ASPHALT 5 for the DROID!!!!

[Sweettooth]

I'd almost say that the game looks "crispy." Meaning that the textures look higher in resolution but more jagged and blocky. I liked the little snow effect while driving and I think the addition of traffic and almost constant nitro is cool; as I mentioned in another thread, very Burnout-esque. It's awesome that more developers are exploring the true power of these devices but it's a shame that currently, it's only a couple. Everyone else is just rehashing the same games (Galaga, Blocked Stone, puzzles, tunnel racing, etc...)

You leave galaga alone!

i can see what you mean. on picture 3 the textures from the hump on the left are blurred out hard after the middle of the screen. on pic 4 the same with the wall on the right. if i look closer, all textures are blurred out after the middle of the screen. i think they did it to guarantee a constant fps rate cause the screen res on droid is about 2,5 times higher as on the iphone and we have the power vr sgx 530 instead the sgx 535 from the iphone 3gs. this horizontal stripes are they visible while playing too or just on the screens? greets.

no they are not visible, if its the horizontal bars that are going across those screens your talking about.

Lol Galaga is awesome; all the other reincarnations? Not so much. Blocked Stone is a remake as well but mToy makes some awesome and addictive games so they get the slide.

I've now played asphalt 5 for my droid and it's not bad but seems as if the iphone/ipod version plays better. Sound is screwed sometimes but I had no lag or slow framerate. With updates, I believe this game could still get a lot better.

to be honest : i like it more then raging thunder 2. you can do so many things in this game. you can change the color of your car on a palett you can add vinyls you can even change the color of your car´s windows ! there are 33 (!!!) vehicles. you can make cop chases or being a cop. the soundtrack is outstanding. and the controls i like too.

graphics are superb. you can make really cool stunts. you can change the view and watching replays of your races. many many game modes. multitouch support. hey hey. its A BURNER. its the best game so far on android in my opinion. will do a review about it this weekend. this, RT2 and exzeus are showing of the power of our droids.

Yeah the vertical chop lines are not visible, that is just how drocap captured the screen. Seems like it does not play well with high frame rates. The game seems to run just as smooth at 550mhz, as compared to 1.25ghz. However, the load times really suck unless overclocked.

Agreed, this game is far ahead of Raging Thunder 2. Sooo much content! Hope they just polish the controls and the 3D mapping.

The stunts a super sweet, especially love the snow jump to roof to second roof to bill board combo. The drifting is awesome too, really like how the brake works.

the fps aren´t that bad. its still good playable. in my opinion rt2 seems to be a bit more laggy. it doesn´t depend much on the cpu on most 3d games. so overclocking dont change much. gameloft have to optimize it better for the gpu. i hope for upcomming updates.

where is multi touch implemented in this game?

 

[MustangGT500]

try pinch and zoom in the showcase on your car . also if you choose just touch controls there is multitouch.

 

[droid d'oh]

Indeed, Also try 1ghz overclock and police chase FTW. This game isn't quite optimized, but works crispy w/ 800mHz and perfect at 1 GHz

Guys I made a Youtube video to show game play for people on the fence about buying it. Please let me know that you were able to view the video.

[adrynalyne]

I bought it. Did Gameloft help you folks out that bought the bogus version?

By the way, I have 220mb free on my data partition. Thats with a grip of apps installed. So I am cool with the game size.

 

[gertman]

Not yet but probably on Mondays they will give us another game instead.

Anyway did any of you guys see they already built in the option of using the d-pad!!!!

 

[MustangGT500]

Yes i saw. Unluckily its placed under touchscreen options so a bit hard to find. Btw gertman does the game lags sometimes on your phone? And do you have oc? With my stock 2.0 milestone the fps are not everytime good.

gertman i saw now your video. and its strange. your asphalt runs smoother than mine. i saw the nexus one video too which lags a lot more as the droid one you uploaded. i will make a video too with my nikon d5000 slr in hd quality. and show some more of the races instead of the cars. but very nice and interesting video thanks.
