Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune Series

[RCKakashi14]

You've got to be kidding me.

 

[Aki Ko]

You've got to be kidding me.

Is that for real???

 

[RCKakashi14]

Is that for real???

Unfortunately, yes.

 

[Aki Ko]

Unfortunately, yes.

I guess it works... not that convinced.

The other song though is good.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Mooooooo...

 

[RCKakashi14]

Long time no post here.

Anyhow, I'm almost done tuning my BMW Z4, and I got a new color for it as well:

And I briefly had a Ghost battle when someone challenged my Mazda 110S:

So, I've heard that Maximum Tune 5 has made its way in the USA. Has any of you played it? Hopefully you get a DX patch like what I'm playing and we can challenge Ghosts in the US/CAN region as well.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Found a gameplay video of two new BMWs added in the game:




That M6 is a troll, though. With that long and wide body.

 

[RCKakashi14]

My commentary.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Been playing a lot lately.

I happened to find an 5DX+ station...

I was going to go broke until my sensible side told me to cap it off. Playing that game can get expensive really fast if you don't let it eat at you. It's actually difficult if you don't know the flow of a car's handling. (Despite what you may watch on YouTube, it does require effort to know how to hit the apexs for each car.) I bought a Bananaport card and interestingly enough, I chose to start with a GC8 Impreza WRX STi. In a few hours, I'm halfway upgraded in power and handling tune- it's enough of a handful to master, yet I was in the groove after a while. (I didn't take a picture because there wasn't any exterior mods to it. I was doing mostly Story Mode.)

Prior to the GC8, I was racing with random people. It's great fun, and I wish that there was more in America. The Japanese players were great in sportsmanship from my experience- even if there was a language barrier.
And the music blaring behind your back with the bass thumping... It's pretty serious after playing it for two or so hours.

Lucky for you to play 5DX+

And based from your experience, I guess the players there are less toxic than the International version community (since I've been watching Japanese WMMT VS battle videos too)

Over here, there are too many FD/R32/RX-8/Evo9 users that it's getting tiring, and profanity as an icing on the cake.

It should be a good experience for you. And the GC8 is a nice car outside the bandwagon.

I played with random people- Japanese and foreigners. They all were great to play with. I did see one guy had a built early hawkeyed STi (forgot the model name for that one [GD8 or something]) in black. I never versused him, but he played decent. Also had someone sit next to me with using a AE86- now, THAT was surprising because I never saw it on videos often.

At least there's a variety of players who use whatever car they choose. The time trials? Forget it, the best cars are used. But outside of that, it's great to engage in.

I was going to get a Mark II Tourer, but I had played with it in arcade mode. I decided to go off the wall with a Subaru.

My latest WMMT video:

The problem over here is that majority just listen to whatever everyone says in the arcades, hence enlarging the bandwagon.

I ignore them, even though I do have an FD for an entirely different reason - I miss it so much from MT1, as it was stolen when I was in high school.


And here's another non-bandwagon car that actually has great handling - the BMW Z4:

Video for today:



I'll play tomorrow to record more battle videos.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Starting a new build, but from a discard. So no need to tune from scratch:

It looks like a 997 into a 991. (Or a Caymen to 991.)

I've been wanting the 991 RT-35 ever since it came two years ago in the Japanese arcades. Thank goodness I have a discard.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Had so much fun in the arcade today. I did a lot of VS Battles but I chose to highlight this:



Just goes to show how the Mazda 110S is capable of in VS Battles.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Had a bout against a BMW M1 ghost:

 

[RCKakashi14]

Finished tuning the 991:

 

[RCKakashi14]

I would call this a RUF day:

*ba dum tss*

 

[RCKakashi14]

My first ever Time Attack video, a Wangan Westbound run:



Though there's a huge room for improvement there.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Finally had the time to play. Got the Countach from a discard. Said to be a great newcomer.

 

[Stavingo]

How does it handle?

I'm keen to try the new NSX and old NSX haha

Countach is grippy, but is only second to the NA1.

Aventador is T H I C C.

 

[Stavingo]

Hmm guess I need to tune a few TA cars then

Actually, the four new cars are overall great cars. That's a nice change considering that most add-on cars aren't noteworthy.

The NA1 is a serious rival to the FD3S. The Countach also performs well in Time Attacks (but not in all courses) and the Aventador is an excellent performer in high speed stages with mid-speed turns while being an obviously effective blocker in VS battles.

The 2017 NSX is somewhere in between, but a great new addition as well.

Maximum Tune 6 is now out in Japan with Porsches and controversial dress-up changes.
