I came from your TXR Zero essay video... i'll be frank, i didn't know about the TXR games... but i have some curiousity and well... i have some interest in highway racing thanks to... Wangan Midnight anime and Digital Foundry video mention of TXR... i searched for some essays or retrospective, and yours was the first of many. After some more, i was convinced and gave TXR Zero a shot... and boy, it kicked me... but i'm hooked despite the beating i took from the AI that have an insane level of tunings and parts installed into their machines... well, i at least beat Jintei and White Charisma... Wanderer hunting... that take time and i barely have the time, so i gave up on it... all in all, i really feel missed out and kinda lamenting now that ITC is an X360 exclusive, with it being the last Shutokou battle game developed by Genki before the company closed doors... i wish they ported it to the PS3 too, but that didn't happen. The closest is Wangan Midnight for PS3 where Genki paid tribute to Shutokou Battle X by adding 10 racers from it to the game... and that's just sad... meaning they could do it, but didn't. You know, about TXR or SB (Shutokou Battle) since Tokyo Xtreme Racer name was "owned" by Crave as Genki's main Shutokou Battle western publisher at the PS2 time, then Konami with Street Supremacy and Ubisoft with Import Tuner Challenge. Kinda confusing to describe... where i'm going is, when it comes to TXR/SB lore... don't think too deeply about it. While it's cool with like "in TXR1 and TXR2 for the Dreamcast, we actually play as Jintei" to know, it doesn't matter who we actually play as since... we are the player. When it comes to Unknown and Zero... they are Wangan Midnight references since Genki also develop the Wangan Midnight games. I mean, look at TXR3 aka SB 01 and i'm not dissing it, just point things out... Zero got downgraded from driving the Porsche or RUF 964 to an AE82 and the game still claim it's the same Zero from the last 3 games... just odd and Unknown becoming a literal ghost that copy the player instead of driving the Devil Z aka S30Z. TXR3/SB 01 seemed not wanted to reference Wangan Midnight so much like they used to. In regards to Ground Zero from TXRD2, there's actually a team at the endgame with the leader literally driving a blue S30Z in reference or homage to Devil Z or Unknown in the Shutokou Battle universe... and it's kitted out with the license plate written "Death" on it. If you are planning for more video essays on the other TXR/Shutokou Battle games after Zero, wish you all the best and i look forward to it. Wish i could play Night Runners too... but that means i would have to sell off one of my kidney, probably cost an arm and a leg just to buy/have a PC rig that can run the game hahahaha... that joke aside, it's amazing that such a passion project in the making for years is being work on by a single person. That alone is such an admirable passionate legacy to pursue. All the best for the dev and keep the unapologetic embrace of the 2000's vibe you are going for, man.
@@TheDaeNIEL Nice! ty, btw do you know what happened to TXR discord? All the links I found don´t work and I would like to have the Tuning Settings Guide for TXR 0
"Subscribe button" *hit it* i'm humble that you pinned my long comment... but i editted it, and seem to lost it's status. Ah it doesn't matter, i look forward for your future essays... greetings for far eastern of the world, Indonesia.
What I think happens is every new protag of tokyo extreme is like...I gonna beat previous owner of devil z...then own by myself or something loke that It's devil z just probably changes owners ofhten...and saying black porsche is refference to wangan midnight is like saying that bmw e46 m3gtr in juiced is refference to most wanted Thats not where this originates from Blackbird was real 1 to 1 no questions asked He was driven in midnight club bot a game No idea was it really called black Bird but still Devil Z could take such inspirations as well Or was that Porsche took from reality to make us realize about scale of mennace what devil z is Either way black Bird is just fictional incarnation of real deal If Ginte was protag...he owned devil z at one point? If I was playing as ginte in txr 2 i was having girlfriend in hospital and was to buyssy to find time for her being to much into racing...crayzy part is it does soubds like me except girlfriend part

Tokyo Xtreme Racer is back
The challenge for TXR0 and essays idea sounds amazing! Would love to watch
Nice vid man, keep it up
actually they are mark ii
the chaser is only a traffic car
Loved the video - speaking of, what's the track ID at 3:47? it's on the tip of my tongue..
Track ID? The name of the song in the background is "Moemoemoe - reminiscence" if that's what you're asking
If the demo had customizable keybinds, I would try it again
They already added this a couple weeks ago

It's devil z just probably changes owners ofhten...and saying black porsche is refference to wangan midnight is like saying that bmw e46 m3gtr in juiced is refference to most wanted
Thats not where this originates from
Blackbird was real 1 to 1 no questions asked
He was driven in midnight club bot a game
No idea was it really called black Bird but still
Devil Z could take such inspirations as well
Or was that Porsche took from reality to make us realize about scale of mennace what devil z is
Either way black Bird is just fictional incarnation of real deal
If Ginte was protag...he owned devil z at one point?
If I was playing as ginte in txr 2 i was having girlfriend in hospital and was to buyssy to find time for her being to much into racing...crayzy part is it does soubds like me except girlfriend part
There is a mod for unlocking the remaining cars on Nexus mods
I already mentioned it in the video itself.
