I remember the first time I raced him when I was a teenager I was like "HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?". There used to be a sort of glitch where you can turn a bit right before you challenge a car and if you time it right, instead of hitting the back of the car you'll go around so it puts you in front. I used try to do this all time with boss cars or wanderers that were way faster than me so I can try to block or force them to wreck. It really sucks they don't make racing games with this much character anymore

Well seems like the boost that the AI got is very massive.

@karussoul Жыл бұрын

The only thing I absolutely hate is the draw logic which happens in the entire series. To me, choosing a different route from the leader means forfeiting the battle and should've resulted in an instant loss.. the leader gets punished for the chaser's mistake. I got my win streak getting ended several times because the opponent went the wrong way.

@destinwilcoxson828 Жыл бұрын

@VeilStig dw it still happens in 3 too, I was leading by a fair few seconds and the driver decided "nah I'm going left peace" and got a draw ruining a streak

@EdyAlbertoMSGT3 Жыл бұрын

I'm pretty sure drawing is a non-factor as long as you know the route the AI is found at, taking my experience in TXR3 to say this. If a rival's area is the C1 Loop, as long as you stay on the C1 Loop, you will never draw.

@destinwilcoxson828 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, first run when you don't actually check the rival areas though can be a pain, especially when they will usually follow anyways most of the time (it seems anyways)

You just have to have an 1,800 mile car with all the upgrades unlocked, fully modified with maximum boost to around 1,200 horsepower, and you can beat him quite easily on Wangan, provided you don't crash. Speed King's Skyline, modeled after the Calsonic Skyline, makes short work of him, but a typical R34 can do it pretty easily as well.

I LOL'd when you got a draw. That's just TXR AI for you. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me in the 20+ years I've played this game. As for how to beat #400, you got to get him off Wangan and onto C1 (or any part of the highway system that has more turns), and get lucky. Don't stay out too long each night either. Your engine gets heat-soaked quickly. That first night you kept challenging him, you can actually see your car get slower. Gotta get better at avoiding barriers/cars too. I prefer the handling of AWD cars for this reason and usually beat the game with a maxed out R34. I've beaten TXR 0 (all 400 cars) probably 10 times using these strategies.

I remember I was just browsing Blockbuster Video looking for a game to rent and saw TXR-Zero and thought it looks interesting and tried it and rented it 3 more times to finish it. Then bought it a Kmart. TXR-3 is my favorite of all on PS2. Then played Import Tuner Challenge for 360 and was much better graphically but way cut back but the best thing was the introduction of the multi player option. I was #2 on the global ranking last time I played almost 10 years ago.

Update: before the original comment I had played this game again, beating all 13 devils except Tail Gunner and Speed King because I struggled against some members of Unlimited. A couple days ago as of this comment I picked it up again and I beat those Unlimited members, then Tail Gunner around the Shinkanjyo area, then after a few attempts a return to the garage to refresh my car's performance, and ensuring my rematch would be on the C1, I beat Speed King. Now I've beaten all regular rival teams including Speed Master on the final stage with most of the Zodiac cleared and over half of the Wanderers. Last rival I beat as of now was Steam Storm who requires you to be on day 180 minimum, stupidest rival I beat was Dumb yet smart because he requires you to be in a car with two seats, like who tf came up with that?

I had completely forgotten about this series until a few months ago when I was playing Night Runners Prologue. I was sitting there going.. "what does this remind me of? It's soo familiar but I can't pinpoint it", then out of nowhere tokyo xtreme racer popped into my head and was like, this was a real game right? Sure enough I google it and instantly blasted with nostalgia of playing TXRZero on my PS2 every day. So now I've been emulating and playing through TXR3 and TX Drift 2. Once I finish those I'll do a new playthrough of Zero. I really wish they continued making this series of games. I think it had more personality than the NFS games that were similar to this.
