Downloaded Ubi Soft's Speed Busters demo today. It's available on NGO.

It puts a hole right through the Need for Speed series.

Cool customizable cars that you can crash into pieces if you want to
test the limits.

This game really kicks ass...everyone should treat themselves and
their 3D cards to this nice racer.

Hi I'm new to this type on NG. And I agree with you both totaly. I played
Speed Busters at ECTS (In London) over the weekend. And the game rocks. They
had a version running with a force feedback wheel and it made it even
better. I spoke to Ubi Soft at the show and they told me that it is going to
be possible to design your own skins for the cars....Wooohoooo.
I've now downloaded the demo for myself...

Is it a simulation or more than a arcade-racer ??

Didn't happen to me, and all I have is a wimpy P200MMX w/ a 4MB Stealth II
S220.

    OK, I D/loaded the Speed Busters Demo, installed it and clicked on the
Icon, and nothing happened..........

    I have an AMD K6-2 300 and Monster 3D 1 card, but alas all I get is a
couple of seconds of hard disk noise and nothing else.

    Anyone else struck this problem ?

Can you imagine someone calling a simulation "Speed Busters"?
No, it's a quite entertaining arcade racer with terrible joystick
support.

Yeah, heard something about the K6-2 being a problem, they are supposed to
put out another demo next month with more features and K6-2 support.

The Speed Busters demo sucks because the car controls, either keyboard or
joystick if your lucky enough to figure out how to configure it, are
horrible.  Its either no steering or too much steering.  Anyone agree,
disagree?

It's quite sensitive, but I can handle it. What really disappoints me,
is
the miserable joystick configuration. You can only use one joystick, so
different axis for gas/brakes is not possible. I hope, someday all game
developers realise that PC game ports support 2 (two) joysticks. Duh!

BTW, UbiSoft is using the F1RS engine, why not an enhanced F1RS joystick
setup...?

Can't comment on joystick, I'm using keyboard but I've had a great deal
of success with the game.

I'm power-sliding and zigging in and out between the cars without any
problems besides ones that are noticeably my fault.

In fact, it's one of the few games that I've been able to adapt to the
steering fast enough for me not to lose interest in the game.  I just
couldn't take the NFSIII demo's handling.  Always felt stiff...

The controller issue, re: joystick axis and wheel setup, will be modified
for the next demo and the full version to allow proper setup of wheel and
pedals etc.

Thanks for this info, it's nice to see, that posting complaints in this
ng actually
has some feedback.
