Is it brighter than Keisuke`s FD???
Mind you I have to win it now and I havent played GT3 for a long time. I still havent finished Toca Racedriver yet, oh and im probably going to get auto modelista when it comes out over here. I wonder if the Hachi-Roku will be in it??
 
yup!the Hachi-Roku is definitely in the game!along with the Levin (I think the Levin is called Hahi-Go,but I'm not too sure) I've seen some screenshots...repeat..SOME...and I saw the AE86 in there,along with some other very familar cars,if you're an Initial D fan,then I'd suggest you buy this game right when you see it!it looks soooo cool!oh yeah,if anybody wants to know..this a list of all the cars from which companies that I know of,that are gonna be in Auto Modellista

Hmmmm It seems it maybe easyer to recreate Initial D with Auto Modelista, seeing as it also has Akagi. I think you can add decals to the car as well! On with the Redsuns logo on the FD!

I live in England So I think the game will be out even later than november over here :mad: oh well I can wait.
 
it would suck if the game came out at a later time just cause you live in England,ya know?but that's the way it goes sometimes...which is stupid,but oh well..hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer than the US version...and yes it would be more interesting to reinact the race between Takumi and Keisuke on Auto Modellista because they have Akagi on there (isn't that the Red Suns territory??sorry,I haven't watched Initial D in a while..I'm waiting for 4th Stage to come out ^_^) but if you wanna reinact the race even better...then I would suggest buying Battle Gear 2 for Playstation 2,it's Initial D for PS2 to be exact,cause even on the front of the box,it has the AE86 drifting right next to this guardrail in what looks to be behind him,Keisuke's FD!so I would suggest any of you that have a Japanese PS2 or a mod-chip in yours,then buy it! :D

P.S. here's what the cover of the game looks like,check it out!

Yeah thats what happens when you live in europe.

1. Japan Gets the game First
2. America Gets the Game next
3. everywhere else gets the game then
4. Europe and Australlia gets a badly converted Slow PAl version of the game.

My internet at the moment is getting on my nerves and wont load the link but ill take your word for it ;)

I really need to get a mod chip for my machine.
BTW is the Place where Takumi learned to drive called Akina?
 
yup,and here's the way I think it is right now,but not too sure

1. Akina Speedstars/Takumi/AE86 - Akina
2. Red Suns/Ryosuke/FC - Akagi
3. Night Kids/Nakazato/R32 - Myogi
4. Emperor/Kyouchi/LanEvoIII - Hirazaka (or somethin' like that)
5. Mako & Sayuki/Sil-Eighty - Usui

and I think that's all the teams...well,all the ones I can think of anyways...but if you wanna get really technical,I forgot to put the team called "Thunder",but that's only cause nobody (as far as I know of) knows where those guys are from and frankly..hardly anybody cares =P,so to answer your question,yes,Akina is the place where Takumi learns to drive/drift

Ja

Koji Sakujin

P.S. I wonder what team Ken Kogishiwa (sorry if I spelt his last name wrong ^_^) is from,or maybe he's just an idol racer?if you forgot his name,he's the guy with the blue Toyota MR2,or otherly known as SW20 and it's a Midship Engine type car,he's introduced in Initial D Third Stage-The Movie

P.P.S. does anybody know if there's a blue SW20 (MR2) you can win on GT3?cause I bought one,but it's that light purple color and on some courses it looks like it's blue,but on other courses,it looks purple/light blue...so if anybody could help me,then I'd really appreciate it..thanks!
 
Uhh...I disagree about the above comment about Battle Gear 2 being Initial D for the PS2. In Japan, right now, that game is based on an arcade game of the same name, and it competes directly with Initial D Arcade Stage and Midnight R (based on another racing anime, sporting great graphics and the gameplay from Tokyo Xtreme Racer series, SP meter, challenges and all). BG2 compared to Initial D Arcade Stage, it is nothing! Worse graphics, worse steering wheel and stuff, but more cars.

Did you notice that we get all the crappy racing arcade games? All we have are San Francisco Rush 2099 and Daytona crap from 1996, along with Star Wars: Podracer! Why? They should make Project Gotham Racing and Need for Speed 2 for the arcade game or somethin, that's why the business is stale! We need better games!

And somewhere on this board or Granturismo.com's, I wrote a preview of Auto Modellista and Sega GT 2002. You'll get a lot more info from that. It was titled something like "Sega GT 2002 vs. GT3".

