I play this game when I was in high school and university since I am a fan of the 'Asphalt' series. I even played the game during the pandemic when lockdown measures were in place. But nowadays, I only play that game whenever another Asphalt content creator 'feuerrm' plays casually on his livestream for multiplayer selfie races. Other than that, I just don't open the game. I subscribed to you during the time you were an Asphalt 8 content creator, but with your shift to Asphalt Legends Unite, I followed suit and played the latest Asphalt game more. I kind of feel sad where this 11-year-old game is going. Thank you for looking back on this long-running game.
Let’s not forget, all the teams with unique club logos in ALU (excluding Pro): RpM, UERK, FURY, ReV, LeMans and others all originated from A8. Without A8, there will be no A8 championships (ESL in A8), no team battles, and no legendary players like RpM Alex, FURY Dreams, TheHawtDawg1, Dr. Healusion (for Pro) to carry their legacy Thank you A8 for giving us a great community. Your legacy will live on
I left A8 long ago & it’s sad to see what’s happened to this game, they even removed my favourite song (Over it by The Crystal Method) because the license for that expired too 😭 I have Asphalt 8+ on Apple Arcade & that manages to capture some of the magic we got from old Asphalt 8, no fusion coins, no p2w, even no blue tokens, & it actually gives a lot of credits from racing, so you can actually get the highest S classes like the P1 GTR, Trion & D16 Prototype. Then blasting around Sector 8 or Area 51 or the newer Terra 9 & Orbital loop tracks in the S classes is just nostalgic I wish they’d add the fantasy A8 tracks to ALU (Sector 8 Terra 9 etc)
@saturnsky750s Oh, I didn't know they removed Over It... I have so many wonderful memories of the musics in this game... I wish I could go back to these times...
Oh wow. This game which I had already long forgotten, is now doing this sh!t. I started playing in 2015 or something, and I lost my progress somewhere around 2023. This was when I realized that spending more time on this game would be a really bad choice as it was already going (very predictably) on the roller coaster to downfall. I wish I had quit sooner. But, it was fun while it lasted. Cheers.
It’s sad to see that Gameloft is making A8 more and more difficult to progress with newer game modes, past features being lost, additional currencies replacing existing ones, and lack of any new locations that might bring more players to check in. It does also worry me that the Switch platform before Legends Unite was a decent place to enjoy starting out, even though it was 1 year behind. Back in August, when the info on the update, I was happy to see it finally getting the same support as all of the other platforms, but with the vouchers it has, along with PlayStation, I really hope the fate on this platform won’t be way worse than A8, since this is the platform I started with back in 2019 and had me a small escape from the pandemic.
You're wrong. The game is much easier to progress in than in 2022. With tokens being able to be received for free again, if you save them up you can now get any non-ultimate car in the game if you save up enough and they go on sale, and over the past few months there have been some events such as the cake hunt and the Halloween event where you could get insane rewards. The game is different to what it was in years such as 2017, but it's better than what it was 1 or 2 years ago and I've partially returned to it because of that.
There was a time when I started playing the game again after leaving it for a few years, but it felt really different and dissatisfying. Fusion coins, credits losing their value, and CARS NO LONGER HAVING UNIQUE RANKS made the game feel like a major downgrade from the endless memories it created for me. Then I quit again and came back years later for the second time. Only thing that kept me playing was how skilled I became during that time and my desire to keep my skills refined.
You know, back on November 2023, I got banned (permanently) on this game and it really hit me since I been grinding for two years 24/7 as a F2W player just for it to be lost. Now after seeing this video, i have no regrets. I thought this game had potential ever since i played it back in 2013 when i was around 6 or 7, then replayed it in 2021 ever since i got the free Bugatti Chiron. But now after seeing this, i realized it was a waste of time anyways. Thank you @CarsOnGaming for comforting me for this video made my day!
