Update of Tokyo Xtreme Racer is up. Water/Oil mode is OPTIONAL

shame about UE5

>>715256765 (OP)
>Tokyo Xtreme Racer
What is this?

>>715256765 (OP)
Is the camera still stiff as a rock?

>>715257683
Racing game made by Jap that love street racing in the Japanese Highway. Its on the arcadey side and not a sim racer. The series mostly use japanese cars for their rosters. You race against other street racers in the highway. Racing involves outrunning your opponent or breaking their "spirit" aka their health bar on the top. Ramming and blocking your opponent is a viable option here. If you want to try out the series but cannot afford to play 2025, emulate Tokyo Xtreme Racer 0 or 3.

>>715258134
That's kinda neat, I'll check it out.

QOL stuff with water/oil/achievement,ui toggle

>>715257136
The Jap optimized the hell out of this game. The fact its only 7 GB is amazing.

Is the difficulty more balanced yet?
I've completed the game before, but the races where either piss easy or borderline impossible.
Those last bosses you had to pray they would crash.

>>715259050
Still that but now with oil/water for extra reward if you turn those on.

>>715256765 (OP)

that's... certainly a choice for the dev

>ealy access slop

>>715256765 (OP)
This is such a sexy update but I've already finished the early access campaign and I'm waiting for the full release before replaying the game.

>>715258985
haha, yeah

>still no Honda, Hanshin Expressway, or touge
I'll wait for the full V1.0 release

>>715260407
There is always the matter of finishing up those achievement
>achievement for DRAW 3 times
well fuck. I guess Draw 3 times and do not save

>>715259418
most iconic models are the 3, 6, 9, and 10.

cars are becoming more and more basedjak-like over time

>>715261559
Audi started it

>>715261794
it's not like designers are obliged to follow along and make bloated cars that are 20% covered in fake grilles

>>715262110
they do it to hide how bulbous cars have gotten, same reason 20" wheels have become the norm. pedestrian safety and fuel efficiency requirements have made it impossible for companies to make cars that aren't bloated bars of soap.

Doesn't the new impreza have a CVT?

>>715257683
shitty driving game but... in japan!!!

>>715262643
you can get the WRX at least with a manual.

did they fix the performance?

>>715262559
you don't have to remind me, mitsubishi lost their balls years ago
at least I still got my 2005 wagon lancer

you know, I can ALMOST see the resemblance in the front bumper if they removed the whole black grills. but yeah, that "eclipse" is unsalvageable
not every cars need to be lexus-lite, not even lexus themselves

>>715257136
>shame about UE5
what about it? game runs fine

Isn't full release supposed to be out by now? Most likely will start a new game when it's full release, but I will miss my old cars which I spend many many hours with in the livery creator.

remember tiny little Smart cars? this is them now. feel old yet?

>>715263950
Move up until September. Its heavily implied they're working out the licenses for Honda.

>>715263950
They delayed the full release to the end of September.

>>715264152
>>715264180
Did they increase the layer count so I can finish this?

>>715263987
the ForTwo was still being sold until last year. they made an EV version too. the Renault Twingo rides on an extended four door wheelbase version of the ForTwo platform

>>715256765 (OP)
They haven't actually made any significant changes during the entire early access, its all minor bonus content like camera modes and small balance tweaks. I dont know why people were expecting massive amounts of new content or significant features like day/night cycles, weather or cockpit cameras

>>715263820
Didn´t you know? "People" arround here think that is cool to hate on UE5

I hope they fix the no car audio bug. From what I can tell it's related to surround/positional audio, but I've always made sure to have those options disabled everywhere.

>>715264562
You're right. Hopefully the full release brings in a shitton of content.

>>715257683
imagine mario kart world but the tracks are even straighter

I recall people saying how easy the game is throughout, but I'm at a relatively early point, and there are several rivals that I flatout cannot beat in a race. They top out faster, they get ahead, and I just can't do anything about it. I'm not sure what I can or should modify to help break even. I don't know if it makes much of a difference, but I'm on the original version of the game.

I have a Subaru BRZ and a '15 Mazda Miata that I started with. At the Rebirth of the Legend objective. If the solution is just "git gud", then I'll keep trying, but I feel that I'm missing something.

I see they added achievements, are they retro active? I kind of want to start from scratch when the game comes out of EA, and that includes cheevos.

>>715266396
My achievement kept popping up for a minute, so yes

Is the only place to get mods for this game the official pisscord server?

>>715266245
>but I'm at a relatively early point, and there are several rivals that I flatout cannot beat in a race. They top out faster, they get ahead, and I just can't do anything about it.
Read their descriptions, some of them can be beaten by challenging them on sections of the highway that dont allow for their technique, aka Shuwa Shuwa Strong can be beaten by challenging on the twisty part of C1.
Also, tuning gear ratios is a huge deal.

>>715266965
>Also, tuning gear ratios is a huge deal.
I'll have to learn how to do that, but I didn't think about reading descriptions. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.

>>715267194
I'd also invest in a nitrous system when you unlock it, can be very helpful for those clutch neck to neck moments.

