the Apex magazine

[whatbrown]

Or could the cars they show in the book be only the premium cars?

No. Almost all of those cars are carried over from GT4 and we know for certain that the R8 LMS cars are standard.

If this is a test page we are seeing, it's obvious it's going in the Apex book. Noone has mentioned the dimensions of the pages. They definitely match the Apex book and not the coffee table book. I really hope we get a full list in the Apex book. I know there are alot of other people out there that would like it to serve as a checklist.

 

[XEPEGTP]

No they aren't. The US one is said to have 300+ pages while the EU one says 200+. One is said to be a book while the other a magazine.

That's cuz in the States they say Books instead of Magazines, if you ever sold them you would know. Not saying magazines ARE books, they arent but thats how they call them.

 

[eSZee]

Actually, I was wrong. It just calls it a guide and not a book on the US site. Still 300 pages vs 200 pages. When is that being cleared up?

 

[XEPEGTP]

Well the cover of Apex says Magazine, maybe it`s a marketing thing and there will be several issues, maybe a subscription?

Packaging looks awesome, I have to wait until the 4th of November to get my hands on a copy, but I wouldn't get my hopes up for another magazine! 👎

 

[eSZee]

I don't know why it didn't hit me before but it just did right now. The apex mag is the same size as a PS3 game box. That's one stubby, fat book.

 

[hardvibes]

I wonder why it is 300 pages for the US version but 200 pages for the EU version

 

[shirakawaa]

Bigger font? Because in the USA bigger is better.
Dunno.

According to the Japan region official website the APEX book contains...

Chapter 1：Driving Techniques　
Chapter 2：Mechanism　
Chapter 3：Tuning & Settings　
Chapter 4：Photo Mode
Chapter 5：Course Index
Chapter 6：Car Index

Thanks for the Chapter Index 👍

This book is going to be an interesting read.

 

[dem1980]

This book seems to be interesting, but it will be in Europe in english only ? Or it will be translated for others countries ?

 

[RAVELLRON]

I wonder why it is 300 pages for the US version but 200 pages for the EU version

probably more info about nascar....

Thanks for that info, I was wondering what I payed a hundred bucks for. I'm happier I ordered CE now, the content looks very useful.

 

[Revelation1115]

chapter 3 will be the most useful chapter

 

[okami11408]

Why there're two DB9 ??? premium and standard ??? the same car ???

 

[FlourescentBlak]

^Why there is, thats interesting.

chapter 3 will be the most useful chapter

I hope it's the longest.

 

[okami11408]

I think PD may separate premium and standard car, so if we use standard car, opponents use standard car too. Premium and standard car won't be in the same race. (I haven't seen in any videos.)

 

[unit-one]

Those DB9's have different manufacture years.

 

[FlourescentBlak]

Best I can make out by zooming in via ctrl+wheel is a 2004 and a 2000 but I could be wrong.

 

[Rob192005]

They are 2006 and 2010.

 

[Punknoodle]

Does it have markings on that page as to whether a car is premium or not? I can't see any...

 

[FlourescentBlak]

Neither can I, The color coding on the left looks to be drivetrain though.

 

[Rob192005]

Thats correct.

Green = FR
Orange = FF
Blue = 4WD
Red = MR
Turquoise = RR

 

[terminator363]

probably more info about nascar....

 

[McMicka]

I ordered the Collectors Edition, and I'm getting excited just over the prospect of this book/magazine thing.. I'm a total noob when it comes to car mechanics, this will hopefully help!

 

[FlourescentBlak]

Premium and standard car won't be in the same race. (I haven't seen in any videos.)

I would say you are wrong. That just dosn't make sence.

 

[Falango]

Those DB9s look like they are 2003 and 2006 to me.

 

[mykem]

I wonder why it is 300 pages for the US version but 200 pages for the EU version

Because for the US it's in both English and Spanish. For example for the Canadian version, it will be close to 300 pages due to being for both Anglophone and Francophone.

I would expect to find most of that information in the standard manual .

Those DB9s look like they are 2003 and 2006 to me.

I think it is 2006 and 2008. It makes no sense to have 2003 and 2006, because they are the same exact car, however, the 2008 model has been updated. But then again, the BHP values are the same and GT is known for repetition of similar cars, so I don't know . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_DB9#Facelift
