Thread 718218638

Whoever made this ghetto Tokyo Xtreme Racer (this one is called Tokyo Racer X), well done. This is 4$ on nintendo eshop, and it's the best fucking 4 dollars I've spent in my entire life. There's literally no good realistic artstyle racing games for switch, and suddenly someone decided to drop a JDM style Wangan Midnight + Project Torque highway racing+track drifting arcade game. This is supposed to be a ripoff of an early access game on PC that costs 30$, while it itself costs 4$? Wow, this is best value in video game I've ever seen. This is how you price your video games publishers, take fucking notes!

racing games are for immigrants

>>718219464
car games are the most american game genre.

wake me up when someone makes an indie spiritual successor to picrel

>>718219832
I played this on a modded og xbox with a friend couple of years ago, was funny game

>>718219879
it's crazy they managed to make the funnest and most feature-packed NASCAR game right when NASCAR was at its peak of quality. or at least, close to it.

Is this the same game?

>>718220846
Yes, this looks to be the game

>>718220210
EA was at their peak back then

>>718221108
in general, 2003-2005 was the golden age for sports games of all kinds.

>>718222058
what the fuck are these nonsense driving on ice physics?

>>718222592
It's the magick of handbrake :^)

>>718219365
lmfao this has worse handling than 1996's type 4 I played a week ago. you have no taste.

>>718222825
I haven't played that, but it's possible it has better handling. The thing going for this game is the highway racing (which I don't see in many games), and the ability to tune the performance of the cars. It's a bit of jank but it also has good selection of JDM cars

>>718222592
zoomers play driving games for "vibes", not because they actually like cars or racing. weird fucko physics and mumble trap soundtracks with a mandatory VHS filter are prerequisites.

>>718223105
So you would say games like NFS HP2, MW, Undercover and NFSU 1-2 are also zoomer garbage? :(

>>718223481
Most Wanted Carbon and Undercover are zoomercore. Underground series is borderline. Hot Pursuit has none of what I listed. in fact, none of the above titles do, and I only humoured the 'street' titles because they were trying to cash in on the early 00s wigger elements of car culture even though they at least still pretended to give a shit about people who actually cared about the mechanical side of cars.

Looks pretty fun OP. Any car customization?

>>718224112
You can alter the appearance of the car a little bit, but not by much. The coolest aspect is making the car go faster by upgrading the engine horsepower. Being able to create 590bhp honda civic is funny as hell

>>718224006
I think street racing games in general disappeared, and suddenly all of the racing games were about track racing. The street racing didn't return until Horizon and Crew series brought it back, but it's not the same as this highway racing (which seems to be its own niche). This game is cool because it does both highway racing, and there's little bit of that janky arcade drifting (and most importantly, it has the cars you wanna drift in the first place, the jdms)

>>718223105
obligatory

>>718224556
Need for Speed was always there, and they were always the big dog of the genre. Midnight Club more or less got rolled into GTA, and GTA 5 lets you do more stuff with your car customisation-wise than any MC did.
stuff like Burnout and Crazy Taxi weren't for people who actually liked cars, they were for the Mario Kart demographic.
it's not just a matter of arcade physics, but the fact the physics are bad. arcade ≠ "waggle across the road like a snake, bouncing off traffic like a pinball". There's good arcade and bad arcade, and this looks a lot like some shit-ass jank bargain-bin arcade. The fact you can't tell the difference speaks volumes to your taste in games.
>using 'JDM' instead of 'tuner'
this is what marks you out as a zoomer, for the record.

>>718218638 (OP)
>Tendie talks about how amazing this piece of shit is because he doesn't have a pc
I'm tired of this genre of human.

