Tokyo Extreme Racer: DRIFT

[Frixco_240]

Was looking at the EB website today, and on 4/18, T.E.R: Drift will be released. Just a heads up for those who play video games. it will be $20, so i will pick it up. im pretty sure all the 240's from s13-15 would be in it. yup. ITS FOR DER PS2

[CaoBoY]

yeah, its called kaido battle, people have been playing this here for a while now, this is just the US version.

[ThatGuy]

So this is a magical disc that plays on every gaming system ever made?

[HyperTek]

so is it the same as kaido battle 1?? i had that since 2003... gets borring.. Genki games lack gameplay.

[Rkesh88]

So this is a magical disc that plays on every gaming system ever made?
haha agreed
message

[Arsenal of Glory]

Genki games lack gameplay.
and gravity/weight

[Irukandji]

Well you can't really complain for $20.

[S14DB]

The fun wears off fast.

[Helghast]

ACTION!

...or is that Kaido 3

[CaoBoY]

i know its in kaido 2 haha. ACTION! no good action.

[HyperTek]

they have a newer one, C1 Racing battle which is a mix between kaido/and xtreme racer.. cool ass soundtrack and graphics but gameplay still sucks and gets borring.

[JDMB0iKT]

hmm im probably most likely gonna get this game.

[OMGWTFBBQ]

I love those games

[exitspeed]

I love those games

Me too. You can't beat a decent $20 game.:bigok:

[Advan]

Then once the excitement wears down.....Gran Turismo 4.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

sweet, finally. my litle bro was gonna get this awhile ago, but the release date got delayed. now when i go home, i'll have something to do. also, GT4 is quite boring if you aren't amused by endless tsukuba time attacks. (still trying to beat the 47.5 set in my mines r34) :)

[exitspeed]

So did anyone get this yet?

[Advan]

Love the Tsukuba Circuit. As far as Time Attacks goes, your best bet is to join the PS:U-GT board, and that'll make GT fun. They do endless competitions with this game. Current car I'm loving so far, my 93 MR2 with just a Racing Muffler and Stage 1 Lightweight.

[OMGWTFBBQ]

I have the the original tokyo extreme racer for dreamcast
that game rules

I don't have my Dreamcast anymore. but I did have the OG TER. It was pretty BA. I've liked the series since the begining.

[*NismoS13*]

Anybody have any screen shots to post up? I've always loved these games...

[DRIFTER-M]

Hasn't it been pushed back to May now? I believe so...

GT4 is $20 as a greatest hits title.

[MrBrightSide]

most likely I will get this...been a TER fan for a while now. On another note, did anyone ever pass TER3? Its been awhile now and forgot most of the teams, but I think the last master was a red or blue skyline?? I never got to swapping out motors....anyone ever got to that point?

[w0nderbr3ad]

i have kaido battle 3: touge no densetsu but its the jap ver. its fun for about the first 2 nights and gets repetitive. the gymkhana is pretty damn fun. i like the flash sequences for the new courses and the new rivals. the emails get pretty damn annoying since i can't understand some of the characters. reading hirigana and katakana is one thing..but understanding wtf i'm readin is another. soundtrk sucks ass but battles can be kind of fun on short courses.

[*NismoS13*]

I eventually reached the point to where I could swap motors on my FD I was using - it was pretty sweet. From what I can remember though I never beat the game with it, too many wanderers with too many specifics you needed for them to even want to race you...

[Irukandji]

I have the the original tokyo extreme racer for dreamcast
that game rules

hahahaha yeah! That and Sega GT were the first games I got for my DC.

[Flipzide]

Hasn't it been pushed back to May now? I believe so...


yea its been pissing me off.. even tho its only kaido battle 2, ive been following txr:drift for a while

originally it was slated for febuary.. then march.. now may lol

[MrBrightSide]

Yeah thats it...wanderers were the last of them. I've defeated all the teams, and all was left were wanderers. Like you said, there are too many specifics with certain car for certain wanderers. I just gave up after that. Damn I wanted to swap in the rb26 into one of the 240z or the 2000gtx :cry:

[2iv0 sx]

I might have to pick this up.. haha and for $20

gettin really bored! since its spring break.. what the hell!

[Yuri]

haha, yeah, I had an N/A V8 powered R32 in zero-1. That game was pretty cool. I'm eagerly awaiting drift being released. unfortunatly my PS2 crapped out so I'll have to steal my g/f's. lol.

[exitspeed]

I beat all the wanderers in 3. The thing that was ghey is that you literalyl ahd to go buy a gameshark to be able to do it. One wanderer required you to have 999,999,999 and that number is actully impossible to get (unless ou think 20 years of dedication is possible). But I went and got one and did get to beat all of'em.

[OMGWTFBBQ]

I went to eb games today and they said it was due 2 weeks ago, and the comp says discontinued. He told me that usually means they cancelled the release
OHNO!

[theicecreamdan]

damnit... that makes me sad

[MrBrightSide]

I went to eb games today and they said it was due 2 weeks ago, and the comp says discontinued. He told me that usually means they cancelled the release
OHNO!

