Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2025

[WanganDream]

I just had a thought. Since this is a fully digital game Genki has the ability to add in more cars post-release, which means it is possible that they could add in more teams and wanderers as time goes on. That'd actually be really neat, having the Shutokou constantly evolving as new challengers come in and maybe even have teams actively entering and exiting during a session to give it less of a static feel.

Not trying to get into wishlisting territory here, but it's an interesting possibility.

If they released that content for free, that would be great and would make more people happy, but my heart is more like...

 

[RageRacer]

They seem quite confident about that the new TXR is going to be good.

 

[BKGlover]

It's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. That being in a tweet and not official media is enough for me to dismiss my skepticism/cynicism for now.

So...did anyone ever have their own icon they used when it was an option? Or a handle you favored?

 

[WanganDream]

Well, their "Halloween" event is now in its third day, with no major events leading up to it.



1st: Midnight Cinderella (from TXR1-ITC)

2nd Cat x Cat (from Import Tuner Challenge)


3rd: Tokyo Jungle (from:TXR1-ITC)

Are these really just meaningless "Halloween" events?

Or is this a statement from Genki that this series of events is a new showcase for the teams that will appear in TXR2025, including not only the rivals from TXR1-3 but also the underrated ITC teams?

I don't know.

For now I'll take off my tinfoil hat and wait and see what they do.

 

[RageRacer]

They're looking for influencers/content creators. What are they doing?

 

[WanganDream]

Maybe they'd like to let them play the beta version and ask for their feedback and promotion.
And maybe in return they'll get some cash and the right to appear in the game as Wanderers?

Someone in the comments pointed out how some of the cars that have bodykits are shared from the 2017 mobile game. And after checking out, it's true

I feel like it's understandable they're reusing assets. I DO hope they are adding new ones not from the mobile game.

I think its also worth pointing out that the teaser isn't recorded in-engine and was likely created by a third-party so anything included (or excluded) should be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[Tornado]

So long as they look fine reusing assets by itself isn't a big deal, and certainly not if you don't pretend otherwise.

 

[EngieDiesel]

It's certainly not going to be GT "standard car vs. premium car" levels of difference, anyway. And touching up existing models to bring them up to current standards will be much quicker than remodeling everything from scratch, especially since they don't have to make a detailed engine bay, undercarriage or (probably) interior.

 

[McLaren]

Interesting to see the Supra looks bone stock exterior wise, but has a large aftermarket exhaust fitted properly. It's been so long since I've played the old games, so I don't remember if that's something Genki paid attention to, but it'll be a nice touch if those sort of mods are visible.

 

[RageRacer]

That sneak peak was underwhelming for me. But hey, atleast it's something.



A survey about which view they prefer for the game. It's nice that they are engaging with the fans.

What every racing title (hell almost every video game) does behind the scenes, they're just being open about it.

 

[NekoPufferPPP]

I appreciate the transparency. Hope this means cockpit view will be a thing.

~900 votes... on a platform with mostly bots. Not sure this indicates much if anything.

And what does it mean? People have preferences so the game should accommodate all those preferences. There's no right way or correct way or proper way or only my way that must force everyone to suffer through or censor other's ability to play their way. It's just your way, whatever it may be, and it means nothing to anyone other than you.

Enjoy playing and be glad others can play their way.

 

[JakeMR2]

From what I can gather it's more so getting on how players actually play the games themselves. Or whatever preferred view they'd actually like. I'm sure you'll have those standard views in the final games (once it releases), but the Twitter account itself was made to be more engaging with the Western Community of the games, as they do indeed want more westerners wishlisting the new TXR game. It's why they're being waaay more transparent than years previous.

That's at a least a thought you guys should really consider at least.

Or they are simply engaging with potential customers, you know as one should when running a marketing campaign.

Honestly, it's really not that hard to figure out.

The GR86, AE86 Levin, and Hawkeye WRX did not exist in Xtreme.

