Do you honestly expecting to see that big projection TV in your arcade ? rolleyes.gif
Also, can anyone confirm the "Winter" in the Official Site mean 2007 or 2008 ? Because if it's Winter 2007, that would mean February to March, but Winter 2008 would be a very long time. That's why I think we should see it release in Japan within half years.

Just to add some perspective on this forum.

I have a vested interest to see the arcade industry grow again. I think we have the weapons in the market like ID4 to make the industry hit the players hard - but we also have to fight for credibility and airtime against a slumping consumer sector.

That aside, if you guys fight for your local venue to get the game then they will be forced to get the game, or their competitive venue (or even Sega) will get it. There is a lot of momentum within Sega to operate their own games again in the face of a slow and uncomfortable operator industry.

Think on this - if all the forum players list the sites where they play IDV3 now, and then demand that ID4 is purchased all you can hope for is that you prove your support. For Sega you will prove there is interest Internationally.

I was at the Sega trade launch last week, and the arcade cabinet used for ID4 is the LindBergh Universal driver cabinet - which will be used on all future drivers. The feeling is that Q3 07 will be USA release date, (just one cloud on the horizon, sources say IC cards will be a log jam for US operators - they hate them!)

so the handling is more loose now? I guess it would take a lot of skill to do that.

If the stablity is loose then, Go figure.. shifty2.gif

QUOTE
What CAN'T Drift ?!?!? WTF!!!! That is ironic to extreme. The whole point of ID is to drift. Has someone made up this rumour or something? I can not agree with this.

Reasons for this theory? (I'm guessing  )

-drifting has always been slower than grip hence no point using it in battles.
-no one knows the precise drift command.
-Reply changes the cars movement (Most unlikely)
-Only some cars can drift on some courses.

Ino it sounds silly. But its TRUE. I don't wanna start another "war" over this.. Already been discused in the Q. and A. section.

As for as4 having REAL Drifting. I don't count only sliding drifting. Unless your counting a powerslide a beginners drift. Then meh.

So akina lake. Could you crash into trees...?

The blue text above the cabinet says something along the lines of "Now with a 32 inch LCD screen, beautiful graphics are shown" I'm just reading the Kanji and trying to make out some katakana so yea it's probably not that accurate.

The high number of V3 machiens over here was built up over V1- V3...

Most local places will not get ID4 cabinets, and definitely not in multiples per location ( like IDAS before ) sad.gif

I read somewhere that version 3 machines cost about $8000USD each and if you buy a double cabinet it's like $15000USD, it might have come down in price a bit though since version 4 will be out soon. I'm pretty sure it will be over $10000USD each since the screen is much nicer and I'm sure the Lindbergh board cost a whole lot more too.

I personally think v4 will rape v3. Version 4 looks really really nice and to top it off, I been hearing that it will be more "realistic" so that's a big PLUS ! smile.gif
