Sammy Studios has today announced that it will release Drift Racer: Kaido Battle for the PlayStation 2 in February 2004. The game, which is currently in development at Genki, will feature more than 150 licensed cars and is inspired by the now legitimate sport of drift racing. The sport itself started out as an underground race form where drivers would perform precision powerslides on the treacherous mountain roads of Japan known as the Kaido.

Pfff... taking into account that GT4 is scheduled for Fall, this one has 0 possibilities.

This one is doomed to failure

I\'m loving that leaf scatter shot. I seen a vid of that, and it really does look that cool in game. It also features things like real time fog (which looks incredbily cool as it drifts over things) and small flying bugs and birds etc.

You mean the last pic is ingame?

I doubt it, but the flying leaves thing is in the real game. I\'ll try to find a link to the in game vids, very impressive; Think GTC at Autumn Ring but 20x better.

Adan its not even the same genre so it doesnt directly compete with gt4. I saw these a little while ago. The initial D game looks good too (im a huge I-D fanboy) but ive played it in arcades and i was pretty dissapointed. I saw movies of the console version and it looked like it played a bit better. Lets just hope

The focus is RWD?

Meh. Well the screens are lookin ok. Looks like fun but i want to know how it handles. Plus after watching a gt4 vid a second ago, i cant bring my attention to anything.

most people just choose their game like they choose their movies at blockbuster ie: they pick up the one that as most showing on the shelves. who gives a shit about the genre? it as a nice car on the box dad

Sammy Studios made the Guilty Gear Series and some other games that escape my mind at this moment. They arent that bad.

Hello
