D-G Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hmm do you think Initial D is a good impression of what cars look like and can do?? I mean its pretty realistic...sorta. and realli the only thing missing is the clutch! The movie is featuring D1 drivers as the characters, so i doubt there will even have a proper story!!! WHY DONT THEY HAVE R33'S IN INITIAL D?! EXPLAIN THAT TO ME!! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59397-initial-d/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaido_RR Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 ok initial d is cartoon an r33 isnt a good drift car, due to its weight (but again this really isnt the case if the driver knows what he is doing, as there have been much heaver cars drift in the d1 etc) and initial d has the clutch it oh dude change colour of ur text i cant read it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59397-initial-d/#findComment-1133201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-G Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 Very true it is a cartoon, but you dont see R33 2 doors when the D1 drivers drift in a skyline, they always have 4 door, even though they still rarely use a R33 in it, its usually the 34, which i really dont like much... and where do you see the clutch?!?!

Kaido_RR Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 i cant remember but i have watch all eps from stage 1 to stage 4 (inc the newly rls eps7 and 8) and there is a clutch. my thread on the 4dr is that is has an affect once it starts drifting to hold the drift longer or better you can say due to the increase in lenght or something like that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59397-initial-d/#findComment-1133213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaido_RR Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 also i guess the reason for no r33 in the d1 is that. the drivers are up agaisnt the best drifters in japan. And to win you need the right car, so to say picking an s1x type car would make it much easier to drift than an r33 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59397-initial-d/#findComment-1133216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-G Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 what i ment was they could of put a clutch in the game, not the episodes... ino theres a clutch in the episodes... dl battle stage, saves you the trouble of watching all the series... i mean a 86 wouldnt be much use in automatic lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59397-initial-d/#findComment-1133223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-G Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 ohh do u mean the arcade game? yeh thats what i was ment to say.. lol see wouldnt it be mad and a good starter for leaners if they got used to using a clutch and blah blah with cars... i mean they make enough money as it is with all there products... it costs $25,000 to buy two version 3 machines, think about how much money you would make $2 each game....

imperium Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 that would be a great idea to put a clutch in arcade driving games, it would make it more realistic. But i have never seen any with a clutch Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59397-initial-d/#findComment-1133237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hard Drivin' had a clutch and amazingly realistic steering feel and wind noise sound... It also had shitful graphics! Some versions of 355 Challenge have a clutch too (I used to have the Chadstone lap record for Suzuka long)...

Rezz Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 But i have never seen any with a clutchFerrari F355 Challenge by SEGA AM had a clutch... but the gear stick was on the righthand side, so it was hard to get used to. Awesome 3-screen setup, and the clutch was super heavy with a notchy 6-speed 'box. Best driving arcade game ever.Heres our man Shuey having a go: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59397-initial-d/#findComment-1133260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-G Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 Very intresting.... would of been nice if people that make the games could hear this, sometimes if they just took quotes or something the game would be made a whole lot better, but i guess they make enough money as it is at the moment.... theres a new initial d machine being made aparently and it has a flat screen, now that is pretty impressive!!

racsov500 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 i have a friend who has spent (seriously) hundreds, possibly thousands on the initial d machines. i had a go of it, and the lack of a clutch kinda ruined it (i dont go to arcades very often) plus you have to fight for the machines, all the little kids play it. i dont think they even realised that your meant to drift, as they pick integras ect. and i think it is for that reason they havent, and probably wont, put in a clutch, cause the most of the kids wont know what the hell it is. you rarely see any nissans being used. plus its too fast. the makers of gran turismo realised this years ago, and everyone still makes ther games ridiculosly fast. version 3 is an improvement over v2.

No only released in Jap NTSC - but you don't need a chip if your TV supports NTSC. PAL PS2's will play all NTSC games just fine. I've got heaps of NTSC games on a bog stock never-opened Aus ver 5/6 PS2. Something to think about.
