Incase you haven't seen/ heard there is finally an Initial D game that can be played on western machines without a jap console

trailer:

game: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-49-en-70-2lx5.html (jap) (online play)

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-bp-49-en-70-2lx6.html (chinese) (no online play, english manual)

Anyway, my question is about the online play. Does anyone know if the online play works in Australia because i've seen a few videos of people in america being able to play online even though its not supposed to work outside of Japan. Not too keen on paying $15 extra for the online game when it doesn't even work.

Also, if you have the game, is it worth the money

how it works is that you WILL be able to play online but only with the japanese or chinese depending on what disk you buy, there is no region lock out on games for the ps3 but there is region segregation for online. i looked into this when trying to get MGS4 for a decent price through play asia.....

i might buy this game, although the constant japanese blabbering might get a little annoying

***thats stupid how you cant get the english manual with the jap version smh

I guess you havent read my post in the "Currently Playing"...

Japanese online play DEFINITELY works in Australia - my copy arrived yesterday and played it all all on my console and later in the day at my mate's house on his console. Neither me or my mates are Japanese but it didnt take long for us to navigate the menu with ease and 1/3 of the stuff is in english anyways.

The Japanese online version DOES NOT come with an English manual but you can get it online here: http://ps3mods.blogspot.com/2008/07/initia...ge-english.html

Your not missing out on anything important anyways if you dont get the English manual....

3/10? I didnt find it that bad! Only thing that annoyed me was every car being able to keep up with my modified R34 GTR :domokun: I find the controller better than the steering wheel at the arcades - its too sensitive at the arcade.

Though, I'm selling my copy of Initial D Extreme Stage - anyone wants it? Its the JDM version with the online play. As new condition only selling it to fund real mods - $70 pick up or plus $5 posted via registered.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
