Already released. International version MIA?

 

[DCX]

It was released, at least import wise...rumors it was coming to PSP...but it never came out US. Maybe for PS3

The international version probably got lost in the sea of other mediocre racers on PS2 and never found a publisher.

 

[chinch]

all that PS2 hype (here from Faf back in the day) and they never released his game in the USA shelves? What a shame.

was it a sim, arcade racer or what?

what is the non-fanboy concensus on the playability of game vs other drivers?

personally speaking, unless a large publisher had you under contract, a driving game would be the last category of choice for a small development house.

what was the final name? axel impact?

In all fairness, Faf never hyped the game. Others did. Looked nice in screenshots, too bad it turned out to be teh suck.

 

[chinch]

he hyped the PS2 - probably sold a few thousand for Sony back in the early days given the traffic here. LOL.

With the lead programmer of the game wasting hours upon hours everyday at a gaming messageboard, what did you expect?

 

[neptunes]

Still hope for the psp version?

LOL. I always assumed he was a younger "grunt" programmer trying to bolster his persona online... no "lead" guy could waste such hours while being productive.

International verison is still coming out in the US. Not sure if it's playable at E3 though but it'll be at Take-Two/XS Games section I think.

In all fairness, one person alone doesn't make a game...

 

[chinch]

can anyone answer the question as to what type of driving game it was... simulation, arcade, ???

Simulation racer with fake cars? You surely jest.

 

[ourumov]

It was an arcadish racer. I never played it but saw the videos Maskrider did. In them you could see how crashes were really well done and the GFX were pretty good. However the framerate was bad.

Actually he really is the lead, otherwise he'll have no time to spend hours online.

Oh, he's hawt too, I'd suck him off anytime!

 

[DCharlie]

perhaps we could snowball him ... again?

You out-grossed anything Singh has said in the past 2 years just now (well unless I only heard his mild stuff :lol) .

gotcha. how was the bad framerate explained, given the superiority the PS2 provided? :lol