>>715267406
>when you unlock it,
I don't think that's for quite some time.

>>715267406
Team fade.

>>715265240
I strongly doubt it, and the fact that it's supposed to leave early access this year reinforces my doubt.

>>715266245
Change your tyre compound if you haven't done it yet. Medium is borderline useless because you either want soft for best performance or hard for very long stints on the road. Also as anon said, gear ratios. A good thumb rule for beginners is to set it up so that when you shift up, you end up with the max torque RPM.

>>715263987
i swear to fucking god, all cars today are build in the same factory, all of them look the same, it's almost like they all agreed on a certain pattern to reduce factory cost and group up together to shit a load of cars on the same production line

>>715268483
nice evo

>>715263820
>game runs fine
Yeah, when you set lighting to medium, because otherwise lumen kicks in and it's 20 fps
The game's performance doesn't correlate with how it looks
I have a 2080ti and I had to jiggle with the settings, trying different resolutions on my 1440p monitor. In the end I basically played with everything set to medium
Should a game that looks like this require so much horsepower?
Yes, NE5 (nigger engine 5) is to blame

>>715265240
lol

>>715264562
>significant features like day/night cycles, weather or cockpit cameras
No one is expecting that, retard
>I dont know why people were expecting massive amounts of new content
It will be two new acts with an according amount of new rivals and that's it. The core game will stay the same

>>715269240
>2080ti
>1440p monitor
based retard

>>715269978
>based retard
What's your point, nigger? When 2080ti came out it was advertised as a 4K gpu (those who believed it are actual retards)

>>715269939
>It will be two new acts with an according amount of new rivals and that's it.
Also Honda... hopefully.

>>715269240
Interesting number plate, many of my cars have an identical one to yours and I'm not sure why.

This is my favourite car.

I'm glad there's a way to speed up the CP grind but please, I beg, let me drive in the rain. I want to blast eurobeat and the tokyo drift ost while driving a shitbox at unsafe speeds in the rain.

>>715274003
Time of day is who gives a shit to me, but changing weather would be an absolute upgrade, driving in the rain over driving on dry roads is a huge difference.

When's 1.0?

That's another one.

I fucking hate this what the fuck Genki, turn it off it's so annoying

After 100%ing the first game, 2 is fucking terrible, maps way too big, cars way too infrequent, feels like total slop

>>715274003

that's heresy

>>715275927
It's more likely than you expect.

Is the current gen Swift Sport good? I got a gen1 Swift Sport and I love my little shitbox but would like to own something that's not almost 20 years old for a change, it's unfortunate that they're no longer naturally aspirated though.

>>715265240
do you think they're 'saving' loads of content for the full release? Lmao

I actually want this but I looks really easy

>>715277230
The ZC33S? The turbo'd 1.4L makes about the same power as the ZC32S's NA 1.6L, the biggest difference is in drivers assistance type shit. Honestly I would go with the 2011-2017, I prefer the look as well

The current roster is full Japanese (after all it's cars you're likely to meet in Tokyo), but expanding the roster with foreign brands is not out of the question.

I wouldn't get my hopes up, also pretty sure they already said they wouldn't add the Viper.

>>715279085
I popped a turbo onto one of my 32s, fucking love Swift Sports

>>715279874
I wouldn't even want a Viper in a game like this but something like an old Z06 would be sweet

>>715280059
Well the viper is a series staple pretty much, it's one of the most requested foreign cars, which is also why they specifically mentioned it.
A Z06 would be cool too, TXR3 had both a Vette and a Viper.

>>715280059
>I wouldn't even want a Viper in a game like this
there is literally a team consisting entirely of Vipers in 2, 0 and 3

>>715280340
And I don't want it

>>715280426
Because?

>>715280273
West Corvette my beloved

>>715279920
I've been pondering whether to get some performance parts for mine, like high lift camshafts and reinforced valves, but I wanna keep it naturally aspirated. I also don't wanna push it too hard and end up sending it to an early grave.

>>715256765 (OP)
Only reason to turn my computer on is UP!
Put this UE5 slop on Playstation, please!

>>715280620
Don't much care for it. Overrated meme car. Always was.

>>715280778
Yeah I picked a second at an auction as a spare before I tried boosting it in case I broke something, it's been great though. Only issue is I'm pretty sure the clutch has never been changed in ~260,000kms and with the extra grip from 19x8.5 inch wheels that I thought would look cool I sometimes end up pushing more torque than the clutch can keep up with and it slips out of gear.
Got a stage 1 exedy clutch upgrade sitting here, waiting on a lightweight flywheel before changing it.

>>715260127
its largely got its campaign content complete thanks to short-budgeting it via being mostly text, still images and backgrounds, and is mostly a situation of "it's released, now we just refine it to completion and implement all the fixes and features + feedback"

>>715281260
Ok, so it's just autistm. The car is already a series staple.

>>715282315
And I don't want it to be

>>715281898
Nice, enjoy it anon, maybe I'll do the same and pick a second one, though honestly I'm a bit of a hoarder and I think I'd end up buying a different hatch instead and having a collection.

