Footage of PS3 Initial D skids around the corner

"Initial D, the Japanese street racing manga turned Sega racing game, has been released on just about every platform since the Sega Saturn. The latest in the series, Initial D: Extreme Stage, will be making its way to the PlayStation 3, and Siliconera has some new footage from the game.

Set to be released next month in Japan, Extreme Stage will use the PlayStation Network to make up for the lack of local 2-player action. National time attack mode and downloadable content will also be available online. So, that's really just a nice way of saying that there is no multiplayer, right?

Regardless, this promotional movie looks good. Fans of the the manga/anime or the game series should be pretty pleased with the visuals. They will be able to slide around the corners of dangerous mountain roads in glorious high-resolution graphics."

Looks like they spent more time on the CGI cutscenes than on the ingame graphics.

I had to change my comment. Jenzo up their is right. At the beginning its gameplay. That did look horrible. The cutscenes still look incredible.

I like to see more of the gameplay though. How can it look that bad?

It was kinda confusing yes. It's probably being developed by some team who still use PS2 SDK's. KOEI?

2.2 - Yeah.
That gameplay screams Playstion 2. Why sell that on PS3? They should have went PS2. I mean the PS2 install base is huge.

Its a racing game. I don't need cutscenes or story. It seems story driven. I just want great gameplay.
