Boomslang from the Teknoparrot Team made the Daytona Championship USA New Season Edition public last night. Nice one Mr Booms, very awesome of you!
The 'New Season' was a software update for Daytona Championship USA by Sega that added new features to the game - from Sega's press blurb:
"Improved Car Handling – Lets players have greater control of their car and feel even closer to all the action
New Dynamic In-Game Camera – This new feature lets players experience the race with dynamic camera angles making the gameplay feel more natural.
New Graphics and Improved Lighting – These two features combined with the dynamic in-game camera deliver a bright, crisp and modern gameplay.
New Car Models and Damage Modelling – Players can challenge their friends with new cars and witness jaw-dropping crashes and damage to cars.
New Top 3 Race Highlights – This feature brings Daytona’s competitive game spirit to the front by letting players know their race position in relation to their competitors.
New Car Liveries – New liveries make all the cars look fresh attracting existing and new players.
Updated Live Player Camera – This improves the live overtake camera system, letting players show their race face and feel closer to the action!"
I haven't tried getting FFB working yet (I’m going out later so I’m a bit limited for time this morning – I just dug my wheel out and fired the game up for a quick blast on a few tracks), which Boomslang mentioned was a big improvement over the previous version of Championship USA.
The graphics definitely look a bit better, Lakeside Speedway looks lighter which makes it easier to see the track and I think the cars look a bit more shiny and better defined. Still not sure what the new dynamic-in-game camera’s about…
The biggest gameplay improvement I noticed, and much more in-line with the old Model 2 game, was that (as far as I could tell) the cars no longer loose tons of speed if you accidentally clip a wall. That's a big improvement! It makes the game feel much more authentically Daytona and improves the flow of gameplay
