I can truly apreciate a racing game with nice control/physics, and snappy graphics, but I'm super excited about Auto Modellista's cel shaded graphics: http://www.capcom-europe.com/automodellista/
I bet there's some reviews of it already, but that link should be enough to give a taste of it's own.

dcharlie at TFP didn't like it. Said something about it feeling "rushed".
Here's hoping that they improved it for the North American release.
It does indeed LOOK cool, but it sounds like there is too much required cutomization for my tastes.
No way. I know next to nothing about the technical side of cars, I've been playing the Japanese version for months and It's been a breeze to customize the cars. It's a LOT easier then Gran Turismo, I'll tell you that :)Quote:

I wasn't excited over the US release at first, but ever since Capcom decided to make the game more about drifting (Like it should have been in the first place!) and less about grip racing I've wanted it badly.
Heres hoping that all the cars come intact. Some new ones would be nice...but nothing beats souping up the Trueno to take on your friends WRX :lol:
"THATS NO ORDINARY EIGHT-SIX!"
Thats good, interest + 20.
I was worried about the game once the word got out that the JPN version was more grip than drift. However, the word that the U.S. version will be tweaked to be the other way around has me really excited.
cant wait for it
its the game i bought my network adaptor for :)
Shit, I'd totally forgotten it'd be online-enabled. Looks like I'll be getting a network adapter then.
Speaking of which, is it Broadband only? Don't tell my they screwed us poor 56k users. We've suffered enough.Quote:

I'm in the beta test for it. Here are my early impressions:
It tries to be too much like Gran Turismo (at least the beta tracks did). You could actually tell what GT3 tracks they pulled the sections from. That affected my game play because too many times I felt like I was playing GT3 with cel-shaded cars and the handling felt wrong. The cars didn't feel like they handled that well.
The game does have a good selection of cars - including many of the same cars from GT3. The beta test only has 3 tracks. There was very little lag as I raced. Because there were not that many people in the beta, I couldn't find any races with more than 2 entries, so I don't know how it would handle with more cars.
I was not really impressed with the game, but it is a beta copy (so the final product could be better). I just didn't like the direct attempt to be a cel-shaded GT3 - I prefer GT3.
Just my initial opinions.
Thanks for the insight there, Cybr.
I dont care much for this game since I hear Capcom basically just ended up making a GT3 clone with cel graphics. The new emphasis on drift is nice but if the gameplay engine is still pants, its still pants.
Im hoping that for the inevitable AM2 Capcom realizes the absurdity in making a "realistic" driving sim with cartoony graphics, and makes a balls-to-the-wall blazing arcade racer, not unlike PGR or Ridge Racer. After all, isnt that the type of game we all thought this would end up being when the first shots came out?
Oh yea, make it for Live too.
It plays like GT3?! Booooooooooooo! Thats just plain bad news, Sale -1. I really dislike the Gran Turismo games. Cell shading won't save it.
I also dislike GT3, looks like I'll give this puppy a rental before I take the purchase plunge.
Puppy Purchase Plunge? Sounds like fun, count me in. So how many are we getting, 1,000? I don't think I can eat that many, but it will be fun trying!
Drift = excitement level growing.
At first I totally wanted this, then all the lackluster stuff I read about it kinda killed my intrest.
The stuff about the gameplay tweaks has certanly piqued my hopes again...so we shall see.
I don't care for GT3-style gameplay, and the NA version of AM I tried a few weeks ago seemed somewhat more playable than that for me. It's still in the same neighborbood, but I enjoyed it.
I roar at GT3 style gameplay...and I roar at the fact that VW GTI's are always getting the short end of the stick in tuning games...at least throw in a Corrado. For anyone that has played it, do your cars have a insane amount of customization options? I just want a game with full creative control over how your car looks, I was hoping this would be better in that area than Tokyo Extreme.
I was excited until I read some of the replys in this thread. I was hoping for a nice arcade racer ala Ridge Racer, but I guess I'll probably pass. I've hardly scratched the surface on my GT3 game, I don't have the energy to start another.
Then Auto Modellista is definetly for you. You can add spoilers, bumpers, tires, rims, those whacky things on the bottom-sides of the cars that make it look lower, stickers (Which you can edit in something like MSPaint), full color customization, pretty much everything. It's pretty fun =DQuote:

Can you say anything about what US cars theyve added to it or anything like that?Quote:

i understand if you cant cause of NDA's and such
I had a chance last week to play the Japanese rev and the only thing i would have complained about was the lack of drifting so since thats being put in im way excited about it
