Need for Speed: Most Wanted (by Criterion)

[Guest MrLolololXD]

still hoping cockpit camera...

 

LOLOLOL

 

The last street racing NFS game to have a cockpit cam was over 10 years ago now, I think it's still pretty unlikely in a street racer style NFS game at this stage

 

An in-car cockpit view is more for a sim game where the hardcore style sim people want the most realism possible. As much as I would love one, I just don't see why the developers would see it as such an important thing in this style game, especially since the target audience is way different to Shift etc.

 

 

On another note, I might go down and preorder the Limited Edition of this aswell today. :mhmm:

[Ryzza5]

Not counting Shift 1 + 2 I think the last one was NFS Porsche 2000. Now that really says something.

 

Or did ProStreet have it? I can't remember because that was such a hateful game to play.

[iNotACactus]

ProStreet didn't, was crap even in that respect. :lol:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Prostreet was awesome...

 

[Ryzza5]

ProStreet had then-good car model graphics (shiny) and good clutch pedal implementation, that was pretty much it. Game ran slow even on fast computers and physics were weird.

NFS Porsche 2K was the last to have all cars equipped with cockpitview. NFS6 however was the truely final main-series NFS with a cockpit view, the console version is said to have one careermission in a 360 with cockpitview.

Yeah I remember that. I seem to remember a BMW cockpit aswell?

[Ryzza5]

I can only comment on the PC version. The PS2 version was quite a different game as I recall.

[CLR-GTR]

I also had the PC version but I remember it being mentioned often that PS2 version had it. It was an awfully basic game, all the standards that NFS3, 4 and 5 built up were destroyed by the lack of detail and all-round bad execution of NFS6's gameconcept.

:phil:

[superhyper]

^Saw that a few days ago when it was posted on the NFS Facebook page. Online mode looks awesome. Gimme the limited edition for the price of the standard one (like they did with Hot Pursuit) and I'll preorder it.

[calster17]

I saw that too when it was put on there FB page, all I can say is Hello Paradise 2! :cheeky:

[superhyper]

Paradise 2! :cheeky:

 

And that's exactly why it looks awesome :nods:

[Deniz070]

i cant waite for this game. the questions is can my pc run it so not i have to buy it for xbox 360

[RobikV3]

Looking forward to this game i hope they give the best supercars like in HP 2010 i loved the car list and i`m happy they got rid of that drift handling

 

@Deniz070

here are the system requirements http://www.nfscars.net/article/view/1110.aspx

[Ryzza5]

lol, I haven't checked system requirements in ages probably because of online purchases. These days the only time I do check sys req's is to get a gauge of how good the graphics might be in cheap games (the higher the req's the better). Sometimes you'll see great graphics on the box art but if the req's say you only need a 256MB graphics card then you know it's fake.

 

Interesting how it says recommended "DirectX 11 compatible with 1024 MB RAM (NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 or ATI RADEON 6950)" since my older GTX480 is DX11 card with over 1GB of RAM).

[The Compensator]

I don't have a DX 11 GPU and my memory is only 768 MB. Seems I might end up buying a new GPU. :(

Or the game might just be very poorly optimised. :hmmm:

[calster17]

One thing's just dawned on me regarding DLC.

 

With Burnout Paradise they were releasing DLC over a year after the game came out, and updated every few months. With NFS:hot Pursuit they only did untill NFS:The Run was announced.

So I'm guessing this will be the same as Hot Pursuit and only get until the next game is announced.

[calster17]

BAM

 

Again here's another game's pre-order bonus:

 

-Speed Pack: The Caterham Superlight 500 in the exclusive Satin Black livery, featuring the Track Tyres Modification for improved road handling, and the Lightweight Chassis Modification allowing players to reach mesmerizing speeds.

 

-Strike Pack: The Mercedes Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series in the exclusive Satin Black livery, featuring the Power Pack Powertrain Modification for an engine tuned for torque, acceleration and the ability to reach breakneck speeds, and the Re-inflating Tyres Modification making it easier to survive and counter rivals’ attempts to slow players down.

 

-Power Pack: The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor in the exclusive Satin Black livery, featuring the Reinforced Chassis Modification for taking increased damage, and the powerful and violent Nitrous Dump Modification for making tight jumps and powered-up takedowns.

 

So that's 2 new cars named!

Fun how the Caterham & Atom are going to be in, and at the other end of the car scale we have the Hummer H1...

[Ryzza5]

...the Re-inflating Tyres Modification making it easier to survive and counter rivals’ attempts to slow players down...

 

Hope it's only police cars who have spike strips. I didn't like how racers also had weapons in HP2010.

That's been announced since the game was announced at E3 ;) Though someone would have said about it on the forums though?

 

The cars for pre-order & in the LE are not exclusive to them, it's the special paintjob and upgrades and 'Early access' to them that you get!

[Ryzza5]

The preorder fine print says preorder codes (for power/speed/strike packs) expire October 3, and that PC players must have an Origin account to unlock them. If they think I'm going to install Origin on my PC they can jump in the nearest lake. I've heard that software phones home with information about what you have installed... plus it's just totally not necessary for the purposes of playing a game.

 

Guess it'll be the X360 version or nothing. I won't be preordering it though.

[superhyper]

^ I'm sure there will be way more players on the Xbox, as well as all the DLC will be sure to land on it :p

[Ryzza5]

There's probably also more kiddies online on Xbox, although I guess at least they won't have any trainers.