@@CarsOnGaming i can fully agree, i've been someone that has started asphalt 8 in 2017, back when it's alleged downfall began - since i didn't own most of the cars, i couldn't get a single special event finished, not to mention i wasn't as active in the game as i am with asphalt unite. i'm absolutely baffled you have almost 400 cars when i struggled to get less than 80 in my lifetime of playing the game, tons of horrid changes came to it in the past 6 years including bugs that make the game unplayable and the complete rework of all car stats. this game should have been left in a legacy-like state much like the games before it, rather than - as you said - making it an ad billboard (the menu looks horrible with how much bloat is present on it)
@@ggburnitup4055 yeah been playing asphalt 9 for 4 years now on 10fps and lag spikes and still being able to play S rank on multiplayer , I'm very average;)
This is one of my childhood games and it really is sad that this is pretty much the state of the game. Honestly it might have been better for Gameloft to just stop updating it and leave it instead of making it worse.
everything you said is spot on , however there are a couple of things unite could learn from a8, that is the multiplayer system they use , it is so better laid out and so much fairer than unites system , i keep going back to it weekly just to play mp to get away from unites shambles
Ironically, they, Gameloft Barcelona, developing Asphalt 9 China with adding many great features like Treasure Hunt, Orchid Beauty, and Mastery (also even unique Animated Decals and Nitro Effects), while for Asphalt 8, they added nothing but trash like useless offers and unchallenging way to get most of the vehicles.
Asphalt 8 is so dead I thought "this video was from 6 months ago" because the rest of the asphalt 8 videos are from random third world UA-camrs But turns out this was posted just 6 hours ago wtf😮😮
In fact, some vehicles are not effective in ALU, such as Inferno vehicles and Toridion, there is a licensing problem with these brands, otherwise they would be effective.
I fear that the same fate awaits ALU. Unfortunately, because I love ALU and still play it, but with much less enjoyment than Asphalt 9, 4 or 5 years ago.
Man , the whole reason why I started regularly playing Asphalt 8 Airborne and Asphalt Legends Unite is because of your content ! I have been here since you won the jesko for an art challenge in A8 , but its sad to see A8 dying these days... To be fair , A8 has been dead ever since 2023 , with cars being only available in Tier 15 ( A bad car) and then you need to pay for a good car in the premium tier..... I feel like the game would get discontinued in like 2025/2026 , as nowadays the only things I see is a heck ton of ad offers (you need to watch up to 60 ads per day just to get 2 car boxes) thanks for the video !
Man I remember this game I started playing it back in 2020 or 2021 it was a fun game it was full of players but now it's going to become a dead game I remember that I left this game because a glitch happened in my account and credits were in negative almost to -13 million credits and that's when I switched to asphalt 9
i had just left asphalt 8 cuz one fine day years ago (i forgot which update) it COMPLETELY wiped my data except the paint jobs on the cars rest all everything was GONE.. tht day left me shattered within..
Hoy en día asphalt 8 es un paraíso en donde de forma gratuita puedes conseguir bastante, en especial si juegas con Android. Los pases de carrera y caza de coches están bastante accesibles y gracias a ellos se pueden conseguir muchos vehículos muy buenos. Otra cosa es el treasure rush y los vouchers, eso sí que está carisimo, pero puedes perfectamente pasar de ellos y aún así tener un buen garage. Los eventos están dando cosas útiles y el lanza guante es el modo ultra competitivo. Los grandes problemas son los errores de servidor y los hackers. En fin el juego no está muerto, aún lo juega una gran cantidad de jugadores y no pretendo dejarlo. Asphalt 9 es excesivamente caro y extremadamente difícil de progresar (aún gastando dinero).
Nótese que yo no he dicho que esté muerto, sino tremendamente estancado, hasta el punto que asi acabara el final de sus dias, sin mayores actualizaciones. Aun asi, cuando me fui, al acabar la semana mas de 40,000 personas jugaban la Copa semanal, y ahora son apenas 30,000...con lo que hay una tendencia
@CarsOnGaming te entiendo bro, pero yo lo decía por los usuarios de facebook, ahí siempre dicen que el juego está muerto y esas cosas. Yo le veo algunos años más vida. Mi idea es jugar hasta que los de Gameloft digan "hasta aquí llegamos señores" 🥹
This game really made our childhood epic B)! We all miss the amazing olden gold era of A8 very much. Sad to see its no more:( Now only a great miracle would be able to save Asphalt 8 🌠🌌!
