Extreme Stage for PS3 came out in 2008--it seems like a new version is due. With 5 and 6AA out in the arcades for an extended time already, and with the PS3 reaching the later years of its life, it seems like Sega must be preparing a home port to hit soon. It's really hard to find any arcades with these versions in the US, so it would be awesome. Any news anyone? |

They have to be able to market the game, which would require a lot of potential buyers to what is a niche title. |

But I don't mind Port from IDAS.5 with IDAS.6 cars lineup |

Hello again~~ Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,054 Member No.: 21,309 Joined: Oct 26th 2006 Location: West Borneo, where the jungle lies | I felt that IDAS.5 gameplay is the most suitable for most courses, off course SEGA still need to tweak the Tire management, previously we only fully use the tire boost at CP4, maybe if only applicable in different CP, which make the game more strategical, and it offer different style/setting like IDAS.6 so it will effect the tire boost. and in IDAS.5 most cars can almost stand on equal ground when battle, in IDAS.6, FF cars almost useless. |

It seems like it only sold about 80,000 on VGChartz...Still, it had a "PS3 the Best" release, which seems odd if that was all it sold. | ||

Like, if they originally produced 100,000 discs, and sold 80,000 units, that's 80% success, which is good. |

Not to mentioned online play that comes with being a PS3 release. I'm not optimistic that they would port it, but I'm still praying for it someday.
I guess that makes sense because they're not suppose to even be able to drift in real life so they're probably not going to drift well in the game should not perform well based on the way boost is allocated. This post has been edited by SonicSP on Sep 12 2011, 09:18 AM | ||

Thus, making the cars performance really unbalanced, during IDAS.5, Players were more daring when it come to choosing cars for battle and more varieties, now AE86s are like must have car for Time attack , similar to IDAS.4 S2000/AE86. if SEGA want to port, let's hope they pick IDAS.5 with IDAS.6 cars lineup And this isn't really related to the topic, but Arcade Stage Forum still stuck with IDAS.5 logo and banner, any mods kindly willing to change it? I can provide the banner and logo This post has been edited by venth85 on Sep 13 2011, 01:57 AM | ||
