SHUTO EXPRESSWAY in Racing Games

[@HirokaAkita]

And everyone agrees on one thing: One of the best racetracks on the world, which mixes long and short straights, wide or tight roads, slow and fast corners, trailing zones, ups and downs, and even changes on the tarmac gripping levels... *_simply happens to be a literal public road..._*

[@xtrjackson624]

The Nordschleife is also kind of the same in that regard

[@MaykelFS23]

​@@xtrjackson624yeah, IT WAS a public highway after all

[@thehwguy4293]

​@@xtrjackson624 tbf, the Nordschleife was built with the intent of being a racetrack right from the get go. The Shuto Expressway, especially the C1 Loop, on the other hand, sort of just coincidentally became a brilliant driving road because of the way they went about making the highway.

[@RayyanazriRamadhan]

@@HirokaAkita oh so many one road highway wangan but nfs no recall it right

[@JinteiModding]

Surprised GT5 and 6 aren't present here, especially since Special Stage Route 7 is literally the wangan route but condensed and in the middle of a void (seriously why didnt they use a darker skybox for SSR5 and 7, it highlights the emptiness so much)

[@TheBossGaming]

Tbh I recorded it and I just didnt include it in this list.. doesnt feel like Shuto

[@KhairyanNP]

But what about special stage route 5​? It surround by a city@@TheBossGaming

[@EpicYoutubeHandle]

Why did I read that as GTA

[@alehnny]

I think that Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune should be included as well, especially MT2 with the on-construction Wangan

[@和也兄貴]

It is in the list but it is the very first arcade game before it has Maximum Tune in the name. I did play it back in the day on the arcade and iirc the race is more or less like the "outrun" mode in WMMT. It is the one with "湾岸ミッドナイト MIDNIGHT" as the title.

[@rjbalbuena7789]

Man, I had Tokyo Highway Battle when I was just 7 years old. It was my first PS1 game. I'm 36 now and the sounds are still fresh to me

[@zacrobyte]

man , OF ALL THE GAMES nightrunners gives the most amazing sense of speed , thrill and fear of going fast on a highway . you should make a video on it .

[@beat-man5167]

4:00 i really like this skybox

[@rickran1647]

Surprised Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune not included. The game that literally based on the Shuto Expressway street racing scene.

[@HikariSakai]

for the people wondering yes you can change the time of day and weather in the new TXR with a mod workaround but its drops your game performance significantly if you don't have the best PC out there, I'm running a 3080 and 12700K with 32GB ram and it runs like ass with the mod.

[@marianogomez1664]

Racing Lagoon, Prostreet, Street Supremacy if you need more references

[@らいどん-o8q]

すげぇな、首都高が海外で取り上げられる時代か

[@Chris-kj4vo]

where's NFS ProStreet? it does have a part of the Tokyo Express Way

[@somedudenameddes0121]

That's what I was thinking too

[@RaspberryVevelet]

Oh good. why, that's very good. Yes, i like that.

[@Unknown9108-naz]

Ahhh yess, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3.😍

[@IYouLikeCheeseI]

I still can't believe that they added aura in this game 😂

[@andrewprog2001]

The next video will be Route 66 or Los Angeles in Racing Games

[@TheBossGaming]

Cool idea, thank you 🙌

[@Blue_Y2K6167]

Which part of Los Angeles? Highways? Santa Monica Beach? Long Beach? Mulholland? Hall of Fame? Downtown? River? South Central? LAX?

[@andrewprog2001]

@ between Santa Monica beach, Downtown and Mulholland

[@TheBossGaming]

@@Blue_Y2K6167all of them I guess

[@FelipeFritschF2]

Nice video as usual, but you should have included Special Stage Route 5 since Gran Turismo 1 (maybe just GT1, 4 and 6), and SSR 7 from Gran Turismo 5-6. NFS ProStreet and Shift 1/2 also had different configurations. Also at least one of the Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune arcade games, they can be emulated as well.

[@milfordh.mercado2787]

😎😎😎 nice work there TheBoss Gaming in doing the history of shuto expressway is great choice my friend so thank you for the video and have a great weekend bye now later.

[@rorroryusoul]

Very cool video theboss gaming

[@TheBossGaming]

Thank you 🙌

[@arcofhell]

nightrunners art direction really made it stand out from the rest

[@ivantan7367]

Damn, this genre is coming back 🥹

[@tuned4life]

Tokyo extreme series is literally the best series ever. What pcsx2 settings are you running ?

