'Speed Forge Extreme' – Upcoming Combat Racing Game
posted by arn on November 12th, 2009 3:23 AM EST in Upcoming Games, iPhone games, iPod touch games
If there's one thing we seem to be suckers for here, it's futuristic combat racing.
I guess we've been spoiled by the Wipeouts (or F-Zeros) on previous platforms, but something about it seems so darn compelling. The latest announcement comes in the from of Speed Forge Extreme which promises a full featured game with impressive graphics and specific support for the iPhone 3GS:
- 16 maps
- 6 vehicles
- realistic physics
- beautiful graphics
- special feature for iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G – full screen motion blur
- weapons, shields, booster etc.
The trailer is provided here:
No word on an exact release date.
This looks fantastic!
only 3GS?
no, for non 3GS, you just don't get the motion blur.
ok that´s fine
looks good, something for the cold winterdays =) but stopp i still have enough unplayed games on my phone "doh"
Saw this in its thread, looks very nice, I'll buy it!
I'm getting this purely because it looks so much like the racing sequence from Freedom7.
looking good but i hate tilt controll…
Still waiting for a proper WipeOut experience, so I will definitely try.
And I hope, the motion blur won't look like in Asphalt 5, to me it makes that game very ugly, or at least give me the option to toggle it off.
But the music in the video is strange somehow (fits more to riding dragons)
Otherwise, looks stunning. Bring it on.
Looks like we have the options to adjust/turn-off the blur (yay!) ..I kinda like the music. (Could take or leave the synth guitar tho.)
Sweet! Ground Control, Phaze, and Low Grav Racer are nice, but I need more.
If I am not mistaken, this came from the android version. I tried the demo already on my htc magic, and frankly, not really good.
Hi,
there is a game "Speed Forge 3D" on android, but it is not the same. This one is better in a every single way, like better AI, more levels, (16 insted of 6), MUCH better graphics, handling, music…. Follow games web page for more details.
Thanks guys for your comments
fantastic graphics !!
Oooooh! Pretty! ..That's a definite buy for me. I'm a sucker for future racers. So far Ground Effect has been the only good one IMHO. Love the motion-blur effect on the 3GS. (Though I'm wondering: does it affect battery much? Is it optional? ..I don't actually *have* a 3GS yet. Just asking out of curiosity.)
Motion blur is optional. You can turn it off and/or set it's intensity. It shouldn't affect battery life
Optional *and* you can set intensity? Wicked! I'm there already! (Not that I wasn't before.) :p
Looks awesome. Bring it on!
Even on 3GS there seems to be just a very slight framerate lag.
What's the difference between the iPhone and the Android version that is coming out? Are the graphics comparable?
Yes, graphics is comparable. For android we are giving more settings, so players can adjust the game accordingly to the phone performance. We are not sure if there will be motion blur in first release, because there are no OpenGL ES 2.0 libraries in android official build.
So, this game is entirely written in opengl 2 ES for the 3GS!
And what are the differences with opengl 1.1 version ? Only the motion blur ?
Interesting. I've been actually strongly leaning toward doing a retro F-zero style combat racing game with my mode7 (that I used for Zombie Karts). Framerate looks a hair low on this one, but otherwise it looks great.
Doesn't look anything special, seems kind of slow paced and dull. I'm sick of all these Wipeout rip offs that are just poor, these devs need to put some time into better track design, where are some jumps or loops or something?
Im definetly getting this game! It looks like Wipeout meets Mario kart, and.. maybe twisted metal? I cant wait!
I hope the fps is high on 3g but rather get a 3gs, I wonder how much I'll get from my 3g new in box…
The game work really well on 3G, so no need to worry