Don't feel sad cuz it's ending, feel happy cuz it happened is something that is painfully true for Asphalt 8, I rmb playing it back in 2013 as a kid and leaving in 2015, only to come back on 2020 to see it go to waste, at least I could still enjoy the game, now it has zero progession for newer players and the game's just repetitive as well. I don't see the game lasting another 5 years with the fact that there's nothing for newer players, people will just leave the game on a sour note. At least we got some drama at its dying stages like ur drama with Aditya lol
Man Asphalt 8 used to be my childhood jam, I had so many cars but when token price change was introduced i quickly realised that this game was going downhill and i lost some cars like the veneno that i owned prior to the update, I've never touched it since and nor do i have the plans to play it again, some fan favourites like the supra and the audis were done dirty and were later removed from the game, I've been playing Asphalt Legends since 2018 and slowly but surely I've been making progress until now ALU may also been expensive but not to the level A8 is now and considering how Gameloft likes to ruin certain brands then that's the reason we don't have latest Audi models
I remember being introduced to the Asphalt series through Asphalt 8: I was at an Apple store, and one of the games they were featuring on their "top of the line" model was A8. Now... shit has gone down. I just pray that Gameloft learns from their mistakes in terms to ALU...
So many memories. I can remember how first garage how the game says you after get out track how events good how couldnt ı play mp,old carrier and more that ı cant say here because ıt will be a paragraph. Anyway ı can remember the first shock of about fusion shit and chancing tune system. I just like where are the cards and boxes and what the hell is that. And after a while ı quit game because of device insufficiency. Not after a long time and second shock happened garage chanced collections removed mastery removed and stupid avatars added. In the final, game lost everyting that making it A8. I dont see there are A8 just same cars and graphics and nothing. However the A8 masterpiece that its icon is veneno is my childhood and its still living in my heart. Sometimes ı am driving with r8 in tokyo, listening old game musics, looking old videos, thinking old special memories and ı will continue to do :)
@@CarsOnGamingI play A8 sporadically. It's good, but after about 20 minutes you feel satisfied. And the desire not to play for longer is due to the lack of attractive objectives and events.
@DRAXz4 well it's still very much possible to enjoy the game in single player Edit: search around on Google and use virus total to help with sketchy sites The download size within the game should be about 1.5-2gb because it's better tracks are included within the initial download, DO NOT turn on your internet while playing the game, it starts looking for updates
Sumando que ahora con la actualización de las recompensas al subir a elite en la temporada maestra y clasica, ahora dan 500k de FC cada una por subir hasta la liga elite, a dia de hoy incluso tener tantas FC, se estan volviendo inutiles o pensar, ahora qué yo hago con tantas de estas? Man, los tokens grises son las nuevas fichas azules, los días de Asphalt 8 ya estan contados, si nos ponemos a pensar, desde la implementación de las FC, fue el comienzo del fin. Ahora esas monedas se estan quedando atras, donde quedó la magia? Donde quedó esa sensación de alegria y orgullo de conseguir ese auto que tanto anhelaba? Incluso los créditos, las clásicas monedas amarillas perdieron su valor, donde antes se podian mejorar autos con dichos creditos, incluyendo que también se podian mejorar usando la misma moneda
El juego es un anuncio gigante, atrás quedó la ilusión que causaba desbloquear y mejorar coches, ahora lo unico que vale es el dinero; pero, como no pueden decirlo asi, usan los vouchers en lugar de llenarlo todo de precios
i was just gonna play the game today but this video changed the way i think about the game. recently its been a month i successfully standed in the game. but this makes me question myself why i did spend my money on the game though. also makes me feel like get away from it.
@@CarsOnGaming my goal is to have an fantastic garage and having fun in the process, thats why i want to play it. also the arcade spirit is a big fun factor too 😅
I still play, though my spending is a whole lot less than it used to be. I don't splurge on Treasure Rush cars anymore as they will eventually be released in way cheaper methods like in Racing Passes and Car Hunts.
