SEGA Amusement has certenately gained some old school SEGA fans ever since they announced Daytona 3 Championship USA earlier this year. It seems like SEGA Amusement will continue resurrecting old SEGA franchises, at least that’s what it sounds like. In a recent interview with Arcade Heroes CEO Paul Williams was asked about the posibility of OutRun 3.
Here is what Paul Williams, CEO of SEGA Amusement International had to say about OutRun 3:
“Outrun 3 is not on plan at the moment. It is something that is on our radar but I cannot discuss more than that.”
It is interesting that he even spoke about the possibility of OutRun 3, considering how weird SEGA PR used to be in the past. It also seems, from what I gather from the quote that SEGA Amusement has a sort of short list of franchises they would like to bring back. It’s not surprising that Daytona 3 Championship USA is one of the first titles considering how popular the original was. Paul Williams also talks about how they work with SEGA Japan developers and why its hard for them to bring SEGA Japanese games over to the states.
