    This is a post I made on chatroom forums

    It is state of the art mobile game BUT im playing it on very outdated iDevice released 3 years ago - iPhone 4.

    If I knew I would win early code few days earlier I woud have access to iPhone 5 but my brother is on vacation with wife and kids - so no luck.

    This only applies to iPhone 4 and presumably to iPod Touch 4 so please keep that in mind.

    Game it self is great but playing it on my device is barely possible, and that very much depends on track you are playing. Tokyo runs smooth no problems what so ever, Nevada has constant frame drops to the point it is not playable any more (touch screen doesn't react when you tap nitro first time & steering has noticeable lag)

    It still looks pretty but graphics have been toned down quiet a bit. I found my self wondering if it's retina or not few times (it is)
    No car model damage also.

    This is why I haven't post any screenshots as I feel it will not do any good to the game and people might think that game looks nothing like trailers and screenshots from Gameloft.

    I hope you understand where I'm coming from with this.

    You all saw gameplay videos from many different devices and that is the real deal.
    This game is meant to be played on newer devices and my God it looks beautiful on them but it's too much for old hardware.

    Yup. It's basically exact-science, but with the "beatles" spelling. The Psi came from psionics during starcraft 1 days.

    Unfortunately no, but like I wrote it depends on track you play as some have alot going on in background.

    Only 2 more days! Woo! I'm pumped and hope you guys are :)

    Side note: Shout out to Ocean City, I learned to surf there with Gary from Backdoor Surf Shop. I think it was like on 82nd street? So long ago!

    Going once…Going twice…Sold! xD
    Don't judge me I need a new phone..

    You guys will really enjoy the game, sometimes shortcuts will cost you your position and when you miss the ramp you feel guilty :D

    Drifting is way too fun and fills your nitro bar pretty quickly.

    Skill & lil bit of strategy is needed as things get hectic after few races, learning curve is there for tracks.

    So, asked earlier, but may have been gotten lost. Will the iOS and Android versions release simultaneously? And also, will this be a worldwide release as opposed to the typical rolling release (that hits the US at 11 EST)?

    Hey sorry I missed this question yesterday before making the commute home!

    The answer to your question is yes, it will release for both iOS and Android on the 22nd :) So you shouldn't have to wait, depending on the different store time releases, too long to play it on your Nexus 7.

    EDIT: In response to whether it's a world-wide or rolling release the answer is it will be a rolling release. Our app store releases are always rolling so just keep an eye out on our the shop in your territory. We don't know the exact times they'll release Asphalt 8 here in the office.

    Not sure, it's up to the store in each territory as to when they release it. We don't know the specific times here in the office.
