@@davidmills4first, Beck Kustoms is basically Ford Model T with wacky ass bodywork, second these guys are basically an AA support studio at best whose has a lot of good old friends whose did all the negotiations with various Japanese aftermarket brands & cars TL;DR licnesing them non-Japanese cars are out of their reach especially for an ex-support studio like them whose hasn't made anything in like 18 years
This interface looks very very similar to Fast Beat Loop Racer GT for PC. Oh one other thing it's similar to, in the animations is Night Runners Prologue for PC, another early access title.
except its the reminiscence of wangan midnight r which is the first game, i think this is the ultimate version genki always try to achieve, sadly Namco says we otherwise and screwed the midnight series
Lol, after 18 years, it appears that Crimson Kid has gone from late-game boss to picking on rookies with a single day of experience. I hope the remaining Phatom9 members can put more of a challenge.
I remember playing TXR 3 on PS2 and I loved it. Compared to NFSU2, there are a lot of features it didn't have, but what it did have, it did right. Glad to see it hasn't changed much. Even the music is reminiscent of what I remember. I don't see a temperature gauge though; I remember in TXR3, your car could overheat. If this comes out on Series X/S, I will get it.
I hope they dial up the difficulty in the final release and it's not like the last game ITC where I 100% it while barely having to pay attention to the road.
I used to play an old psp game by genki when i was real small. went by street supremacy. years later they release this, looks so much like street supremacy. cant believe it.
I recommend buying it now because when early access is over, you can get the full game at no cost the game has a bit over half the progress to unlock, plenty of stuff to do and your feedback can definitely make a difference it's all Genki wants, feedback to make it a better game for everyone
@@TheCommandant-wb9tv no no, what I mean is that when it gets fully released, it'll be a bit more expensive, due to the rest of the content being added buying the early access means that when it gets released as a full title you can, like, upgrade it to the full game
@@chief117s15 if you don't get what the game is about, it's not necessary to hate on it this is just like the previous games of TXR/shutoko battle play txr zero for the ps2 with patience and you'll see what you're missing out early access means they can make it work for all the audiences, just let them cook, give it a chance
You probably won't be able to appreciate what a game this was if you weren't around at launch. It was stunning at the time and had mountains of character. Yes the handling was a bit poor but the gameplay is understood once you try it. Progression was done perfect too. But extreme racer 2 had better soundtrack. We need more remakes like this of older games. Not all will hit with everyone however
I'm happy you guys feel the nostalgia! I never heard of that game and will consequently not appreciate. But i know the feeling of a loved game being remaked, if that is what the case is here.
the game is alright I guess, engine sounds makes me fall asleep and the rivals name are goofy as hell lmao. But cruising in this game is gonna be fun once the whole map is unlocked
I honestly don't get the hype. The game looks ok, the audio is crap, especially the engines, and the gameplay is an absolute snoozefest. Nightrunners absolutely blows this out of the water.
I get it, that's kind of the thing with TXR. You either get sucked in the gameplay loop and grind and you have a good time, or you don't and it gets boring fast. I personally love it but I totally get why some might find it way too repetitive.
This is what the gamers want. Even Early Access already this good. Hope no online mode only in this game and I sold. Imagine just to go online to play single player mode smh.

You think they added the beck kustoms roadster?
didn't knew you're into TXR too ISAD, now, I'm eager to see how you stack up with keyboards

It's just cool game 🎮🎯
@@adlibbed2138 was just askin'
Seeing C1 is bringing back fond memories of when I used to play Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune in the Arcade during lunch break in HS XD
ISAD: engine goes bbbrrrrrrrr...........
Tires: i'm tired, boss!
ISAD: Well that's too damn bad!!
This is how you do series comeback. Take note most AAA games nowadays.
you and those scary ass keybinds of yours, like they're not insane but it's always the players with the unorthodox binds that are WAY good
Great timing. I was just re-watching Initial D on Prime Video
I play this game on Dreamcast what a nostalgia
Watching this to calm myself after TXR 2025 has been delayed in Canada.
Heyyy, you enjoy the professionals content and txr? You sound like a pretty cool guy ♥️
yeah, looks like an ongoing trademark dispute according to their english twitter account
Watching to calm myself because I delayed building my pc and selling my console…never buying consoles ever again.
The dynamics and aesthetics of this game remind me a lot of the fast and the furious: Tokyo drift on PS2, I love it.
Same devs
Dude just challenged a delivery van and yo didn’t back down
I got smoked twice by a taxi and Ive never felt more humiliated in my life LMFAO
great start to this year
5:56It's her! Mitsue Hayashibara, one of the legendary former The 4 Devas female BOSS.
