Comments on: Video of Upcoming SSX-Like 'Alpine Racer' from Namco http://toucharcade.com/2009/02/26/video-of-upcoming-alpine-racer-from-namco/ ... keeping in touch with the latest in iPhone gaming Sun, 21 Mar 2010 18:21:23 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Capone http://toucharcade.com/2009/02/26/video-of-upcoming-alpine-racer-from-namco/#comment-13997 Capone Fri, 27 Feb 2009 08:26:29 +0000 http://toucharcade.com/?p=1901#comment-13997 Okay, played the demo version of Alpine Racer. It's only one race in time trial, but it's fun when using tilt control. Nontheless the game doesn't look really polished. I would buy the full game for, let's say, 99 ct.

It's like any game that appears on the iPhone is: "Been there, done that." It looks like so and so game but that game was far, far better. It definitely hard to get a gauge on game quality when one person says it looks good, another person says it sucks. How does any developer manage to build a game that pleases everyone. Oh, this game is too hard. Are you crazy, I beat this game in five minutes. How many games have been made over the past 20 years. 10,000 maybe? It would be very, very difficult to create a game that has never been done in some form. Why is a similar-looking game so hard to fathom. The iPhone platform has been around for less than a year. How fast is development usually done on a platform? Based on the the PSP and DS game development, would the iPhone games be considered coming along at a decent rate or not? Just curious. jt you are so funny and so right. It's like any game that appears on the iPhone is: "Been there, done that." It looks like so and so game but that game was far, far better.

That could have been mentioned instead of comparing it to SSX. Game looks decent, hopefully it won't be too expensive. But looking at other Namco iPhone games, it probably will be.

I really wish you guys could make one review one a new addition to the platform without automatically comparing it to another title. Awhile back a guy asked here in the forums "why every game that appears has to be called a clone of another game?" well this is why SSX like?

I didn't see anything ssx-like other than the fact there was snow on the ground and people on skis. No jumps, no crazy races. Ssx would be truly welcomed on the iPhone and this video proves it would be possible. Looked rather boring.

Perhaps Namco should work alongside the guys that are really doing great work on the platform to see how to make magic happen. And I bet they're going to charge a premium. Please.
