Need for Speed {DT} - General Discussion Thread

Even though Ken Block does have the ability to ruin a game, different play styles are really interesting. I'll be getting this on XB1 probably.

[Eudemon]

Eh, why not. :raisehand:

Ok let me see if that thing still works and you can have the honour.

is done as far as I can now tell. 18 cars added.

 

I'm thinking they've gone with their way too arcadey hadnling again, the drifting looks way too easy. I hope I'm wrong.

You can tweak the handling on all of your cars between grip and drift. Choose full grip and by the looks of it the roads are made of glue. Choose full drift and they're made of something slippy.

Looking at the drifting footage the roads seems to be made of glue and glass at the same time. Looks the same as the drifting was in like Hot Pursuit 2010, I really hope it isn't.

Customisation

 

Looks like they're adding 1 article at a time with visual customisation first.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK05TU6Uhko

 

Many many screenshot I can't seem to find for some reason.

The Handling and Tuning section has been lit up now with the run-down on how players will be able to cater the handling to their tastes (it is not a sim remember) and what the tuning options will be and provide.

 

Personalized Handling

Launch control... That just says how much detail is going into this game :clap: I cannot wait any more.

[Ryzza5]

I was only ever expecting a gamepad experience with this title but I have to wonder if they'll add some basic wheel support given this level of detail. I did play a number of versions with the wheel from around MW 2005 to Shift 2. I am a little concerned over what the online experience may end up like though. Will players feel disadvantaged with a more realistic setup and go back to being able to drift at 200mph?

The amount of drivable roads in Need for Speed is going to be twice as big as 2013’s Rivals, according to developer Ghost Games. The information comes from the same FAQ page where the developer mentioned the 30fps frame-rate cap on PS4 and Xbox One.All of the game’s cars will also be unlocked from the get go. You just need to earn enough cash to purchase any of them.

Sadly however, albeit expected, Need for Speed will not support split-screen. Because the studio wanted to “maximise the visual fidelity” of the game and to focus on the full screen experience.

Most recently, the developer announced the PC version of the game will be delayed to 2016.

That's good, rivals was a decently sized map so I'm happy with that.

The needforspeed Instagram is posting from EGX frequently. Worth a check now and again to see what they be showing what players are up to. :)

[hassan1995]

I should go on Saturday :mhmm:

[Eudemon]

Yes, yes you should.

[Eudemon]

Game has gone gold!

 

[TIMELESS]

What does this mean? :mhmm:

[Eudemon]

It's done, finished and off to the printers basically. Ready for international distribution.

[Ryzza5]

They start working on the first patch now.

[Andreas¹]

No delays :yay:

[Camel]

This should help pass 5 days of waiting for Fallout 4 if I have the time to play it much. But what to do until this comes out? :hmmm:

The Districts of Ventura Bay

 

Those screenshots really do convey the feel of NFS UG2's world, and also a bit from NFS Carbon.

[Eudemon]

It appears EA Access on the Xbox One has Need for Speed up and available to download and play right now, a day earlier than was reported.

Love the whole atmosphere, the graphics are stunning and the sounds seem really good too. I just wish... it needs manual. I spent all my time in Underground 2 driving with a manual! *flaps*