We are so fucking back.
This interface looks very very similar to Fast Beat Loop Racer GT for PC.
Oh one other thing it's similar to, in the animations is Night Runners Prologue for PC, another early access title.
This is just as simple as previous TXR games. Nothing fancy
ayyyy it's the "My Sister Was Gate gRaped" dude !
only OGs remember that name.
It's like wangan Midnight tune 😊
except its the reminiscence of wangan midnight r which is the first game, i think this is the ultimate version genki always try to achieve, sadly Namco says we otherwise and screwed the midnight series
it makes sense once you realize genki took part in creating the first two WMMT games
CERTIFIED GENKI MOMENT
I just bought this game a while ago. Loving it so far. Better than all the AAA slop that's been coming out since the last decade.
the bgm is also nostalgic especially the bgm of garage is from txr 3 and aero is from the first txr. well played genki
Absolutely one of my favorite childhood racing games of all times. Good to see it making a return. Def gonna get it
Racing games are back, baby! As in, the classic style of racing games. With all that lovely freedom of travelling the open road, like it's a dream!
Original music is back too! 🔥
Now, the legend is back
Oh man!!! 😯😯😯

Damn, Happy Chappy left his Job and married life for Street Racing
Fineee... I'll rewatch Wangan Midnight
Wangan midnight vibe ❤
it's so easy now, i remember it being more challenging. does bring back some great memories though, that's undeniable
I hope they dial up the difficulty in the final release and it's not like the last game ITC where I 100% it while barely having to pay attention to the road.
Hopefully we have the chance to drive traffic cars in the future
Whats your opinion on the game so far ISAD?
As soon as it arrives on the Xbox. Day one purchase!
Sadly us Canadian did not got the early access due to legal issue.
Fellow Canadian here, just use my JP account to get the early access now.
Maaaaaan i hope they release this on consoles
Wow I haven't seen the Genki logo since jade cocoon.
7:23 boing boing boing boing
oh yes Takumi in Wangan Midnight be like.
They should release it on consoles as long as it’s not switch
This game has the potential to work on Switch. This game is greatly optimized.
later this year they would release it on consoles after the 4 months of early access
i know its gonna be more about JDMs, but i hope they have the japanese supercar trio of NSX, R35 and LFA.
Previous entries had Nsx, R34, Porsche, Viper, and Corvette so R35 and LFA don't seem ridiculous to include.
@@ittylink i meant the modern NSX but still thats interesting, i didnt knew the series and thought it was about JDMs only
Next challenge upgrade cars and battle race ☺️ good luck 🤞
10:17 you can challenge a family van? that is intetesting. 😁🤔
You can also challenge a truck. A big, business truck at that.
Yes. Van, regular cars, taxis, truck. Not just rivals. It feels like Racing Lagoon back then.
@@KikuraKunsomeone's managed to challenge a taxi car, so it's a win win
@@Motoya_Jintei yes and because of this you no longer have to drive halfway down the Bayshore Line/Wangan to get to your next rival.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!
When is this game coming out?
跟街機灣岸賽車一樣玩法，這游戲比較耐玩
nothing better than an AE86 as a first car
I can only assume if gt7 comes out for Pc You’ll be on it
How come i cant access the store page im in canada?
law problems or so from what I have seen in their official Twitter account
That’s actually the exact reason u can’t
Ur Canadian 💀🤣
Finally a nice classic racing game in 2025, we are so back!!
oh my fukin god i wanna play this on ps5!!!!!
GOTY 2025!!!
Release it on consoles
Looks good... but whats with those controls man.?
nice! :O
Initial D 👏🏾
Where is this game?
On steam
I WAS HERE
I used to play an old psp game by genki when i was real small. went by street supremacy. years later they release this, looks so much like street supremacy. cant believe it.
Street Supremacy's Team Rumble mode was really good, it lends itself really well to portable play
i really like how the game is looking, but i just don't like early access. will defo pick this up at full release.
I recommend buying it now because when early access is over, you can get the full game at no cost
the game has a bit over half the progress to unlock, plenty of stuff to do and your feedback can definitely make a difference
it's all Genki wants, feedback to make it a better game for everyone
@@ReinafromTekken8what do you mean? Whether you buy it now or buy it later it will be same cost of buying the game??
