Yeah it is the exact same one. I just got access to the Arabic version myself this morning and could compare. Nice job sicksilvo!
With the improved physics engine in A8 the option to go balls to the walls fast and smash against walls will lead to a wreck. Not a viable way to race in A8. There are some tracks that have really tight corridors or tight turns, like you mentioned so you do need to have some racing skill to make it through those successfully.
Awesome. The wall-balling and general lack of physics was my biggest complaint about A7. Glad to see its fixed. This games gonna be sick. Also, I'm really loving the drift mode.
Robotix... It just a joke between me and sicksilvo... Once he called me Don't Ponic and I called him sicksalvia. Back few pages, before post and make comments like this...
The drifting is insanely fun. I basically see how long I can drift for in the elimination mode and then use turbo to make sure I don't get knocked out. It's a terrible habit.
I think it was cause sicksilvo was able to bypass the regional block, but it was definitely a good find by you!
I think it is much better from playing it at E3. Plus the jumping and tunnels are awesome. Wish I had an ipad 4 now, maybe I will get an ipad 5 now.
If drifting is done right, races should always be a challenge in knowing which turns to drift around, and which turns don't need it (since you should be able to go faster while not drifting). This hasn't really been a theme of old asphalt games, so hopefully it will be a factor in A8
From the videos I get the feeling it will be more along the lines of NFSMW. Which I wouldn't say is done right, it's just really fun. Only thing I ever do in that game is try to drift the entire track. You're completely right, though. I said the same thing early in the thread. Would love it if there was some thought required in when or when not to drift, and some skill required in the actual slide. It would especially improve multiplayer. Races would be won with talent rather than fast cars. Not gonna happen, though. At least not much. Maybe slow the car down, that alone would definitely be an improvement.
Now? iPad 5? Nope, not till November. No need to make such a big deal about it, you would have got the same thanks if we could actually see it at the time of your post. With Silvo embedding it, we could.
