DS #2410: Evolution GT (Europe)

[cosmiccow]

Yes finally a new race game

It doesnt matter if it sucks i like all racing games

EDIT: Screenshots here : http://www.dsworld.nl/artikel.php?id=4339 its NL but you can see the pictures

aren't these screenshots and those from page 1 the same? (from the same game at least)

i think the reason why most racers for ds suck is because the developers/publishers want to go for a realistic look like on consoles or pc. but the ds simply cannot do such a thing.. they should go for a completely different art style.. like speed racer. yes, speed racer was kinda ok.

They don't look the same to me at all. The screenshots JPH posted look like a horrible generic waste of time. The screenshots that 333 (9?) posted look like a game where the developers put some real effort into it.

from JPH:

from 333:

i think its the same tacho and same track view.

No they look identical.

So, Speed Racer was nice? gonna give it a try.

 

[Destructobot]

I didn't look at the HUD at all the first time I looked at the shots. They are clearly from the same game now that I look more carefully. The second set of shots definitely makes it look more interesting though.

Speed Racer was nice ? No it wasn't, Speed Racer was great

Mario Kart and Race Driver: Create & Race are the two best racing games on the DS, GRID should be good once released. Speed racer wasn't terrible, but wouldn't play it too long.

 

[Mangofett]

How can one system fail so hard at racing games? The DS has one good racing game and two halfway decent ones. Out of 2409 releases, that's pretty pathetic.

which ones? mario kart? and?

I guess it depends on your taste in racing games, but for me the two halfway decent ones are Juiced 2 and Speed Racer.

Asphalt Urban GT 2 sucked.

GT 1 was a lot better, in fact I really liked it...

 

[Destructobot]

I'll have to give that one a try. I think AUGT2 came out right when I first got a flashcart, so I never bothered with the first one.

AUGT2 - was better than the first one, I played that to completion and unlocked everything. Very underrated game IMHO

 

[NYCvinster]

I'll echo what Destructobot said, Juiced 2 and Speed Racer are also my favs

 

[MADKATZ99]

awww, still no grid

Im really looking forward.

Theres plently of good racing games on the DS, I know they could be a lot better, but I still had fun with
NFSU2
Prostreet
Race driver was awesome, but no one was ever online..
carbon
ridge racer wasnt too bad for a launch game, pretty average nowdays
mario kart
and diddy kong racing

The ashfelt urban games felt like crap to me.

This game looks utter crap like a first gen ps1 game... And Speed Racer is a fun game game with pretty good graphics. Also I really like Asphalt GT2 was a great fun game that I constantly play. Mario Kart and Create and Race are also good as well. The need for speed ones was not all that compare to what I mentioned... O and ridge racer ever now and then I play it just for the hell of it.

MKDS was great until snaking ruined it for online play, besides being (IMO) too damn cutesy. I didn't really care for the NFS games.....a couple were OK, a couple royally sucked. Race driver is VERY nice for what it is and what it's running on, but the turns are hard to see coming. Asphalt 2 was decent, but not great. I personally hated DKR. Speed Racer was a blast and I consider that my favorite racer currently on DS (Race Driver is 2nd).

I feel that most of the other racers on DS aren't even worth mentioning.

This game.....I don't know, it just doesn't seem fun to me. The sense of speed seems to be missing. The sound blows when hitting other cars.....a kind of a stuttery sound which is just annoying. I saw cars disappearing and reappearing in front of me. It has a sort of a upward-crawling kind of graphics pop-in that for some reason annoyed me. The A.I. will just slam you out of the way if you're in their driving line. Turns seems kinda hard to see coming sometimes and I didn't seem to find a way to kick the ass-end of the cars out to slide around the corners forcing you to instead slow down to where the opponents just whiz by you.

I don't know who is spamming the rating at the top of this thread, but it is anything BUT a 100% worthy game. More like 60% at best. To me, this game is an "el delete-o-matico".

The DS is less powerful than any of the first generation consoles. It caps out at 2048 polygons per frame with 60fps for a total of 122k polygons. The PS1 could do twice that, and the N64 3-4x that with improved microcode(i.e. . You just aren't going to get DS games that can match 5th generation console games, the DS isn't powerful enough.

Anyhow, if you ask me, the limitations aren't the graphics, it's the controls. The stylus is sloppy for a racing game, and the D-pad doesn't allow for more than 1 degree of input in any given direction for obviously reasons. You really can't make a good racing game without some kind of analog control, either a wheel or an analog stick.

This game does have the exact same HUD & game engine as Corvette Evolution, not sure if it has the same tracks or not, can't remember. It was suppose to be an entirely different game developed by someone else but it isn't.

Looks horrid, plays like crap & DS can do much much better.
