Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025 - Launches September 25

[NotThePrez]

Unrelated: Addtional Rules -> Apparently my GT-R can still do 339 km/h in limp mode, ROFLMAO.

The 2017 GT-R is beyond OP. I already knew that the GT-Rs (save for the T-Spec), LFA and NC1 NSXs were the main late-game cars, but I wasn't prepared at all to run a car that could effortlessly get to 260 MPH, on its own power, without NOS.

Unfortunately, that car made the final stage of the main story a total cake-walk, to the point where I felt the need to un-equip Center of Attention. The GT-R accelerates so fast that it's honestly unnecessary, even against bosses.

I'm honestly not bothered by it. At least it ain't TXR3 and literally the same song over and over again for both races and cruising (per locale).

It was a bit of a bother when I first started the game, especially since I just finished a playthrough of TXR Zero. In that game, there were multiple pieces of music for all situations, save for Speed King, White Charisma, and ???, which helped keep things going. I know it's a minor thing, but it helps keeps things fresh, espescially since the soundtrack is already full of honestly solid remixes of classic TXR songs.

Speaking of music, the remix of Chrome Fist in this game is phenomenal, and much like TXR3, is a perfect match to the high-speed races from Stage 3 onwards, espescially on the Wangan.

Spoiler: Late-Game Spoilers

However, my personal favorites are the Boss Intro and Battle themes for Swift Emperor. While I appreciate the heavy and hectic electro style of Snake Eyes' theme, the pure Heavy Metal sound from Swift Emperor is just pure, unfiltered power, and I love it. Eternal Polaris' final theme is a very close second, with it sounding like a mix of styles from both Snake Eyes and Swift Emperor, but the pianos really help keep it unique. It almost sounds like something out of an Armored Core game.

I doubt it'll happen, but I'd be over the moon if this games soundtrack got a physical release.

I won’t ever complain about having to keep track of or re-read Wanderer requirements. Until ITC, the game simply didn’t give you any info at all. You either had to figure it out through blind luck, or give up and use an online guide.

 

[sesselpupser]

Loyal Knight must be a joke character, right? First of all, he's all "soz but I don't race people who tune their cars" and he's driving a 300bhp KPGC10, that's almost double the stock power, then when he accepts the race he's all humble about it but as soon as we started the race he rammed me, twice, so I guided him into the back of another car to wipe him out. Then the post-race chat was "ah yes, that was a great race, just as it should be", what a lunatic.

Finally settled on a livery for my EK9 and did a 16 race stint with minimal upgrades.

I can see why people say it's an early game OP choice, as I beat the level 12 wanderer at the first attempt, having had it absolutely kill my Swift previously. The single loss was when I had orange rear tyres, but I stopped, got behind him and beat him the next time on a straighter section of road. 😁

I hope this game will be very successful so Genki will make Kaido Racer 3

Kaido Racer 3 already exists, and went by the name Kaido Battle: Touge no Densetsu, AKA Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift 2 in the US and some other places.

I agree with the sentiment though, I wanna see another Kaido Battle entry!

EDIT: I stand corrected, it appears TXRD2 was released in PAL as Kaido Racer 2. My bad!!!!

 

[graveltrap]

Wanderers and Boss battles completed, new game plus started, had to lump 3000bp into engine swaps to create a 1185ps Bomex Supra

Gossip regarding Eternal Polaris:
Them: <Player> made some nasty moves against Eternal Polaris!
Me: <pulls innocent face>
Turns out to be rumor spread by Bad Bomber
Me: Yeah, that's it, it was someone else!

His lack of intelligence gathering skills is simply shocking.
If they want to tarnish my reputation, all they need to do is get me to testify about what I did to Perfect Revolution.

 

[EngieDiesel]

It's funny how I thought I was going to end up being the bully, but there have been many, many times where the car I'm racing starts swerving around erratically and slams their rear quarter panel into my front fender when I go to pass, trying to either push me into the wall or force me to brake to they can run off. It doesn't occur to them that I'm currently driving the automotive equivalent of a sumo wrestler, so I can easily just push in the opposite direction and leave them turned sideways and fumbling for reverse gear as I casually roll off. (Thank goodness Genki changed the way collision SP loss is calculated.)

To say nothing of the team leaders who have been immediately kicking on their nitrous to blast into my rear bumper, and can't figure out why they pinged off out of control and I just kept going instead of the other way around...

 

[NLxAROSA]

NG+: Beating Dark Tengu (who apparently has unlimited nitrous) with an S2000, Additional Rules enabled, up to the point my S2000 goes into limp mode, and I end up winning by literally beating/blocking him into the railings and other cars. Definitely one of the more epic battles I've had.

