Thanks for the feedback.. I am downloading it now. I wish the other stages were ripped too from their blurays. Or is there someone who already ripped Stage 1 and 2 from the bluray?? This post has been edited by AE86Takumi on Jun 24 2015, 09:17 AM | ||

Stay tuned for Initial D Rally Stage, as predicted by our very own Seri senpai in some thread in the Commuminity forums, where Takumi joins Subaru's WRC Team and becomes the 1st Japanese driver to ever win a WRC Championship... with a super modded BRZ with 86 misfiring systems piggy-backed unto the boxter engine's manifold ...he still delivers tofu. Only in Europe though. | ||

There's no Blu Rays on the Japanese market for 4th Stage, only R2 DVD's Suka Bazooka dude~ I wouldn't hold my breath to be honest. Also, I don't know how practical or viable a Blu Ray of 4th Stage would be since it was animated for small rezzy TV~ of course OB Planning could just take the master Premiere/After Effects/Cel Shader/ etc project files and re-scale everything to 1080p level, but... once an animation studio finishes production it's off to the mastering department & they forget about it. Someone that handles the BD mastering rarely has access nor the software that the studio animators have. They just upscale & chomp the aspect ratio + resolution. Thus it will probably never be released in 1080p proper fashion, since OB Planning already classified 4th Stage as history. It'd be more viable to think that 1 day they'll make some Legend movies out of Project D in 1080p, and even for that I wouldn't hold my breath. So... No 4th Stage 1080p. Probably never. | ||

They technically already released 1080p blurays of Fourth Stage. And from the few screenshots I've seen, indications are that they were pretty much just horrendous upscales - emphasis on horrendous, because they looked bad even for upscales. Being an SD-era TV anime with all digital animation, Fourth Stage's CG probably wasn't rendered at anything higher than 540p, and it's a sure bet both the CG assets and the original high-res 2D art assets have long since been deleted to free up disk space. All that's left is an SD video master, which, unlike the film masters for Third Stage, can't just be scanned at a higher resolution. You're probably never getting a proper 1080p - or even 720p - release of Fourth Stage until someone finds some really cutting-edge multi-frame SR and patch-based upscaling tech, throws both those things at the footage, and keeps doing that in slightly different ways until acceptable results are finally reached. Hell, you'd probably still need some After Effects trickery afterwards to make it halfway convincing. | ||

Now I can binge watch Initial D again and bask myself in nostalgia. On a related note, do look up MF Ghost. It is the spiritual sequel to Initial D by the same author. Takumi and Ryosk is mentioned several times throughout. Enjoy! |
