I know it's probs been asked 100 times but I'm new, do you recon they will ever bring ebisu to the game? I love that track it's so much fun scraping that wall in the game "d1gp" for ps2

Yeah he hates drifters, I guess that's why he's been sponsoring D1GP since 2008.

Do you mean Nobushige Kumakubo? Because I'm talking about gaming rights for the track, you know..
As far as I can tell the nfs series, shift in particular are the only current gen games that include ebisu *not counting rfactor because the tracks are community made not standard* and I may be mistaken but I heard they had sole rights,
I also remember going through this with some people on gt5 and unless it's all changed since 2 years ago, I'm going going to assume we will never get ebisu *any variation*

No such thing as gaming rights. They need the license to reproduce the work which isn't mutually exclusive. They may have a short term contract with NFS for a non compete claus but we don't know that for sure. I don't think Ebisu is in GT because it is primarily a racing game. Ebisu is not known to be a world class race track which means it's not a priority. There are still a lot of international race tracks that haven't been seen on GT so once they get all those then they will focus on pure drifting tracks.

Im under the assumption that EA may currently still have the rights for a non compete. while I'm sure you've seen the entire compound in a popular pc sim, its because the code for nfs games is insanely easy to port and is quite regularly. That being said it does appear that PD are testing waters with content for drift fans, the premium s13 now has Dai yoshiharas body kit with the exception of the hood. We might receive some core drift content and I hope we do, but I would assume it will consist of cars/mods as its easier and less time consuming. I'm not going to hold my breath on anything though.
