I'd actually rather be able to turn accept on in a couple seconds rather than having to go to the menu, select battle, then wait the (was it 30?) seconds, then play.

yea i know is frustrating waiting after battles start n stop ... sigh ... is that wat they called development ??? yea is bout 30 secs but anyway ter muz b a reason which is only subject to the JAP's version n may b the programmer was too lazy n programmed it together wit the EXP version ...

ur right but what about the noobs cuz in d4 & 5 once u challenge u can't turn it off

plus funny thing was once these noobs saw me play id4 & they were laughing me & when i ask them 2 play me they said that "real men play mt" so im like ok i play them & they were using dupe cards & both pick osaka cuz they said thats a real mans map

anyways they had 760/d & i had 680/g & i beat them 2 pulp & then after the race i told them "real men play bg4, u wanna play me" & they got scared & i said "oh by they way u just got beaten by a loser that was play id4" & i wasn't even using my ft car lol

Honestly, MT has so much more gameplay features than ID5, even though if the presentation is not as good.

For example, MT has...
1) up to 4 way multiplayer
2) easier, cheaper, adjustable tuning system
3) unlockable custom paint colour (ID5 Int.Version stuck with the only colour you picked)
4) Better variety of cars
5) GHOST BATTLE (this rocks because you can challenge people who are not there or are kings of courses)
6) Outrun Mode (where you can use it to wait for people to show up and challenge you)
7) Story mode with 100 stages.
9) Frigging huge range of cars
10) AURA that grows with the car's mileage and changes colour according to your race style
11) Wins = stars; I'm at 2k over now, I'm struggling to hit 60 in IDAS
12) Ranking; what's Battle Level is the SSS ranking in MT; it also determines how heavy traffic will be. Up it to create difficulties for your opponents (and yourself)
13) Time Attack

Initial D 5 International Version has exactly:
1) Story Mode
2) Stores 3 cars on one card; bonus no requirement to renew card
3) Time Attack
4) Accept Challenge on
5) Silliest method of tuning; sorry, upgrading (take out and put in every 3 games...not even an automatic screen pop up for configuration)

So, it's not hard to see why people gravitated to MT when IDAS began to start sucking from V4 onwards. IDAS3 still rocks because when MT2 was around IDAS3 kicked its arse with Bunta mode, Racer Level, Battle Level/Aura/Percentage Wins, arguably more engaging soundtrack and decent tracks (Shomaru, Usui, and Tsuchizaka FTMFW).

Rest in peace IDAS, I'll miss you.

I wouldn't exactly say ID3 kicked MT2's ass. I would say it was more of a tie.

i agree with jerry, id3 & mt2 was a tie, it was just that ppl id3 came out earlier then mt2 so once mt2 came out ppl get the hype cuz it was different & then once id4 came out some ppl just stopped playing cuz it sucked

If I wasn't mistaken, when ID2 was out there was already Wangan Midnight R, which was crap, then MT, which competed directly with ID3. MT2 came out within a year and a half to keep up with ID3.

No, MT2 came out around the time ID3 came out.

well i do like the game play of d3 the most & i do like the way that i can mix match my kit on 4

but in general i wish they bring back the way d3 was

plus mt1 came after id2

Still think that IDV3 was better your right when 4 came out it just died and fast!

Those new graphics wont make up for the greatness ID3 was.

IDAS5 is the best yet period...

ya this is how i ended up thinking that id might be died 2 me even though it might not

& plus i was an on & off mt & id3 player & after d4 came out i was hyped 4 the while but that soon died out, since i still only play d4 just 2 remember this guy that gave me tips on how 2 play/tune car he left 4 good

funny thing is i have mentioned this be4 was when id4 came out i was 1 of the 1st few 2 get a card & now i finally got my 1st renew 2 months ago

Yeah. Just up there with our dreams for auras, a decent avatar system, or at least a damn frickin' IR.

sega never thought 2 expand id5 outside of japan, plus i dun mind about the IR i just wish they had a frickin website 4 id5

They do. Granted, it's in Japanese, but they do have it. There were numerous links to it in the Pre-ID5-Anticipation thread; just cant seem to find it in there.

For me, what's so great about ID is that, I could feel the thrill of Touge racing. Like earlier tonight, when I raced Takumi @ Nagao for the umpteenth times (and lost again.. ) I could feel the adrenaline rush all those racers must've felt while racing. Though I managed to get better TA in Nagao, I think it's still not enough to beat him..

And for the record, I also play MT. I like it for a different reason: it's all about driving, and somehow, I feel relaxed when I'm driving. Also like earlier tonight, after the nth time of lost against Takumi, I decided to do a couple of ghost battles in MT. Picked the straightest course (Wangan Line), the weakest opponent (720 hp vs my 800 hp), all I have to do is floor it to the finish and make sure that I don't hit any traffic.

Bottom line is, if I want to race, I'll pick ID. If I just want to drive, I'll pick MT.

Just my two cents...

I like IDAS5 better than IDAS3 now. I feel more thrill when playing IDAS5, like the opponents talk during the race with reactions depending on what you do (I disliked IDAS4 though). Oh, the ecstasy of Iro jumps! It's a shame that there's no English version here (if there's any at all, but not that I know of).

In terms of battles, I'd rate ID series like a samurai sword fight. If you make a mistake in a boost-off battle, you better pray like mad your opponent makes a mistake too or it's all over. Even the slightest thing could mean game over for you. If they are both equally matched as opponents, it'll become a battle of attrition; who will lose consequentially?

Meanwhile, MT is like......a multiplayer chess game. You can formulate strategies, race various styles (ram, smooth, mix, traffic bump) and because the courses are quite long, you can have different plans of attack, which makes it quite exciting as well.

While ID makes it up for the intensity of the matches, MT is just plain fun. Isn't what all games are about?

Boost off in Irohazaka sucks
But then only people who don't know what boost is would go boost on in my country D:

Hey!ID has the avatar system!

each car feels distinctively feel differently allowing many options

nothing wrong with Boost in ID... heck... the Japs play boost on matches to keep things interesting.

granted... Boost Off matches have more bragging rights attached to it...

just dont diss Boost On matches. Its no less technical than Boost Off except just a ball game with a different set of rules.

Well, I like IDAS5 because I love the excitement of it!
I don't really like Wangan because there are so many people playing it, I need to like wait for half an hour to play it. The people playing IDAS5 isn't that much compare to Wangan. And there's a lot of pro playing IDAS5, I can't wait to fully tuned my Subaru GC8 and beat them.

The only reason why I don't like MT because of the fact that you can't win with a stock car unlike in IDAS. I wish that MT had a feature that if you're a guest and someone challenges you, you get to have the same HP as the challenger. Fair right?

ermm if IDAS5 is packed with players playing like in Time Sq n Leisure Mall would u change your mind of playing IDAS5 ???
