Now that the dust has settled how do we all feel about Lumines Arise?

The graphical leap from 16bit racing games to Ridge Racer on the PSone was crazy. I don’t think we’ll ever see anything like that again…

Random question. Why didn’t Sega evolve Daytona into a franchise? Namco’s Ridge Racer kept evolving with more content over several games. Sega never bothered. That seems like a missed opportunity 🤷🏻♂️
