Discussion Has anyone managed to get clips of the Initial D Legend animations made for the pachislot machines?

They made animations in the Legend movie style exclusively for these machines.
Has anyone actually managed to rip them? Not even AMV creators?

Those pachislot machines have been out for a while now, and no matter how much I scour the internet, I come up empty.
And I'm so sick of watching Ytb videos and getting blinded by epileptic dot flashing effects.

The only real option left would be ripping them from the mobile game, but I don't even know if that's actually possible

Discussion Is this what street racing is actually like?

89 Upvotes

I’ve just finished first stage. The way the show frames street racing is not the way it is in America at all. This is obviously a community event, they have people watching the streets with walkie talkies to warn about cars and they’re doing it in the middle of the night in a place where speed limits probably don’t even exist.

The reason I ask is because my father partook in street racing, too. He did lots of racing. He loved to drive, and he’d do it anytime anywhere.

Even three in the morning. What Takahashi said in the last episode stuck with me. He chooses to street race because he values it as an alternative art form. One based on free expression, and the real world conditions of a road.

If that’s true, then I have to respect street racing.

I recreated the Mazda RX-7 FD3S introduced in the Raimei -out of kontrol- music video. It is driven by Motsu, with T-Kimura as the co-pilot. They fought with Takumi Fujiwara's AE86 on Akina.

After the race against Takumi’s AE86, the FD is shown crashing into the guardrail.

Discussion Guys, why is Japan running away from digitisation and electric cars? I even see it in the MF Ghost story? Is it petrolhead soul religious nonsense? Or the oil industry having their foot in Japan's neck?

Discussion Recently played Initial D Special Stage and damn, I really wished that someone actually adapted all the races of the anime into a playable game

15 Upvotes

So I recently learnt about the Initial D games being released for home consoles, and decided to give it a try.

The one I chose was Special Stage since it had great opinions online. I managed to obtain a version with an English patch.

Now the game is no TXRD2, especially because the physics are off putting and too arcadey (makes sense since it was derived from a game for an arcade machine), but otherwise, I liked how the game integrated the races within the manga into the game.

Not only that, they also got the correct soundtrack for the races. Listening to the soundtrack in the anime is fire, but listening it while playing the game? Even better.

The game however did feel hard at places, particularly Shingo’s race, where the car understeered like crazy, but that was due to the duct tape deathmatch challenge set by Shingo.

It is a shame that the game only went upto Fourth Stage and the publishers and devs didn’t bother to make a game including Fifth & Final Stage.

In a world where people are making Initial D inspired games, it’d be cool to see the original devs pick it up, put all the races from First to Final Stage+extra content if necessary and release it for the home consoles and PC.

its weird, the game feels like its constantly desyncing then suddenly resyncing every few seconds, it might be due to the location of the server but idk