Anyways, AM (Auto modellista) has great cartoony graphics and effects, lots of muffler explosions and stuff, all the cars you listed, including the normal 3+ versions of the Lancer Evo, and you can customize the cars anyway you want, from stickers to colors to parts. Also, you can customize your car's settings, but the added bonus of auto settings for each course. You don't have to buy cars, but you can only have one at a time, so it is neccessary to have multiple saves. I haven't figured out drifting in that game yet. Strange.

AE86, I read somewhere that the SW20 belongs to the RedSuns Shingo Shouichi's (Civic SI) friend, Ken. Heard he's also tryin to get with one of those Impact Blue girls. This leaves me to believe taht Ken is in fact part of the RedSuns, or just a friend.

Y2TUSCAN, it sucks that Tahaiti maze isn't a normal road, cause it's got the consecutive turns and everything! Instead of Deep Forest, I would try Grand Valley Raceway, however. It's got much harder turns instead of the lil S-Curve looking ones in Dep Forest. However, Deep Forest is much prettier.

AE86, about the yellow FD3s, I think its a lil dark, huh. I think that the yellow on the FD is more like the Civic Type R or the Lancer Evo VII.
 
haha i was playin Initial D Arcade Stage while i was in Japan. The speakers were SOOOOOO LOUD!!!! After i left the arcade, i was half deaf and my head was just pounding!! I've played all 3 games (Midnight R, Battle Gear 2, and Initial D Arcade Stage). Initial D was da best, Midnight R da worst cuz all u do is pick a skyline R34 and you basically win. The Arcade worker guy was playing while standing. All he did was have his foot on the gas the whole time and he never lost.
 
ACTUALLY....the truth is..Battle Gear 2 is Initial D,only it's called Initial D Arcade Stage while it's in the arcades...if you don't believe me,then look at this screenshot from Initial D Arcade Stage,then look at the one for Battle Gear 2 (for PS2) and tell me that they're not the same game ^_^

Initial D Arcade Stage screenshot

Battle Gear 2 screenshot

http://www.taito.co.jp/d3/cp/bg2/ghost/sc0010b.jpg

check out the car in front of the "secret" car you get to win later on...it's an AE86!and compare both of the screenshots,then tell me if Battle Gear 2 isn't Initial D for PS2...well,Initial D Arcade Stage ^_^...and even if you still continue to think it isn't,then why would they also put the AE86 having a battle against the FD on the front cover of the game?and I why would they also have every car from Initial D in the same exact color they are on the anime (as the default color,I'm sure there's more colors) AND...not too mention the fact that on Battle Gear 2,you can race on Myogi,Akagi,and Akina!including others!but you have to unlock some...so see,I've read tons of articles about this,so =P

and besides..if I didn't know what I was talkin' about,then why would I even be makin' such a big deal of it..hmmm?

Yeah If tahiti maze was tarmac and had the same sort of scenery as deep forest that would be perfect, lots of hairpins and elevation changes. I chose Deep forest reverse because it probably has the most simmilar scenery, although maybe ill ty and do some other races on different tracks.
 
But, when I was in Japan, there were two different games, Battle Gear 2 and Initial D arcade Stage, right next to each other. Who knows, Initial D Arcade Stage, which was made by Sega, may be a sequel to Battle Gear 2, but not very bloody likely.

And yeah, those pics arent of great quailty, so they look a lil the same, but i assure you, ID had much better graphics than BG2.

Also, what happens with anime-videogame renditions, you usually see like the main characters plastered on it, right? BG2 did not feature any of those characters whatsoever.

Initial D was a great anime, very popular in Japan, so it is only a matter of time before someone takes the ideas of it and puts it in a game that doesnt have anyting neccessarily to do with the original. Besides, if you knew of some good racing mountains such as those you listed, wouldn't you, too, put those in your racing game?

All I'm trying to say is, taht they are both two different games. And, yes, BG2 may be an unliscensed version of Initial D, but ID Arcade Stage (made by Sega) and BG2 (made by Taito) are not the same game. What you're looking, fellow ID enthusiast, is the PS2 version of BG2 for the Arcade!
 
