Welcome from the Devs!

Hello everybody! We're excited about the release and will do our best to participate in this forum and in online matches!

Yes, the V8 controls do take some getting used to (always have) but once you get the hang of it and begin discovering all the various strategies, trust us -- it just gets better and better :)

A few basic tips to get you started:
  • If your car gets flipped upside down, keep hitting the Left Stick repeatedly either to the left or to the right. Do not wiggle it left-right. Pick your direction and hammer it!
  • Practice power-turns -- press Gas + Brake + steer Left or Right to turn on a dime. This is a critical skill in V8!
  • Please read the 'How To Play' section within Help & Options -- there are a number of useful screens, explaining all the basics and some strategies!

Ahh no wonder my car would flip over SOMETIMES and not all the time.. I was wiggling the stick. Thanks for the tips!!! :)

Love the game, Iso! Cant wait to see what else you have to offer for V8 fans!!!

Microsoft, you made 25 to Life BC, why cant you make Timesplitters 2 or Future Perfect BC? Listen to your community!

I am stoked by this game.  I am more excited to go home and play V8 than I am to go play Fallout 3, and I love F3.  Playing this on the 360 after so much time with a PS1 controller and then a Dreamcast controller, it feels so right.  Controls are wonky, but that's V8.  So much fun, see you online.

What's up Dev Team! Been a fan since forever. I was one of the guys that was sending pesky emails about you guys and your v8arcade website!

 I am sooo happy that the game is out. I am trying to spread the word to all my friends as much as I can too! Here's to hoping I get better at controlling the cars and here's to getting used to memorizing the combos. See you guys online!

Can't wait to get this game, I loved it back on N64.

Psyched for Gears of War 2!
