Initial D Games

[drifter_for_life06]

So I was watching the first stage today on my day i took off from school and got to wondering: Are there any Initial D games online to play? I did a google search and looked at 100+ pages and found nothing.

Does anyone know if there is a game online to play, I've searched and it seems like the only ID games are the PC game(which i had a bad experience with) and the PS2 game.

if initial d was popular enough like dragon ball z. They would make a descent game, instead of floating cars on a short track.

I forgot what game i was playing, oh thats right it, was called "Gran Turismo 3" >:P

[Chingon]

it's in arcade, I forget what it's called, something in the lines of "virtual" stage. Anyways, apparently you can save your data in these disposable memory cards....

PS: gran turismo is not that great...

and initial d is? no not really

[jdmfreak]

Initial D arcade=fun/expensive and very tiring if you get too many intense races in a row.

GT3=funner/$50/tiring when trying to do an endurance race in a stock miata.

Ummmmmm.....I believe Im gonna take GT3.

But damn I love that arcade game. 2 more races and I gotta renew my card. I believe we got Version 3.

[eliterit]

gt3 is a pretty good simulator

anyone ever played live for speed? thats a good sim that u can drift pretty well with

[Chingon]

and initial d is? no not really

nope, none of them are...

[rico05]

IMHO GT3 is the best game (non-FPS) that I ahve ever played. I can seriously play for 8-10 hours and not get bored.

[w1ngzer0]

nope, none of them are...

glade you agree

[Doomed2Walk]

There is an Initial D arcade game where you can save your progress, I believe there are 3 versions so far, Stage 1-3. Here's a picture of my card.

[w1ngzer0]

who is that guy in the picture? he looks stoned LMAO....

[jdmfreak]

^LOL! Agreed.

BTW we just got the stage 3 about 3 moths ago and let me tell you. Im surprised the steering wheel hasnt broken yet. We give that thing hell.

[Doomed2Walk]

Poo, we only have stage ii :[ let me tell you though, it's a work out, my friends and i get sweaty backs when we start to play

[jdmfreak]

Yea it is.

Most definately for me since I drive an R32. All the good cars have a higher top speed than I do. So I have to always block them from passing. It always frustrates them, but hey. Do what ya gotta do. Ive actually gotten used to this and adopted it as a technique. Im gonna get an FD for the less curvy tracks and top end speed. What car(s) do you use?

BTW, No challenger has beaten me on Shomaru pass. And the only cpu challenger that beat me was the the guy in the 85 Levin and that was only once. That track is too narrow. Its where my blocking skills are at their best. If you dont pass me at the right time, YOU LOSE. And this has happened everytime. Ive been passed on this course, but I always get em back. Do you have this course on Ver. 2? Ver. 3 is the first one we got.

One more question. Does the Ver. 2 allow you to turn your lights off if you're doing a night race?

[drifter_for_life06]

thanks guy, still no diea if there is an ID game. GT3 is a good drifitng game if you knwo how to set suspension with teh right car. Noone can beat me in my Silvia K's 2000cc

[w1ngzer0]

how about a 800hp R34? or what about a 500hp civic?

[dfw240_EE]

If anyone here has an X-Box like I do, Sega GT is an ok game. It definitely isn't great, but ok. The physics simulation is decent but the computer car AI is pretty rock bottom. (not as bad as the original Gran Turismo though, still remember the 3000GT that got stuck on a wall for a whole race).

The best racing game I have played in a LONG time would be "TOCA Race Driver 2". The physics simulation is briliant, and the computer AI is really solid. Plus there is a large variety of vehicles. There is even one race where you race a 3 axle/10 wheel big rig!(surprise surprise, you can't turn for a darn in it) My favorite was the open wheel sprint car. It is a tougher game to play, because there is no TCS at all in the game, if you mash down the gas at the wrong time you will spin out. Once you get used to it, it isn't so bad.

Stage II does not allow you to turn off your headlights, I know that's a technique Takumi used in the Stage 4 Episode 6 (just watched it this week) FD's are actually pretty solid on the turns my friend has one. My friends combined have a the gen 6 and 7 STi, R32, 2 AE86 Truenos, S2000, and a FD RX-7. I have a S15 Silvia.

i found one initial d game on the internet and it was bascially a upgraded version of this old atari game, the one with the birds eye view and you can see the entire track. Anyways it sucked, i also saw a initial d computer game at walmart for 10bucks so i bought it and it sucks, you want to buy it for 5bucks its yours.

[crzycav86]

There was this flash initial d game that i played awhile ago.

Someone on NICO shared a link with us, so if you do a search you could probably find it.

The initial d arcade rocks... Last year there was an initial d arcade at the afterprom party, so me and my friend played each other for 6 hours straight. FOR FREE! mwahahaha..

[w1ngzer0]

for free? playing any arcade game for free is always fun

[coldfire07]

Stage II does not allow you to turn off your headlights

Wrong. You can turn off the headlights in all three versions by pushing and holding start.

In Version 1, the FD is bar non the best car for every track. Rev the engine all the way and shift straight to third for a speed boost. It's a glitch in the game.

The best car in Version 2 goes to the DC2 (Integra). Yeah, it's a load of **** and everyone whores the car, but what can you expect; the game is sponsored by Honda.

Version 3 is more balanced, and different cars are good on different tracks. I haven't really played version three much besides knowing that my FD does decently on most tracks.

Special Stage is the PS2 game. Have fun playing it if you don't know the basics of reading Japanese. In my opinion, it is the best of all the games. I have it on my PS2 through HDLoader. You get more tracks than the other games (like REAL USUI!!), and you get story mode which actually puts you in Takumi's position and you go through the races exactly as in the anime all the way up to Bunta.

It's too bad the 240sx sucks in Initial D. If you must drive one, get the SilEighty as it's the only remotely good car of the bunch.

I'm currently playing Kaido Battle 2: Chain Reaction. It features the same tracks from ID (Akina/Akagi/Iro/etc), a ****load of cars, and fun physics. They're more realistic than ID but still far from lifelike. Also, the game looks amazing - the best graphics I've seen in a racer besides GT4 screenshots. Oh, this is Japan only as well. However, the menus are all in English.

[Doomed2Walk]

If I could play Japanese games on my PS2, I'd just buy Naruto.

[jdmfreak]

LOL! Naruto > USA

Anyway, where'd ya get episode 5 and 6? I wasnt aware that they were up yet? Is it on Bittorent?

[Type X(J)]

drifter_for_life06: can i challenge you - fastest run on any track with a Silvia K's 2000cc.

[jdmfreak]

Challenge? I might take you up on that offer. Give me till end of this week. Feel free to post up your time though.

[KDashy]

The episodes 5 and 6 can be found here,

http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/402.html

It took them a while to sub those epsodes (nearly a month).

[HashiriyaS14]

I like the Tokyo Extreme Racer series, but that has nothing to do with the driving physics. I just like being able to drive a WEST Corvette and being able to put eyelids on my VIP Chaser, lol.

Anyone ever played the Kansai Battle series? They're pretty good. Honestly, there are a fair amount of drift games out on the Japanese market for various systems (some newer, some older), I need to make up a big list of Japan-only driving games and post it up here.

[yeap]

Heres a PC game of Intial D. I have it, but its not that good. It's Initial D Mountain Vengence.
