Arcade 1UP - Outrun driving cabinet coming
Howard_Casto:
Here's the thing.... a star wars yoke and a racing wheel are two different things and should be priced accordingly. The only people that make yokes these days are hobby enthusiasts and the cheapest you are going to get one is $150.
On the other hand a low end wheel without force feedback is 50 or 60 bucks. So from my perspective at least, that outrun cabinet should be about $100 cheaper.
Also imho both the stand up and benchtop models are unplayable. The stand up is going to be too short, even with the riser, so you'll be hunched over trying to keep your balance while working a wheel and usign pedals. As I've previously mentioned the bench model doesn't cut a hole out to put the pedals in, so it's worthless as well. At least with the Star Wars model feet aren't required to play the game so it doesn't matter if they are uncomfortable.

i think the target audience with the whole arcade1up series is meant to be preteens … but they don't want to play games like these. :dunno
i think arcade1up missed their target audience and just rolling with the 40 somethings that do despite all the shortcomings.

Well with my 1up I have the riser and it was uncomfortable to play on as I am tall. I placed it on a furniture dolly and it gave me more height to comfortable play on and I can move it better with all the crap I have inside it. $10 for the dolly or make your own.

This one is tempting to add to the collection but I'm not sure I'm digging the design of this one. The bench is a no-go. I was able to work the other two into a nice corner of the living room, but the bench would take up too much room.

Thats what the standup version is for.

I know there's a stand-up model, but outside a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of it in the video, it's not heavily publicized, nor do I see it for sale on their site yet. (I think they're doing the "sit down" model first for now?) And if the pedals will attach the same as the sit-down (outside the cabinet, tucked), not digging that too much. Feels like they'll be trampled or tripped over. I'm making assumptions about the final product at this point though, FWIW.

I always figured the $500 price on the Star Wars was the license costs, as the Yoke was likely obtained much cheaper than the average hobbyist would pay. They ordered in bulk and are using more inexpensive materials than the high-end ones you see. I am wondering if the standard riser version of OutRun will come out cheaper considering a steering wheel is more generic than Atari's Yoke design.
And I have to say, I don't think the height (with the riser) is a big problem for me. I'm 6'2". I'm fine. Although I don't really play at any significant length of time either - maybe in short bursts. Although if you're taller than me then, yeah, it could prove a little painful after a while.
