Strange Cookie Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Konami announces the title we've all been waiting for... GTI Club Supermini Festa! "GTI Club wheel spins on to Wii Konami’s latest coin-op racer heads to new pastures Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH is bringing its classic GTI Club racing franchise to Wii early next year, in the form of GTI Club Supermini Festa! (provisional title). Currently scheduled for a Spring 2010 release, GTI Club Supermini Festa! is based on the latest arcade iteration of the long-running series, and charges the player with racing a series of compact cars around a series of citiscapes across France, the UK, Italy, the US, and Japan. Everything about the game is geared towards searing speed and intuitive handling, with players tussling with CPU-controlled cars or their friends through busy streets as they attempt to be the first past the winning line. Every stage has been designed for total freedom, with secret short cuts to find and steep hills and hairpin bends designed to test the player’s skill. Control is everything, and the Wii game enjoys beautifully balanced control systems that allow users to slide deftly around corners, whiz through extremely tight alleyways to bypass the other cars, and perform handbrake turns to shave vital seconds from lap times. In addition to the twelve cars from the arcade version, Konami is planning to add four more licensed cars to the mix, each offering different handling and acceleration balance. GTI Club Supermini Festa! offers two key solo options, with Arcade offering a straight replication of the coin-op, while the new GTI Quest is a tour of the world, with a series of key objectives. Multi-player elements also play a massive part in the game, with the arcade game’s four-player mode faithfully recreated via a split-screen mode and online via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection’s online capabilities. Online, the game can be played as either a straight racer or as a series of fun sub-games including Bomb Tag and football. Everything about GTI Club Supermini Festa! has been designed to give the player a feeling of sheer speed and total control, and users can also add a personal touch to their car via the extensive customisation features in the game’s Garage section." (Pics fixed - hopefully) Cardboardpeople ahoy! Ah, those lovely grapics take me back to the early DC-days. Just not in a good way. I'm no graphic-whore, but are they even trying? Sure it's based on a old arcade game, but would it hurt to update the visuals just a bit? Edited August 27, 2009 by Strange Cookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pit-Jr Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Im not seeing any graphics in your post. Though i imagine itll look something like the bargain PSN version, except worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) I got the PSN one and didn't really like it. It's not very exciting. Edited August 27, 2009 by Retro_Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The PSN one was was an old arcade racer (which was amaizng and I was addicted to; first game I remember that just had a level to race around rather than a linear track!!) This...I can't see it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This...I can't see it... Maybe I should give it another go. Graphically I'll bet you can't tell them apart! Not any more. I've been blinded. It looks like an ugly version of GT for the PSP.

Retro_Link Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 ^ Yeah exactly, some third party efforts are just absolute fucking jokes!! They should actually be completely ashamed of themselves, and take a bit of pride in their work. This won't sell, there's absolutely no reason for it to... and I'm glad!

Daft Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) MSR - Dreamcast - 2000 Amazing game. One of the two reasons I got a Dreamcast and the only reason I got an Xbox, then a 360. This is the worst screenshot I have seen in recent memory. Seriously, it's N64 graphics.

darkjak Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I think you're all exaggerating a bit. The car models look quite OK, and while the photo textures feel a bit cheap, the game still looks OK. My questionmark is however: WHOM WANTS TO BUY A RACER ONLY CONTAINING COMPACTS?

Josh64 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Even Crazy taxi didn't have paper people. This looks pretty bad and I bet that it won't have online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zechs Merquise Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It does look rather embarrassing. A shame, and even more shameful in the face of some developers like Capcom and EA who seem to really be pushing the Wii in some of their releases.