no,not necissarily...now just because the arcade version of a game was made by a different company,doesn't EXACTLY mean it'll be made by the same people whenever it gets to a console ^_^,that's like sayin',"Hey,I just played Sonic at the arcade,I wonder if it'll come out for the Super Nintendo or Playstation 2",it's not happenin',cause it's made by Sega,so they have to get somebody else to make it for them...and if they have to get someone else to make it for them,then that company isn't gonna steal (well,they can't anyways,cause of copyrights) their ideas..such as,the name of the game (arcade version) or maybe even some of the attributes that come with the game..they may put on some of the same courses and give you some of the same cars,but others you'll probably have to unlock,and oh,look...it has a different looking setup from the arcade version!maaaaaaaybe it's cause they don't have the right to make it the SAME EXACT WAY IT LOOKED IN THE ARCADE????hmmmmm?so see...it all comes down to it where,the games sometimes,when they come from the arcades aren't gonna stay the same...they'll add different things to it to make it look cooler or give you a different course,or character,etc...as far as I'm concerned,wasn't Samurai Showdown named Samurai Spirits in Japan?see...exactly what I'm talkin' about...it came from a different place,it was in the arcade,but when it was brought here,they did different things to it..such as,changing the name to it..so ANYWAYS....I do believe Battle Gear 2 IS Initial D Arcade Stage...just a few adjustments were made...and besides,what's so wrong about that anyways?nothing as far as I'm concerned...

Oh, sorry, left something out of my large post. I went to japan about, like, six weeks ago, and there, I was lucky enough to play BATTLE GEAR 2, MIDNIGHT RACER R, and INITIAL D ARCADE STAGE. They were all lined up next to each other, pretty convenient.

INITIAL D: ARCADE STAGE was, to me, the best of the bunch. It had the best graphics and the most arcadey feel, the steering wheel and stuff were both top notch, with a hint of resistance. Also, there was basically a memory card that I could save my car data to, while i beat the Story Mode. This actually enabled me to change the look of my car. Very cool. I could also drive to the high-andrenalin music of Initial D!

MIDNIGHT RACER R was straight up Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero with some anime goodness thrown in. This one was based on an anime, but used the TXRZ SP meter and stuff. It had very good graphics, too.

BATTLE GEAR 2 didn't have as tight a steering wheel as Initial D, and the graphics were like TXRZ for the PS2. It was still a good game, but the graphics and stuff were a bit worse. It featured timed races and a lot of cars, but it wasn't as easy to drift as in Initial D Arcade Stage was. It seemed to me as a lil more like a sim game than the other two.

Out of all these, Initial D: Arcade Stage was the clear winner in my mind, and, if you search hard enough, there are some arcade machines of that game floating around!

All I'm trying to say is, BG2 and Initial D: Arcade Stage are both two different arcade games. BG2 for the PS2 is a worthy substitute for initial d console gaming, we see that, but it does not have the music. Oh, Tingboy in the 2nd page of our squabble, said that he also went to Japan and found BG2 and ID there. He, as well, liked ID better.

Oh yeah. I read somewhere that Sony is making a Initial D PS2 game in the works. Let's hope it's way better than the PS version.
 
I'm actually tired of this whole quarrel thing goin' here (if there was one ^_^) I happened to buy Initial D for PS a long time ago and I thought it was a pretty kick ass game,I just never got the last car you had to unlock,so I was like,"oh well,at least I'll still have pretty awsome races =D!" and I ordered a Japanese PS2 earlier today,so I can play all them awsome games that we NEVER end up getting -_-....such as one a heard that was called by the name of "Wangan Midnight" and this awsome game I can't find for sale yet...but hopefully soon.."Vouge 3" that looks like it'd be pretty cool...this is what the cases look like if you guys ever see the games around for sale..especially Vouge 3!

and also,for some odd reason..I guess just out of curiousity on how this would work,and to add it to the collection,I'll probably be buying this Initial D Typing game ^_^

Oh dang...Tell us how those are when you get em! Look pretty good when I saw em in Japan, but again, I didn't have any extra luggage room!

Wait...Wangan Midnight? That one is based on a racing anime that takes place on the Tokyo freeways i think. This means lotsa big cars and cool freeway challenges. Just so you know, it played like a faster-paced and better looking Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero. SP meter and all. It's got a pretty wide range of cars. I just wonder if we can give them body kits and stuff like in TXRZ. Cool game, but just don't crash into anything, and if you get too far behind, it is over.

Didju notice that America's got the powersliding games and the drifting games are in Japan?

Crap i forgot, I got the Initial D: Another Stage for GameBoy Advance. Much to my chagrin, it is just a turn coming up, you choose your brake and drift style, then you see it happen
You also have brake, spirit and tire meters that go down and stuff. It's pretty mediocre, but the lil GBA's graphics are astounding.

Another question: do we have GT Advance 2? I got a japanese version of it, and it's got all of the japanese cars and stuff. Better graphics, but the races are really unfair, some cars start out a few meters away from the finish line, so they ac tually have a lap on you already. It's got a buttload of cars tho. I heard our GT Advance 2 was a rally racing game.