[@beat-man5167]

Racing Lagoon had the wangan and the C1/New Belt line

[@RayyanazriRamadhan]

Where is nfs shift map Tokyo westbound expressway and nfs pro street

You forgot about Midnight Club: Los Angeles Remix

[@TheBossGaming]

You know that Shuto Expressway is in Japan

[@Ulqui_210]

@@TheBossGaming I think the PSP version has the Japan map also.

[@markdebruyn1212]

@@Ulqui_210 yes the psp version includes the Tokyo map, but you have to unlock it

[@Darknova591]

No burnout Revenge cause it has Japanese racetrack that was inspired from the expressway.

[@lostxerxes]

I think you forgot the Tokyo Xtreme Racer PSP games?

[@vuckyz6666]

Street Supremacy right?

[@Burningi88]

gt7 still looks insane wow

[@sleepyf4ce488]

What camera script are you using in Assetto Corsa? Looks like BACC GT, but with better sense of speed.

[@TheBossGaming]

It is..

[@sleepyf4ce488]

@@TheBossGaming that's weird, mine's looks way slower :p

[@michazmuda1477]

No Pro Street?

its in the shuto is in the game files💀 is that what you were referring to?☠️☠️🤍

[@michazmuda1477]

@Yxbby there is shoto expressway for speed challenges.

[@Hiromakoto25]

Its too bad, In GT5 and GT6 didn't not present here.

[@ARTBLOX]

Where is DT Racer? 😔

[@SKININDUSTRIES666]

Blur also have

how does your assetto corsa look so clean and good?

Im using sky pp filter haha maybe its that

[@rolomnfk]

@@TheBossGaming are you using a shutoko skin?

[@jacobrev6567]

The reason I really like Asetto Corsa is because of the No Hesi mods

[@TheBossGaming]

One of the best mods for that game

[@ZoMTDU]

Fast and the furious shown

[@CZVdarkoSRB]

TXR 2025 daytime is a mode?

[@TheAnunnaki-NYC]

That is from a MOD you can get online. TXR is supposed to be at night only. The only TXR that had "Day Break" was ITC.

[@mignotmaxime2409]

You forgot AC... In the thumbnail ;)

[@TheBossGaming]

AC is the thumbnail 😁

[@kanebehne3604]

Midnight Racing: Tokyo on Roblox is another great example of the Shuto Expressway

[@CodyDBuni]

Unfortunately, it's just as hilariously inaccurate as F&F PS2/PSP. Even Route C1 depicted in-game has parts that don't look like in real life.

[@nismo3871]

​@@CodyDBuniits a 5 year old map at this point so its somewhat reasonable but I agree

[@kihirooe3210]

4:30 rockstar games ?!!

[@Blue_Y2K6167]

Yes, before GTA 5, Rockstar used to produce Midnight Club racing games.

[@Lex24HD]

Yep, when RS actually did good games and not a cow that milks money like GTA 5, RDR 2 and when it comes GTA 6, so sad that RD San Diego is focused on that crap rather than making a new MNC game, the only worthy rival of NFS.

[@Blue_Y2K6167]

@Lex24HD RDR 2 does get much attention by Rockstar too, its not a money milk like GTA 5 Online. Mostly of the old developers from Angel Studios/old San Diego are not working at Rockstar anymore, especially the Midnight Club director.

[@ChadSpittingTruth.]

The Fast and The Furious, Import Tuner Challenge and TXR 2025 = Soulless (on TXR 2025 Especially the modded daytime it's look like shit, and also it's make from the unreal engine 5 slop)

[@CodyDBuni]

Ironically, TXR '25 is surprisingly well optimized (even on Steam Deck), which was considered borderline impossible on UE5.

[@TheBossGaming]

TXR is one of the best racing games in a long time

[@ΣάββαςΓρηγοριάδης]

​@@TheBossGamingwhere's nfs prostreet????

[@Blue_Y2K6167]

​@@ΣάββαςΓρηγοριάδηςHe can't include every racing game, Gran Turismo 5-6 its missing too.

[@Sungblox]

bro TXR 2025 is the best racing game thats been released recently, FH5 is shit with a souless world, TDU solar crown & NFS unbound are struggling to keep their shit together