Back when I was in China, I used to play this game every single day... I eventually ragequitted and then I think the game was removed from the China app store.
i was a part-regular asphalt 8 player but it all went to crumbles when GL decided to remove my credits and purchased cars from my account, due to a small bug. Now it feels so tiring to just do multiple races to earn -3M credits, so i just quit the game years ago... Now it is in a sad state. Wish GL had a better CC in this case
bro i play this game since of its my childhood at 2015 to 2016, till my old data got reset, so i returned play at 2022 after of 2022 Lunar new year... sadly everything has changed... miss old ui and lobby in a8
@ no no I didn’t want to make it sound like you were trying to make me quit, I love this game a lot over unite, I’m just saying you have a valid point and for some people some game changes people dislike. The game to me is fun but a lot of issues are going on; for example the bugs every frickin update 🤣 like they need to avoid that, they need to implement more laps in multiplayer aswel I miss that feature
New subscriber. Also, I think asphalt 8 is ignored nowadays because I don’t think there is special stuff is going in. Anyway, video was amazingly helpful 😊❤
I think Vivendi is too greedy push Gameloft have to make too much micotransaction I left the game since it have the currency "Fusion" i feel like the Credit now is useless Every new car need token/card/etc... just to upgrade 1 level I have 2 F1 the Mp4/8 and mp4/31 now they are useless now (the nerf) I miss the time where the AMG GT3 Ferrari GT4 Lusso MP4/8 are try to compe who is the B class king😢
i have lots of credits and i was hoping to buy a good car until i realized that all cars are obtainable with either tokens or fusion coins nowadays and i pretty much moved over to unite. this game was what i played as a child and i dont like to see it end up like that but oh well, gameloft is greedy what can we really do about it?
I'm still pissed about that, I understand that some S class decals are special and should be pay for. Making ever decals pay to win is just pure greed.
I've grown from Asphalt tbh now that I also experienced the downfall of it. So I resorted to Real Racing 3 because of the WEC content because I can play offline even without signing in and grind.
Concordo antigamente jogava varias vezes ao dia, atualmente passo 2 dias sem jogar porque o game não e o mesmo, conheci muitas pesoas legais através do game não queria que ele terminasse assim 😢
I started the game 3 months ago and now I have 48 cars on my garage I love the old garage but the new ones is very bad i dont like it it is just boring and the multiplayer is spoiled that everyone only spams 1 car that it becomes unplayable we cant do anything about it its future are on the hands of GL
But to me festivals where S and A class cars re at lvl 15 (free for all) are far better than those RnD, championship, or what not because they just basically giving away free S and A class kings. It might be boring by claiming cars like that but this was a real blessing for F2P players.
@CarsOnGaming Not too new, started A8 since 2017, but couldn't play much due to study, later from 2019 a continuous player. But at the time of R&D and championship I was too newbie to have resources. But now I might enjoy it.
I wonder if vivendi wanted to kill this game to push people to asphalt 9 I sent a thread suggesting that they could just kill the servers and I immediately got banned for nonsense thread
Pues en serio el juego ya se siente muerto yo lo juego nadmas porque mis familiares lo juegan lo juego desde que inicio el juego empece a manejar muy bien enel 2020 y me acuerdo muy bien los contenidos que subias muy buenos la verdad pero en si tienes razon ya todo es pagar para jugar mi hangar se estanco enel 2022 de ay para delante ya no e tenido.

I remember being introduced to the Asphalt series through Asphalt 8: I was at an Apple store, and one of the games they were featuring on their "top of the line" model was A8. Now... shit has gone down. I just pray that Gameloft learns from their mistakes in terms to ALU...
Welcome brother after long time 😊😊😊😄😄😄🎉❤
I don't think I'll be coming back, man
@CarsOnGaming I m very happy you back 🔙 asphalt 8
I still play it, can't let it go..
With "only" 226 cars, I still have some work to do.👈👽✨
@@rullebullerodmule1848 I understand
So many memories. I can remember how first garage how the game says you after get out track how events good how couldnt ı play mp,old carrier and more that ı cant say here because ıt will be a paragraph. Anyway ı can remember the first shock of about fusion shit and chancing tune system. I just like where are the cards and boxes and what the hell is that. And after a while ı quit game because of device insufficiency. Not after a long time and second shock happened garage chanced collections removed mastery removed and stupid avatars added. In the final, game lost everyting that making it A8. I dont see there are A8 just same cars and graphics and nothing. However the A8 masterpiece that its icon is veneno is my childhood and its still living in my heart. Sometimes ı am driving with r8 in tokyo, listening old game musics, looking old videos, thinking old special memories and ı will continue to do :)
0:32 Yooo love the Intro
@@Savageboi_15 That was the one I used to put back when I uploaded A8 videos
@@CarsOnGamingI play A8 sporadically. It's good, but after about 20 minutes you feel satisfied. And the desire not to play for longer is due to the lack of attractive objectives and events.