Oh if yall live in North California, da GolfLands (one in Sunnyvale!) have Initial D:Arcade Stage. They also have the memory cards! I'll giv ya a full report 3-4 weeks later. I don't know when but i'll be going there soon.
 
yeah,I heard Wangan Midnight was a lil like Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero,only...it's like Anime-style racing..well,somewhat..and you get different cars,but it's also made by the same people who made TXRZ,Genki ^_^,so since I liked TXRZ,then that's why I'm probably planning on buyin' it,along with..hopefully that game called Midnight R (I think that's what it's called anyways =P) so I can add it to my,hopefully neverending anime-style racing collection of great games!but anyways,about the typing game,if you can't look anything up on it,then read this article about it!it's really nifty,but from some people I heard it wasn't ALL that great,but it'd be nice to play for Initial D fans,of course..so,here's the article

----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Initial-D is an immensely popular Japanese animation series, which was in turn based on a very hot manga series. The storyline of the Initial-D follows the exploits of a young and talented driver of the legendary Trueno 86 vehicle. If you've never seen the series, try to get your hands on the anime series.

This game would be of interest to anyone who has seen the series. The storyline is very engrossing and boasts an excellent selection of Eurobeat techno/rave songs which are a perfect fit for the Initial-D scenario.

Being a fan of typing games such as Sega's Typing of the Dead, I figured that a typing game based on Initial-D with the hot soundtrack and cutscenes from the anime series couldn't possibly go wrong. I snapped up the game when I saw it on sale for less than half the original retail price. However, after spending a considerable amount of time with the game, I now realize why the game made it to the bargain bin in such a short span of time.

The selection of music tracks and scenes is great, however the delivery of the content is flawed. Despite being a DVD, the quality of the video and music leaves a lot to be desired. The video is grainy and for some reason the music fidelity is poor. I would have thought that the DVD would have allowed the creators to deliver high quality video and music.

Nevertheless, the game does have some nice touches. One of the most memorable scenes from the anime series has the protagonist Takumi going against a rival in a "gum tape deathmatch", in which one of his hands is taped onto the driving wheel. This sequence is played out in the typing game as a stressful one handed typing test. Rather nice.

The problem with this game is that the selection of words do not really generate a sense of excitement. One of the reasons why the Typing of the Dead was an excellent typing game was because of the selection of the words. Morever, the timing and delivery of the words under TotD were excellent as well.

I had some really high hopes for this game. I hope future Initial-D based games will fare better than this half hearted effort." - quoted exactly from ConsoleWar.com

----------------------------------------------------------------------

and by the way..if you've gotten this far by reading everything,then congradulations! :D cause that's a pretty big article ^_^!but just cause someone else doesn't seem to like it doesn't mean I won't buy it..cause I'd rather take my chances on enjoying a 50/50 chance of bein' an awsome game,rather than not buying it,and come to find out,it was a REALLY cool game,and you just basically missed out...so that's why I'm gonna go ahead and buy the Initial D Typing game,and add it to my collection =D

Yo, whats your favorite episode of Initial D? I've got a crapload of money and i want to finally buy one. Never seen an episode=(.

I was thinking of Battle Stage or 3rd Stage Movies, but if you know of any good episodes, please give me your insight.

Also, is Initial D on DVD yet? I want to get int subtitled because I have heard rumors that the english vers. Initial D won't have our favorite music featured in it.
 
Omg I want automodelista!!
I saw a video review and it looked so cool!
It even has those anime style speed lines when you start slipstreaming another car. Oh also I want to try a Lan game with it, but I have to get my friends to buy the game and the network adapter :mad: and then I have to get a hub as well.
 
Spidey: i think they have a sub version of Initial D with the original music selling somewhere....just look around. My bro's friend bought the whole series subbed on DVD.

Y2TUSCAN: AUTOMODELISTA!!!!!!!!I WANT IT REALLY BAD TOOO!!! It has the Akina Mtn track on it!!! you can also play online too^_^ just buy the $40.00 network adaptor which is a ripoff becuz it's just a piece of plastic with wires ^_^ hehe
 
Well it is a Lan/modem
If you think about it an intel Pro 10/100 network card costs something simmilar to $40 so its no more expensive than a PC lan card. Although then I have to get a network hub (to go with my I.link hub ;) ) and make all my friends buy automodelista and the network adapter. Then I can have lan fun with my PS2 :D
I doubt it will ever happen.
 
