well.. cause i frequent IOI,timesSQ or Sg Wang. So I won't really know about the new machines until it arrives at those places or i read it in the forums.

Yeah.. planned FD for my 1st virgin Ver.4 car . ahah.. like the previous versions, the rx-7 should be able to last long and remain in the top 5 car rankings.

My friend, ID kaki, told me TimeSquare arcade will get Ver.4 soon. That was few weeks ago.

I play Battle Gear 4 exclusively from time to time. Average player.

2 in gurney, 2 in queensbay, 2 in butterworth.. If the other forum is correct.

Got news that Times Square has the machines already and it's newer version that Sunway or Cheras leisure mall. So your time attack will be erased and dunno what other stuff will change. Some ver 1.1 upgrade it seems.

------------------
Hoho.. ytd nite 1st time on the IDAS ver.4 game. Spent Rm 78 sweat.gif in total to play and get a card. man.. this is expensive. cry.gif Did a few in store battles as well but too bad, if you win you won't get a free continue. completed LOTS myogi cause its a peculiar track.

Too busy looking at the new screens that I forgot the timer to select car doh.gif . So end up buying the new Subaru GDBF! haha. Later in the game.. timer 30 seconds to pick and choose which rims you want to change. Really pressure to select 1 out of the 14 choices there, see the timer counting down. haih..

The machine overall is nice.Love the widescreen! 2 coin slots top and side, more cushion on the seats and hopefully no more lower back bruises I got from ver.3 machine. Like your portrait on the card (miss the nice pictures of the old though). Tuning is so much better that the old, with so many options to choose even if you just played a few rounds. Like the new details on the track. Akina lake looks nice, haha.. feel bad speeding in town as you pass shops and buildings on the side. I noticed a small red shrine on iro, so you might want to stop at the side and pray for good luck wink.gif

The speed of the game is more like ver.2, faster and abit more insane than ver.3.

huh?? rclxub.gif
Blur doing 1st few run. Really confused trying to take corners and preoccupied trying to soak in the new graphics, new gear lever position. I'd swear i tried to change gears but grabbed only air a few times only to realize the shifter is placed lower, more like a real car.

Worst thing is the random loss of grip particularly on Myogi with those long sweeping corners. Suddenly while taking a corner, your car feels like it hit something on the road and you understeer and slide out. I thought i hit the sides initially, but then the same thing happened while I am clearly on the center of the road. I asked a few other ppl there, Evo IX, DC2 all faced this same thing. I tried to lift off accel when it happens, helps abit as the car regains grip faster. Tried braking and the car abruptly oversteers or suddenly twitches into a different direction. Hmm.. Subaru would be sued if their real cars had this problem. hmm.gif have to find out a solution, otherwise this is bad for battles.

I can understand abit about the car losing speed going up hill, but it feels the same going down hill and the car can also lose speed in the flat straights. New car, so i do wonder if Sega purposely cacat the stock cars so that there is a clear different between a full tune and stock.

It's now easier to overtake compared to v3. The following car seems to built huge boost. I won a few battles by giving the lead to the other car in the 3rd checkpoint to built up boost and then overpower them by a big distance in the last cp. I also lost a few cause as I was leading from the 3rd cp and on the final straights, the back car just whizzed past me like I was standing still, even if i tried hard to block.

Irohazara, I dunno whether to call it a joke or finesse..mindless roller coaster ride . Me and others watching laughed when kai's mr2 crashed with a players's evo in mid air! hahaa. Sparks flying around. tongue.gif

Overall fun game. Relearn many things and can throw away some you learnt from v3.

Not a big fan of the Initial D arcade game, but I have a overall general interest in cars ...

Found this off a jap car site:

That is Initial D Arcade Version/Stage 4 Limited

Sega took the chassis of a real GT-APEX AE86, RX-7 (FD3S) Type R and WRX (GC8/22B) Type R STi Version V, removed their engines and setup a 90" display complete with tilt just for flagship arcade, Joypolis, Tokyo.

Thats pretty awesome, but I'm pretty peeved that they had to gut a 22B just for it. There's only less than 425 of those cars ever made = \

About the oversteer thing, gas off before it happen. Also when you oversteer/hit wall you lose speed/acceleration. When that happen you do "Penalty Cancel", Gas off -> Brake -> Gas again. This will reset the acceleration.

You cannot continue after won a battle because it was set by the arcade owner (machine still new, more profit needed).

As for car ranking, http://initial-d.info/perf/v4/

When WMMT3 gonna be here ?

yea. Since ver.3, I check up pretty often on
http://www.initial-d.com/forums/

and

http://www.idforums.net/

Now with the Skyline BNR32 [3-2-2-1-1]

Penalty cancel is ok for me actually. Cause I drive a manual car in real life, so it's like a faster release of the clutch pedal. Due to this, I', now starting to use left foot braking in this game.

But can't play so often. still expensive.


Added on September 12, 2007, 12:31 pmFT skyline at 7-7-7-7-7. Now tuning the FD3S at 4-4-3-1-4


Pic of my ver.4 card. the face portrait on the card reflects the changes you do to the one on the screen. Haha.. just noticed the change of the avatar pic.

Went to Mid Valley arcade today.
It seems like more people prefer Wangan Midnight over ID4.
What gives? Heard ID4 got really difficult to play now.
