y played this before, is a free game, have 5 versions, i like all them, but it will be just one game? all in one?? cause i see pictures there in the night, and any of the 5 versions has a night track

I Really Dig the Look of the Roads, while moving, on this one!

This game looks really beautiful!

i will love this one, looks really nice, and i think it has the asphalt engine and looks like NFSII SE, i will love!!

where can i get the demo ver??? the demo that its available in the page its the old ver...

Very nice controls, the graphics need to be improvement a little bit (my point of view), but this runs too smooth on my Fuckia and that is awesome

How can be used the asphalt engine??? It´s not free!!!

The graphics looks like NFS Hot pursuit on PC, I think, it will be great, but only on powerfull phones. but I haven´t

Do yo have K750 ?, i think this can work well n your device, like i said, this run ok on my oww mine, and that is admirable Lol, you with a K750 maybe, almost sure, can run this without troubles

Yes, I have K750 and K320(there games run better, because it has smaller resolution, but image of display is horrible) . It can run good, as for example Fast and Furious Fugitive (good FPS, unfortunately small RAM on my phone), it has good engine. But for example Juiced 2 3D has extremly horrible engine. Very bad graphics and it run very slow !

So what, we will see, I hope, there will be the graphics settings in the game

Yes sas, just wait, how i told you, tyhe game runs very fast, it run on my N73 !!!!!!, with that reference come on, you dont have way out , is like a miracle Lol

@Pirat; 240*320 is there ?, i need this

i mean that the game has an angine like the asphalt engine, but its not the same of corse, i will love it!!!, insist, where can i get the demo? i saw in the apetrus page the NEXT link, so i think they could share the demo with us or not?

PS 1: i was watching the trailer and WOW, this dude could create a racing game in a city like nitro street, but muuch better, with a lot of buildings and all that, and the best of all is that the game is in java and will be compatible with my fuckia 6131 (i know it cause the other versions worked on it)

PS 2: wich game use all symbian resurces?

Hi, its me - A.Petrus Let e comment some issues:

1. Minimum requirements.
Almost all screen sizes are OK (176x208,176x220,240x320 and bigger).
Final JAR file will be about 1.3-1.4mb (current beta version is 1.2mb).
Memory size - during racing about 1mb is used, but when resources are loading more memory is used. I have nokia 6680 and noticed that its better to run with at least 5.5mb of free memory.

2. Porting for lower models. Some models (e.g. some siemens) has JAR limit and lot of models has heap limit.
There will be light version without music and sounds (btw I plan to add sounds in racing like engine and crash..but it'll slow down race a bit) and with smaller textures.
The matter is that textures are the heaviest resources (in mb) and JSR184 supports only textures with size power of 2. So if now textures are with maximum resolution 256x256 then I can reduce them only to 128x128 or 64x64. Thus size will be 2 times smaller, but picture will not be looking good...but playable

3. Engine.
I've never seen code of Asphalt engine (how would I get it?)
I started developing own engine in summer of 2006 year!
And there are lot of differences e.g.
Asphalt - uses two 2d background layers
HS - uses cubic panorama
Asphalt - there is simulation of car physics (steering, crashes, drift)
HS - realistic (as possible;)physics - you can turn car 360 degrees, drift depends on speed and tacho and road surface (road has different surfaces e.g. snow, sand..). There are calculating of different forces which influence on car.
Asphalt - AI.. um...AI as AI... And seems no traffic
HS - oh..they are smart Sometimes I cant win! Plus traffic - trucks and so on.
And seems lot of other technical differences.
I like Asphalt! It's cool and sometimes I play it. Gameloft are good guys Just they are bit company which has no much time to develop game, so they make as much as they can do in certain time limit.
But I have no time limits So I make, remake, reremake until I really like what I've done.

4. About demo - it's not public yet - only for publishers. When some publisher will be interested in game - I'll make it public. Just if at least one site will put it public now - next day it'll be in all Internet.

5. Fuckia 6131
If old demo is running OK, then final version (with new tracks, with lot of building) will be also OK. Even a bit faster! I've optimized lot of things.

6. Yesterday I've tested on SonyErricson devices.. It has some problems with JSR184 implementation. Sure it's playable, but some problems with rendering alpha textures. But its not a problem because I also plan to make MascotCapsule version specially for SonyErricson. As I know MascotCapsule is even faster and graphics is better then JSR184. So maybe it'll looks nicier then on some Nokia devices.

Uh, seems finished
Best regards and special thanks to NEXT team
A.Petrus

Wooow, fantastic news! I´m going to have a chance to play it on my K750! I´m satisfied, you have in mind, that not everybody has powerful phone. And if you will make Mascot Micro 3D version, your game will not have a competitor! I´m looking forward to next news and the game of course!

PS: In Asphalt 3 3D, there is a traffic, but not so much. And physics in Asphalt is really bad, I hope, you will make it better

Hi, nice to see you , or i must say read you

1 - Great !, i like big games, but, that could be a problem for some Fuckia devices, talking about memory heap (But.. (3) ).

2 - In the beta version that i have tested i can see that, the game is so faster, this is because the memory consumption is too slow (for be a 3D game, it is), great, just that.

3 - Some Fuckias have the same memory (heap) limit, but, its good to know that you are thinking about make an special version for those device ; about the sounds, well, sounds are cool, but sometimes this can be a problem like you say, i just hope you can find a smart solution for this without make damage to the gameplay (speed playing)

4 - Hehehe, thegallo is an Asphalt Fan

5 - Enough time for grow up

6 - True, there is a lot of car (traffic), its good that difficult level

7 - Yeah, is easy and "smart" make all games as soon as possible, dont matter if you gonna release crap games, dont care about the time, just release something ; i think the time is not a good excuse, they can have more guys developing good games, is just that they "are in the peak", many times when you are in that level you forget the important thing, quality.

8 - You are in the heaven

9 - Nothing to say here, Mascot rockxx

Good work sir, waiting for the final release

hehehe im not an asphalt fan, but i liked the roma level, anyway its great to get u here apetrus, welcome, i have to say that is really great to say that u are just one guy making a great game, while gameloft make crap games (time limit or whatever) and there are a lot of programers and testers, i hope to get the full game when i buy the g900, and hope too that u will make mor egreatest games dude, you, sony ericsson and mascot capsule rulez!

EDIT: Look this!


hehe i saw it this afternoon, its great

hey, u know what would be reallt great??? bluetooth multiplayer mode
