I hate how I don't get the reference. It still made me laugh though xD I friggin swear if it's what i think it is (still not sure if ik right but not saying anything just incase it's embarrisingly wrong)
@@NeverMetTheGuy I have Initial D Arcade Stage 8 running in an emulator on my PC. There's videos on RUclips on how to make it work. I think there's also translation mods since the games are legally only available in Japan, but I haven't gotten them to work. They are pretty fun and feature the iconic moves from the anime like opponents using gutter runs and turning of their headlights. Although rubber banding AI can be annoying. There's a paper cup mechanic and duct tape death matches. Soundtrack is pure Eurobeat of course. It plays well on a wheel although force feedback doesn't work for me. Of course they're better on an actual Initial D arcade machine if you can find one, since you can multiplayer, but it's perfectly playable on PC.
Yes, yes, and more yes. There’s just something about the gameplay of arcade racers that instantly grabs a hold of you. This one looks nicely done, in your face, while still nuanced with finesse. Can’t wait!
There’s a free PC demo for this game. I’ve played the full game and it’s a dream. The controls and drifting are unique and feel amazing. Highly recommended.
This game looks amazing and I like the new gameplay control it’s different from the other arcade drifting games I do wish to see a game with this kind of art and design and gameplay feel like Auto Modellista
@For Honor its an arcade type game though. its uses two joy sticks to drift. i think the art direction looks interesting and for 30 bucks, i'll end up getting it by black friday or maybe someday make its way on game pass. just a casual game to try out
@For Honor you are literally criticising a racing game for its core mechanic. its like playing crash bandicoot and not liking it because all you do is jump.
This game is really fun. For $20 with split screen support I think it’s worth the money. The visuals are bright and colorful and the car models are great. Idk why people won’t give this game a chance?
Going through these comments the Initial V-ote seems really split. This could be wrong, but the Initial D fans are a little saddened (present company included), but le that don't reference it seem kinda into it. Can we get a legit 2020 Initial D licensed game? People WILL buy it.
Your kinda wrong. You see the guy who created this is an actual initial D fan. He always wanted a modern initial D game. Since sega ain’t budging he just made one himself.
Just got added to Games with Gold today! Been wanting it for a long time, but didn't buy it for whatever reason. 🤷🏻 Went ahead and bought the Twilight Rivals pack for $9.99. ☺️
Finally I can get back to delivering tofu
That's exactly what I was thinking. Mt. Akina awaits.
Lol awesome reference

~Running in the 90's~
Underrated comment
:D
the game is Literally named KANSEI DORIFTO
Not Intial D: The Videogame
That's what ended up happening, and it's sad.
So... No Hachi-roku dlc? :'(
Actually Initial D has plenty of videogames. Sadly, they're all exclusive to Japanese arcades.
@@MegaCityGhost - There's gotta be ports available somewhere... Gonna need to look into this.