At least two of the cars are all-new or partially new models, not counting the Hawkeye, which is probably using ITC assets.

Also, Genki already licensed the Route KS for the NSX, so unless there are "licensing issues" with Honda, we'll likely see body kits from new model real aftermarket brands bodykits.

 

[WanganDream]

The good news is, it looks like they've finally found out we want TXR merchandise.

Genki is running a poll on X/Twitter asking "What TXR-related product would you want?" and if you respond by quoting their tweet linking to this post, you might be entered into the draw to win a GRP sticker.

Soundtracks, model cars, team stickers...they've already got a lot of feedback on their post, but what TXR merchandise do you want?

Me? I want a Rolling Guy AE86 model car!




And another news update!

They have started revealing the team emblems for TXR.

And the first one chosen is Rhythm Box. This seems like a surprising choice, but there are two big hidden clues in this announcement.

The first is that this emblem is a completely new emblem that has never been used on any TXR in the past. That means they most likely designed their emblem anew for TXR2025.

And the second. They were a team famous for always being made up of only station wagons and minivans, except for a few members in TXR2.

So their appearance means that there is a very high possibility that there will be some kind of minivan or station wagon on the car list for TXR2025.

The existence of teams and wanderers using such unusual cars is one of the symbols of TXR, and this shows that they have not forgotten the spirit of TXR. This is very good news. (I would love to see RATT and MAX Racing too!)

For reference, here is a list of minivans, kei vans, station wagons and SUVs that were present in Shutoko Battle Xtreme:

• 2002 Daihatsu Move
• 2015 Mazda CX-3
• 2015 Subaru Levorg
• 2003 Suzuki Wagon R RR
• 2003 Toyota bB
• 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
• 2015 Toyota Vellfire

 

[JakeMR2]

Hopefully soon they'll have a Dev QA sooner or later down the road whenever that happens probably best to answer those questions then. But glad at least Station Wagons and wagons in general are gonna be a thing, but like I slated for a wishlist of my own would be to have some VIP cars too, but seeing this does solidify that they do at least communicate with people's concerns a bit here.

 

[RageRacer]

Rhythm Box? Didn't expect them to return. But this is good that estate cars have not been forgotten (Station Wagons).

Now, I wonder if they'll reveal a new car confirmed for the game.

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

Its nice they're touching up old rival emblems too. There's an Instagram account that did something similar a few years back.

Hopefully they have a car roster to boot if they're bringing back niche teams.

 

[WanganDream]

Another new team has been announced.

Their name is "K-uicks."
As the name suggests, they are a team with a strong passion for Kei cars, and are characterized by a large number of female members.
However, they seem to be fast enough to fend off the racers who underestimated them because they are women.
They are a completely new team that will appear in the series for the first time in TXR2025.
They are rivals to RATT, and will they become a fearsome team driving sleepers like the M/R in TXR3?

It's also interesting that they continued to introduce teams that feature specific categories of cars, like Rhythm Box (Wagon/Minivan) and K-uicks (Kei Car).

Perhaps the next introduction will feature a team that features VIP sedans, like Max Racing?

My guess would be SS Limited, but there are so many VIP teams. VIP Project from Osaka being one.

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

K-uicks being a rival against RATT makes sense being the two are primarily Kei related.

RATT was one of those teams that never did quite have a rival like SS Limited (Though they were more like friends with Max Racing if we go by TXR3), or Rolling Guy.

I really hope they continue to unveil new and old teams that stick to a certain criteria of car. Judging by the two already revealed, it's already gonna blow ITC out of the water.

 

[EngieDiesel]

Genki introducing new teams like this makes me feel like this is going to be presented as a continuation from previous games, rather than just a full-on reboot.

Also I notice that K-uicks has a ferret in their logo, and ferrets are known for aggressively hunting down rodents like rat(t)s. That detail alone tells me that their rivalry isn't going to be a friendly one.
