Nova- we had initial D arcade stage a long time ago...i have a card (AE86 Levin) and so does Pie.

Damn...when i went to walmart today to pick up zelda, i saw AM for 59.99 bux!!!!!! i was sooo happy to just SEE it. then i asked my mom if i can borrow 50 bux and she said she didnt bring that much cash. or it could of been the fact that i just bought zelda for 50 bux...so she doesnt want me playing too many games. But i dont even have a GC!! But my mom wont understand...

masking is still not done.......damnit! im too lazy, but i'll get it done for sure.

Yeah, that initial-d stage was old, but it was fun. I'm going to buy a card next time.

They have automodelista on for sale a futureshop for 59.99 on the web with free shipping. I am wondering if I should buy it or if I should wait and just buy it in store. hmmmmm.....

AM Futureshop

Guys...im making a bit vifeo, it should be done pretty soon...got my new comp so I can make vids ande dit them with music and stuff..$$,...updates on this project soon

nrmcj · #**1684** 03-30-2003, 01:19 AM

heh, logged 8 hours of AM in 2 days....

kk well here's my semi-formal review of the game...

Graphics - not as sweet as GT..... there's no shinyness or candy paint involved.. but that doesnt really matter to me.. it looks good... and the cartooney look kicks ass... and seeing ur damn muffler change kicks ass!!!! the replays are pretty cool.... much faster paced, and this time you can PAUSE>...
*watches ralliart's kung fu buddies vids.. that kid could own me*

sounds - you want high pitched, 1.3L rotarty engine scream? ohhh it screams... frickin loud in first person view... the engines sound different... you can sure tell a viper engine from a celica... and so on... turbo whine is done pretty nicely... and wind noise is also noticeable... rain actually makes some noise... overall, the sounds get a 8 from me.. woulda been a 10, but the announcer needs to be killed... "Crash!"...."Why Are you so Bad?!" ... omg..

customization..: slight letdown here for me.... but still, it's nice... only 2 body kits available for each car... mixing and matching works... but it coulda been done better... then again, modelling kits for freakin 70 cars gotta not be easy... and they look good enuf as is... each piece can be painted separately, but no chameleon paint or anything.. just colors. Decals can be used, anything from a toyota symbol to tamiya decals to megaman... or just draw your own! unfortunately, only the hood and door panel decals can be drawn... i THINK... more about the preformance changes: the tracks give you one hell of a lot more tuning that the GT3 tracks.. no longer are you gonna change a setting and destroy your car's preformance... ur gonna HAVE to tune, and it's easy... very easy... and even better: i want BLITZ ECU.. not some crappy Apex'i ECU.... and you can actually do that too ^_^

gameplay: read the thingy review.... IGN... .it's pretty much my thots... cuz dammit! im not used to the driving... but it;s a lot easier to let ur buddies come play cuz it's just plain not as hard as GT3 to not suck.... like, it's a lot less real, you can go banging off walls and still not suck... im not completely satisfied, but then again not angry about it... 7

the rest: im too lazy... way... way... too lazy... like ralliart... ^_^
but one SWEEEEEEET thing to mention is there's a boost meter... bascially no more "when's my turbo boosting?! **** it's not hitting yet.... my inline 4 isnt gonna be able to catch up to that goddamn v10! omg omg... *crash*.... ****.."
basically what im trying to say is you can keep ur eye on ur boost and tune your turbo accordingly... what good is a massive 3rd gear-spooling turbo on akagi? and there's BLOWOFF!!!! omg i canNOT describe how cool it is.... it goes *POOM* and you get the blowoff valve ejecting into the down pipe... to the non-tuners: sparks a la F&F from my muffler..... my HUGE... bomb muffler.. scraping the ground..under my widebody white/black AMC celica... yeeeeeehhh biiitch!! .. ^_^

i know you got questions nova.... i say buy it, but make sure you got money for the network adapter.. .it makes a good game into a timeless, kick ASS game.. and im tired.. it's late.. ask the q's, i'll get around to it 2morro

ralliart · #**1685** 03-30-2003, 12:02 PM

OMG now i want AM even more!!! ahhhhh!

i think im going to pick it up on thursday at WEM. But OMG im sure you guys have seen the rx7 auto modellista cover...right? SOOOO NICE! i dont want no domestic on my cover! i want the rx7....but im sure it wont be released until a couple months after....so i guess i'll buy it right now.

heres a good site for AM

and heres waht im talking about.

ralliart · #**1686** 03-30-2003, 12:03 PM

strakka · #**1687** 03-30-2003, 01:08 PM

*drool.........* i want that RX-7 !!!!! thats one kick ass car!! espcially the paint job......... i think they did the rims a bit to thin....... or is that just me........ cuz i played the jap version and they look thicker

nrmcj · #**1688** 03-30-2003, 02:43 PM

oomg that's sweet.... !!! i want it! lol

ur getting it on thursday ralliart? koo... we can drive around a look for the cheapest place if u want... and im dropping by Southgate anyway... free game with network adapter ^_^

there's a viper on the front of AM... ... which kinda blows it... but dun matter... it's like having and MS box instead of a bit box... i still want the bit box tho ^_^

hmm i hear the intro music for AM.... heh gonna go play

novastar512 · #**1689** 03-30-2003, 02:51 PM

I need this game. Except I can't find it anywhere, so I guess I have to wait a week+.

Hey, I found the network adapter. I also have a Linksys Router BEFSR41 V.2. Does anybody know if it is easy to set up with Shaw Broadband? I have't heard on anyone with a PS2 and shaw, but I hope it works... Any ideas?

nrmcj · #**1690** 03-30-2003, 04:12 PM

hmm u phoned up Every future shop yet? cuz im pretty sure you could find one that carries it... in... calgary... rite?

and network adapter, i have no idea... most cable/ADSL modems look exactly the same... but i dont know exactly how to hook it up... and if it doesnt work im gonna be pissed... lol gotta figure it out b4 i buy it...

novastar512 · #**1691** 03-30-2003, 07:55 PM

Well, I just phoned Walmart and they just sold the last one

Oh well, I waited all week anyway, lol. I am deciding to buy it from futureshop online. I get free shipping plus 5% off, so I guess I'll go that route.

nrmcj · #**1692** 03-30-2003, 07:57 PM

lol, shipping eh? hmm if it's sold out over there so quick, i wonder what the chances of ralliart getting it is.... lol

are you getting a network adapter too?

novastar512 · #**1693** 03-30-2003, 08:01 PM

I think I might, I get 10% off I think if I do, you should think about buying it online since it pretty much is free shipping and 6 dollars cheaper(53.99). I just want to make sure my Network Adapter works and I think shaw works, do you have shaw?

nrmcj · #**1694** 03-30-2003, 08:04 PM

hmm icic... cool, im buying mine on thursday.. possibly wednesday... im on telus ADSL rite now... and since it involves phone lines, im certain it's gonna work... only problem is, dealing with the routers and wires and all that crap...

do you know anything about networking? cuz im not too sure what's goin on... all i know is that im gonna need one hellll of a long cord to reach from my comp to my PS2...

and hey... u wanna join the team in advance? hehe!! it's just me ralliart and pig so far... only one of us have the game tho ><"

novastar512 · #**1695** 03-30-2003, 08:11 PM

oh, yeah, we so gotta have a team!!!

I;m checking on this whole network adapter thing.
1)Sony Online (some installation, and message boards)
2)Xbox Canada (routers that work with xbox live, so they should work with soe)

I'm still debating on whether to get it. Is is worth a purchase and will I still like to play it after awhile?(I'm not worried about the controls). Also is it FUN to play, like drift?
