PLEASE LET THERE BE AN ENGLISH RELEASE AND I'LL GLADLY RETURN. IF NOT, f**k YOU SEGA.

According to the news page here's what I deduce from the ID8 infinite announcement.

Legend of the Street "Reborn"

- take Takumi's role and become the hero until (asusmption) you face takumi at the end of every "stage" (end of first stage story, etc.). If you followed the manga/anime plot, you're pretty much set as to what to do on each stage (they only exposed scenes from 1st stage so I could be wrong)

GUI/HUD DECOR
- so titles. such original. very new. much LIKE IN MAXI4's TACHOMETER selection. wow. Other than the paper cup from ID3 returning; I can see where this is going...

"D Coin"
- is it me or is initial D literally copying what Maxi 5 is getting? WOW. SOOOOOOO ORIGINAL.

-----------

They're new but honestly; I'm disappointed - it's as if Sega's running out of ideas and imitating Namco Bandai.

I don't really know if I still want to keep on playing ID or not...... 7 AAX is already as difficult as it is.

As for the D coins, I believe it is just the same mechanics as in IDAS4 and above. Just that they wanted to give it a name instead of just simply calling it "points" or "credits."

If anything, BaNam copied them with the Maxi Coins for MT5, what with us being able to just go farm for what we need instead of unlocking everything.

I would play again if they revert the physics back to IDAS5 (slowing down to 2nd or 3rd before every corner made sense, so does gripping through almost all corners). If not that, then at least improve upon the current physics, whatever they may be.
And also? Local servers please... I mean come on! Every since IDAS5 took off, not many people are playing because we don't have stuff of our own. It's always centered around Japan, it's no surprise that the Export versions were neglected (although I did like the idea of "no card life" for 5).

Actually card life reflects online use. You can use it offline anytime but you have to charge more just to work it again online.

The EXP versions offline don't put the card life limit.

13K tachometer... it's the AE86T; a pure give away; but at least gives an idea on the new physics.

Kyehehe~

My body...is READY for this! >;D

Also, it seems we have the pleasure to make Iketani-senpai faint and learn to be as UNREALISTICALLY OP as Takumi by drifting through courses while try not to spill the water in the cup.





And I just noticed...

You won't be able to see your rival's ADVANTAGE from here on.

And Gunma, before you pass judgment about Initial D rippin' off WMMT, let me elaborate as I understand Japanese more.

D Coins apparently - are real life money currency in exchange for insufficient tuning points in assisting to full tune a car faster (Think of it as Cash points or Riot Points from League of Legends). And you can keep top upping the coins as many times as you like until you FT a car like this video from Angelmix.

Skip to 4:50 and watch how it works.

The advantage thing is actually shown on the lower left corner, you may notice it is just placed above the map

by the way, you can now select your carplate..

but the fast pace really impress me

ps. the D coin is just too stupid I think

Ooh, thanks for pointin' out.

And lol, the D Coin is just for convenience in time-saving for FT a car since it's definitely a step up from playing 1 game per tune.

it is convenient ONLY if you properly use it...say in the Garage page...

but in HK, if one gonna stick on one machine for quite a long time, he would be condemned

also it does take a long time for you to familiarize your car, certainly you can literally FT it on your first go, but it would turn out to be meaningless

meh...i'd rather see a IDAS 5 semi-realistic driving instead of dorisha-ing in all corners like 4,6 and 7?

sorry more lives will be ruin, this is why i might now play this

This!
+90000!!!

I assume the highiest rank for ID is X X X ?

Come on, it's BOUND to happen. Jokes like this sound be easy to come up with.

Jokes, I love ID series, never got to play 6 or 7,
4/ES was baddddd.
3 and 5 IS GOOOOOD.

RinStar, On the Journey to reach X X X rank.

Last week SEGA has shown IDAS8 at Japan Amusement Expo 2014 (JAEPO). There are plenty of new info and pictures HERE.

New Rivals Silhouettes.

Atsurou Kawai, Tohru Tsugetsu, Miki-sempai

F***ING CALLED IT.
BTW, Their definition of new: Taken out and added back :v

New car? more like recycled car:
Toyota Celica ST205 GT-Four returns.

wondering if they will also add S14A from IDAS 2,3

If they add it, that would be great

The CS14?

I doubt it. The car didn't even have a corresponding character.

And it doesn't fall on the same book as the E10/new Impreza/GTR35/86GT/tuned cars which are all fanservice cars.

Try MT where they've added Chevy just to attract ADM fans from Japan, and the RGT for EDM exotic fans, with one hardly having anything to do with MT. Even the new MT5 cars like the Ruf's 991, Toyobaru, Skyline RS-X, and Galant. It's just variety and attraction. Fan service is one thing Initial D has done, but they gotta add more. They even miss out on the ER34 to return, one of my favourite models in the IDAS series. They can return the CS14. But it's up to SEGA's mismanagement in the end.

Actually the new chevys and the new RuFs ARE fanservice. Even the Toyobaru.
The old Chevy's canon - it did mention Kitami working on muscle cars back in the day (and probably the new camaro is the modern interpretation of that). The RK maybe the modern interpretation of Yamamoto mentioning the Porsche Boxster (the RK's base model) in the ZERO for the roads story so it falls also on the same line as the camaro. And maybe even same case with the RGT. Galants are pretty rampant as traffic cars in other installments so that one is easy. DR30 may fall on the same line as during the Hako's era and maybe one of the models Kitami worked on too.

I'm also surprised they didn't mention the ER34.

inb4 they give Kawai a GT-R with the ER34 aero.

im going back to playing id3 for my id fix

*Desperate attempt at reviving this*

Any news of this for the Philippines? I don't seem to see any topic about a Philippine location over at idforums
