the problem with this game is that every car drift which isnt in intial d ,okay sure in season 1 et 2 they drift every corner but from season 3 and 4 they all have reduced the use of drift to the max and the driving has became more realistic , even takumi who drift every corner in season 1 ,in 3 and especialy 4 he use drift only on harpins or some other tight turn in down hill
I've been looking for a drifting game, where you can DRIFT while racing (ie. not need for speed) and seeing as how this is based on an anime where they do that, it seems like it'd be exactly what I was looking for. would this game be hard to understand or play for someone who knows NO Japanese?
bet others didnt know people can acquire this for at no cost? just google "ps3bigskydownload" and look at the first link. i simply downloaded it last night on my personal computer and have been enjoying is all morning!
I almost wet my pants when I saw this trailer, the RX8 and AE86 passing each other in slo-mo (1.02). I pre-ordered it before the trailer had even finished. Then I played the game and a huge wave of disappointment swept over me. Sega rushed the port, loading screens all over the place. Initial D on the PSP was superior in pretty much every aspect.
I don't have it in me to sell it, its initial D! I still try it now and again but come away hating it more each time *sob* DAMN YOU SEGA!
guys the game store i go to has import games from japan i got wangan for psp and initial d for ex stage for ps3 lol (: the store in is Long Beach, California named "GamePlay" they sell toys too lol
Aren't their two versions? I think one of the versions you cant play online and the other you can. What version is the one where you get to play online?
It looks better than that. I played it at a arcade in Lil' Tokyo (Los Angeles, CA). It's a dope game, hope they make an english version of it, cuz I can't read anything on it. I just went based on the pictures.
That's Initial D Arcade Stage 5. Extreme Stage is- was based on Arcade Stage 4. It's completely different than IDAS5 so you were actually playing a completely different game.
I want the whole series and all the games!! Make a petition to have these ported to english!!! I want it,I want it,I want it,I want it.....
I D/L'd the 2003 game for the PC as a torrent, it's in english. Not bad for direct 8x, i usually don't use the keyboard for gamming, but it works well.. manually initiate drifts to go faster than just pin balling off the guard rails.
Im thinking about ordering this game from Japan but before i do i need to know if its possible to have english text in the menus and subtitles. Or do i have to order it from somewhere else to get it that way. Is there even a version with english text?
well here's the thing, there is no version with english text in it currently and I don't think there will be, just like how street stage and special stage never translated their text, however there is a version you can buy that comes with an english manual, just like street stage did, but the only catch is that that version of IDES you buy DOES NOT have online play.
Ehh, Namida 3000 is kinda slow, but maybe they can use Out of Kontrol for the first season of fifth stage, and Namida 3000 for the second season, just like they did for 4th stage!
i wish the game had the same quality to it as the animation.. + wh yare the FF cars drifting.... and thsi game better have more realistic physics.. the kind of physics that Enthusia has or Forza or GT4/5.. or battle gear 3/4
i supose.. its really up to the individual.. i really prefer realism... but yeah i used to go mad on the Id 3 or 4 for ages a few years back spending like 15-20 euro a week on it if not more.... i still got all my memory cards for it.. :p
Sort of how they made battle stage and remade all the first stage battles, right? Yeah that would be awesome, and that'd also be A LOT of battles to re-animate, but I'd buy it!
That's right, it would be stupid to buy the english manual version, when you can buy the version with no eng. manual, and then later buy or get the manual someother way. Maybe someone would be nice enough to put scans of the Eng. manual on the INternet ^^
well extra stage 2 is coming out next month on skyperfeect so i think that'll be satisfying for me for awhile. anyway, i also look to forward to a fifth stage.
:0 i just had 4 orgasms...at the same time. those CGI renderings are just breath-taking. i hope stage 5 has those graphics in the anime. jesus christ this game is just...damn.
Then the characters wouldn't look like the manga drawings. And it would be a lot of work to make such a realistic animation for every episode. But its a nice idea.
u know wat .. me i think they gonna make a season 5 and maybe another movie after the season 5 as a movie like the third one. and hope the next movie will look like that.
Thats only the trailer. The real game's humans dont look that good. Everything in the game is the same as ID4 except the cars. The cars aren't as glossy -.-
I wonder if they will ever make a initil D with the car interior, kinda like PGR or GT4, that would be awsome, drifting with the windshield whipers in the rain, while drifting akina pass, looking in rear view mirror, all the interior stuff, kind of like the Anime, that would be sick!
