Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit by Criterion

[Ryzza5]

Far up or far down? :nuts:

[pyrre]

I still can't believe any of you fell for this crap. Every NFS game sounds like heaven before release. God only knows how far from a 5/10 this will actually end up being.

 

Shift sounded excellent before release and after release it still was, imo... :p

[Ryzza5]

I wonder how many (if any) complained about Shift's physics being too realistic (compared to all their other recent games being pathetic).

[carlos_69]

Me.

It is almost impossible to play with a keyboard.But i did play it just becuse i got use to it in Grid.

Don't write it off too quickly. You should really wait until you play it or someone does a proper review before you put down a whole series of games just because they went for a different angle in some games that you might not like.

[carlos_69]

Yeah Tom you rigth. Just like when NFSMW went out most people hated becuse i didn't had many tuning features as NFSU2. But then the same people started to like it becuse the pursuits, like me.Like i said in another post the pursuit in MW is very fun becuse you can do stuff like U-turns, Stop the car and then when the cops are almost catching you set off and other things.

I still play Blur with the 360 gamepad, so all is not lost yet. It's an arcade game, and arcade games are temporary - maybe they do that on purpose since they know they'll have a new game out in 12 months.

Though i'd say, but at my local GAME there having a pre-order bonus of 4 cars! The Audi TT RS Coupe, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the Porsche Cayman S!

 

So this at least tells us what the range of cars wil be!

[hpluls]

Over here, if you pre-order the game you get a code to unlock all the cars, and... that's it. :fp:

I was pretty infuriated about the delay of TDU2, but now I'm a bit happier:

Actually, make that a lot happier. :D

When i first see that, i though "thats actually quite good"..but now i see its bad, it takes the fun away of unlocking the cars and it means that if lots of places are offering that, online wil be filled with Veyron driving N00bs! :cry:

Nice New shot! Thankfully with Criterion games making it, it will all be the latest models of the cars! Rather than updating them every so often!

 

Also though i'd shair this pic with everyone.....

I'm dreaming about this game. I loved HP2, and now, Criterion is re-incarnating it! :eek:

 

I hope the handling stays similar to the NFS series, although i would probably settle with something closer to BP. The Dev's at Criterion said it it going to be more realistic than paradise, but not full on sim...

I recall a Dev saying someone who plays the game for 2 minutes will be able to drift at 150 MPH. There goes another NFS.

It's still more realistic than BP where you can drift at 300 MPH :thumbsup:

[Rai06]

Well Burnout was more fun,it never said it would be sim, and more importantly, more eye candy. I still can't believe I spent money on Undercover. Worst. Investment. Ever.

[calster17]

I'd much rather have handling like on Paradise, rather than somthing like some of the NFS games(mainly Undercover), where it feels like your driving boats, lumbering around everywhere!

 

Also i don't ever recall any NFS's(appert from Shift) ever trying to be a sim! As long as a Muscle cars can't turn corners and Sporty Copues can, and Supercars are best of both...then thats what i'm happy with in a NFS game!

Anyway's, though i'd post more pic's here.....

NFS2 had 'Simulation mode', and NFS Porsche was sim-ish

[T0M722]

Looking forward to the game. GT3 RS picture on the previous page made me happy. But I am worried about that drifting at 150MPH quote though :confused:

[carlos_69]

Well if the game devs make the handling similar to BP i will be happy, but remove the thing that when you break the car starts drifting. I hated that thing in BP.

 

yeah NFS Porsche was sim-ish. I the present i still think that that is a hard game play with out expirience. it was Eden making it rigth?

[Ryzza5]

You'd think after playing car games for 10+ years we'd get the hang of it by now and could handle more realistic physics :cheeky: (not everyone has, I know).

[carlos_69]

Yeah what i was saying is that if a person is going to play the first time it will be a little hard. But then with practice is going to get easier.

Nfs Porsche was my first car game i played.

[Jusmar]

^^ same with me..Carlos! I still love it because of the fact that you had to pick Individual parts for your car so you could get an edge by way of tuning Specific parts not just a nice shiney lv3 slider.

[carlos_69]

yeah. I too remember that option.And if you crash you had to pay for the repairs.

Also the Factory Driver was a little hard on the beggining.

[Eudemon]

New shots and they look good as would be expected.

Ooo, they look rather tasty. I'm actually considering getting this game even though I don't know anything about it at all yet.
