initial d for ps2... close enough

Well.. i know this isn't really pertinent to Initial D, but 2 days ago i got the game Auto Modelliesta for Playstation 2. This game is probably the closes thing to Initial D that the United States will see on a home console. It has highly modifilyable cars.. and downhill courses. Plus its a cell-shaded game. If you are interested in this game.. i suggest you rent it as it is kind of a "Like it" or "Hate it" game. Overall its a pretty cool game.

Initial D (http://www.videogames.com/ps2/driving/initialdspecialstage/index.html)
One can only hope this will be released in N.A
i think its just a direct port of the Arcade Stages

I bought the game when it first came out (which is i belive like 3 days ago) the game is off the hizzle foecheesie my neezie!
U can design almost every aspect of the car, INCLUDiNG ENGINE SWAPS! now i have never seen that in a racing game before. The online races are pretty fun too , until u meet someone that has an orochi thats juiced all the way, they can simply hit the wall and use the rebound for them to go faster. (sigh) If anyone out there have this game and actually KNOW how to race without hitting walls or other players then reply to me , i wanna set a group to race.

I love the arcade game, Ill have to look around and get the ps2 version

the PS2 version of the Arcade game by Sega Rosso is coming out with an extra mode called story mode where you play as takumi it has all the tracks. Should be tyte

Hey NSX-R-SSK20K.. you have any hard proof?... its not that i don't believe you.. but initial D for ps2 (going stateside) has been thrown around for i think 1 year now. Even the arcade machines are fairly new to many arcades.

whether or not its going to be released stateside is another matter that i did not address in my previous post :o

I don't have PS2 though:( does anyone know any games for X-BOX that are sorta like Initial D

no man and good luck findin one
i hate the X-Box my bro owns one the only game i like for it is Sega GT 2002 and that is still reallly really bad
but i can't see X-Box goin on much longer maybe a year or so and it'll be garbage

project gotham racing is tyte and you get more kudos if you drift so you might like that

Halo is freaking cool
but i don't know many other games on it that are racing orientated that are any good.

My PS2 is cool but i have to admit that the graphics on the XBOX kick so much ass.

i got bored of GT3 i sometimes play it but i prefer playing initial D in the arcades :bloated:

man you should try Moto GP even though it has nothin to do with cars its still hella tyte, its all about super bikes. Ive been thinkin about getting a PS2 but im gonna save up for a car even though im only 14 I dont really care:D

if you can drift in moto GP its all good!!!! :D :D :D

lol its motorcycles dont think u can really do that unless u crash:silly2:

no word on a US release

Kaido looks tyte but i'd rather get the Sega Rosso PS2 Initial D game

I thought Tokyo Extreme Racer was sweet tho. PS2 version was the best it had better handling

This Kaido game looks luscious. I'm in for a copy if it comes stateside....

... so long as it isn't a physics f**k up like Auto Modellista. God was I disappointed.

i just tried Auto Modellista today, im totally dissapointed. good thing i didnt buy it, the steering is way too sensative that centering or counter steering is near impossible. it also deccelerates way too much on the turns, it feels as if you come to a dead stop in the middle of the turn.

k well can your order a Japanese Kaido game then?

sure, you can import a copy, it was released back in February in Japan. but how many of us got a Japanese or chipped PS2 though.

haha true

how much are japanese ps2's?

i wouldn't know why you would want to get a jspec (hee hee) ps2 but i think they're around 143 bucks? 16750 yen i believe. Yea... but WHY would you want one.. it wont work in the US... unless you want to convert it to PAL which would just cost you more money...:confused:

I have played MotoGP2 and MotoGP3 for the PS2 .. you can drift any corner you want to, throttle oversteer, and try and hang on .. it makes for interesting races when you leave black marks all around the track, and NOT come off the bike. You have to turn off the help features, tho.

To All You Wnat To Play Initial D On Ps2 I Got It It Is Just Like The Arcade Mode But To Play It On Ps2 You'll Need A Chip To Play It Any Of You Who Want It I Willing To Give You A Copy.

Kaido Battle has been out for awhile now.AN guess what, it ain't comming to the US.It was supposed to be released back in when Tokyo Extreme Racer 3 came out but was not.The game was set to hit the market at a price of 49.99 plus tax.But what happened, the makers of Tokyo Extreme Racer oes and releases Tokyo Extreme RAcer 3 for 19.99 brand new.The heads behind Kaido battle pulled out before shipment knowing they would have gotten beat badly by this release.So the decision was to pull the game from release.This was said awhile ago an i've heard no new news about the game.Just that it was pulled.

Not only do i have the ID on ps2 i also purchased Kaido battle 2. Its an amazing game, it also feels great to have the 2nd kaido when the first was never released in North America.
