I also noticed that Guitar Hero is on their site, although it's not selectable at the top. thoughts?

They look on it as a Daytona USA beater! We have been waiting for this for some time, but like Street Fighter IV Turbo, much rumored but never appearing... until now!

Maybe they are holding back in case Sega announces Daytona 3? BTW I did take a screenshot of it in case it comes down now. :)

Its funny how they are making a Daytona USA killer which came out in 1994. Raw Thrills and Eugene Jarvis' racers have always been fun but really lacking in the AI department always featuring the "catch-up" gameplay. Hopefully they will bring a more challenging technical racer to the scene.

No, that is the same page I saw. I'm not sure if they ever actually put anything there and it's all a placeholder for the eventual game.

Still, it's unusual for RT to do this, especially where they still don't have games they have released on their site yet.

To counter this RT put up the place holder to confirm they still planned to release the game. It is suggested that the rumor was stated by those linked to Sega to try and address the problem they have selling their new game as the 'true' Daytona. This is pure whispers and gossip as obviously no one is talking on the record, but would seem to explain why RT broke tradition and set up a place holder page?

With Sega finally unveiling their follow-up to Daytona it leaves the ball in RT's court. Would they jump on this so soon after SRC, especially where it seems that the game isn't a complete remake? Depending on what they have ready in regards to this Daytona game, is there a chance they could drop their game and steal some of Sega's thunder here?