Spidey : this is the best answers that I can give to your question...okay,I would suggest ordering the whole DVD Subtitled version of First Stage,so you can get a feel for Initial D first,then buy 2nd Stage,the movie,then Battle Stage,or....here's my other suggestion...you can just buy Battle Stage,then watch all the races with no talking inbetween them =D,the Battle Stage is basically a remake of all the races,only it looks as if it's better graphics and it has different music in the races,rather than the awsome original songs used in 1st and 2nd stage,including the movie,so I don't know..I think the best suggestion would be to buy the 1st Stage so you can get the whole storyline behind the AE86 and the other people/cars ^_^ (somebody please feel free to correct me if I made a mistake)

Y2Tuscan : yes!Automodellista is gonna be soooo awsome!!I heard it's supposed to be comin' out sometime around November in the US!I'm gonna have like a whole racing season this year =D,so far,I'm gonna be gettin' these racing games,if they're out at or before Christmas-----

Gran Turismo Tokyo concept 2001 (I think that's what it's called)
Gran Turismo Project Geneva (I think that's what it's called)
Wangan Midnight
Vouge 3
Auto Modellista
Initial D Typing game

now to you guys it may not sound like much,but to me,that's a pretty good amount of just racing games to be getting for Christmas!

Tingboy : I wanna play Auto Modellista for that exact reason!It has Mount Akina on it and with the graphics,it looks like a REALLY awsome game!and to top it off (this is just my opinon) it's made by Capcom!!Capcom makes awsome games!and now they've evolved into makin' racing games with their awsome technology and intelligence of not only 2D games,but now cel-shaded!it seems as if the people are demanding for the loving mountain passes finally!I would be one of them people,and I assume some of you people would also love to have a game where you get to race against either the computer or your friend on a downhill race =D!I know I'd love to,hehe...well,after responding to everybody,I'm gonna go now..oh yeah,one quick thing to,I don't know if the version of Initial D from Tokyopop is supposed to be any good..well,when it comes out,but I heard from this rumor on this site that Takumi and the others may not have the same name along with everybodys cars as well!like the AE86 Trueno,they're supposedly gonna be callin' it an 86 Corolla I believe,so I just hope that Tokyopop doesn't go off and do somethin' like that!keep everything the same in Initial D!!the music,the names,the cars,everything!anybody who has any news of this as well,please post!I'm concerned about the future of Initial D in the US,what about you? :(
 
Really? Akina? Hm. Maybe I didn't unlock that one yet. It does have Akagi tho. Downhill races rule! Yep. Auto Modellista is fun as heck.

I've got the first 3 manga translated into english, so that's the first two races which lead up to the SiR2 match! I'm probably going with Third Stage and Battle, then when i get more money, I'll fill in with 2nd and 1st stages.

Yeah, Tokyopop are morons. Corolla? Well, no. You know they are probably changing the character names cause americans cannot pronounce japanese names even if they were read aloud in front of them, i dont have a problem with that.

And they are changing names of the cars because they think nobody knows about them. That's jsut moronic. You know that most of the people gonna buy the anime knows about japanese sports cars, and almost all of them have come to America in some form or another. Just petition them, if you look around at sites, just sign up. Tokyopop usually listens to fans. If they get rid of the music, im gonna b pissed tho!
 
yeah,no kiddin'...cause I couldn't imagine Avex not bein' able to play the music (well,sponsor,I think ^_^) along with Move and such and instead,they play some kinda stupid rock band that nobody has ever heard of,and the music sucks ass ya know?so hopefully they won't change the awsome Eurobeat music they have goin' for them,cause that's one of the factors that help that anime be awsome as it is =D!

Ja

Koji Sakujin
 
Spidey: u kno...the Toyota 86 Corolla is exactly the same as the Toyota 86 Trueno. It's just changed names when it came to the US. So Tokyopop isn't incorrect about at least one of their names...
 
Tingboy : I know about the 1986 Toyota Corolla being the exact same car as the 1986 Toyota Trueno,cause I'm gonna be buyin' me a 1986 Toyota Corolla,that's how I know about all of that..I did the research and such..and they're also both still called the AE86 =D,but I would rather hear the name "Trueno" rather than Corolla for some odd reason...and it would look kind of awkward seein' the emblem of either "Toyota" or "Corolla"on the front of Bunta's/Takumi's car,instead of the emblem "Trueno",so I don't know..to me,I'd prefer originality and no changing to the names of the people or the cars,since I preferably like the original contents of Initial D...so if you want Tokyopop to change Takumi's name to like Bob or somethin' like that,just cause the anime is comin' to the states,then you might wanna reconsider...that is all

Ja

Koji Sakujin
 
Thank you for correcting me. Yeah, bout the names, whatever, we can call them what we want, they can call em what they want, but if they take out all of the racing terminology, as well as the songs, imma be pissed.
 
Back
