I loved this game. I can't stand that amongst racing games, nobody ever remembers this amazing game that I still think is one of the best racing games of all time. Flash your lights and race heads up. This game was way ahead of its time and still holds up with its in game concepts.😊
I remember, before ever knowing anything about Porsches, getting the 964 Turbo in this game and getting GOOD with it. I would back it into a corner hanging the tail way out, then hammer the gas to get traction on the rear and just HAMMER through corners. Never saw the Yellowbird Nürburgring video, didn't understand weight transfer and why it worked, I just knew that nothing could touch my little red Volkswagen-looking thing. Now after logging hundreds of hours in Porsches in Forza, going back to TXRZ, I can't even TOUCH the pace I was setting when I was 12. I just had it nailed down for one magic moment.
I know that feeling. I suck at drifting, but one day when I was 19 it just clicked. I was using VR and drifting at the Nurburgring and I could just place the car exactly where it should have been. It was like the Corolla were just a pair of running shoes on my feet. But half was through the lap I started getting fatigued and I’ve never gotten into that flow state again, but it was magic while it lasted.
Yeah, do that in a Porsche IRL and you’ll just spin out and die. RR cars are notoriously hard to break traction with, but also notoriously hard to regain traction with.
@kyototomokui6676 It's not impossible to drift a Porsche, and that's basically how you'd do it. It's what The Man from that old Ruf Yellowbird VHS was doing. They got a nasty reputation because they don't take kindly to panic-braking on corner entry, which is what a dentist usually does when he over-cooks it. They have great traction on throttle, but rotate on lift. Opposite of a minivan driver's intuition. Longtime Porsche racing drivers used to crash Corvettes because they'd use gas to straighten out, which isn't a thing in a big FR.
Best game ever, damn I remember that boss. It took me several tries to beat it and was always hoping boss would crash. Thinking about it now those speeds are ridiculously fast, when i did an air strip time attack at 188 MPH (restricted speed pass for first timers) i felt like I was gonna take off and fly!
This was one of the first racing games I ever played to completion - this song and race randomly popped in to my head today, glad I could find it somewhere!
We need another Tokyo Xtreme Racer! Nothing matched the atmosphere and style of this game. The bosses had such a menacing presence too. It was a thrill when they showed up and so satisfying if they happen to crash and you beat them out of pure luck.
This blue Z is one of the toughest opponent of the game, Losing to Zero, a pilot driving a Black modified porsche with 1100+ hp ( data from the game ). I saw a wanderer guide and the player had diffculty against them EVEN with this car
Gran Turismo should make a game like these Tokyo Xtreme drift and wangan for the ps5. With the beautiful graphics and perfect balance of arcade and simulation and street racing. Polyphony even knows that a huge number of players play other games like initial d and wangan midnite
@@oskarex_3846 for reals. I personally think this is the best racing game ever honestly. No other racing games makes me play constantly like this game.
I stayed up all night playing TXR Zero back in the day, then crashed my RSX Type-S that morning shifting gears around a turn, thinking I was still in the game. 😑
Said by someone in another comment, Genki is out of business entirely. Sadly its little more than a pipe dream. Maybeeee something someday encapsulates the feeling these game did for us, but it sadly wont be made by Genki
I remember i only beat this game after printing out the gamefaqs for it at the library and changing my car color to all black to get challenged by the wanderers lol good times and great game.
I played this game for the first time in 2004, I was never able to be at the game but a few months ago I bought the game again and I just beat it today for the first time ever, racer 400 appeared after I beat zero, his car was ridiculously fast, but surprisingly easy to beat because he crashed so much. It was easier beating him, than some of the other people I raced. lol
i've playthrough this game multiple times. Every time, my starter car would usually be the EVO III. On one of the play throughs tho, i got tired of using the same car so i ended up using the EK9 civic and actually used it for the majority of the game, even on Wangan lol. I had it fully upgraded which i think it was around 440hp or so. Even then, would still get dusted, especially on Wangan lol. Good times. Currently playing through the game again using the GTO
Yeah I was dusting everyone with the regular RX7 with around 450 HP. All fun and games until Jintei (Speed King) showed up and whooped my ass. 700 HP discrepancy between the both of us. This game showed no mercy man. I guess that’s why the payouts were also huge too.
@@infiniteblaz3416 I remember the first time playing TXR0, I think I was around 7 or 8 years old. Speed King blew me away. Only way I won against him the first time is because he hit a divider. But because I had a difficult time trying to win against him in an Evo III, I checked the rival list and it said his car was 1200hp 🤣🤣🤣 I wish I could go back in time.
I used PCSX2 emulator with these settings imgur.com/a/wR1s2y7. Make sure to get the 1.7 version or newer (I don't know what version is the newest right now). Right side audio bug was patched on 1.6 or something, but in this video I just set the audio to be mono in Windows 10. The game is smooth, because it ran natively on the PS2 at 60FPS (NTSC version), which is why it also runs at 60FPS on the emulator.
I got to the finale.. But then the last opponent would never show up. Was the worst glitch in history, god the anticipation.... Drove around for hours and hours and hours, never to be challenged. Ugh. >[
I'm sorry for that. If you decide to pick up the game again, I recommend this GameFAQs guide to help you out. gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/448657-tokyo-xtreme-racer-zero/faqs/16433 Usually it's the wanderers who give people trouble, since they have some absurd requirements.
Speed King (The blue Skyline) is the final boss of the 13 Devils. Beating him will trigger the first ending credits. After that there will be more rivals, the 13 Devils being replaced by The Zodiac. The boss in the video is just a secret boss for beating every other rival, and I mean every single one.
Man, so far, as long I been playing nearly the Shutokou Battle franchise, I will say, Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2/Shutokou Battle 2 for Sega Dreamcast, looks great, and has sick soundtrack, but the game is nearly unplayable by such cheating opponents taking coners like a breeze, while us the player, we have to slow down even more than the rival's car, to get through corners, rivals can also crash into corners sometimes, but they recover from their mistakes by blazing ridiculous accelerations like nothing happen
@@sauce2097 Yeah, I thought about making a video of it. The only thing I could think of that would be entertaining would be a short replay with perfect driving, impressive drifts. Or a video detailing tuning advice. Searched TH-cam first to see if anyone else had already done something like that, and found this video. I thought to myself, well maybe this guy could do it better than me anyways, I'll check to see if he's interested before I try to do it, because it'll be a bit tough. Looks like it's up to me, I'm scared haha. I'll see what I can do.
@@sauce2097 oh how unfortunate, still is there any advise to make Speed King´s car reach the speed limit? Mine only goes up to 240 mph and I have installed the 1860 miles parts
@@Zeg-eh5ik Change your gear ratios towards high. If you've never done this before, the jist of it is that there are seven bars to fiddle around with, going from the first gear to the 6th gear and then the final drive ratio. You can change each gear to be either longer (high) or shorter (low) depending on your preferences. Longer gears achieve higher top speeds at the cost of acceleration. Tune the gears in a way that satisfies you, preferrably so that the 6th gear achieves the top speed of the car without hitting the rev limiter. The final drive ratio just changes all the gears simultaneously. If you feel like all the gears are alright, but you just want more top speed, change the final drive ratio to be longer and then test to see if you can hit the car's top speed without hitting the rev limiter. Hope this helped.
his godzilla is driving at the speed of a veyron but sounds like a hair dryer. the OG godzilla is like 40 yrs older in technology and accelerates faster than light speed until it reaches 0.4 mach. funny game is totally boring