>>718224959
JDM is it's own thing. Being able to tune audios and bimmers is cool and all, but when I say JDM that's what I mean, it has big emphasis on JDM. Sure it's missing some of more obscure models like cressidas, crowns, chasers and marks or whatever, but it has tons of more JDM than any of the westoid racing games. I'm not sure if even the modern gran turismo has good coverage of JDM anymore, since that series too seems to be about "modern cars" now. Haven't played Forza so can't comment on that

>>718225019
4 dollars is 4 dollars anon. It's like wangan midnight and project torque had a baby

>>718218638 (OP)
its also on steem
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2073470/Kanjozoku_Game__Online_Street_Racing__Drift/
its just a shitty unity assetflip that i sunk like 15 hours since there wasnt really anything wangan related on steam
just get txr if you play on pc or nightrunners

>>718225207
I understand the value and portability angles, but give me some other positives. Why would I play this if I could just go play one of those games, or TXR? Does it have any standout cars besides the usual Supra/Skyline/STI/RX-7/Lanevo/etc? Do you get to see the anime tiddies flop around when you hit a wall? Surely it has to have something unique to it.

>>718225207
I don't care, a shit game is shit. Only a tendie would play a shitty game and pretend it's remarkable because he has no other choices. I can buy actual AAA videogames from the era they weren't shit and they cost 4 dollars, I can buy the new txr or emulate an older one, why would I play this?

>>718225640
What's txr? I do have good PC but I mostly play on switch now, and like you, couldn't find wangan style highway racers for swatch

>>718225770
>What's txr?
really nigga?(assuming you are OP)
you mentioned txr in your original pot now you ask what it is?
oh what a pillock

>>718225852
Sorry I've only seen one thread to TXR beforehand, I haven't had the time to memorize the acronym. Highway racers in general, I haven't gotten to play many of them, wangan midnight (jp import) for ps3 was kino but that's all I got to experience.

>>718219365
Looks ass

This is some more track drifting.. ironically with a awd civic

Looks well worth the 4 bucks, thanks for posting.

Now this is some jank

>>718227383
This driving looks like you're driving The Crew 2's hovercrafts.

>>718229225
I think in some arab countries they like to drive their cars on the highways like this. I remember playing LFS at some point, and there was a server where they were doing it. There's probably some proper term for that style

>>718220457
>>718220719
Looks like one of those fake games you'd see being played in the background in a movie or a sitcom or something.

>There's literally no good realistic artstyle racing games for switch
Grid is pretty great.

how much did they pay you to shill this Pajeet?

>>718231081
The problem I have with grid is that it's track racing. That Club Unlimited 2 or whatever is called is closest thing to something I'd normally like to play, but that too seems to have its fair share of problems, and the roads are too wide. This janky ass game (the one in OP) is the one that reminded me that highway racers are the one I actually might prefer the most. Game with tuning, street/highway racing (not wide roads from horizon/crew), that's what we need more of (in general, but also on switch more so)

Not many games let you do this on a highway that has traffic innit

while being chased by cops

>>718231081
>digital triggers
Lol

>>718232995
As opposed to any other racing game on the Switch? Grid also supports a Gamecube controller anyway, though I don't know why people don't consider just using the right stick for acceleration and braking, it feels pretty natural.

>>718233339
nta, but I've been using right stick for acceleration ever since GT5 on PS3. Analog triggers would still be nice to have for others reasons though (at least for drifting), like analog clutch and analog handbrake (GT5 didn't let you bind clutch to any button on game controller, yet it worked completely fine if you had a steering wheel.. womp womp).

It's the sound effects that does it.. I laugh every time when something funny happens because of the sound effects. Muted videos don't quite convey it the same way

>>718219365
Needs some kind of a visual filter for the car. As is the car level of detail is clashing with the environment creating the "Nintendo hire this man" style.

>>718224814
touge demo fucking when?

>>718235267
I think it's pretty good for the most part. Bear in mind this is from Switch, it probably looks even better on PC

>>718236484
it looks the same on pc

So naturally if someone got some street/highway racers for switch I'm open for suggestions. Maybe if microsoft ports forza to switch 2 that'd be something. Still the roads on forza are quite different than in "street racer" games. Hell however good it was, even TDU1 was very different from NFSU/Midnight Club tight-knit streetracing. There seems to be "street racing" games, then there's "open world" games/games set in open roads.

bump

Just play ridge racer anon.

>>718240110
Does it allow tuning/customization of cars?

>>718241615
If you want that go play Tokyo Extreme Racer on steam.

>>718242093
I'm trying to reduce PC gaming so ideally it'd have to be a game on Switch 2
