Support NeoGAF

[Saturnman]

I remember it being hyped for years in this forum and even seeing some pics of very shiny cars in a Rave Racer-like city less than a year ago.

I just want to know if the goods were ever delivered at one point.

 

[DCX]

I was wondering the same thing, i think it was released but never in the states...which sucks becuase i was looking forward to it.

Yes. Google for "Axel Impact."

Ok, next logical question then: is it any good?

Hahaha.

 

[segasonic]

It's utter shit. Any more questions?

 

[Kiriku]

Hahaha.

Yeah, that made me lol too. The term became quite famous.

 

[Pug]

If I remeber correctly it had poor framerate especially going around certain courses, pop up, but technically it looked nice. I think it fitted into the 'average' racer range.

 

[Drexon]

Yeah, that made me lol too. The term became quite famous.

I was here in those days but I forget, was that term coined here?

 

[ourumov]

Maskrider did nice videos showing the gameplay. It seemed cool but even changing the output options the framerate was not perfect. I have heard that Fafalada alone nealy build the entire engine which makes the job quite impressing (from what I saw in videos).
I thought they were doing the PAL version...I suppose Fafalada can clarify all this.

How do I put this politically correct...
Oh screw it - the new International revision should be the only version that existed.

Google says:
Results 1 - 10 of about 74 for Fafracer

Not bad.

 

[ourumov]

I hope they keep the music from the original release...Everybody said it was annoying but I liked the tunes.

The game looked promising. Let's say they keep 60 fps (well...I think it will be more like 30 seeing how it originally ran)....considering the arcadish nature of the game a solid framerate will improve the experience a lot. Not that I have played it a single second, just judging from what I saw in Maskrider's videos.

 

[Pug]

Actually Faf considering the team working on the game was small, and getting the best out the PS2 requires some effort. Couldn't you have got better quality much quicker going down the Xbox route with the team size you had, or is this just a developers misnomer?

 

[Fafalada]

Yep, afaik that's where it's coming out first this time

I hope they keep the music from the original release...Everybody said it was annoying but I liked the tunes.

Well I'm afraid you're in vast minority there Personally I wasn't very fond of original music either - I thought the intro & end themes were nice, but in-game not so much.

60 fps? Come on, Faf...spill it.

 

[Saturnman]

I'd like to point out that I am not in cahoots with Faf. This was a legitimate question of mine and not an attempt to hype this game even more.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Please tell me they fixed the two-player split-screen. Certain sections of track would slow the engine down to sub-10fps levels if I remember correctly.

 

[maskrider]

I am looking forward to the improved International version. Time is not a problem (unless you are telling me the International version will only be released on PS3), I hope there would be a PAL version since I don't have US PS2. Heh !

 

[Panajev2001a]

Fafracer get !

 

[Defensor]

Oh screw it - the new International revision should be the only version that existed.

I remember seeing the PSP trailer for Fafracer at E3. Are you going to release it for the PSP instead of the PS2 here?

[EmSeta]

What, it was released? And it's for PSP now? Looks good in those screens..

 

[Fafalada]

(Dun dun, dun dun dun)

Although it's not very important, I wanted to point something out
That particular song lyrics are a Korean soccer chant - and it's IN korean, not English. The actual lyrics (roughly romanized) says "Dae Han Min Guk". The meaning is a formal way of saying "Korea", and during the championship it was one of two most popular chants you'd hear a lot
It should explain better why the song doesn't really do much for people outside Korea

Couldn't you have got better quality much quicker going down the Xbox route with the team size you had, or is this just a developers misnomer?

Well maybe, if most problems were development related... I couldn't honestly say that they were though...

I hope there would be a PAL version since I don't have US PS2.

Well the localization and PAL support has already been done awhile ago, so I'd say chances are good

I remember seeing the PSP trailer for Fafracer at E3. Are you going to release it for the PSP instead of the PS2 here?

The version I referred to, is a PS2 game. There are PSP projects in the work, but I am not really at liberty to discuss that yet.
