What is it do like? Reviews seem very mixing
>>11994729I've not played it, but I know that various versions are very different from one another. For some reason the NA and JP version has different handling and traction. stylistically I think it's meant to be Capcom's answer to Ridge Racer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=289n9OtboHohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf0Dpwd04t8&pp=ygUgYXV0byBtb2RlbGxpc3RhIGphcGFuZXNlIHZlcnNpb24%3Dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFZtV1lIg_8&pp=ygUmYXV0byBtb2RlbGxpc3RhIGFsbCBqYXBhbiBjaGFtcGlvbnNoaXA%3D
>The Japanese version of Auto Modellista features tighter controls, while the North American version has a drift-based control scheme and includes additional cars and tracks. However, the US version is often criticized for its floaty handling and overall difficulty compared to the Japanese release.So sadly there's no one perfect version.
Game is unfun.
>>11994729I played the US version and I thought the controls were actually very interesting. You kinda tap left and right to lock your car into various turning angles Didn't play twice though, I'm not big on racing games
>>11994729sadly the handling sucks ass in both versions and it feels like the tracks are not made for either of them. I really want to like this game but the fundamentals are just horrible.Reminds me of NFS 2015, everything about that game is great other than the handling (well and the cutscenes) but if it's not fun to drive it doesn't matter.
>>11994729>What is it do like?The toon shader.The only other car game with a toon shader is GT Cube and its sequel GT Pro. Which are basically clones of Auto Modellista, down to the UI.
>>11994729I heard about how badly this actually feels to play, for like 20 years. I FINALLY, randomly decided to give it a try a couple weeks ago, and it's just as bad as people say. It's straight unplayable even, which is weird coming from Capcom, and also a shame because it looks so appealing otherwise.
>>11995562Are you talking about original or US tuned?
>>11994729I've never played this, only heard about how bad it controlled. So what the hell was Capcom thinking releasing this game with such horrid controls? Was there something everyone wasn't getting that the developers never told anyone about?
>>11994729It looks cool, but the actual driving kinda sucks dick
>>11994729Its beautiful to look at but handles like shit. The worst racer you'll ever play thanks to the fucked up controls.You could spend 2 hours adjusting the car and it would still handle like shit.They tried to improve it with a special version (I think for the GC?) Where they adjusted it but it still handles terribly
>>11994729good graphics, good music, bad everything else>>11994785>For some reasonpeople complained the early release version was too easy. so instead of tuning the ai they just made every car handle like its on ice. and the game is still easy anyway.
>>11995741US PS2.
US Tuned is good.Good drifting control.
>>11994729More fun than any GT
>>11996128Some opponents in US Tuned are much faster than their counterparts in the original release, but the AI gets fucked by the handling and physics just as much as the player so it neutralizes the intended difficulty boost.