I went to gamestop today and they told me they will probably have it tomorrow....they told me 4-18-06 was the shipment date out for all retailers

[az_240]

I had tokyo extreme zero and beat the game but got tired of the game after that...
never did get all the wanderes though.... games too boring to get em all.

GT 4 is still pretty fun though. just cant spend too much time on it at once

[exitspeed]

I went to gamestop today and they told me they will probably have it tomorrow....they told me 4-18-06 was the shipment date out for all retailers


Hmmm...I wonder what the deal is. I've read a review about the game so it has to be coming out.

[lowviscosity]

Its in Wal-marts shop online at google you can get it

[meteorite_flo]

wow. i just checked the website of crave ent. and they said it's going for 14.99 so why are places like ebgames selling it for 20? with that 5 bucks i can go get high for 4/20 or something. haha

[sw20>>s14]

theyre supposed to be in stores today...well, gamestop and ebs that is...like someone stated above, 4.18.06 is only a release date...why cant they just make the release date and "buy" date the same and say 4.19? whatever...

With an incredibly low SRP of $14.99, longtime fans of the franchise and newcomers alike can enjoy exhilarating street racing without a huge price tag.
yeah, wassup with that? if anyone can find a vendor/distributor thats offering it for the stated price of $14.99, let us know...

edit:

Newport Beach, Calif.—April 25, 2006—Crave Entertainment, a leading publisher of console videogames, today announced they have shipped the next installment in the popular street racing series...

what the duece? looks like crave can go into time and release games and announcements on the 25 of april...theyre site doesnt seem the most credible so i wouldnt hold the $14.99 thing with too much hope...

[OMGWTFBBQ]

obviously they were able to build a time machine with all the money theyve made, travel about a week into the future, and release the game

awesome marketing strategy

[sw20>>s14]

walmarts selling it for $14.82...walmart never fails to rock my socks...

[Yuri]

EB's site now says 4/20.
Anyone remember the frustration with GT2's release dates?

[*NismoS13*]

The local gamestop around my way told me last week it stated it was coming out in May, but now it's listed as coming out today. However, they never recieved any copies...

I should have checked a Walmart I guess...

[sw20>>s14]

i just ordered mine from walmart for $14.82...plus shipping and tax, it came out to be $18.01...

overstock.com has them for $13.61+shipping and handling

atomicpark.com has it for $14.24+shipping and handling

dvd empire has it for $14.99+shipping and handling

just ordered mine and itll come when it wants to...im tired of calling around

[exitspeed]

Ok so does anyone have it?

[theicecreamdan]

who has the game in stock?

[HyperTek]

theres a reason why genki's games are soo cheap!! they get borring!!! music sucks ass and gameplay is nothing.. you where warned enjoy your 14.99 or whatever.. this game is 3 years old.

If only Taito was into making "tuning" games, they would be king.. thier arcade games it the shiiznit.

[S14DB]

I just got back from walmart and I didn't see it.

[Yuri]

I called up my local gamestop, and they said it should have arrived two days ago.
The guy had just gotten in a shipment but hadn't processed it yet, so he said it might have been delivered today.

[JDMB0iKT]

i went to walmart today and didn't see it there also

[sw20>>s14]

my mistake, i meant to say walmart.com...and apparently, online and stores have different prices so i just decided to order it online...after looking for about 15mins, it looks like the range of prices go from $14.XX to about $18.XX...other than that, i guess the regular $19.99...i just ordered it from walmart and i just got an email today saying it shipped out...

[180kbim325]

i bought mine yesterday at the walmart in butler pa 16001 i had to drive from southern pa to find it but its SICK

[S14DB]

I was at EB today and they said they wouldn't get it till the 24th.

[s14kouki416]

they have it at walmart for $15

i just got my copy today

[meteorite_flo]

whoa i just passed by walmart afterwork. damn it. i'll go tomorrow for sure.

[Azzazzyn]

i was out walmart earlier and remembered this thread. I picked the game up for 15 bucks, haven't played it yet though

[*NismoS13*]

The Walmart near me said they havn't gotten it yet...kinda sucks

[180kbim325]

I got the next 3 days off so hopefully ill get to put some serious time in on it. the only thing that still bothers me are the load time they are SO FRUSTERATING

[Yuri]

The Walmart near me said they havn't gotten it yet...kinda sucks
Same here. along with Gamestop.
Best Buy said they won't get it until the 25th. I wasted the whole day looking for it.:fawk2:

patience young grasshopper

[Paul2x]

So has anyone in SoCal found a place that stocks this game????

I've been calling all around and get nowhere.

[Angel]

I put it down after 20 minutes.... not too engaging.

[musikjunkie]

yea alot of places still dont have it.. its been out since the 18 and no places i went to have it

[*NismoS13*]

So some people are saying this game is awesome, while others are saying it blows.

Can somebody give us a more detailed overview of the game?
Positives? Negatives?

[Paul2x]

for 15-20 bucks i'm willing to find out for myself, if someone had the game!!

