The dev diary video offers more insight behind the creative process.
Asphalt 8: Airbornepromises synchronous and asynchronous multiplayer, several game modes (Gate Drift, Infected and Takedown), eight brand new maps and a bunch of vehicles (including Lamborghini, Bugatti, Zonda, Ferrari and Mercedes), all spiced up with non-stop high-octane action.
According toGameloft:
Asphalt 8 features 8 all new maps from the Nevada desert to the city streets of London, plus a bonus revamped Monaco track for our A7 fans. What I really love about these new tracks is the impact the environments have on each race.
Yes, there is snow. And dust. And rain! Hydroplane through the water-soaked streets of Tokyo after a heavy downpour or slip and slid across frozen tracks in Iceland. And each map features a host of alternate routes to explore and conquer.
According to anApp Annie survey, Gameloft was the App Store’s top games publisher in June 2013 and second top publisher by monthly game downloads on Google’s Play store.
So, what do you think?
Is this going to be the bestAsphaltgame yet?
