So expect lots of questionable explosions.

Well, the game does have a lot of explosions from all the car crashes. Laughing

Aaaaah.....

'Magical Sound Shower' was my favorite tune track. That game was a blast when it was working correctly. The side to side slide of the seat really added to the effect, as did the rumble when you went off the road. The real question is going to be what story they pour the game into, as it was just pure racing.

I wonder how many other weird licenses will arise from the coming video game movie goldrush.

Good payday for Sega over a long dormant franchise, either way.

I am Surprised The Master of Bayhem wouldn’t direct a Spy Hunter or Road Blasters film instead!

Even as someone who has been into OutRun since the Sega Master System port of the original arcade game, I'm mostly indifferent to the prospect of a Michael Bay OutRun movie, hopefully it'll be more Cannonball Run than Fast and Furious (specifically the ridiculous movies in the series post Tokyo Drift).

However, if this means that there's any chance we'll get an OutRun 3 to tie in to the movie, or, at the very least, a remaster of OutRun 2/2006 for modern platforms (with Ferrari re-licensed, I wouldn't buy OutRun 2 again if it only had generic sports cars), I fully support this movie endaevor.

(As long as there'd still be the option of buying OutRun 3 on physical media, with offline single-player mode, no always-online DRM, and the entire game on the disk, of course.)