The art style looks beautifully soothing

_This game can fit so many Inital D references in it!_
me: sees the gameplay
brain: DEJA VU I'VE BEEN TO THIS PLACE BEFORE
DO YOU LIKE MY CARRR
This actually an achievement on the game named: Ive been in this place before, damn this game will be a gem
There’s a glitch in the matrix
Takumi Fujiwara, it is you?
Yes, yes, and more yes. There’s just something about the gameplay of arcade racers that instantly grabs a hold of you. This one looks nicely done, in your face, while still nuanced with finesse. Can’t wait!
The game reminds me of that one game Sprint in the arcades. The simplicity and ctrl of it all feels absolutely amazing, and more importantly fun!
This looks decent, but it also makes me sad that we don't have a new Ridge Racer.
Awwww, man. Me too, Namco have to bring back the franchise! It's been gone for nearly 10 years I think.
We should have a sequel to Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
I feel this in my soul. The last Ridge Racer (Ridge racer in name only) was...depressing.
I loved ridge racer 7 and 4. I wish so bad for a new one. Till then xenon racer is probaly the closest thing.
jam this game while watching initial D in the background. life will be sweet
Nah, Drum & Bass is where it’s at
Eurobeat is where its at
@@ЦветомирИванов-т8ь @EDM Reviews why not both? I could jam some Tokyo Prose and GLXY with my Marko Polo and Leslie Parrish ;)
@@bluestarguardian7554 whatever you prefer man
i personally think the game is fire with eurobeat reminds me of intial d
There’s a free PC demo for this game. I’ve played the full game and it’s a dream. The controls and drifting are unique and feel amazing. Highly recommended.
Yes, great that there is a PC demo. Really love it, but having trouble mastering it :-).
can I use a racing wheel?
Flat No, the whole point is using the right stick to drift and left to steer. Really fun.
"Mom can we get Initial D?"
"No we have Initial D at home!"
*Initial D at home*
TFW u don't want the aesthetic to look like Initial D so you sprinkle some drive vibes to it.
Why does it taste the same?
N-nani!?! Kansai dorifto?!?
Thanks, I was looking for this comment
Isn’t it Kansei? lol
I came here for all the initial d memes and references
Yes
Miss Auto Modellista... Inertial Drift should fill the gap nicely!
The switching between different positions/angles in the “drifting” look so janky 😕
It looks weird but it's actually pretty intuitive once you try it and get your brain past regular racing game intuitions. Give it a shot if you can
The problem is the online. Impossible to find a single opponent
@@krudzinski240 there’s a discord server
literally read the title as Initial Drift before i read it again
I definitely love this animation and gameplay is on another level.
This looks rad. Hadn't so much as heard of it before this/its mention on NVC. Very cool. Love the aesthetic.
How does someone not mention Initial D... at all, when reviewing this game?! Ha
too obvious
Not everyone watches it.
This game and Art of Rally make for a perfect aesthetic arcade racer double
That surprino is definitely meant to be the AE86 from initial d
Sprinter + Trueno = Suprino (?)
This game looks amazing and I like the new gameplay control it’s different from the other arcade drifting games I do wish to see a game with this kind of art and design and gameplay feel like Auto Modellista
Drifting with the wheels facing to the same direction of the corner i'ts a big no-no for me... aesthetically unpleasant
There are two controls... one is steering and one is drift stick. You can drift and make it look countersteering (and countersteer)
Game is gonna be on Games with Gold on Xbox next month for those who don't have it,looking foward to it
the last gwg
ONE OF THE BEST RACING GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED
9/10, you’re welcome
What it needs is the musics
@@3ormore778 what it needs is eurobeat
@@furosukki1301 exactly
Where's AE86???
(Just noticed it. Thanks to those who informed me)
1:44
1:43 car is clearly a parody of 86
You missed the faux AE86 and RX7 in the vid (among others)?
This games is super chill, and its SPLITSCREEN! Would recomend if you like ridge racer 7 or the intial d videos games.
Ngl, it does feel like a Ridge Racer game
Japan : Initial D ( driver / drift )
Western : Inertial Drift
Bunta : what!?
The D might mean dream and inertial drift in japanse means Kansai Dorifto
The Roton 70 is literally the RX-7
Also I'm pretty sure the Coda Supremo is supposed to be the Toyota Trueno.
definitely is, he even said its slow at accelerating but on corners and sliding its the fastest car in the game
Nice to see not one but TWO arcade drifters in the market - I wonder if Namco are taking notes!
Wat other game are u talking about
All those initial d references really hook me in
Racing isn't my thing when it comes to gaming but I love Initial D and this looks like a great way to experience that anime if it were a game
So strange I’ve been on a initial d binge lately then this shows up..
same
This showed up in my recommended just as I was finally starting to get interested in the series.
It listens to you for algorithm
Gathers your data
Gas gas gas, I'm gonna stop on the gas
honestly the gameplay looks great but soo repeditive.
Nah its great to master it.
It's a racing game... What do u expect?
every racing game ever, mastering it is the goal
I kept looking back at the title thinking that it was Initial D spelled wrong. Lol
no reference to initial D or ridge racer? :O
after years a racing game has piqued my interest and IGN has given at great rating too. Have to try this out
All i had to hear was eurobeat and i’d buy it in a heartbeat
I see what you did there :)
Just use spotify
Which music starts playing in the beginning of the video?
How hard can it be to have a Super Eurobeat soundtrack in a drifting game?
Copyright.
I thought this was getting a 7 or 8 by the review but dayum a 9. okay, that definitely solidifies my decision to check it out.
@For Honor lol well its a drifting game* so yeah, there will be a lot of lefts and rights
@For Honor its an arcade type game though. its uses two joy sticks to drift. i think the art direction looks interesting and for 30 bucks, i'll end up getting it by black friday or maybe someday make its way on game pass.

This guy would ace those describe ABC type of essays in english class
Man.. Do I miss Ridge Racer..
does anyone know the song that plays at 0:31? its pretty bangin
Game is dope!) I think it would be cooler, with hand drawn "smoke" from drifting tires)

no drift score, in a drift game?? only laps and time? is it a racing game or a drifting game?
This looks pretty cool I assumed it was a Apple arcade game or something but if it’s a full release on console maybe will be a decent price???
You’re one in a million and I wish you all the best.
Wasn’t expecting a 9 but it is a fun game
De ja vu: i played this game before.
Higher in the scorelist no one can defeat me.
But how does it play with a wheel!? 🤨 🤔
I like the synth wave inspired graphics.
But can you customize the cars?
2:44 okay, look at the gauge at the top of the screen
TXR! TXR! TRX!
The opening is awsome ❤️
What happened to the Switch's physical version of this game?
Sounds like a game that my Joycons always play
Will this be on Xbox game pass?
Looks cool is it worth getting? 🌞
Drifting + Cartoon style make me think of Drift City
I like the art-style of the cars and tracks. Something I want to achieve with my game aswell.
If you need a really solid euro beat playlist to drift to try mine.
Link?
@@glxcial9178 the link goes to my spotify playlist that contains alot of great euro beat music
You should review Art of Rally
I love the style of this game, hope we get more from this in the future
Look at all the money sega is leaving on the table by not giving us initial d arcade on current gen consoles
Was that an 86?!
When is motorstorm ps5
Can u play with steers wheel?
Like Initial D and Ridge Racer had a baby but with vaporware aesthetics.
This is andriod/ios game?
in japan this game should name kensai dorifito with an ae86 panda trueno and a yellow fd3s on the cover
is this game support replay after race?
Yes
I don't know if it's the accent or what but whenever he says Inertial Drift it sounds like he saying Initial Drift
I'm guessing the reviewer isn't familiar with Initial-D since it wasn't mentioned.
Reminds me free to play game
"drift city"
well done, great write up and video
Now what's missing is just Eurobeat background musics.
this is much better than NFS Heat and Grid 2019 😉
Takumi DLC when?
the most positive review ever
You’re not Luke Reilly but that’s ok
It reminds me a lil bit of ridge racer 😁!! Nice vibe i will pick this up later on today!
Takumi, Keisuke is that you??
Eurobeat Intensifies
I think I'm gonna STEP ON THE GAS!
We need some remastered ridge Racer games on switch them a brand new one
Is it only me or somebody got the feeling from Ridge Racer type 4 too?
So many deja vu going on here
So underrated fr❤
who here almost got suckered into believeing we were getting initial d sequel.....
Nani?? Kansei Dorifto!!!1!!
As a Dirt Rally fan, the first shot just looked ridiculous.
