You Need To Play The New Tokyo Xtreme Racer

[@DustinEdenYT]

Small correction - you cannot actually play the game to the end like I said in the video. There's different "stages" in the career, and currently you get access to the first two which is probably about half of the game. Still though, it's a lot of content and makes me excited to see what's next!

Night Runners looked at the drought in the racing market, a single developer decided to do something about it, it really resonated and took off with car enthusiasts, and only then did Genki take notice because they saw how well someone reviving their concept was doing.

[@edgrdfw]

@@ashton9699and its fine, no? companies have looked at each others work for years to find out what works and what dont, if the end result is us getting both night runners and txr on the same year, i'd say good job on NR for showing the devs that theres a market for it!

Real ​@@ashton9699

[@MysteriousFigure]

@@ashton9699 True, but I think Night Runners can definitely still succeed on its own alongside TXR, especially with the cars not being licensed and having more creative freedom with that, the aesthetics, music etc. and more dark seedy theme of the game directly addressing street racing vs Genki's "you somehow are racing on public highway and its all good", hope both games do really well

True! But I don't like really like the only highway setting, also has anyone ever made truly open world racing game set in Japan?

18 Years. 18 F***ING YEARS SINCE THE LAST GENKI RACING GAME CAME OUT! I was 16 when Import Tuner Challenge released. Now being almost 35 (dahm Im old) and seeing TXR getting released again, looking as great as it is and also coming to Consoles later that Year... Let me say it loud even for the Fans in the Back: WE ARE SO F***ING BACK BABY!!!

[@tizodd6]

I love these old progression systems. Reminds me of old school Gran Turismo when I would start with a '91 Miata and stay with it race after race, gradually building it up to be a beast, before graduating to an RX7 and repeating the race-build cycle. That's why I could never get into the FORZA games. It just felt cheesy to start the game with a brand new Supra or Corvette.

[@AsianKid99]

The older forza's on the 360 had good progression back in the day, but it's completely gone in the newer titles.

[@TheSpiritOfTheWest]

Exactly man. That was the best feeling. To buy a car from the used shop and build it to the best it could do and then moving on to a more powerful platform. But we would never sell that first car

[@brewskiswiththebroskis]

[@paulpawelek]

the art of bringing arcade experiences to peoples homes is not dead and i'm well happy knowing this

[@thebaffman4898]

The most surprising thing in all of this is that the game is built on Unreal Engine 5.4 but unlike other AAA games made by much bigger studios it's not a stutter fest.

[@Paragleiber]

I have never played a TXR game before and to be honest I am kind of struggling to see the huge appeal of these games, with the map being limited to just highways and the racing to just duels on mostly straights. I will definitely give the game a shot though! Maybe when I play it myself I will finally "get it". And if not that's fine too. Not every franchise has to be for me.

[@Kev27RS]

You have to be into the Japanese car culture to understand the appeal.

[@abolfazlnozari679]

Hey dude It is understandable if you just can't find yourself enjoying TXR and genki games as a whole but I if I had to sell the game to you i would say it's similar to say NFS being inspired by early F&F movies where it contains cops vs racers and street racing elements where MCs and their iconic cars consist most of the personality, TXR and TXR Drift series were inspired by Japanese IRL street racers and wangan midnight series where over the top Japanese anime tropes cand be seen all over the place and takes alot of influence from JDM tuner culture therefore this is the kind of game which scratches THAT one specific itch... JDM highway/togue(mountain) racing and it's a Japanese game through and through. And another thing is this is an indie game and we are at the time where most AAA games come nowhere close to being as good as these kinds of games. I mean NFS had a good thing with heat but then it fumbled and it took them multiple updates to get good, Forza motorsport messed up hard, Forza horizon is still an uninspired festival racing so is crew motorfest, Gran turismo 7 alienated it's fanbase due to drastic changes to game design and the new Test drive unlimited messed up too. Not to mention all the above also guilty of stuff like micro transactions and always online BS so given the quality, the content, the marketing, the visuals, and the price I say this the best TXR game to date and a great place for a highway racing beginner such as yourself I hope this reply was useful for you❤

[@GushiKatWar]

Try Tokyo Xtreme Race Drift 2! Realistic physics, racing between mountains! It will give you a lot of stress but a lot of pleasure when you beat everyone by not missing a single curve while drifting!

[@schottischfuranfanger6724]

Yeah, I had Tokyo Highway Challenge on the Dreamcast, and found it to be pretty dull. I really wanted to enjoy it but I found the constant highway driving to be too boring.

