[BazaR33]

Anyone seen this game???

Can u get it in aus??

[mitch_SR32]

you need to get your ps2 chipped to make it play NTSC games. other than that i have played the 2004 one and it was pretty realiistic with a button for the clutch which you have to press to change the gears and everything.

i think you can buy it from ebay and have it shipped to your house.

I have the 2005 one.. nothing special.. i didnt know there was a clutch button

but yeah you have to mod your ps2 before playing it or use a boot up disk program like Swap magic

EA Games and Namco just signed a contract to bring D1GP to the english speaking masses this year. Stay tuned, a local version will be available soon.

Japanese 2006 edition (or whatever the last installment is) is still pretty cool though.

Do u no if it would be availble on PC??

[nice 28]

looks like a good game.

any news on the english version?

and as said above will it be available on pc?

[vuey28]

ummm about the PC question I kinda doubt it.. I hope it comes out in English.. too much Jap for me to handle

Awsome!

To bad the GT4 steering wheel pedals dont have a third pedal for a clutch. Im sure i could rig something up though.

[nice 28]

if you want it to be more realistic, logitech has made a steering wheel and pedals which have a clutch and it also has a 6 speed gearbox.

But the 300 US dolar price tag doesnt go too well with it.

heres the site for it

Damn thats pretty expensive. I was hoping it was for the ps2.

[nice 28]

I'm pretty sure that i read somewhere in there that it was for pc and ps2.

But it still is pretty expensive even if it is for both.

Hey guys, I got this game yesterday.

I am ok but not great at it.

Anyone feel like giving me some tips on how to drift easily, like what is the best mothod and so forth.

Also any other tips?

[Madaz]

best tip i can give is practise and dont give it toooo much GAS or arround u go

um did u get the PS2 game or Racer the free car simulator

[SKYLVIA]

i give it too much gas...

should i just tap the accel?

[kingyvl]

I got the d1 2005 on ps2.

I finished secong in the champ last night so I must be getting better.

Manual is much better to drift aswell, u can control the car more.

Also change to tyres more towards the drift end of the scale.

[kingyvl]

i give it too much gas...

should i just tap the accel?

this is how I do it:

Come into the corner say in 4th,

off the gas,

brake maybe,

turn in,

down shift to 2nd,

get back on the gas and tap if need be.

c how u go.