Y'all should download old apk's, it's been great revisting older versions of the game
ESPECIALLY WITH THE BANGER OST OMG, soooo iconic
most of us dont know how and servers arent functional and its only relevance is multiplayer
@DRAXz4 well it's still very much possible to enjoy the game in single player
Edit: search around on Google and use virus total to help with sketchy sites
The download size within the game should be about 1.5-2gb because it's better tracks are included within the initial download, DO NOT turn on your internet while playing the game, it starts looking for updates
Sumando que ahora con la actualización de las recompensas al subir a elite en la temporada maestra y clasica, ahora dan 500k de FC cada una por subir hasta la liga elite, a dia de hoy incluso tener tantas FC, se estan volviendo inutiles o pensar, ahora qué yo hago con tantas de estas? Man, los tokens grises son las nuevas fichas azules, los días de Asphalt 8 ya estan contados, si nos ponemos a pensar, desde la implementación de las FC, fue el comienzo del fin. Ahora esas monedas se estan quedando atras, donde quedó la magia? Donde quedó esa sensación de alegria y orgullo de conseguir ese auto que tanto anhelaba? Incluso los créditos, las clásicas monedas amarillas perdieron su valor, donde antes se podian mejorar autos con dichos creditos, incluyendo que también se podian mejorar usando la misma moneda
El juego es un anuncio gigante, atrás quedó la ilusión que causaba desbloquear y mejorar coches, ahora lo unico que vale es el dinero; pero, como no pueden decirlo asi, usan los vouchers en lugar de llenarlo todo de precios
i was just gonna play the game today but this video changed the way i think about the game. recently its been a month i successfully standed in the game. but this makes me question myself why i did spend my money on the game though. also makes me feel like get away from it.
Well, I certainly spent a ton as well yet here I am, so...for as long as you get some nice memories it's fine
@@CarsOnGaming my goal is to have an fantastic garage and having fun in the process, thats why i want to play it. also the arcade spirit is a big fun factor too 😅
I still play, though my spending is a whole lot less than it used to be.
I don't splurge on Treasure Rush cars anymore as they will eventually be released in way cheaper methods like in Racing Passes and Car Hunts.
Honestly speaking i left also 3 months ago now it's not fun im in asphalt legend unite now
Back when I was in China, I used to play this game every single day... I eventually ragequitted and then I think the game was removed from the China app store.
another very fast comment to check on A8, its sad the game is just bad rn, RIP A8 o7
@@overdeadzephyr I never got the chance to try Asphalt 7 xd
@CarsOnGaming o7 means a salute, not A7 (P.S: I also never played A7 before, would be down to try if I get a chance)
I stop playing 2 months ago after 10 years of playing.. Gameloft wanted to kill A8 when realised A9..
Now it's clearer, truly
i was a part-regular asphalt 8 player but it all went to crumbles when GL decided to remove my credits and purchased cars from my account, due to a small bug. Now it feels so tiring to just do multiple races to earn -3M credits, so i just quit the game years ago... Now it is in a sad state. Wish GL had a better CC in this case
@@alleliteverizon rip
bro i play this game since of its my childhood at 2015 to 2016, till my old data got reset, so i returned play at 2022 after of 2022 Lunar new year... sadly everything has changed... miss old ui and lobby in a8
I okay this game literally everyday, I see your point, this doesn’t take my interest away from the game itself
@@JJCharpz It's nice, my goal wasn't to make you quit, just to state how the game is as someone who have been playing this since 2014
@ no no I didn’t want to make it sound like you were trying to make me quit, I love this game a lot over unite, I’m just saying you have a valid point and for some people some game changes people dislike. The game to me is fun but a lot of issues are going on; for example the bugs every frickin update 🤣 like they need to avoid that, they need to implement more laps in multiplayer aswel I miss that feature
New subscriber. Also, I think asphalt 8 is ignored nowadays because I don’t think there is special stuff is going in. Anyway, video was amazingly helpful 😊❤
@@AbuTaleb-oh3np thank you for the support
U deserve it 🎉😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
I cant really relate but i can see with the footage on this video it seemed like a really nice game to play... in 2016 😔.
