Build a Formula D car - F&F game

Heres a small bit of it

We have spent a considerable amount of time working in both the automotive and videogame worlds, and in that time we have learned two very profound truths:

  1. Most movie-based games are nothing more than poorly-designed pieces of software whose sole purpose of existing is to generate more dollars for shallow and soulless multinational media conglomerates.

  2. Universal’s Fast and Furious movie franchise is a joke amongst the import tuning/enthusiast community.

So with those two truths in mind, one can imagine the struggle NamcoBandai faces with its upcoming PS2 racer based on the third Fast and Furious film. Most people out there are likely thinking that The Fast and the Furious is nothing more than a crappy street racing game based on a crappy street racing movie. We know that’s what we thought when we first heard that a F&F: Tokyo Drift-based game was in development.

However, the third F&F movie actually did a good job of capturing the tuning and drift scenes. Furthermore, we’ve actually spent some time with the F&F game, and it seems more like a love letter to the JDM scene than it does a Fast and Furious game. We wanted to find out more about Fast and Furious: The Home Version, so we asked F&F producer Mitch Boyer to spill the goods on its Japan-based racer. Mitch likes to talk about this game – a lot. So be prepared to read, kids!

oh snap … I have been trying to find a game like this for US PS2 … D1GP is nowhere to be found in stores …

3

i have a caopy of d1gp -_-

4

thats basically a Forza rip-off for customization… but I’ll judge the game on physics and gameplay… :drinkers:

5

Werd.

6

CAn’t wait, better come out for xbox, or else i’ll have to steal one of your guys.

7

is this out now?

8

kaido battle drift was pretty fun

9

kaido battle … hmm … the handling and such were way off and I didnt like any of them

10

D1GP is available at Gateway Games, it’s right beside Hudson Bar and Tap House, I wanna’ play that F&F game, Namco Bandai has always made good games and done relatively well crossing over simulation and arcade style gameplay.

11

well kaido battle and tokyo extrteme racing drift are pretty much the same game just a fyi.

12

if you want a fun drift game for xbox, just play forza… we had some killer drift setups on that game

13

Sleepy eyes in a game??? I may have to take back everything I was thinking about this game!

14

Im playing this and its actually alright. I got a 180sx as a first car. but the game reminds me a lot like i think it was street racing syndicate or was it need for speed where in single player mode you can drive around the city to hot spots etc.

but i still think tokyo extreme racer series is the best out there

15

You can drive around in both Street racing syndicate and NFSU:2. I migth rent this to give it a try, but I think I am goign to stick to GT4 and ToCa Race Driver 3. All this figure skating just makes me want a RWD car :stuck_out_tongue:

16

hahaha the 180sx has koukis. sweet.

17

I think D1 is a better drift game then this

18

why is there no drift games for pc.

:?

19

yeah there is … look for Initial D dude …

You could also run a emulator on your computer and play the PS2/Xbox games with your computer. :?