>>715261326
Honda and other manufacturers should pop up, in the future
Genki cannot promise other courses/expansions.

>>715282175
>its largely got its campaign content complete
I highly doubt that. If you’ve played the previous games, you would know that facing Midnight Cinderella is somewhere between the first quarter and the first half of the game. I’m sure there will be many new teams and rivals to face, on the official release.

Having actually played the update for a few hours now, oil and water temps don't really matter in races but do impact speedtraps when you can't just be blasting the whole highway, still pretty fun to sit in sixth to let the engine cool while keeping speed.

seeing a game like this make a resurgence has me hunting down old arcade and simcade racers
was JP/EU Auto Modellista really that much better than US, and what suggestions would you all make

>run-on sentences

>>715258909
>Renderware?
Yes please.

>>715262559
Why are modern cars so hideous? It can't be all about the regulations, right?

>>715265576
but also much narrower, and the car doesn't want to go straight

>>715284583
>If you’ve played the previous games, you would know that facing Midnight Cinderella is somewhere between the first quarter and the first half of the game
seeing as how she used to be a wanderer that spawned on the Wangan based on system time that's not really a good form of measurement

>>715285530
this Id rather have Burnout 3 graphics than ue5 shloppa

I'm so fucking sick of Levorgs and RX-8s

>>715286619
hey you respect the spinny engine

>>715285737
regulations make the cars bulky and giant, the ridiculous styling is there to hide the weifht
it's like a fat person wearing stripes to visually hide their fat

>>715286619
Blame their introduction. RX8 offers all the stuff it need in a cheap price compare to all other cars at the time

>>715286283
sure thing sure thing

if Honda does end up included do you think they'll adjust the rival roster or will they just be completely absent as opponents?

Does this run at 60 on the 'eck without looking like complete dogshit and or stuttering all over the place?

>

>>715256765 (OP)
But can you do this?

>>715286209
I’ll be damned before believing the successor to the RX-7, let alone a character that has been a low-to-mid-level boss/wanderer, would be the final boss you face, in this game. It’s more believable to see the RX-8 to be a challenging car you’d face in the first half of the game, due to it being an RE car.
Despite it being an older car using the same 1.3 liter rotary engine, the FD RX-7 should continue to be used by higher-leveled rivals, late in the game. Perhaps things will be different in this game, but I’m hoping the RX-8 won’t continue to be overused during the possible second half of the game, on the official release. Perhaps it will turn out that Cinderella After Midnight a higher-leveled boss, compared to previous games, and there will be only one or two faster bosses after her – either that or she’s the new Speed King, which would be disappointing, as that would imply she’s the second-to-last-boss in the game and we have indeed been playing through most of the campaign since day 1 of Early Access.

TL;DR: I’m doubling down on the possibility that Cinderella After Midnight, with her Mazda RX-8 – the nerfed successor to the RX-7 imo – isn’t anywhere near close to being the final boss and I’ll be disappointed if we have been playing through most of the campaign since day 1.

>>715288674
Import Tuner Challenge was a weird game and a weird bookend to the original Shutokou Battle series.

>>715288941
Apart from the game being a baby game for babies, the music being shit and the BAD name for never losing not working, it's actually a pretty good game.

>>715257136
Zero stutters, 7gb, runs great on the deck.
Cant confirm but im sure its unreal 4 which is why it runs so well.

>>715287278
the real problem is the game is set in the modern day, so all the sport compacts that would've made up the rank and file rivals of old games are now old enough to be considered rare classics. an EG Civic is as old now as an S30 Fairlady/240Z was back during the era of the PS2 TXR games.

>>715288790
the Renesis in the Rx8 has more headroom for power than the 13B in the FD Rx7. it's just the Rx8 didn't have a turbo from the factory so it takes more work to get there. There are absolutely 500+ bhp turbo Rx8s out there. They also built a lot more Rx8s than FDs. even though the Rx8 is physically larger they weigh practically the same depending on equipment.
late game 'tuner' cars should be stuff like R35s, RC Fs, LFAs, and the new NSX.

Heard it has achievements now. Should I start a fresh new game?

>>715290485
Just load up your old one and get all those achivement

>>715260127
It's been out of EA for quite some time now.

>>715289919
it also takes place six years after TXR3 but has cars 15 years newer

>>715290185
they call it 'future Tokyo' for legal reasons so car manufacturers don't throw a fit over illicit street racing. the actual culture is set in a stasis of whatever year the game launched. that's why Drift 2 has nothing newer than 2006, because the game is functionally set in 2006. TXR25 is functionally set in 2025.

>>715290485
You'll get most of the achievements by just loading your save. There are some you'll have to be actively racing for however, and one achievement is bugged and can't be granted (the used tyres one).

>>715290571
>It's been out of EA for quite some time now.
EA was extended to late September back in May

>>715286619
I really do hope they change around which opponents use what cars in the full release, give it more diversity, when they add the whole car list.

>>715290257
