Kid delivers tofu and learns to drive a mountain real good. Some other racer guys can't beat him. Imagine DBZ, but with cars.

It translates into an okay game, though.

 

[MarkMan]

Based on that description:

Then again, I'm not a big fan of manga/anime. Also, any new game is better than no games.

Well, my description is kinda simplified. But after working here and having 80 zillion people watch this show and then think they can drift an SUV in a mall parking lot, I'm a bit "over" Initial D now.

 

[jarrod]

Sort of surprised this got greenlit after all SEGA's other PS3 arcade games (Sega Golf Club, VF5, VT3, Sega Rally) tanked. The PSP game did okay though iirc, wonder if TOSE is doing the port again too?

 

[Threi]

DRIVE QUICKY FAST DRIFT NICE SLIDE PSHHHHHHHHH 86 COROLLA WHOOOOOOO TAKE THAT TURN GOOD MOUNTAIN ALMOST DONE GRRRRRRRR


Disclaimer: 86 Corollas are pure win though.

Yes, that's Selvaria, who is the Valkyria of the Battlefield, unfortunately on the opposing side of the player.

 

[LiK]

hi-res pics?

and preorder link!

 

[Kafel]

[Lostconfused]

Well i guessed as much, i just wanted to make sure.

SEGA does the arcade games internally, TOSE handled the PS2/PSP ports. Guess we'll have to wait and see with the PS3 version.

 

[twinturbo2]

If this is an Initial D 4 port, I'll bite. I can't find it anywhere in any arcade over here anyways...

Simply put, it's everything that is wrong with young people.

I wouldn't say DBZ-like, it's always been a bit more serious in tone, despite the traditional japanese/anime antics by some of the characters. And it's grown more serious with each season (as characters mature...). It's obviously exagerated in parts and the capabilities of the drivers but it's great fun for car/sports racing/tuning/drifting/street racing fans. And it's got (the japanese version at least) great/horrible eurobeat music depending on whether you love/hate that stuff.

Oooh that moment in season 4 when Keisuke's Mazda goes side by side with the GT-R fast approaching the cone where they'll have to turn back... What happened next made me laugh as hard as the force that my nuts hit the ground with.

 

[KurowaSan]

i've just played the psp one and i kinda enjoyed it. It sure was challenging
