Huh, didn't realize Gematsu wrote it like that. Probably it just means a proper game, not a mobile game.

So is it only coming to PC? Who TF wrote that article? Confusing everyone in two lines of text, gg.

[Davevil]

Initial D was better

Could it mean it is a home console game not a port of an arcade cabinet game?

They should just port Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6RR+ to PC and call it a day. Instead of having to play on Teknoparrot, I would love to play an official release. I would say the only difference is the open highways versus closed highway portions of this. If Koshiro does the music, then insta-buy day 1.

As Genki helped with some assets back in the current Namco's propietary engine for WMMT (which has been used since WMMT4), I wouldn't be surprised if it's super close to WMMT.

Also fuck Initial D. Hakone-style mountain racing has been now seen to oblivion. The only good thing in ID was the original manga/anime.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Cautiously hyped. This was a great series.

 

[ShirAhava]

Day Zero

SB 94' was sooo ahead of its time

 

[Holammer]

Genki released a puzzle game on Steam just a month ago. Glad to see them active as a developer again, even if I'm not a fan of the racing stuff.

 

[RoboFu]

Sooo... this is a port of the Dreamcast game?

 

[nikos]

I CAN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY!
IT'S BEEN 84 FUCKING YEARS!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES EVER!
#1 MOST ANTICIPATED GAME RIGHT NOW! FUCK GTA VI !!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, it’s a new entry in the series

 

[trikster40]

Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero is one of my favorites!

Silly gamer, just get a PC!

 

[64bitmodels]

Cool! I heard this was one of the more beloved series so nice to see it back.

Sega should be taking serious notes

 

[Alexios]

Noice, hope it's awesome. Needs some drifting like Drift King '97.

Anyone else notice that in Tokyo Xtreme Racer the passing lights affect the cars in races but in Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 they only do so in the replays? At least I don't think that's an emulation flaw. Maybe a bug in the game? Kinda makes no sense.​

 

[lem0n]

It's been almost 2 decades. Please Genki. Please do it right. This is the most hyped I've been for a game in ages!

 

[coffinbirth]

 

[muno]

I am so hyped. TXR is my favorite racing series. I can't believe this is happening after 18 years.

Also, it seems that the TXR announcement spawned some other indie takes on the genre. We are so back. 2025 is the year of highway racing!

 

[BennyBlanco]

i just noticed Genki also dropped whatever the hell this is on steam last month. weird.

 

[Parazels]

Another reminder how many 90s hits are still missing on the modern consoles.

This game was magic on Dreamcast.

 

[Senua]

Fucking fuck yes

 

[s_mirage]

Oh yes! One of my all time favourite racing series!

 

[f~N_CH_1:3:3:3_SushiBoat]

Fuck yes. Loved playing this series on DC.

 

[Crayon]

idk if I ever loved txr but I certainly appreciated it. Played plenty when I was younger jdm nut hanger. Now that I'm an older jdm nut hanger I can afford speeding tickets.

 

[BigDaddyCool]

I sunk so much time into TXR on Dreamcast. This is a great surprise.

 

[SportsFan581]

Looks interesting if it has a throwback vibe, they don't give you much to go on there.

 

[kevboard]

I really hope they go all in on customisation in this and have Devs working there that are familiar with the japanese car scene.

they could make a really cool RPG-lite campaign here if they do it right.

 

[Puscifer]

 

[Makki]

We literally just had a thread begging for this…. THERE IS A GOD!!!

 

[Fafalada]

Maybe a bug in the game? Kinda makes no sense.​

More local light sources was quite a bit more costly to compute on older consoles - it could also be an optimization.
Hard to tell just by looking though, and TXR games did use to be made on pretty short time-frames.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I have so many hours in Tokyo Xtreme Racer 0 and 3.

The games are a vibe, and I'm excited for this. Assuming it doesn't look like shit I'm there day 1.

Day 1

 

[Icymanipulator]

I played the ever loving shit out of Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero back in the day.

I remember having to change the PS2s internal clock to different times to get rivals to show up. lol good times.

 

[Esppiral]

With all this revivals as of lately, it seems like a 2nd Dreamcast era.

 

[Senua]

Playing through TXR3 cos this announcement got me hyped, fucking love the loop of these games so much.
