QUOTE (DigiBunny @ 6 hours, 55 minutes ago)
Genuine curiosity, for those of you who still play.

When I first joined the forums I was a student who used his allowance to play ID.

Now I'm a guy with a job.

So, in all honesty, how can you guys justify the increased cost and the account reset that ID makes you put up with? I mean maybe it's because I have a really low skill ceiling, but I'm fed up with this kind of thing from Initial D. I'd rather save up for Gunpla or, I dunno. An actual car.

@AMDK:

That sounds really defeatist. Are you implying that there's no point in voicing your displeasure, and that we're just supposed to suck it up or get out?

I mean we ARE customers here. Potential customers, anyway.

It depends on the person anyways, but mainly it's because it's really fun and unique. There very little racing games out there that I find anywhere near as entertaining as IDAS, with 4 being a huge exception. Of course, the new game has to be good and sometimes it's a gamble but as someone who's started playing from D5 until D7, every new game thus far has been really entertaining and better than the last; at least for me personally, some will disagree of course. I don't know whether D8 will top D7 because I have yet to play it but I'll play until I get a Full Tuned car and play with that physics. My spirit is always breakable though, especially if they release anything as horrible as D4 (I don't think D8 is like that but I always have that fear prior to trying out the new IDAS game)

I played a little but of Wangan when I was studying because there was no IDAS machines around, but I never found it anywhere near as entertaining.

Besides, all you really need is one Full Tuned car to play the main part of the game and if you pick a high tier car, you're pretty much set. Most of the investment is in training. This is not to disagree with your points because it is expensive and some of the resets this time goes more than necessarily IMO, but the above is the general reason I plan to continue.

And at least in a country with online available, I also have to say the online is a factor too since it feels awesome to race againts other players that are around your skill level, that factors into the fun factor for me.

Anyway back to the topic. The ranking system really determines where you stand.
No more such thing of getting the same rank but the skill level is different.
I totally like this way $EGA implement.

Indeed, the rankng system is a true indication of your skill level, except some cars like the 86 might be better than other cars. So your initial car choice can still make a difference on the rankings.

So that initial car choice still plays the same cards as that of the home course advantage rule back in the old IDAS? Looks like some things won't ever change with Sega. If that's the case, then we know what car would be bandwagon'd at the get-go.

I'm also curious as to what the rankings are like. Can anyone fill me in? I'm too lazy to go through the rankings online and making a general list of top 3 cars for each track. awesome.gif

ID8 Ranking

It's unpolished right now since the game is recent and Project Chiba started collecting data even more recently. Also everything is in JP

Give the game a lot more time when more attempts at TA are made.

Thanks man. I went through the TA rankings and made a list of the top 3 cars on each course. It's pretty interesting coming from a V3 background and looking at everything that's changed. I'm looking forward to playing! Just got a picture of our upgraded cabinets a little bit ago:

Uhhhh, maybe he meant if it was a version 1.1 or a 1.2 it is pretty obvious because this thread is all about IDAS8 and IDAS8 only.

Most likely it's the base version, however I don't know if they got the updated version or not.

I would assume that unless they miraculously got internet.

Image is pretty blur but it appears that the top right "internet" logo on the screen is gray. Also there are red words on top left so it is pretty much confirmed there is no internet.

We've been told we're getting full networking for the machines, but the versions we'll be playing not be English. As far as those machines, not sure what version yet but when I found out more I'll let you know.

I'm kinda bummed out that we won't be able to read anything, but at the same time we'll be basically on the same rankings server as Japan.

"US and others" did pop up on the site some time back before disappearing.

I assume if you're connecting to network then you're using EXP. If you are getting network, then that's pretty awesome!

I always wondered how the timezone difference's going to work though in this type of scenario. Most if not all of the arcades on the network operate in Asia.

They might just get a seperate EU or North America based server, because ping will be an issue too. Well, SEGA sure don't want us to play online battle with laggy cars warping around the entire track right?

@NBK if your location is North America, it is actually pretty surprising to see IDAS getting exported again. but language is gonna be an issue isnt it?

Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Malaysia wont wave a problem because the Chinese people can understand Kanji anyway. But I'be heard the menu is half english half japanese.

@AMDK_r_SOHAI sorry didn't see the IDAS7AAX logo on the screen.

We won't be able to read/understand anything from the game due to language barrier. But we'll figure it out somehow. A little over 2 weeks and I can provide more details on what version, connection status, etc.

Dont worry, some of us dont understand japanese language.
Play more you will know what is what.

If got network most probably can be connect to asia server.
Time lapse doesnt matter, however your side may have less opponent to encounter.

@dummyinthecity
No worries, the pic also abit blur.

I know the games relatively new, but is there anywhere with a good number of video resources yet? I'm trying to find some videos with the courses I don't know to get an idea of the speeds and how they drive in the current version, but the majority of what I've found so far is only older versions.

There's a lot on YouTube, as usual. Last time so check was a few weeks ago and they're starting to become plentiful.

Somehow I doubt this, since there's very little arcades that support this as it is and the most that we are aware off use the JPN version (which you aren't even supposed to use outside Japan). Even in the scope of Europe and North America, I don't see there will be enough machines we to create a server. It's possible but I doubt it.

On the flipside, the current system will have the issue of timezone differences. Afterall, arcades close at night.

That's the thing, I don't know if I'm just searching wrong, but all I'm getting is results for 5, 6, and 7. Are there any specifics channels I should check out?

Try Angelmix318.

I don't actually watch that much videos, so other users may know more channels and maybe even better ones. Most videos if D8 I watched so far comes from different channels but each didn't have that much when I watched then last month.

Found this video and I'm curious: what exactly is going on with his brake and gas? You'll have to bear with me, I've never had the chance to play anything past AS3 at all, so this is new to me. It appears to be some sort of mutated form of eraser. What is he doing exactly and what is the technique called? It appears he's holding (or pumping) the brake while pumping the gas. Any insights?
