February 29, 2008 - If you love to street race while blasting J-pop anime music, you're going to have to get yourself a PS3. The latest issue of Famitsu has a first look at Initial D Extreme Stage, a PS3 version of the Japanese racer that's known in arcades as Initial D Arcade Stage 4.

In addition to a visual update, the big new feature for the home is an online racing mode. Similar to the arcade version's "National Tournament" mode, players can rise in class by beating other racers and gain access to even tougher opponent classes.

The arcade version also let online players customize their characters. Sega hasn't announced this for the home version yet, but it sounds like a likely feature to us!

Solo drivers can look forward to an updated version of the arcade's single player mode, Koudou Saisoku Densetsu (this name translates to something along the lines of "Legend of the Fastest on the Road"). Over 20 rivals will appear in this story mode, which uses the PS3 for high quality shading.

Initial D hits Japan this Summer. An international release has yet to be announced.

tats how its gonna look
but for initial D, it aint abt the graphics, its abt the gameplay

initial d on the psp sucks big time

its quite fun, i'm able to go drifting in most of the corners with no prob on the psp

for candlejack regarding to DjiNn :-

what is tha`matter with u candlejack...for me DjiNn done a good job for the gaming industry...why did he sell originals cause we all not supported piracy...because of the piracy , there is almost non of the consoles launched in malaysia itself....i mean official once.

u ask how many people bought original games? there`s a lot gamers around here bought ori , not only games but ori console`s too..here i want to congrats DjiNn cause he had what a wonderfull gameshop...i like it...feel like hari-hari wanna lepak at his shop...even my mum also like the shop.
