I just play Initial D V3 for a while just to go on time attacks. But I'm not use to it anymore. So I'm pretty weak on IDV3 already. I'm going on Initial D 4 already because I'm use to it.

they removed those courses so u can ACTUALLY drive them with all that drifting in it, haha. if u were to have those other courses, ud be hitting walls from left to right, and probably never finish the course. haha

well i think that if you drive properly, you can just make a turn and not drift. it is not like you are actually FORCED to drift at every turn.
ie: i think tht u all agree that you can more or less drift on akina snow. well there is a way to Not drift, if you can control your turns well enough. i think that it is the same concept for v4. although it will be kinda hard not to drift on shomaru whistling.gif .

anyway, i chose ID because the tracks are narrow unlike many other racing games. and the things your car does are actually realistic (not like fast and the furious where you drive AND FLY)

@ Tomo
IDv4 in montreal is a joke. the only good arcade that i play IDv3 in is like too poor to get it this year. the only "rich" arcade said that it will come out in june. then it became july, then august, and now, they dont know when its coming out anymore. the last arcade in montreal does not even have IDv3.

but i dont think that would happen on myogi or usui xD

Well on some videos I seem them turn a hell of a lot earlier, if we did what we do normaly on ver.3 on there, we would be hitting the walls @_@

well, no!!!! lol.... Tsuchisaka, Shomaru, and Happohagara is perfect for dirfting.. only noobs will hit walls right and left.... furthermore, drifting isnt the only alternative right?

i live in montreal, so no arcade has it yet??? might pick up as4 but MT3 is getting my attetion alot. if as4 isnt there yet then A2K would probably hav a double cab of v3 (unless they removed it for a 2nd time). from the sound of it, it looks like you were asking around for AS4 at A2k

well, there are certain area's of the course that would not work very well on AS4 because of its sliding physics
Tsuchisaka : the rollercoasters... because of the amount of speed you gain before them you would just get major understeer going into them on as4.. all tho because on as4 you lose speed on smaller turns before the tunnel coming upto it , it might of made the speed work with the RC but it is still too tight
Shomaru : the course is too narrow, if you slid like you do in as4 the nose and behind of your car would be raping the wall
Happo : on IB problems would be the consec turns near end of CP1 , the snake hairpins cp3 .. all tho i could see a way of it working in as4...kind of like akagi

Still playing v3. Tried v4... felt more like Ridge Racer than Battle Gear (am a fan of Battle Gear, by the way -- very realistic physics). I kinda prefer v3 for the physics, but the gameplay of v4 (tuning aspect) is more interesting.

Despite the machines being out of cards for the past month and partially broken machines, my team and I still play V3. We used to have a V2 but they switched it with this a few years back. I've also been hearing (albeit unfounded and quite possibly false) rumors that we're getting some V4 cabs. The only reason I mention this is we have a friggin DDR Supernova 2 beta in our arcade and us V3 players have been getting the short end of the stick for months now so it sounds plausible. One can hope right? I don't even care if it's all in Japanese, it's gotta be better than what we have now.

I feel your pain... T_T All I have to say is... patch? shifty2.gif lol.. j/k It's not gonna happen most likely... (ok... entirely likely). Maybe Initial D Version 5 then... All we can do is hope ^^

That sucks! I guess all we do is hope and pray that Version 5 (if that will ever come out) has Tsuchisaka. happy.gif U gotta admit, it's one of the most funnest (I know that's not a word) course in the game.

Funnest is indeed a word... of course, it's a different word form of another word whose usage isn't frowned upon as "funnest" is.

If there is a Version 5... the time delay from AS4 to 5 will be much larger than Ver3 to AS4 (3 years). Why? I think it's because people are catching on that AS4 sucks and is more ridiculous than Ver3.

But don't get me wrong. It's fun and I play it. laugh.gif

I stand corrected. whistling.gif But I get what ur saying. I think I'll continue to play V3...even if it's like once a month or something.

I returned once. A part of me kept nagging that I should try FTing my GDB since it was already at the 800k mark.

But when I tried filling the blanks in my TAs (Akina Snow, Shomaru, Tsuchisaka), I realized that acclimatizing to V4 made me really, really awful at handling V3.

At every tight corner, I found myself doing LFB tappity-taps and PC. So my times became subpar to say the least.

Maybe I'll try again next time to get back my V3 groove, but I dread tackling Happogahara (my worst course in the game, and the only area I haven't notched a TA yet in any direction/condition) with my V4 habits intact.

Something's got to give.

I was excited for AS4 but the handling of the cars there disappointed me (im entitled to my opinion right?) but anyway, I liked the new animations before each battle in story mode plus the characters have voices and move..the customization of the car is...so-so..anyway the primary reason that prevents me from playing it more to enhance my skills is that its very expensive here in the philippines (since its a new arrival and the managers won't lower the price coz a lot of people still play it)..Sooooo..I went back to playing version 3 again..I was going to quit recently but some unexpected events kept from retiring..I have one personal time attack goal to reach before the end of the year and will battle more people to finish off my IDAS3 experience before I retire. happy.gif