It's how someone described it on GameFAQs. It's a bad RACING game, but a good racing GAME. More emphasis on the game and less on the racing.
This game is legend
This is such an underrated game it's just epic
Also when it comes to games about illegal street racing, this one is probably the most realistic since this is how things are done there.
@@DaedalusTwelve Like how the IRL Midnight Club did it in the 90s.

Yeah but every time they try and remake a game it just turns to sht let this baby rest in the memory graveyard
The best feeling is playing this around 1 to 2am in the morning you literally feel at one with the game 😍
Love this game. The S30z in the end reminds me of the Devil Z (Wangan Midnight)
I mean..if your able to pause the game fast enough before he starts speeding off you can check the plate
@@haitotogimaThe plate number is 53-68
The music from this game still bounces around my skull randomly from time to time. And im certainly not complaining. Underrated tracks imo
Still have my original copy for PS2 that I fire up every now and then. Best racing game on PS2 imo.
im crying from nostalgia
Wow so cool to hear remakes of the original replay songs here!
I left a party early one time because i had to race late night cinderella
Glad to see you had your priorities in check
The closest thing we have to this game now is the Wangan Midnight maximum tune arcade.
I love the game company and it’s game references from Initial D and Wangan Midnight
The Boss intro is just... Scary and dope.

Better start praying XD

Game is not forgotten, at least for me. Recently bought a Japanese PS2 console and some Tokyo Xtreme games. Can't wait
Emulate them my man!! Pc or xbox (xbox series s and x can do this game @ 4K)
Gran Turismo should make a game like these Tokyo Xtreme drift and wangan for the ps5. With the beautiful graphics and perfect balance of arcade and simulation and street racing. Polyphony even knows that a huge number of players play other games like initial d and wangan midnite

Devil Z is back!
Gonna have to buy a ps2 cuz I wanna play this again.
Previously i watch the documentary of Nissan Z then this is the next lol
The only way I figured out how to beat this boss was to force him to challenge me on a curvy part of the road... he would crash a lot. haha.
