''Daytona USA'' is a racing video game developed by Sega AM2 and released by Sega, with a limited release in 1993 followed by a full release in 1994.〔 One of the highest grossing arcade games of all time, ''Daytona USA'' was Sega's first title to debut on the Sega Model 2 arcade board, and, at the time of its release, was considered the most visually detailed 3D racing game. Compared to the flat-shaded polygons of its predecessor, ''Virtua Racing'', ''Daytona's'' 3D-world was fully texture-mapped, giving it a more realistic appearance. ''Daytona'' was one of the first video games to feature filtered, texture-mapped polygons, giving it the most detailed graphics yet seen in a video game up until that time.〔(IGN Presents the History of SEGA: Reap What You Sow ), IGN〕 In single-player mode, Daytona maintained a consistent 60fps (frames per second) rate, even with multiple opponents on screen, surpassing the motion smoothness of the only other racing game in a comparable graphical arena, Namco's ''Ridge Racer''. A slightly updated version of ''Daytona USA'' was re-released in arcades in 2010 as ''Sega Racing Classic''. On 12 October 2011 Sega announced that ''Daytona USA'' would be coming to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. This also marked the return of the original name. The game saw its release on 25 October for PlayStation Network, and 26 October for Xbox Live Arcade. ==Gameplay== The player is put behind the wheel of a stock car (known as the Hornet), with the choice of three tracks as well as an automatic or manual transmission. The player's objectives are to outrun the competing cars, and complete the race before time runs out. ''Daytona USA'' offers multiplayer and introduced the possibility of linking four twin cabinets or eight deluxe cabinets to create an eight-player competition. Linked deluxe cabinets may also include a camera pointing towards the drivers seat, linked to a closed-circuit television to show the player on a separate screen. Even though the game was released years before the ''Daytona USA'' museum (which featured this game in the attraction's arcade) opened next to the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida, the International Speedway Corporation had already held the trademark to the name "Daytona USA." Any future game would require a license to use the name ''Daytona USA''. In 1994 Sega released a revised version of the game which changed the difficulty of computer-controller racing opponents and completely restyled camera motions in the attract mode, pre-race, and victory segments. In 2010, Sega released ''Sega Racing Classic'', essentially the same game running in 720p resolution, and the lyric "Daytona" in the intro & advanced track (Dinosaur Canyon) removed due to licensing issues.〔http://segaretro.org/Sega_Racing_Classic〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daytona USA (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
