VIDEO: Sega's classic OutRun returning on XBox Live
Sega's OutRun Online Arcade – Click above to watch video after the jump
With many worried that government regulations will soon strangle the concept of having fun in an actual car, it's convenient that game makers are developing more ways to have fun with virtual cars. SEGA is updating that old arcade classic OutRun with the latest in automaker metal, and the new game will arrive as OutRun Online Arcade on XBox Live Arcade and the Euro-version PlayStation Network.
Up to six players can play three different modes on 15 U.S. tracks while driving any of ten Ferraris, which is a much better selection than the original's only option: a Ferrari Testarossa convertible. Imagine Formula D in a Dino or Enzo and you're pretty close. But even Formula D doesn't offer you this: "If you impress your girlfriend enough in Heart Attack Mode, you will receive special requests." Okay... For U.S. customers, the game will be out June 30th on XBox Live Arcade, but for now you can check out gameplay video of this updated oldie after the jump.

The X-bow should be in a movie.

The new Outrun is a JOKE.
I much prefer the old one, with the Testarossa Convertible, and the ditzy blonde yelling out "SLOW DOWN!" "AHHH!"

Ballsy move at 1:39 of the second video. Pretty sure a driver would be on the verge of soiling himself if this happened in real life.

I was thinking the same thing. If I could drift between two cars in a curve while going 270 km/ hr immedieately after side swiping a bus I'd be the man.
