When will some of the Chinese manufacturers show up in fast driving games? BYD, Geely/Lync & Co, Nio, and so many are quite impressive.

Lynk & Co, Nio, & MG have all been given attention through both Forza games. I think Project Cars 3 even showcased the Nio.

Here's to more attention, It's interesting how the street racing VHS tapes of the 90s from Japan were at every tiny import repair shop sparking interest, but even now only reports of the 10s of thousand street racer crackdowns leak out - 74,000 as of a few months ago, 👀, but not any getaway in Stockholm like bits from say Zhuhai . Seems they need better marketing.

If the manufacturers want more attention, it's more of a surprise Polyphony hasn't orchestrated a deal with them, yet.

But, I'm not positive any of those Chinese brands will be finding a spot on the roster list for TXR. The series has had some oddballs, but the oddballs have been pretty recognizable cars & are still outnumbered by the JDM list (going by Zero & 3). Even the 'D2 Mercedes' & 'JGTC Skyline' were still a highly modified Aristo & R34.

Now that TXR is confirmed to have licensed cars, I see the car list taking inspiration from the MF Ghost anime and a bit of Assoluto Racing - a mix of JDM, American muscle and European exotics, but not going way too overboard. Something that realistically portrays Japanese street racing culture would really define its theme.

But since Genki are starting completely from scratch - maybe 30 to 50 cars at launch would be realistic?

We don't really know how far along they are in modeling other cars or exactly how far into 2025 the launch date is (I'm gonna guess prolly around this time at the least), so I kinda expect somewhere around 80-90 maybe.

But since each crew would usually center around one or two car models and some cars would appear in multiple crews, with the wanderers usually being the ones with the unusual examples, and there's not exactly much need to make sure they're balanced against each other since extreme tuning is the kind of the point with this series, having a lower car list compared to other open world racers isn't exactly an issue.

How long do you suspect it'll be before we see gameplay footage?

in under 29 parsecs for sure

Those screenshots they released on Steam are not bad, but I'm guessing they're from a very early build b/c the R34 & the Supra look really well done in comparison.

Based on some fragmentary information, it seems that they have already spent more than a year on the development of TXR2025.
(For example, their trademark registration activities started in 2023, and Genki's move to a new building was probably for that reason.)

But I'm not too optimistic. I think the first gameplay trailer will probably be released after spring 2025.
There are several reasons why I make this assumption.

1. Modern video game development tends to require much more time and cost than in the PS3/Xbox 360 era.
2. Genki is a mid-sized developer, meaning they don't have the budget or large numbers of people to devote to game development like Criterion(EA), Turn 10, or Polyphony Digital.
3. At least for now, the fact that they are releasing TXR2025 only on Steam means that they may not have support from console manufacturers such as Sony or Microsoft.
4. Genki's current "main business" is supporting the development of games for other companies, which means they are not in an environment where they can focus solely on the development of TXR2025.

Currently, TGS2024 is being held in Japan. This event is the biggest promotional opportunity for Japanese game developers and developers outside of Japan who want to promote their games to Japanese people.

However, Genki did not participate in this event and only delighted us with the Supra.

Perhaps this is yet another piece of evidence that shows that they are not yet far enough in development to be able to participate in TGS and exhibit the TXR2025.