@@TheCommandant-wb9tv no no, what I mean is that when it gets fully released, it'll be a bit more expensive, due to the rest of the content being added
buying the early access means that when it gets released as a full title you can, like, upgrade it to the full game
@@TheCommandant-wb9tv I think they meant you'll pay full price on release. Getting it now means you'll pay a bit less.
remind wangan
I have to say, their translation/localization needs more work. I mean, midnight cinderella sounds better than cinderella past midnight.
why i had a feeling, if they manage to mod this game and making truck driver run 400kmh
Cars sound like a food mixer and it looks as dull as dishwater.
Because the developer doesn't has big budget 💀
Is there a cockpit view?
No
Sadly no Genki didn’t have a big enough budget to recreate Cockpit views unlike Import Tuner Challenge what released 18 years ago.
This is super cool when is it out?!?!
Early access is out on pc
Wangan midnight without anime Characters
In txr 3, they literally have aura at points 😭
You say that, however there's literally one Wanderer in this game that is basically an anime character, based on their previous game. Devil Road Run.
@@BlackRockStellahell, in the past games sans TXR3, they even had the titular Devil Z itself as the secret final boss
It's Like NFS UnderGround !! Great :)
The original came Long before NFS underground.
@@iprodigy6723 oh ok, i didn't know about that
Not even close. Underground had actual racing. Not... this...
@@chief117s15 if you don't get what the game is about, it's not necessary to hate on it
this is just like the previous games of TXR/shutoko battle
play txr zero for the ps2 with patience and you'll see what you're missing out
early access means they can make it work for all the audiences, just let them cook, give it a chance
god i hope they add other battle music idk if i can take the same song over and over
it looks great but i feel the the graphics couldve stood out more
It's early access
@@davidmills4 oh i didnt know that
CONSOLE WHEN
KANSAI DORIFUTO !?
Finally, Night Runners revived the once great franchise.
hoping this will come also to console :)
Hi
is this game keyboard friendly? i dont have a wheel :C
Yes it is playable with keyboard
Really very nice visually.
But the feeling of speed is not great it's soft.
I prefer in the same kind of car racing on Japanese highways WMMT
Looks like its 100 km/h but its actually mph... There is no sense of speed at all.
Untrue and based asf
@@AkiRalcolf it's my opinion dude... It just looks slow to me...
What did i just watch
31 years of Greatness revived from the dead.
Peak.
You probably won't be able to appreciate what a game this was if you weren't around at launch. It was stunning at the time and had mountains of character. Yes the handling was a bit poor but the gameplay is understood once you try it. Progression was done perfect too. But extreme racer 2 had better soundtrack.

I'm happy you guys feel the nostalgia! I never heard of that game and will consequently not appreciate. But i know the feeling of a loved game being remaked, if that is what the case is here.
@@Luce819unlike TDUSC, this is how to revive a dormant racing game franchise from the dead the love & care it deserves
2025? Really Tokyo?
Sheesh, game older than me bruh.
the game is alright I guess, engine sounds makes me fall asleep and the rivals name are goofy as hell lmao. But cruising in this game is gonna be fun once the whole map is unlocked
Ok American lol
@@NostalgicRemedyNah as an American myself I love games like this. Same with many other car brands
First
I honestly don't get the hype. The game looks ok, the audio is crap, especially the engines, and the gameplay is an absolute snoozefest. Nightrunners absolutely blows this out of the water.
unfortunately car physics looks awful. even worse than 20 years old arcade racing games.
They won't change it. It's perfect for this game, even since the devs worked on WMMT.
It is more on the grippier side since it is meant to be a arcade game
Handling looks awful.
It's better than Night-Runners' jank handling model, to say the least.
Looks like WASD Handling
That always looks trash
@@CodyDBuni wdym?? night runners has great handling
Honestly, I was excited about the game, but it seemed boring
Played for 30 minutes and ngl it is kinda boring. The map is huge though so when you unlock more roads it's probably gonna be fun
I get it, that's kind of the thing with TXR. You either get sucked in the gameplay loop and grind and you have a good time, or you don't and it gets boring fast. I personally love it but I totally get why some might find it way too repetitive.
Looks like America's daily commute to work racing. Nothing exciting
found the normie
US slop
@@adlibbed2138 drifting optional
Damaged brain I see
Respect to anyone that can play this for 15min straight or more. This looks like the most boring racegame ever.
People already played it for 20 hours the game is better then Forza at least
This is what the gamers want. Even Early Access already this good. Hope no online mode only in this game and I sold. Imagine just to go online to play single player mode smh.
needs more fireworks and advisors screaming in my ear and more brightly colored hyper cars thrown at my face and more buggies to jump canyons with and
@@acrazyguy14and empty wastelands, don't forget those.
@ yes! very important.
