    Off-topic: Ridge Racer Slipstream has gone free, in case anyone wants to take advantage ;)

    On-topic: update didn't come out yet :(

    I've been playing a few races in RRss (I didn't have it, just got it with the free offer) and I get your point. Maybe it could work with button configuration, but I find the steering wheel in A8 more useful than the left/right buttons, and with the steering wheel it wouldn't work. In advanced stages (season 8, achieve 50,000 points sliding in Iceland, for example) you need precise steering controls which allow you to slide a little bit through some arcs and then turn abruptly to go through other arcs. I can't get to those scores just with left/right, I need the "a little bit left/right" and "a lot left/right" precision. Maybe the nitro could be on top of the steering wheel, but I'm not sure you'd get all the control you need. Anyway, as you said, GL could implement it just to give more options to players who -as you- want that config.

    Great Wall update not working

    Great Wall update is not working. In game it shows a newer version is required and when I click update, it takes me to itunes store but update option is not available there.

    Anyone else facing the same problem?

    All of us, since yesterday. Did you read previous posts? There are even theories by Rip73 and other users as to why it's not available yet :D

    Instead of dreaming of it, why not play Asphalt 7 in the meantime? That has had the Tuatara for quite a while.

    On a more silly note, if I really wanted a wheel for my iPad mini, I could just duct tape it to my Logitech G25 and not worry about which model it is.

    So, I got the 599XX thanks to the St. Paddy's Cup sale. It's pretty good, to say the least.

    Odd question: How useful is the Camaro Grand Sport in multiplayer?

    It changed from "almost Premium" to "definitely Freemium with ads", obviously. Bummer. One of the better racers.

    Ha. We tried to play A7 after some months! A8 "ruined" completely A7. We can't drive anymore A7. It was as if we played it for the very first time. And we played A7 for months ago, believe me.

    Those were the best racers at their times and you all missed them. It's simple like that. BTW Gameloft apologies for jumping the gun, see att.

    Really?!? I thought Asphalt 6 was great.. I know a lot of people hated it; but I actually miss the female commentary:D it definitely added to that arcade racer feel.

    Anyway, wheres the A8 update maaaan...

    What's your favourite of the three top S cars: Lykan, Huayra, or Agrera? The Huayra has a lower overall spec, but the handling is quite high, which could be good given how twisty most of the courses are. Is the Lykan worth the extra money?

    I don't particularly like driving any of them because they're all so fast and out of control, but the Lykan is definitely the best of the three. It accelerates like a rocket, and it's top speed is ridiculous. For how fast it goes, it actually handles pretty well too. I'm a bigger fan of the A class cars overall, the Sesto and the LaFerrari especially. Still fast, but a little more in control.

    The Lykan probably isn't worth the extra money when you're going through career mode, but once you've got it finished, you'll need the Lykan to be successful in many of the daily cups.

    Yeah, it's up on Android now so not too far away for iOS now.

    Funnily enough, I've read a couple of things this morning that specifically updates on iOS are having a few issues with the last day or two and that a good few apps (not just games) that had scheduled timed updates didn't go through right on the scheduled time or had some issue or other.

    An unusual one. Edit. Starting to look like Apple had an issue on their server farm side of things for a lot of updates.

    lmao. I thought you were joking, this is the real title for the tourny. Well, time to win some money. But do you think the update will be live in the next day or no?

    Luis,
    Thanks very much for coming in and keeping us informed.
    It is GREATLY appreciated to have a dev team person interact on it.
    All the best.

    Edit. Oh, meant to say, its great that you guys are adding content to the game as well.
    This one looks like a great (pun kinda intended again) one, so its worth pointing out that we are indeed very grateful, particularly by the high standard this one seems to have.
