I'm trying to beat Rip73's shadow in Tokyo, A class Lambo Sesto Elemento, season 8, but still unsuccessful... I think the game makes all the races interesting enough to play them over and over again. The problem is the upgrades get very expensive. Anyway, I still don't feel I'm grinding because it's more a "I want to beat this shadow" or "I want to achieve this missing star". What I feel is that this game is sucking all my free time... On a side note, those who have played all the Asphalt games as me: which tracks are new and which are repeated from previous Asphalt games? For example, I'm pretty sure Monaco was in Asphalt 4 and Iceland was also in another Asphalt game. Tokyo was in Asphalt 3 (check the pics in http://www.ovigaming.com/reviews/item/asphalt_3_street_rules_for_n-gage_review.php). What I don't remember is if the layout is the same. When I say repeated I mean with the same layout. I remember London was in Asphalt 7, but it was a completely different layout than the London you race in Asphalt 8.
Thanks. I guess i must upgrade my GTR even further then. Was thinking of getting 458 cos it might better when upgraded + stars
All tracks are completely new (even Alps, Iceland, London and Tokyo) except Monaco (was in A6 already). But Monaco offers reversed races (never seen before in a video gameand there are dozens of them with Monaco, mostly F1), gate drifting and infected mode. Even Monaco's nitro bottles are at the same places like in A6 but other (and more) traffic.
Iceland is not new, I can assure you that. The problem is I don't remember in which Asphalt it was, but I've raced through those caves before. I think they must be from the earlier Asphalts which weren't on iOS. I'll try to investigate further if I have time. @GL_Ryan, I'm sure you can find out which tracks are new and which refurbished...
The Iceland track in A8 is different to the Iceland track in A7 in all details. There are no similarities! I played all Asphalt versions since A4. I can assure you that Iceland, Alps and Tokyo (all in A7, partly in A6) are complete new in A8 (although there were tracks with the same name in previous versions). The tracks have the same names but are totally different to previous versions.
Ok I'm still on season 2/3, got the D class Cooper, B class Audio RS3 and C class Survolt as my current best cars in each of those classes. So got along way to go. But goddamn I must suck really bad, everything looks like it's gonna be a lot of grinding with so many different cars needed for a lot of the upcoming events. I need a bunch of good ghosts I can race against, is it just a matter of adding friend on Gamecenter? If you have ghost races I can race against my GC is CHRISG1A. You do get gold for competing against other ghosts right?
In season 6 at the moment. I get around 2400 in 2 and a half minute races so there is a way to grind extra cash but i need a lot of money now @_@
Just added you! I am not the best, but have some good times on there! Only by adding GC Ghosts to the race, it doesn't add much money to the pot but it makes it more fun to "grind" and try and beat the ghosts!
There are other video racing games with Monaco in reverse direction? Must have been slipped under my radar.
Cool. Yea having other peoples ghosts to race against definitely gives you a lot more incentive to replay the same event over and over.
As someone who put over 250+ hours onto Terraria when I picked it up on Steam, I know this problem. Just got it on my iPad this weekend as well! Good to know because I just got the GTR last week! 9 out of the 10 tracks are new. The only revamped one is Monaco. I believe that was a popular track in 6 or 7, I just can't remember which one. It's possible the caves you're referring to look similar to something else in a previous Asphalt, but Iceland is definitely a new track
I guess you mean 8 out of the 9 tracks, right? Or are we yet to unlock a 10th location? I must be wrong then, but the cave structure surely looks similar to another track in the Asphalt series. I'll have to end up booting the old Nokia phones to see if it's in those...
I've been out of the whole mobile gaming thing for a while now but now that I'm back, I wanna know something about this game. I've got an iPad 3rd gen and a Nexus 4. On the Nexus 4, would I get the better Asphalt 8 experience? Is the iPad 3 version scaled down or is the frame rate low? For instance, MC4 was almost perfect on my Nexus, but stuttered like mad on my iPad, making it unplayable on multiplayer. I know it's only a dollar, and I really couldn't care less about spending on both my devices, but I have bandwidth issues atm and just wanted to download the game once. Also, JBRUU or Rip73, if you're reading this, is it worth the download? I don't remember who it was but one of you hated A7 but loved NFSMW and I agreed on all the points made. Is A8 considerably better than A7? Not a huge fan of A7 on the iPad at least, with it's really pixelated graphics and crappy physics and all the other problems.. compared to NFSMW, which I still play on my phone
Sigh, yeah the three day weekend we just had apparently made me add in an extra track. Whoops! :X I personally play on my iPad 3 and haven't had any issues with it. However, I have read some complaints from players who are playing on an iPad 3 and I believe some are in this thread as well. I can't really say anything about the Nexus 4 because the only Android device I've played Asphalt 8 on has been the newest Nexus tablet. I've seen some activity on Droid Gamers forums and they might have better insight for those devices if you're interested
Took a look on their forum. Seems like only the nexus 7 users seem to be having issues. I'll get it for my nexus 4 then and maybe on my iPad later when my bandwidth issue has been fixed Hope the graphics are just as good on android as it always is on iOS!
*raises hand* Yes, I strongly preferred NFS over A7. I can't really speak to iPad 3 performance (but per other members' experiences it should be fine), but I can tell you to pick this up now if you enjoyed NFS. It's arcade in the most ridiculous, over the top and fun sense of the word. Much more so than NFS was. Physics are actually there (and excellent at that), graphically it's not quite up there with NFS in terms of quality of car models, but there's so much going on at once it's hard to fault the game for it. There's much, much more to do here vs NFS, the ghost element is just fantastic, and it'll almost certainly receive regular updates like A7 did. Combined with the multiplayer, great variety of cars, tracks and modes? It's robbery at a buck. Buy it, then spend another $2 on the street car pack - you'll save so much money at the beginning to focus on C and B class cars.
