Outrun 2 - JPN Daytona USA 2 tracks with Traffic (HD Capture via Component Cables)
70Some more far better quality (than my previous composite cable capture) 480p HD video of the Japanese bonus stages in Outrun 2 running on my softmodded original Xbox, via Elgato HD Component capture.
This time I've turned the number of rivals down to one, but I've turned the traffic option on. Normally when doing a VS Rivals race I tend to use MT for it's faster gear drifting. However, in order to do a full speed gear drift, you need to be going at least 150mph-ish, otherwise it doesn't work (unless you drop down to 4th and then go 4-3-4) and with all the other vehicles on the road it makes minor collisions and speed loss very hard to avoid, so I find it's just easier to stick with Automatic for a traffic run. It always amuses me to see all the regular Outrun traffic on the these Daytona USA 2 stages, seeing coaches and tankers and on the NASCAR style stage at the end and going through the Joypolis 2020 Amusement Park.
The Japanese version of Outrun 2 on the Xbox is more accurate to the arcade original version of Daytona USA 2: Power Edition's Challenge course. There are some significant differences between this version and the western version.
The game starts on the right section of the track in the Japanese game. In the Western one it starts further back than Daytona USA 2 did. Starting further back on the track is less accurate to the arcade version, but it does make it easier to tackle the first proper corner you get to, because in the JPN version you don't have enough run up to get up to speed to initiate a proper full speed gear drift if you're using manual.
The bunki is covered over as you move from the first part (Joypolis 2020 Amusement Park - advanced) to the second part (Virtua City expert), like in the arcade version of Daytona USA 2. In the western game is just looks like a regular Outrun 2 bunki. This is a big, big improvement.
You come out of the bunki in the right area in the JPN version (which actually makes it much harder), than you did in the western game. The western game brings you out into a slightly different, earlier part of Virtua city, which is a little easier to navigate... this actually means that although the JPN version is more arcade accurate, you do actually get more bang for your buck as far as the Daytona 2 expert stage goes in the western game, including the big U turn at the end of it by the Great Central Station.
