Need for Speed: Rivals {DT} - Drive Fast. Crash Hard. Beat the Police. Repeat.

[Eudemon]

Not really, it's the same as what TDU and TDU2 did essentially.

Wired: I’ve heard that if your Xbox One does not connect with Xbox Live at least once a day, the machine becomes inoperable and you’re not able to play any of the games that you’ve paid for. Is that true?

 

Harrison: I don’t think that’s what was said. Let me try and clarify what is happening. So, there is a lot of anxiety about “what if my Internet connection goes down” and you don’t have connectivity for a period of time. There are a host of features which will be usable without an Internet connection — watching movies, playing certain single player games… all of which will operate offline. We expect most of the more advanced experiences, like online multiplayer games, or games which have a lot of connected features… those games won’t operate if you don’t have an Internet connection. We designed the system to take advantage of a connection to the cloud, and all that that means. But no, it’s not required that you are connected all the time, every second of every day.

 

^ This is what I'm referring to. Sounds like there will be certain basic single player games just like today's stuff (just like TDU), but the new gen stuff may blur the lines between SP and MP even more, and some games may not have a separate SP (offline) mode

[Eudemon]

Nope still disagreeing just to be annoying. :nnnn:

[Ryzza5]

Annoying? You don't know the meaning of the word, sis.

I suspect I'm the only one who's excited about this game:lol:

but it looks very cool, definitely on my list.

[superhyper]

I'm excited too, looks a lot like Hot Pursuit which is definitely a good thing :nods:

 

Wasn't there a thread for this already though? :hmmm:

[Ozzmcom]

was there ? :hmmm:

[Soundwave]

Yep, threads merged.

[Ryzza5]

Dunno, the world and gameplay looks EXACTLY like HP 2010 to me :hmmm:

[Eudemon]

Game is on IGN LIVE now: IGN Live at E3 2013 - IGN Video

[Rassva]

Well HP2010 was a great game.

[Ozzmcom]

:nods:

watched the IGN show, I really like the new multiplayer idea.

more multiplayer features like this will save the game industry from piracy.

I'm genuinely excited for this game I loved hot pursuit 2010 which was my last nfs game and that was brilliant, and seeing the gameplay and car list for this game is amazing and the list of cars is something to love itself :D

[berindea]

It looks amazing, and everyone that played the game pre-release has said that it's definitely the best NFS in the recent years.I'm also very excited to try the game out, and maybe buy it:D.

[Ryzza5]

Alan's gameplay video makes this seem not so bad

 

 

 

No stupid Criterion physics

 

TDU-style MOOR (other online players while in challenges)

 

Good graphics & weather effects

 

Does still look really similar to NFS HP 2010 though

60FPS (I know that above 30FPS it's barely noticeable) on PC on a good rig...That's why I like PC. If it's as optimised as F1 2013 then I'll be having good frame rates with good visuals (I guess)

[Ryzza5]

I've found I need at least 37FPS *minimum* in racing games to drive precisely. As a bystander you might not notice the benefits of 60FPS but I do find it much easier to nail apexes when I've got 60+

[berindea]

The human eye barely tells the difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS, and before you start bashing me, I know what you're talking about, 30 FPS does seem to be significantly less smooth than 60 FPS, but it's because of the constant fluctuation, if the game would be running with 30 FPS with NO dips in performance it wouldn't be annoying for the gamer.

@Ryzza5: The physics still look Criterion-ish, but they didn't include so much 300km/h drifting, the cars now seem to be...well, cars, not boats.

The game looks very promising, hopefully it'll have nice cars, I'm hoping for some low-end cars as well:D.

[superhyper]

I've heard somewhere that every version, including the PC one is limited to 30fps, don't know how true this is as it does at least sound silly :hmmm:

[Eudemon]

I believe that PC frame lock is true, I've seen PC Masters going ape over it. :lol: As for the whole 30/60/120fps debate I personally can play any game at whatever frame rate it moves at but I will notice extreme slowdown BUT it does not completely annoy me or make me think I am watching a slideshow or anything.

[berindea]

Alan from TeamVVV played in on the PC version and said the PC isn't framelocked, while the console ones are.I don't think that's an error on his part, but we'll see soon enough.

[Ozzmcom]

very nice I might get it for pc,

I might still want to get a new wheel first

Exactly! It's the stutters that annoy me. As an FSX user I'm (sadly) used to them in certain situations...
