wow! i can’t wait! i liked the TXR series, since i had a dreamcast way back. i thought i saw something on kaido battle being released here, but if it’s been rebadged, i dont care as long as i get my hands on it. 😃 what’s with the paper 2D rims in GT4? if the guys who made TXR could make chrome 3D rims, why can’t polyphony? ---

The wheels in GT4 are bump mapped and alpha channeled, same with the wheels in TXR. However the ones in TXR are a higher polygon count then GT, PS2 can handle X nubmer of poly transofrms /sec GT4 hit that limit easily. TRX did not becuse thier are only two cars racing and you’ll notice the minivans are all pretty much a 35 polygon model. So Genki could incresed the poly count on the players car because thier are way less polygons per second to render and transform per sec. Also I still think this is the KB2: touge not KB3 as KB3 is for the PS3… ---

Drift Racer: Kadio Battle was supposed to be released for PS2 in 2004, but it got shelved. this totally looks like a rebadge of the same game.

sorry to bring back a dead thread, but rather than make a new one, i thought i’d post it here. i went into EBgames to check on release date back in january, and they said the unofficial date is feb 23, so i reserved a copy. on feb 13th websites announced the official release as march 13 or 14. whenever it comes, EB will call and tell me it’s in. 😃 ---

yeah TOCA 3 was the 21st., and Kiado battle is mach 13-14th from what I’ve read… also this is a Genki/crave game… along with the Kaido battle/TXR series… ‘Drift’ was being made by a US based company, they sited the $20 relelase of the Genki/crave title as the reason to shelve thier full priced title. Don’t expect to see it. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/omg-excited-yes-txr-drift-for-ps2/91671.md?page=1)
