So... barely a year after MT4 comes out, what looks like the beta for MT5 is announced


http://wanganmaxi-official.com/wanganmaxi5/


It looks like a beta only, but it means its already under heavy development... in other words...

should be getting it in 1-2 years maybe



Annnd we get it. A pretty rudimentary version but we got it.

so the Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ and the Skyline R30....

and new map C2 Area....
and a new VS battle mode: Extreme VS mode....

sound interesting

Gee, well that was quick. Guess I might as well look out for any new updates about this. =)

it may take some time for thing making more clear to us...and at least if the Japan launch it first, we can get a hold of the whole thing better....

do I have the feeling of changing certain parts in a target course for unpredictable outcomes

or maybe the brutality of WMMT2 course layouts like hakone with traffic

Extreme battle mode =

SPOILER

That'll be fun.

Most likely they'll be reintroducing barricades for VS mode in the Extreme version, something that was left out since MT2.

Can someone explain what is the barricade mode?

The only barricades I know of exists only in MT2 and it usually appears on Wangan Line on the straightway near the sloping tunnel.I have not seen it in the subsequent editions of Maxi Tune.

It is usually only big enough for 2 cars to pass through and ramfests can get extremely brutal there.

MT2 had barricades on the NBL routes, which could appear either on the left or right lanes. They made for interesting ramfests back then

Extreme mode = barricades? Hope thats not all...

I hope the traffic return in hakone

extreme battle mode? car damage perhaps

it was hardly a year and we've got MT5 in the works now. |: I do hope it comes as an update instead of a new game altogether.

extreme battle sounds like fun though, I like me a huge ramfest for the lulz

I wish Extreme Battle will make traffic cars have AI for the lulz.
They have the same speed as you and may even ram you....

Or maybe we can play with someone overseas in the same time? But with 8 players in a game.

sorry to sound lame but what the hell is extreme battle? lol. The battle where the outcome doesn't come from who passes finish line first but who wasted the opponents' car the most? xD

and it will be fun if they would reopen that dual ramp we had in MT2. Also the one in the New Belt Line Clockwise (after the bridge before the left right drop back to C1. Some sort of a highway bus stop where I used to pass through in MT2 story mode)

there are my 2 guesses to that extreme mode...

guess 1 is the random blockades at a certain points in a target course along with unpredictable AI car traffic

guess 2 is as the same style with Wangan Midnight R in which all opponents have a lifebar and the chaser has to outrun the lead to minimize the lifebar loss

but my money is at guess 1

OR!

Game physics would come from Midnight R Now THAT would be something cool

I think this only felt quick for International players as they only had a 1 year wait. Imagine us Indonesian having to wait two years to learn that a new game is on the works. It's like Righteous Slaughter 7.

Q1. Is the new course extension actually C2 Route or is it Shinjuku and Tohoku(???) like in Import Tuner Challenge? Genki modeled that bit and the course was also shown to have been modeled but blocked off in WM PS3. There is a turnaround at a certain point in the end of the line that goes to street level like Fukuoka. Because the C2 route right now is incomplete. If the route really is modeled the Wangan line would be extended again to pass Disneyland. Maybe now they are independently modeling the courses.

Q2. Wasn't the R30 supposed to be a cheat code car that was supposed to be announced in the Future Lab blog? Along with a Nissan Leopard.

I am most excited for the new battle mode, looks like we are going to have oncoming traffic runs running on the reverse direction.

Yeah, this was unexpected at all!
I'm gonna have to get the 86 and BR-Z to complete one of my team project layouts. And oh boy, prepare your wallets, guys.

And we dont have MT4 yet D:
And i hear news of this. An extreme case of "Can't Catch Up"

And that's bad.. if they won't come to your place before the deadline.. welp.

a compromise would be like sharing the server with the indons.

Great, another game I probably won't get to play. I haven't even played DX.

So after closer inspection I discover what EXTREME Battle Mode is.

Image size reduced, original size: 1280 x 768. Click here to view the image in its original dimension.

The amount of mileage left to cover in the race is blocked from all players, so it is unknown how long will the race run, so maybe when the 'Don't Get Caught!' warning shows people are going to panic because the race is about to end and the leader will win the race in an unknown length of the finish line.

Also I think the course map will return to the game since 3DX+, to be positioned just aside the gear transmission indicator. The map will be blocked too, so no one can predict where the course layout will go.

And lastly, I think I nailed this one on my first guess, we will be having reverse courses in the game. You can now race around a two way highway in reverse, Western style (or maybe Filipino style ). The course depicted in the picture is Osaka, with the dome adjacent to the right hand side of the picture, instead of the left.
That barricade you see exists already in MT4 as a barricade to close off unused branches and ramps. You can easily catch one in Yaesu ramps, C1's JCT's, and definitely Osaka.

However it is unknown whether the AI traffic will become oncoming traffic in extreme battle, or will it be randomized, as what Extreme mode is all about.

To debunk:
1. No construction barriers (but would surely live up to the Extreme name)
2. No PA ramp option (but same reason as No. 1 about how cool it is)
3. No NBL dual ramp (an always left hand entrance to make it difficult, again Rule Of Cool here)
4. No SP bar, good riddance because we're just gonna burn all our money on some short battles.

Now we wait. In the mean time let's identify what the new course is, it can't be C2 when the text below it doesn't even say 'C2'.
