Auto Modellista

Well, it seems this should be shipping tomorrow. I just thought I'd start an thread for it, seeing as I should be receiving it on Wednesday (along with Night Raid)

Anyone else Psyched up for it?

I anxiously await your impressions, as I decided to sell my Japanese Ps2 to find my modded Xbox.

Took a hit for the team, eh?

I'll try my best to wade through the Japanese, as I read none...

Not remotely excited. It's gone from a proper arcade racer with cel-shaded gfx to just another GT3 wannabe.

Qua Qua Qua? Its not an arcade style racer anymore? It doesn't try to control realisticly does it?

Z-roe

Yeah, I've heard varying reports on this now and they are more leaning towards negative news like that above. Initially I was going to get this game right away, but after Jojo's PS2 I realized I could wait and pick this up for cheap on eBay in ... two months, probably.

A lot of it would be lot on me and anyone else that can't connect to a Japanese server for online purposes, and that is really supposed to be what makes the difference ...

It got a 9 7 7 7 from Famitsu.

I'm forseeing a lukewarm response at most. I'd like to be wrong.

Ack, if it's just GT with cel-shading, I'm gonna have to pass. Sadly.

It's nothing like GT3, unless it's changed alot since the E3... where did you hear this?

Gamespot says it handles like GT3 more than Ridge Racer now (things like the power sliding), the cars are real, the locations are real, you can customise the cars in depth, only 6 cars on the road max etc

And since when have Capcom ever done a decent racing game in the last decade? I have a feeling Auto Modellista will be shit, the change of direction is sad. A Ridge Racer style game with cel-shaded gfx would have been just what the doctor ordered. I'd love to be proved wrong though but the Famitsu score is discouraging.

Damn it! Arcade racers = great fun. Sim racers = Zzzzzz.

Why would Capcom do that?
