Well, at least there's cars on the track.

At least they didn't just throw a map down there and go "Dual Screen Capability "!!
I'm interested in how this shapes up

Yes.
And another one to use filtering on those "textures".
Actually, maybe switching backlight off would do. And frontlight too, just to make sure.
Actually let's just hope you can play it keeping your DS closed.
No, seriously, no need to worry; there's still a few weeks left before launch.
It might always get canned.

This isn't impressive at all. Asphalt GT is the racer showing that the DS has some very nice 3D capablities when it comes to the genre.

Oh and SSX, where are the Asphalt GT pics? I've seen the nGage version, does the DS relerase look similar?

It's looking very impressive.
Looking back at screenshots from PS1 era, DS is actually sharper. So whatever.
I use a tablet for pretty much everything on the PC, including gaming (where it's supported; Halo for instance is ultra-sensitive to it), and I think a racer like this could work excellently if you use one hand for precise analogue control and the other for simple keypresses (d-pad, in this case). The big advantage with the stylus here is that you can keep your stylus/finger steady on a certain position for exact pressure, whereas I always have trouble doing that with analogue sticks as there seems to be a very small threshold between "walk" and "run" in most games.

Christ, just looked through a few of these threads. This is like "remember how ugly the N64 games were?" day.

Considering the developer it's to be expected, but they seem to have outdone even themselves.
Steering seems to use the stylus (And not the thumb). The problem I have with this is if it requires the stylus, your index finger can't be used for the shoulder button and it's more like writing than playing. And worst of all, control isn't dependent on where the stylus actually is, it's how far you scribble across the screen. Need a hard turn? Scribble long strokes.

Looks fucking great. RR64 was one of my favorite N64 titles, and this captures that same aesthetic. I can't wait for this. It better be a US launch title.

That's retarded. I'm sure they'll but in D pad controls though, surely as it's being made by NST who've already put multiple control schemes in Metroid.
What the hell is wrong with NST? They always get it wrong early on, and then the media shout at them for a while and about a month before release, they change things as we wanted.

The game also runs at 30fps (compared to Asphalt Urban GT's 60 fps). Namco/NST should just can the whole thing, it's clearly a rushjob to make launch (the game started development after E3). Let Namco Japan do it themselves, and preferably port Rave Racer or Rage Racer instead....
