Drifting Video Games

[<SSR>David]

I actually quit like a year ago =) I quit the game as S2 was coming out. How is it?

[gigglesnirt]

its good, if you come back it'll be nothing like you remmber, physics have changed, we've got damage now, oh and the best part is no more downloading peoples skins, you just load yours onto a database and it automatically downloads in game when people see you, pretty sweet. they also have many plans for s3 from what i hear, one of the main ones being it'll be modable meaning you'll be able to put your own modeled cars in the game, your tracks, certain game mods etc etc. basically whatever you can program/model.

sounds sweet. I would go back to playing it, but I have work, and its too hectic right now. LFS takes time to play haha. =D

What the hell is that about?

GT3 was the drifting game, IMHO.

This hapens to me in real life. I need different tires, drift makes them sticky, then they grab and shoot me side-ways.

D1 has a game in Japan, (saw it in a mag a while ago) but Initial-D has a good PS2 game called Initial-D special stage. (haven't played, but i have seen clips)

GT4 is an absolute bitch to drift in. For some reason the controls feel sloppy for drift use unless you set the suspension to extreme levels which almost FORCE the car to work with you and even then, you have extreme snap back and no smoothness.

If anything, get forza and take some stock rwd cars on the downhill passes. I play the game quite a bit every so often and am always trying to get the fastest time drifting the downhills the japanese way without spinning out. Most fun is watching the racing line turn completely red while you're drifting on it.
Guys around the local 240sx shop like to play nfsu2 drift courses on breaks with all their own in-game crazy drift cars and its probably the most entertaining out there for just passing time.

Genki is putting out a touge game in japan called Kaido Battle but you'd need to mod your ps2 to accept japanese games and then find the japanese copy to import.

LOL you could surf the web with the PS2

and you could play people over a network with the snes and genesis (at least).

game systems are for just that, playing games. it is a machine dedicated to gaming, you dont buy an xbox to chat on aim do you?

live for speed has crazy physics, also i feel that forza is a better game overall compared to gt4.

[gigglesnirt]

yea i thought forza was better over gt4 it just feels better, plus you've got the online play which isn't always a good thing when you have little kids online.

[Chiquae07]

man this is old. ne of you guys got xbox live for froza, id like to give it a go even tho i havent played it in a while

[gigglesnirt]

yea i do, i'll play sometime if your ever on just give me an invite my name is dumb chicken (wasn't my idea)

Genki and Crave are releasing another Tokyo Xtreme Racer game but this one is actually Kaido Battle 2 in disguise its slated for Jan. 17th. Heres the link for the EBgames page for it.

it doesn't look like tokyo extreme racer at all, more like kaido racer which has had a series for a long time, the main difference is tokyo extreme racer was on the highways, kaido was in the mountain roads.

Suspension tweaks help you understand what happens when you do certain things. =) helps you understand gear ratios and such, its just a very fun and informative game. GT4 and Forza are just games to have fun, and thats it, but Live for speed is actually very informative. O but becareful there are different types of patches for instance live for speed patch G you can drift very well with a keyboard, but for patches H and such you would need to go and buy a wheel and some pedals too if you want, to be able to control you car while drifting or racing =). In the demo you can only pick three cars, and the rest you can get when you buy the game. Its worth the money.

i am playing lfs for like 3 years... i think i know u , whats your old s1 name ??? i was in the team Rx-7 that is now GsX
