ざけんなよ! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 708 Member No.: 13,218 Joined: Oct 2nd 2005 Location: 愛知県 | even if this is true, I find it quite pointless as to releasing a game that is already considered "dead" online. Last time I logged onto the Japanese server, there was literally no one there. I gave up after 15 minutes of match searching... I also think that Sega tends to stick to this "one game per console" rule...think about it Special Stage - PS2 Street Stage - PSP Extreme Stage - PS3 doubt they will release another game for the PS3, considering they were already tight on budget when releasing extreme stage. With the recent Japanese economy and earthquake, I don't think we would see another Initial D home console game until...I dunno, ps4? NGP? |

Game is not dead online. You just have to sign in during the right times. Night Time EST usually works or 9 - 12[am][est]... I was actually shocked with how many people were on during those times. | ||

Let's face it. Why would Sega release IDES in the US? They have no reason to. It' s an old game at this point, and there aren't many Initial D fans in the US. At least, probably not enough to warrant publishing costs and translation teams for the game to be transferred over. Sega needs to profit. Releasing an old IDES game in US probably isn't going to make them much money, if at all. Some of you are getting excited over 1 random link. Even if it was coming over, don't you think it would be on other sites? Other major gaming news sites, anime sites, Sega's official site. Yes it isn't June yet, but for a niche title release like IDES, they would've announced it officially at this point by now. They would want to let all the anime fans know about the game's release as soon as possible. The game will be "released" in 2 months. It would be stupid to officially announce and release a game that close together. Not to be the downer of the topic, but come on. This is obviously fake. Sega would rather make a new Initial D game all together rather than spend money marketing and re-releasing an old game. Sorry. This post has been edited by DrunkenKong on Apr 4 2011, 07:48 PM | ||

Yeah, that's true. Well then I hope Sony releases a new console this year or next year, so we can get a IDAS5 import or IDAS6 AA version for it That would be really nice. But I wonder why they didn't add more features or modes for IDES, like they did for Special Stage and Street Stage. This post has been edited by k0oanz on Apr 6 2011, 05:20 PM | ||

Are they going to add more modes in the game? Or just another reprint of the same exact game? That would be lame. | ||

They're re-printing it, so it'll be a lot easier to find, and on top of that it's going to be even cheaper than it was before. I paid I think $70 for mine on eBay a few months ago, and this new re-release is available for pre-order on Play Asia for about $40. |

I think this ship has sailed for an English release of the game. |

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | It's never going to get a proper US console release because there's such a small market for it. Sega of America would never consider it. The link states it will have English, probably because it may include the English manual that originally came with the Asian version of the game. |

Yeah, I know it's just for the re-print for the Best collection, but I'm still wondering why that link in the OP says it's in English. Even if the manual's in English, the game itself isn't. I figure that'd take priority over just the manual. It also said there's split-screen multiplayer, which isn't right either. On top of all that, if it were the Asian version, it says there's online multiplayer as well, which wasn't in that version. Unless they're talking about both versions at the same time, which is very possible. I think that site just posted bad information. | ||||

I just bought "the Best" edition Japanese version, for 40 bucks two months ago, I highly doubt there will be any cost savings with a reprint given it's only been a year. although Finding a copy in stock would be a lot easier, But again it only took me 45minutes to find and purchase one brand new. I could see them doing it because of a new update or something, but I'm willing to bet the farm everything for IDAS4 stopped at 1.5 including official support. So I'm a little ocnfused as to why they would even bother with a "reprint" although it might be the full game (Japan) with an English option or something backwards like that, Idk. I'm not very excited. | ||

It's an unofficial website posting information about a re-release of a game. Now, they might be just awfully uninformed, or they're trying to spread false rumors about how the re-release will be some "plus" version of the game with new features. No. If it's not on the official IDAS website, it isn't real. I'd say it has to be on the official IDES website, but it doesn't exist anymore. That should be a good barometer of how true ANY development news of a new IDES edition will be. The game is no longer in any stage of development. All the planned DLC was made available years ago and Sega has moved on to IDAS6AA. There will never be a special edition of IDES because Sega is done with it forever. | ||
