User blog:Azelfland/Drift Gate mode

i'm back with the game mode blogs. it's been a while since last time, so let's get to it.

What is Drift Gate mode?
now, we're all familiar with how drifting physics work in Asphalt 8. if you played Need For Speed Underground 2 and Carbon, it's mostly known as drift mode where you rack up points by..... well, drifting. in Asphalt 8, however, you rack up points by drifting through gates. the more gates you drift through, the more points you get. beat the 3 top scores and you win.

Combo system.
in Drift Gate mode, every time you drift through a gate, you get 100 points. drift through a second gate and you get 200 points. drift through a third gate and you get 300 points, and so on. if you miss a gate, however, your combo will break and you'll have to start the combo all over again.

as usual, it's time to tackle the positives and negatives.

Positive: easiest game mode in Career mode.
even if you have a stock Lamborghini Veneno or a stock Ford GT or all stock cars, Drift gate mode is really easy to master. as long as you know what you're doing, it's really easy.

now it's time for the negative.

Negative: in R&Ds and EDDs, drift gate mode is harder than usual.
how does it go from easiest game mode to hardest game mode, i'll never know. what i know, however is that,  in R&Ds, any test that has drift gate mode on it will keep you for really long and some Quality checks will be out of reach to get. in EDDs, however, it's super hard. but on the bright side, they're more challenging than in career mode, which adds to the fun of Deja Vu-ing all over the place. and if you didn't get the "Initial D" reference, i feel sorry for you.

Tip.
In career mode and R&Ds, make sure you've done the drift distance side objective before blasting nitro all over the track. in EDDs, however, you have to use the nitro to increase your chances of winning.

Conclusion.
no matter the kind of event you're facing, drift gate mode is a very fun mode to play in the game. it's always good to Deja Vu all over the track and burn some rubber for 3 or less minutes.

until next time.
