Initial D Extreme PS3
 

Just wondering if anyone knows if I can get this game locally around here. I'm looking for the Japanese version since it has online play. If I can't get one locally I can always order it online.

I figure since the ps3 is region free, this and a g25 wheel would be an awesome combo to kick with some friends and beers! I know it's all in Japanese but people have translated everything in the game so its easy to get through the menu's and what everything means.

Thanks in advance.

have you tried places in richmond, a lot of them carry japanese ps3 games

Do you know which shops I could try TSE?

not exactly too sure
but try aberdeen and the asian malls around it

never knew there is a Initial D game for ps3

let me know the place if u do get it, i want a copy as well

:)

msg shuya80...
he has a copy kickin around..
and he played it once..and that was it..aha

I got mine from dealextreme.com for about $50cnd back in January when the exchange rate sucked. Free shipping and it took 1.5weeks to arrive from HK. Tho this is the asia version meaning no online play. I dont think ill be playing online anyway and plus i think you need to have a jap psn account or something like that to play the jap version with online play.

If you want the Jap version, it'll cost you more. Try playasia.com or something and check out their price. I think its higher than dealextreme.

shuya80's is japanese
becuz i got it for him from there
yes u need a JP PSN account..its free..u can make one

Thanks Darth, I msged him.

Yeah I found a few, I'm willing to pay for it but I wasn't sure if there were extra border charges or anything like that. Japan-video games.com, play-asia and all them have it in stock.

how much do they go for anyways?

and is online play worth the extra money?

^cheapest i've seen right now on ebay is $40 for asian version and around $55 for jap version..

is this game actually any fun? or crap reviews

This will really depend on how you see the Initial D franchise, after playing the arcade series RELIGIOUSLY for 10years, the 4th one was dissapointing, the "gods" of the game will always be "gods" and thus if you were to beat their times, tough luck. The random online battles are good, but the game is very "technical" and there is ALOT to learn to get good, where as GT5 is a simulator.

to this day, i still hold the fastest AKINA DH time in vancouver..its been two years..
ahhahahahahaha

so where can i buy one boys and girls


:)

cheapest is ebay right now

this game was quite shitty.... but damn addicting for some reason...

long load times, poor car physics, i mean, why the fuck does it takes a STI 0-100 9 seconds!!! every car drove pretty much the same. AI was fixed and cheats, no matter how far u are ahead, they will catch up to you in the predefined sections of the road. the game had no console specific features.

the only thing good about the game was that its was a very direct port of stage 4 from the arcades. with the G25, it felt the exact same as the arcade minus putting quarters in the machine. if this game was to compared with Wangan Midnight for PS3... then I'd have to say Initial D is a MUCH better game LOL

now if only they have MT 3 DX port to xbox live and PSN.... that would be sweet

Initial D forever
done