[@Paragleiber]

@@abolfazlnozari679 Well, I love the NFS games from 2006 and before but to me TXR sounds like if you would take for example NFS Carbon but then you would remove all of the map sections that aren't highway and remove all the game modes and race types apart from the free roam duels against roaming racers. And I love NFS Carbon but I wouldn't love it with all of those things removed because there wouldn't be much of the game left, lol. But like I said I will definitely give the new TXR a try, so there is no need to try to sell me on it. I will see for myself how it is and if I can get into it.

[@Murkelsable]

I love this series so much, grew up playing TXR Zero, 3 and ITC and I'm so excited for this game to come out. And the fact that everyone seems to be so positive about it even though it's in early access state makes me want to get it day one!

Given that Nu-TXR seems to have captured the hearts of almost ALL of the racing game KZbinrs even in early access, it's safe to assume Genki was right to reboot this.

[@joanollasPN]

Idk why but the new TXR gives me Yakuza vibes where it feels inbetween a AA and a AAA game, the graphics, the cutscenes and the skill tree

[@Payday5]

it got that AA japanese studio charm, reminds me Yakuza 6 with its vibes

Remember that in the older TXR games you could unlock hidden parts for various cars by driving so many miles on the specified car. I used to just set auto cruise on while I was away and come back later for hidden rewards.

It’s crazy I just bought TXR 0 for $20 and now I’m getting all these videos about the newest entry

[@yoshi555king]

The floatyness I even had on X360, in my eyes it looks like a properly fine tuned (to today's standard) Import Tuner Challenge (X360). I deffo gonna get it

[@BlueShift2000]

I had the feeling that 2025 would be a good and interesting year, and it seems to be coming true. I hope there is an RF version of the ND as well.

seeing this game get glowing impressions from racing game fans makes me so happy. ive gotten so jaded to the pessimism of the racing game community and big releases constantly flopping that i honestly never thought i'd see the day where it felt like everyone was united over something in this miserable fandom for once, and a new title actually lived up to expectations and didnt have some stupid catch

[@0uttaS1TE]

I was sold anyway but hearing about the Steam Deck support made this a day 0 purchase. We locking in BEFORE the release. I like gaming on the bed, or when I'm on the train, and playing TXR3 on Deck made me realise how good the loop was for bite sized action. But hearing that a UE5 game not only runs well on the deck but has been optimized for all the deck's features has me convinced that Genki know the engine better than even Epic

[@UndercoverBoy833YT]

oh boy, the year 2025 is off to a great start with Genki's newly fresh and cooked Tokyo Xtreme Racer

[@alturkeiabdullah]

I love how the ui, the hud, the sound effects etc are actually unique and cool and not just "corporate" or forcibly manufactured to look modern like most of the recent racing games

1:07 what a vibeee 🔥🔥🔥 ..for the future updates, it needs more head on head action Soul! it feels like the devs read our comments in every other racing games on yt like for example when there was a highway tokyo night scene of Assetto Corsa Mod or GranTurismo fckn'7 we immediately commented its like Wangan Midnight / TXR !!! ..hope we will see another Auto Modellista 2 from Capcom 🔥

[@Juliencharb]

this doesn't even look like an early access or a 1.0 version , it's straight up lookin like a game that already got multiple updates , if we compare it to any game coming out lately LOL , i'm really hype for this game

[@matthewtwitter5172]

Little fact really, the system of battling random no names first shows up on Racing Battle C1 Grand Prix, a never localized Tokyo Xtreme Racer game that focuses more on legal racing [e.g. circuits, albeit still uses C1 and Osaka]. I'm just surprised they'll add it onto the MAINLINE series. I really love this.

[@BlackRockStella]

If you haven't heard it yet, RBC1GP recently got a fan-translation.

[@matthewtwitter5172]

@BlackRockStella What the fuck?.? Where can i get it?? Looks like i've been living under a rock

[@_fazoo]

this is how a revival should be done, im glad they kept the original formula

[@ZARKOLYN]

It's like that wangan midnight arcade game that we needed for so long, can't wait for actual release!!

[@nakamizakeyuuki8157]

Please support the game so we can get a Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift too

[@geraldkrisyello2984]

its the second coming of the mw 2005 moment

[@GuntanksInSpace]

Loud and clear, Eden. I've been big excited for this game and I'm getting the hell in there when it's out.

[@MrPantopantalones]

Kudos to all the modders for keeping our appetites in check and Genki for letting us know who’s king
