SEGA Amusement has been making the rounds with old school SEGA fans ever since they announced Daytona 3 Championship USA earlier this year. It seems that SEGA Amusement will continue resurrecting old SEGA franchises, at least that’s what it sounds like. In a recent interview with T3, SEGA Amusement International CEO Paul Williams had this to say about a possible 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. Its 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. Very interesting read.
What are your thoughts of the possiblity of OutRun 3? Let us know in the comments below!

I’m stoked. I just hope that this time they’ll leave themselves an easy out if they use a license again so they don’t have to pull the entire game.
Ash you got your wish, if you get to read this😀
🙂 Hell yeah!
By some chance did you play any of the Outrun that came out about 7 years ago give or take a year? I liked the demo I played of it back then.
I have the XBox version of Outrun 2 and Outrun 2: Coast to coast but the best is the arcade version. Too bad, the XBLA and PSN version is no longer avalaible.
I love the XBLA version, is like the Original Xbox version, but it adds Force Feedback support.
Is like having the arcade in your house.
I wish they got the licenses back and make it available on Xbox One
Credit should be given to T3.com for the long informative interview (soon a part 2 of it as well).
You’ re right, Marco Zangirolami for T3.com made the interview with the CEO of Sega Amusements International, not arcade heroes who just commented the interview.
Oh my God, I would love a new OutRun! That’s always been my favorite driving series.
Playing OutRun 2006 on PS2 in anticipation 🙂
