Yeah, when I heard about the game, I was curious, when I saw the name it puzzled me as to the double As...

Twin Aces. Apparently it's now a tag team simultaneous battle for uphill and downhill.

Buntamobile/Hachi teams racing around Akina anyone?

Oh ya, one more thing my friend missed out - the actual tuning for the cars in this game is a lot different now.

It's more like WMMT now; SEGA has actually implemented SPEC (Specification) tuning for each car - I believe there's 5 different SPEC tunings available for each car, and for each SPEC tuning, there's 4 different variations to it. And as whether different parts can be changed, that also remains to be seen as well.

Pictures tomorrow (if I can help it, of course)

tried a few online battles juz now.. strategy seems to be smashing the opponents to the wall..a wall hit = goner as your speed drops by half and pick up is painfully slow.. kinda feel like battle gear's physics now..

What the hell? Tuning change?

A bit of elaboration on that? The only thing I'm aware of with Wangan's system is your overall handling versus your sheer straightline POWAH.

There's SPEC 1 to 5 and you can tune ur car only AFTER the game, juz like in ID4..
anw for the location testing, the car's alr ar SPEC 4, leaving us with SPEC 5 to tune.. for SPEC 5, there's abt 10 to 12 boxes, each depicting a part of the car to be tuned..

God I hope this comes out here...but it probably won't get an English version like 5. But if the tuning system is like Wangan it could possibly attract more people in the US...maybe, just MAYBE.

But I still want to hold out for a localized 5 release here, as futile as it seems.

Correction - we were only exposed to SPEC 5 tuning. SPEC 1-4 wasn't available. I'll post a pic tomorrow when I'm done with my FC.

But what IS Spec 5? What makes it different from the other specs?

anw that's wad i meant, car's alr at SPEC 4.. tuning begins at SPEC 5.. sorry for any misunderstanding caused..

SPEC 5 is just a term in the game to denote which bodykit you're actually using, I think. As to how it influences gameplay (as in, in comparison with the other SPECs), I'm not very sure - we only have that to play around with, so one can only wait till the full release of the game.

But hold on. That implies Externals now have an effect.

If that's true... then it's GAY! ( In the derogatory sense of the word!)
No more Knightsports wing for my little spinning triangle!

Did anyone catch the music they used in the location test?

lance, can I request the shot of your FC too ?? i wanna know about the new bodykit for FC ~

On the plus side, that means spoilers and body kits actual does something in ID now, rather than a points waster.

On the negative side though, imagine all of the "Which spoiler for the FD is better?" threads and arguments...

What I'd like to see though is drafting and other aero effects, like getting the person ahead aero-loose and the trailing car getting a kind of drafting boost.

chiyo,
can you ask sunnyvale or those arcade u go to to have test locations of ID6, we need to have one in the US?

most likely the card from D5 not able to transfer to D6 as both using diffent OS:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sega_..._Specifications

Lindbergh: Montvista Linux
RingEdge: Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009

if that is true, then this is really wrong for those of us that's been tuning so many cars in ID5, it was bad enough not being able to transfer from 4 to 5 but not being able to transfer again is too much

From the way it looks now (based on the S'porean thread), IDAS6 looks very complicated. :S

I'll be kinda sad if they replace IDAS5 with IDAS6 (on the same machine), like what they did with 4 to 5 in most arcades. Not because of the car transfer issue, but I've been very happy with IDAS5.

Ok, this is the tuning screen for D6. As you can see, We only have SPEC 5 to play around with. I guess this is the drift setting for the car though - While we were playing, next to our speedometer, there was this "Drift" icon there. I'm guessing the various SPECs is for us to "set up" (Project D also does that before their battle, I think) our car to suit the particular course, but nothing's concrete till we see the actual game, of course.

Sound interesting, tml will try that out.

the 3 options can only choose 1? or eventually u get to upgrade all three?

Ya, you'll get to upgrade all in the end.
