What's wrong with n00bs getting what they deserve? I hate it when they can over-rev and don't pay for it with a blown engine....

Yes! I thought me and my frends would be the only ones to that thought the whole clutch and real shift knob would be awsome. But then of course theyd have to give the manuals more power cause the automatic would kill thge manual unless u were a pro and real life and im sure 90% of the ppl that play initial D never drove a stick or drove at all. Now you gotta look at all sides of why they didnt put the whole realistic clutch thing in, If they did and you stalled your car, it would be virtually impossible to ever catch back up. I think the developers might of thought of it but you gotta think of the majority. I mean not too many ppl would use it and the ppl that did would have to be like mega pros because if you put the clutch in too much when you shifted youd loose a good second or two just by shifting.So I agree its be awseom but i just think theres reasons why they havent done it yet.

A 5/6-speed shifter and clutch would just be a lot more programming to work on. Why mess with the formula, right? They've got a pretty good thing going already, so I guess they don't want to alienate a good portion of their fanbase by changing a major part of the game. Too bad, though. I would have loved to see a stick shift make it in.

And for the record, I DO drive, and I HAVE driven stick. I'm stuck with an automatic now, though, but I'll have a MK3 Jetta soon with a 5 speed so I can go back to the goodness.

Uhhmmm I wasnt aiming at you. I was saying that towards the majority of ppl that play Initial D..............

the blown engine thing would show the bunch of kids how not to drive. i asked one of the undefeted kids what they do differty from me entering a corner." i go from top speed of 5th gear to second without hitting the brakes and shoot around the corner"

Well, there have been games with the 5 speed stick, thats not the problem, its the clutch, i think.

blown engine? what is this, need for speed underground?

Well, Takumi blew his engine against Kyouichi in the series, so it's not totally out of the question. I think it'd be funny to see the local jackass in the arcade blow the engine in his "unbeatable car". I'd pay money to see something like that happen to the fool.

You just can't act cool after something like that happens.

How about real car physics? Like FWD understeer. And RWD oversteer. Instead of the 86 with no engine upgrade keeping up with other cars off the line. And have parts make a difference. Cars with carbon fiber parts accel better. But make them cost a shit load of points to obtain. Car damage would be good too. Along with tire damage. Making the point system more complex for the designers. A 5/6 gear shift would be good. No clutch. Maximum Tune has it. And c'mon they really need to add Shin-Myogi and Shin Usui instead of these fake Myogi and Usui. The story mode should be more accurate allowing you to race each character on the course they should race on.

^^that'd be cool.

I still say an NSX. My Tied #1 car, and it coudl even be used! Hell, a BNR34 is same as an NSX in price, why not?

[drftk1d]

Well, if the FD and R34 can be in the game, then why not an NSX?

Why put in an unrealistic car like that in the game next to the more believable machines? What kind of street racer could afford one of those, anyways?! I sure as hell can't...

[AkinaSpecialist]

An NSX would be to good. The S2000 should be doing better than it is. Honda is weird that way..Produce two good cars. And a buncha crappy ones. But seriously though the NSX would automatically have to be the best car in the game. If it was in the game would you like to see it be made as good as an Integ I think not.

[Aerowitz]

^^ Amen to that. ^^

As for secret content. How about if you reach 100% somehow on the game and you unlock a secret FMV where Keiichi Tsuchiya beats the pants of Bunta.
