical short comings

The Daytona USA CE edition for Sega Saturn had much better graphics but of course played and felt very different to the original Arcade version.
Perhaps a remix ala Virtua Fighter remix would have been better than a CE edition