@@Kermits_Ghost it was amazing
I left A8 because it got so repetitive for me, it was just the same events every week and I got bored of it.
@@pastelninjak5864 That's exactly what happened to me, just that almost a year ago
I always play this game during my childhood during the prime but now it feels like nothing
@@flux5039 indeed it does...
I still have it but rarely play it yow back it 2019 was the best but now it's as you said just sad .
😔
☹️
I think Vivendi is too greedy push Gameloft have to make too much micotransaction
I left the game since it have the currency "Fusion" i feel like the Credit now is useless
Every new car need token/card/etc... just to upgrade 1 level
I have 2 F1 the Mp4/8 and mp4/31 now they are useless now (the nerf)
I miss the time where the AMG GT3 Ferrari GT4 Lusso MP4/8 are try to compe who is the B class king😢
I remember this game was very popular when it got released, now its starting to be a dead game right now.
Fusión asphalt 8 with asphalt xtreme please
Hecho mucho de menos el viejo asphalt 8 😢😢
@@Ivan-zy8sc yo también...
i have lots of credits and i was hoping to buy a good car until i realized that all cars are obtainable with either tokens or fusion coins nowadays and i pretty much moved over to unite.
this game was what i played as a child and i dont like to see it end up like that but oh well, gameloft is greedy what can we really do about it?
I have a ton of credits and nothing to spend them on. Decals would be nice.
@@zikemdg I bought all the decals that were available by credits before Gameloft changed them to vouchers, that's why I have less credits than fcs
I'm still pissed about that, I understand that some S class decals are special and should be pay for. Making ever decals pay to win is just pure greed.
After they nerfed am vulcan, i quited the game
@@theflysavage4879 It's been some years then
I've grown from Asphalt tbh now that I also experienced the downfall of it. So I resorted to Real Racing 3 because of the WEC content because I can play offline even without signing in and grind.
@@WEC_Connoiseur I never liked RR3 tbh
Concordo antigamente jogava varias vezes ao dia, atualmente passo 2 dias sem jogar porque o game não e o mesmo, conheci muitas pesoas legais através do game não queria que ele terminasse assim 😢
If this is the direction that gl decided with a8, then I feel like it would have been better if they just shut down this game already ngl...
sad
I started the game 3 months ago and now I have 48 cars on my garage
I love the old garage but the new ones is very bad i dont like it it is just boring
and the multiplayer is spoiled that everyone only spams 1 car that it becomes unplayable
we cant do anything about it its future are on the hands of GL
Is there a chance to loose the cars that we have purchased with money or tokens in ALU, the same way it happened in A8?
@@esxxso I have no clue, but I wouldn't bet that they won't suffer the same fate they did in A8
A8 now is just lot of waifu avatars 💀
And boring stats
@@cheahkhaishien8108 like yours rn lolol
And yeah it’s just p2w
@@cheahkhaishien8108 in a way, yes
But to me festivals where S and A class cars re at lvl 15 (free for all) are far better than those RnD, championship, or what not because they just basically giving away free S and A class kings. It might be boring by claiming cars like that but this was a real blessing for F2P players.
@@rhk45278 Maybe you are too new, but in terms of experience, the R&Ds/Championships basically gave the game a meaning
@CarsOnGaming Not too new, started A8 since 2017, but couldn't play much due to study, later from 2019 a continuous player. But at the time of R&D and championship I was too newbie to have resources. But now I might enjoy it.
Bro we want you. Please come back to the asphalt 8 😂
@@Khan-Tm-Tiger5 This video is exactly why I don't feel like it's worth coming back
@CarsOnGaming 😢😢😢😢
I can say the same about asphalt 9
Well, Asphalt 9 no longer exists, so...
I wonder if vivendi wanted to kill this game to push people to asphalt 9 I sent a thread suggesting that they could just kill the servers and I immediately got banned for nonsense thread
@@CephVoid lmao
i have played A8 hardly cuz it is so boring lol
why does every car in A8 go 508 kmph? if they all go the same speed then how do i know which car is better?
@@-_Broken1379_- depends on the acceleration, handling, speed recovery
Back in the day i have spent so much hours playing this game. I was making millions of credits in a month.
@@adipuiu5603 Same, man, same ...
