Here’s a video of me creating an OutRun deluxe cabinet.
Starting from the sketch to colouring it in using an App called ProCreate on the iPad.
This was done by only using my finger as the art brush.
I’m hoping to get the final image on a 12″x12″ canvas print.
Check out this great OutRun diorama found on Twitter.
Looks like the blonde babe has final stopped hitting our OutRun driver and their finally getting it on.
80’s electro music maker Kavinski ( the guy behind the music album OutRun) is a French celebrity who’s a big SEGA OutRun fan.
He’s already got a copy of Yu Suzuki Game Works personally signed by Yu and now he’s got an OutRun marquee signed.
Do you have anything signed by Yu Suzuki or have you ever met the legend behind OutRun?
Photographer Danny Passarella has mixed his love for 80’s arcade cabinets with his home town Whitley Bay and the results are awesome.
Check out these SEGA arcade machines photographed like you’ve never seen them before.
I’ve recently been tinkering with drawing an Outrun Deluxe machine as part of an art project focusing on my younger years of enjoying the big arcade machines of the 80’s. (Below)
I’ve shared my work with Yosuke Okunari , producer at SEGA and project collaborator with M2 (The guys who have been delivering the 3DS 3D SEGA Classics ).
I’m not sure if Okunari-san thought it was a old OutRun SEGA drawing or if he just wanted to share a recent picture that was taken as part of an interview for the release of 3D OutRun.
He’s shared a very , very early OutRun development sketch of the OutRun cabinet. Check it it below!
This image above was drawn much earlier than the images seen in the Yu Suzuki GAMEWORKS book release during the Dreamcast era. (Seen below)
Hope you enjoyed seeing these early concept images of one of the best arcade cabinets ever released.
If your looking forward to OutRun appearing in 3D on the Nintendo 3DS and you live outside of Japan right now it’s a bit of a bummer.
To get your OutRun fix head over to Nintendo’s Miiverse and you can see some cool OutRun fan art and read the comments of those lucky Japanese gamers who have already downloaded the game.
Here’s a few pics from some of the lucky Outrun owners below.
[OutRun romance]
[Crash Out]
[Credit Roll – Are the OutRun couple going separate ways?]
[Some of the OutRun cars look different with the optional extras like this Green car]
[My effort of a Stylus attempt at Yu Suzuki]
Here’s a cool Video of the Gear Gatcha mode and the Deluxe Cabinet selection (with shaker motor simulated)
The below pic is I believe from the end credits!
Here’s a pretty cool pic that keeps turning up. Is the car stuck?
What would you play? The arcade or 3DS version.
The Yu Suzuki Easter Egg is present
As well as Ferrari licensing not going ahead some other changes have occurred due to SEGA playing it safe to copyright infringement.
Above – M2 have put there stamp on a previous billboard that promoted KTM motorbikes
Above – As well as the players car being changed the AI cars have also. OutRun had pretty close replicas of Porsche 911 , Voltswagon Beetle and a BMW. Each car has been tweeked
Above – This pic sourced from Twitter shows the variation from the Arcade car to the Yu Suzuki DreamWorks version to the 3D OutRun game. Each has some level of change.
More details are being released on additional modes from completing each Goal.
Cornering
Car enhanced handling. It is possible to drive without slipping on a sharp curve.
Bumper
Car with enhanced bumper. It is possible to not crash with contact to traffic.
Engine
Car top speed is up. It is possible to run at 350 kilometers per hour or more.
Tire
Car with a special tires. Car will still run at speed even if going of the track. This is like using the Gear Gacha cheat, a technique that was used in the 80’s to get quicker times going off road without loosing speed.
If you complete all Goal’s A – E an Arcade mode will appear.
This is meant to replicate the Arcade version…does this mean the Testarossa is a hidden feature… I don’t think so. I believe it’s a 30fps mode as the game runs at 60fps on the 3DS.
Selecting a certain option brings up this ……..
A smoking engine! But what does this mean?
Well Japanese gamers are in for a treat today as 3D OutRun hits the Japanese Nintendo eShop.
Here’s some pics so far (Source Twitter)
The Japanese eShop page – OutRun is here!
The classic Deluxe Arcade Cabinet rotates around the screen as an intro before selecting the game to load.
The Options Screen. Nice OutRun Logo.
In game rolling intro.
Below is a YouTube video showing 3D OutRun in action
Here’s a cool double page spread from a 1986 Japanese games magazine called Game Freak.
It features coverage from the 1986 Japan Amusement Expo where OutRun was unveiled to the industry and public.
There’s a few photos of people trying out OutRun for the first time and you will see a photo of the OutRun game card and dispenser that I posted about last year.
If you missed it here’s a picture below
It’s a pretty cool card, this version was only available at the show.
Would you of loved to go to this show? Or was you lucky enough to attend back in 1986?