 

[sesselpupser]

Well, I finished it, started NG+, got straight into a Beat and installed a rotary in it, beat the first chapter again and I think I'm done. Would probably keep playing if everyone was level 30, but ultimately I just wanted to see what engine swaps were like and I wasn't very impressed, I mean I put the Nissan V6 turbo in a Beat, max tuned it and can't get more than 350km/h out of the transmission, the same engine in the KPGC10 can get 460km/h, this seems dumb because surely in some cars (like the Beat) it invalidates the point of using some engines. Also neither of these cars are especially difficult to control with over 1,000ps and I feel like they really should be...

I'll be back if they add or change just about anything but I think for now I've had my fill, great game though.

 

[benzoboy]

Bought an S2000 just to modify, something I seem to do in most games

Turns out it's actually much better than the S14, at least at this stage in the game

 

[NLxAROSA]

Well, I finished it, started NG+, got straight into a Beat and installed a rotary in it, beat the first chapter again and I think I'm done.

The only way I found NG+ to be interesting is if I limit myself in terms of cars/upgrades, or it's really, really, really boring, esp. in the beginning.

 

[sesselpupser]

@NLxAROSA I tried! Initially I only unlocked the top row of upgrades and used a relatively modest Levin with the lower spec I6 swap but obviously that was still far too fast. I tried the Beat, too slow. I put the rotary in the Beat but then my ears couldn't handle hearing it bouncing off the limiter, so I wanted to unlock enough transmission upgrades so I could make it not do that, and then I thought ah to hell with it, unlocked everything, swapped the V6 turbo in and then got bored.

 

[benzoboy]

Few shots of the S2000 and just got the Bug Eye STI for Stage 3

 

[graveltrap]

New game plus isn't really doing it for me either I want to drive faster cars against better opponents, but I also hit the game pretty hard over th last week.

Swapped the three rotor into the FD RX7, not worth the money, as is gave 10-15 extra PS!

 

[BKGlover]

Note: I have not had a chance to play the game since release.

I don't know about y'all, but NG+ is when I get into the mindest of "I did this the hard way, now I get to have the unfair advantage and roflstomp the world!". I imagine it's also good for sandbox ideas and YT videos, but without having looked at the achievements, and knowing what 2 did, some things are only unlocked by doing multiple runs...yet that seems redundant considering you have to unlock cars so I don't know yet. Hopefully this weekend...

 

[WanganDream]

It doesn't have a body kit option, it's much slower than the R35, and it doesn't handle as well. There are plenty of things I can say to disparage this car.
But it's still a cool car and I'm very happy to be driving it.

Thank you, Genki and Honda, for giving us this car!

 

[GBalao888]

The fastest car I've tried thus far is a Nissan S15 Silvia swapped with the VR38DETT, fully tuned, and when you adjust the transmission, 500km/h is possible without nitrous.

If you use Notepad++ on your save file to get the engine, exhaust and intake to levels 9, 6 and 6 respectively with that engine swap, it will go to previously forbidden speeds no car would dare to reach.

The facelift nose is the one it always should have had, and it's a shame they didn't do something more characterful with the rear end.

 

[NLxAROSA]

I don't think I will ever get 100% achievements though. The 'complete the game without ever losing' is going to do me in for sure. Always some AI car messing up, or me making just that little tiny mistake.

Also, I have 154 hours in now, probably could do with a break.

 

[NekoPufferPPP]

That's, uhm, uhhh...

 

[jangelelcangry]

Damn! The Miata is as fast as a Koenisegg CCX.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Got my hands on some ALL-CAPS B.A.D. Names. Settled on this one.

I have all achievements now except 'Undefeated Legend'. Don't think I can be arsed to do that one (complete game with zero losses).

 

[NekoPufferPPP]

I'm curious what's the fastest car in the game, so far for me it's one of the starter cars... The Roadster '15 with the Nissan V6 swap.

Oh I should point out I hadn't even applied the legendary tuner's upgrade here.

Goes up to 585 with the tuner's engine upgrade.

 

[BKGlover]

I got a brief taste of 1.01. I started new and I don't know if the AI has been ramped up outright or I'm actually garbage, but all the opening rivals seemed to be on it better, then at least RG1 was a lot more of a fight than EA version was.

While it feels different, it still feels like TXR, just suddenly more like 1 a bit to my faded memories

Not sure which EA version you played the latest, but there were some major changes in rival behaviour in the last one or two EA updates. Most notably adding tech skills for rivals and adding different 'personality' types. Some of the tech skill combos really hurt, both when you equip them or the AI.

I'm curious what's the fastest car in the game

I've seen people report 600+ on the Steam forums, not sure if verified to be true tho.

 

[NekoPufferPPP]

Instakill combo nerfed!

Also

This bug was hilarious, I thought I was going crazy until I realized what was going on.

 

[NLxAROSA]

Instakill combo nerfed!

Still at work, so can't try yet, but I assume it's now 'less OP', but still OP.