[sblack13]

wasted like 3 hours today, trying to find it. Mostly everyone said it's supposed to be out.

[sw20>>s14]

mine is on the way from walmart...it arrived in SF on the 22!!! its been three, now four days and still nothing...ups was speedy as usual, just stupid usps; they blow...

[wickdmarz]

We asked a guy at Best Buy and they were getting a shipment the 25, so hopefully it'll be on the shelves today.

[Yuri]

Picked it up at Best Buy last night. $9.99!!!!
I love the game, but you definitly need to get used to the physics. The car selection is excellant too, especially for the budget cars.

[Paul2x]

Which Best buy....??

[Yuri]

Cerritos off the 91 and Shoemaker

[Paul2x]

Just picked it up at the Best Buys at Metro Point off near South Coast Mall.

They have 2 copies left

it's pretty tuff...=)

[theicecreamdan]

this game has INTERNET FORUMS ahahhaah FTW!

[sw20>>s14]

its hella funny, they flame each other too...

[Brian]

I'm a nerd so I got it.

Started with a 86
Now I got me a S15
Just got to the second "level" last night.

[DocTaDrifT]

haha dang i should of picked it up lastnight at wal mart but i couldnt afford it after i bought all my APC parts:ghey:

[exitspeed]

its hella funny, they flame each other too...



Werd? How is that implemented intot he gameplay?

[2iv0 sx]

Brian where did you get yours from?

[Brian]

Best Buy in Cerritos.
They had 2 left when I bought it.
Lakewood Best Buy was supposed to get a shipment this weekend.

[theicecreamdan]

Werd? How is that implemented intot he gameplay?

you have to read up to see where the next challenges are.

[sblack13]

sorry to bump but just got it, but i think it's worth the $15. It's not the best game ever. But a drifting game for $15? I'm for it.

[monkey7]

We got it at walmart for 14.88 and its fun for a few hours.

[theicecreamdan]

9.99 at best buy, walmart loses

[keroto]

:fawkd: :down: :hsdance: :mrmeph: :rant2: :wackit:

[*NismoS13*]

Finally got my copy. I havn't played it too much yet, but I'm having one hell of a time trying to save up money with my slow ass AE86 lol

[zenki-217]

How the hell do u get past the first mountain? I bet all the ca races and all the night races xcept 3 but still they wnt show up nor the sponsors .. whats the trick?

[S14DB]

"Easy money"

"The cars you can buy with the money you are given at the start of the game are not too fast. Instead of racing people at night, which does not give you any money at first, concentrate on the first set of day races. Get first place in each race to unlock the second category of races. Repeat this until you can race in Class 3. You will then be able to make about 1,000,000cp per day. If you skip night racing for about the first ten days and only race during the day, you will be able to amass around 10,000,000cp and buy yourself a very good car."

[zenki-217]

Done that ... Still stuck on the mountain...

[driftheart]

/\ /\ ...u have to keep beating people and keep checking the message board and then a slasher (a.k.a. boss) will challenge u thru the message board ...accept it then go race him....i just did right now..now Haruna is available..

[zenki-217]

is there more then 1 challenge through the message board.?I need to knock out like 3 guys ...

[driftheart]

yea... i think there 3 challenges through the message board ...

[zenki-217]

ok cool when i get time im gonna try it out..

[zenki-217]

Hey I saw a challenge and said yes but then it auto went to some one elses reply and I went to the day cruise and no one was around..

[Mr.S14]

yea its kinda a gay, maybe cause i have a 86 with alittle too much torque oh well, it seems to be the same thing over and over again maybe it will kick later

[Yuri]

No one is ever around during the day cruise, just at night.
I have an Evo III and just got a kouki S14 last night.:bigok:
Also got two sponsors now, woot.

[driftheart]

Hey I saw a challenge and said yes but then it auto went to some one elses reply and I went to the day cruise and no one was around..

its not someone else's reply ...its your own...the name in the reply is your B.A.D name ...

[S14DB]

I find that the cars suck Especially at braking.

[OMGWTFBBQ]

I didnt think this game was very cool

[meteorite_flo]

i got a crazy ass s15 on it. it's my uphill car.

[Yuri]

I've just started playing Ace Combat Zero instead, lol.

[S14DB]

I found the real brake button. Somehow the manual is wrong. Car handles alot better.

I have an EVOIII with a stage 2 engine. Anti-lag FTW. The flames are realy realistic. Even to the thud in the car.

[JDMB0iKT]

i just got this game saturday and so far i got a trueno and sold it whne i got my s15 and now i just bought a s13. im currently still on the first mountain hakone i think?

[Irukandji]

i cant find this game anywhere....

[S14DB]

Best Buy value rack.

Hakone is for sucka's. That FTO was easy to beat in the EVO. I gots me a R33 now.

[*NismoS13*]

I havn't been able to play much because I'm a workaholic, but hopefully I'll start kicking ass in it soon...

[JDMB0iKT]

i have level 2 everything for my s15 and soon my s13 :D
