SPEED BUSTERS demo

14 posts by 12 people · 04 Sep 1998 - 09 Sep 1998

To all of you who are tired of playing simply unrealisitic racing games, Go check out the Ubi Soft Speed Busters demo (available on NGO). I downloaded it this morning and it's excellent. You can really crash a car a and make some major damage to it. Graphics are great and the music, well selected. Give me some news about it.

I was really curious, and while the graphics are quite good, there it was again: the famous "Oh my, joystick ports are too complicated, so we can't support all possible axis for user input..." Instead of using the paddles on my GP1 for gas/brakes, I just deinstalled the game... l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Time limit is a bit frustrating. I understand that it's only a demo but with only 1 track and limited selections in the Options do they think we aren't gonna buy it if they give us unlimited time? Almost frustrating enough for me to delete it but it runs surprisingly well on my old P133, Voodoo1, 64MB machine. Getting a new machine next week and I'm eager to see it run on that. But that darned time limit...

>To all of you who are tired of playing simply unrealisitic racing games, >Go check out the Ubi Soft Speed Busters demo (available on NGO). I I'm tired of playing simply unrealistic racing games, and Speed Busters added to my frustration. A new version of POD, whoopee. F1RS is so far the only good racing game from Ubisoft. I'm amazed all the other driving games from them are such simple crap, like POD, Redline Racer, SBusters etc.

I gave up trying to play it because the time limit and my P166 is too slow. Also the cops dont chase you (I guess because it an early demo) but you hear their sirens. NFS3 is better for that. I like the Nice 2 demos better. Nice 2 demo limits the cars available to drive so I have been trying to select the Kart or F1 car by changing the Auto.in file but the best I came up with is a Fiat that does 265Kph and I race against the F1, Kart, a monster truck and another fast Fiat at the same time. dsr74 :-) To all of you who are tired of playing simply unrealisitic racing games, Go check out the Ubi Soft Speed Busters demo (available on NGO).

> My T2 works just fine with it. Pedals and > all. I know, no surprise here. The T2 is a joystick with 2 axis. Any racing game supports 2 axis joysticks, but 4 axis is REALLY complicated, obviously... l8er ronny snip -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

I very often whine about the bad joystick config in most games/sims on this ng. But I rarely get responses of people feeling equally. Is that silent agreement, or is the majority playing with 2 axis joysticks? If I'm the only one complaining, they will definitly not think about enhanced controller configs...not that I would overestimate the impact of this ng! ;^) l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
