Anybody else playing this?
LOTS of cars.
Drift is what I would call perfect.
Difficulty is spot on too. That last 5 seconds, even the last 1 second makes a difference. Was missing times by .31

will probably get it in a few weeks

dl it last night will give it a go tonight

have been playing it and absolutely love it

the cars are awesome, shit load of em as well.

like zygurt mentioned they have hit the nail on the head with difficulty. the last 10-30 seconds of a race are pretty much do or die. some races force you to take the shortcuts just to win.

drift is one of the best features i reckon. feels weird the first go but you get used it quickly.

although what tops it, is the takedowns , taking out fellow racers or cop cars during a high speed race being followed by cops, trying to get to 1st place is quite intense haha.

don't expect too much traffic in the game however until later in the game, when you have ranked up.

recommend you guys to definitely get it for download or purchase. i have downloaded it just to test it out, although now will probably purchase it by the looks of it, for the online. if anyone else gets a copy let us know if ya go online

I can't wait to be fanging this up, will have to wait until I've moved places though : (

Well I am so sick of these games being released with no optimization... getting 19fps.........with sli all fcked up as usual! Will wait for next nvidia driver then see how it goes.

really 19fps? have you tried the one card mate? what do you get with a single card?

Well tried it with sli off and on 1 core of 1 card rather than 4 and it didnt budge off 60fps with vsync on rofl...work that out! Just a driver profile issue as usual.
Game is fun and the stacks are awesome lol

Installing now. Will give a verdict when tested.

haha glad it worked out cos. just unlocked the supercar events and am lovin it.

Hot Pursuite selling for $39 dollars

http://www.g2play.net/store/Need-For-Speed-Hot-Pursuit-Limited-Edition-2010-EA-Download-Manager.html

legit site, usually where i get my games from

Really 19fps? I've had a couple of times where it gets a bit framey, but that could have been because I was charging headlong into 20 oncoming vehicles.

Pity you can't do takedowns in races, although then it would definately be a Burnout game.

Does anyone know how to add friends based on username? I can see friend suggestions, but they all relate to the people I was racing against online that I added. They were racing from france and germany and it didn't seem to lag a whole lot. Nothing anywhere near Burnout paradise.

A bit of AA would be nice too, but anyhoo, I'm almost done the racer campaign. Well, not gold on everything, but all cars are unlocked. Hyper cars are where it's at.

Another small thing, that they haven't done properly is hidden stuff in free roam. It would be nice to be able to collect stuff in free roam rather than just drive really faster and stick on the handbrake lol.

EDIT: Just unlocked all racer events. 8 hours 45minutes. Still have some to win though. Cop career next. The final race is 70km long, and my first attempt was 13:10. Could definitely go under 13.

finally ^_^ i have to get this game.


Anyone have the nvidia garage demo, do the cars look the same as in-game ?

i heard the garage demo was used to make the cars in NFS is it true?

i forced aa with the nvidia control panel when i was using NFS World beta.....does this game a a free roam multiplayer thing....or just races?

it has a free roam for singleplayer where you just drive, but you just drive thats it. online is races only.

Wow? price just dropped 10 bux LOL.

I enjoyed playing it for 8hours straight with my cousins lol Get's pretty repetitive, I enjoy being the cop. Once you get to the super-cars, that's just it. Gaming Experience is all the same.

My favourite stage was a time trail with a super car on a wet track. Lost with detail, it was awesome! Full speed on a U bend, tapped the handbrake, and power sliding the whole way I go. Beat the gold Medal requirement by at least 15 seconds

when you said supercars you meant hypercars right lol. because the supercars have nothing on the hypercars lol

And the race is the mclaren F1 preview in the snowy mountains right? It does get a little samey, but I'm not sure what else they could have done. Other than the few things that I've mentioned of course.

i fucking love this game ^_^

i dont mind the repetitiveness of nfs games.....i have been playing nfs most wanted not so long ago and the only disappointment wasn't the repetitiveness but the gfx

Yeah the gfx in this one are alot better. Crash modeling is the best feature IMO.....oh and the sound. 5.1 rocks in this game

so wats the story line......?

yeh drive fast and dont get caught lol

shame

yea, would be great if they made some sort of driver game with those cars, its just awesome, love the 911 porche uber fast.

What's the shame in there being no story line? The first patch is out, which fixes stuff like quad core compatibility (I didn't have any issues, but my cousin, whose rig only differs by gfx card, GTX280 (me) vs GTX460 him, and mobo had huge problems and couldn't even launch the game).

I'm happy with there being no story. It's never really been a strong point in NFS and racing games in general though anyway.

Wheres the update located? :O i have a 480 and ive had no problems since i got the game.

i haven't updated and it worked perfect for me....i7 920(all cores) and GTX 275 oc'd.....but for me to really enjoy a game there should be a story line, just as in most wanted and Carbon....

i must say, i reckon the ccxr limited just shits on the bugatti i tended to favor the ccxr over the veyron for hot pursuits. felt a little more durable lol

and yes this is a totally random comment

Post screens plz. Havnt been playn it much since Bo came out. Keen to see these hypercars ESP the cop versions

Borrowed is the termed used

dl

I purchased and downloaded of EADM for $20

Online is pretty fun, busting peoples cars and all lol.

I got a key for my version last night to do some multi. Ad me as friend on autolog you guys that have it FTW_Cosmic.
I had a quick go and the multi looks good, runs well!
You getn it Wounded?

oo i'll add you Cossie

just got the game from g2play.net (thx syler) for $30. it's dling now. shouldn't b to long, dling @ 6mbps

no worries sgt.

tbh, i expected some more variety in the hypercars. theres only 5 in which 3 are koenigseggs, 1 mclaren and 1 bugatti. would have preferred a few more as it is the last class you unlock and you would expect a couple of more.


the ferrari 599 or scuderia would of made an awesome adition to the game. shame they didnt add any ferrari's.

gumpert apollo would of just topped it xD

zygurt be me ingame. shall add you guys. Autolog ain't nearly as good with 2 random germans on it.

so what are your fastest laps on the last race for those who have done it that is? i have set a time of 12:11 however it didnt save. so 12:33 is the fastest i have set.

1 million views on this vid = 3 free DLC vehicles from EA apparently?

For those wanting screens.

Forgive the dodgy quality ones you can take snapshots but they are crap resolution compared to proper photo mode ones. Does anyone know where the original images are stored on your machine?

aren't they uploaded? otherwise they wouldn't have blocked photo mode unless you had an online ea account

Quote:

One of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit's major draws is the surprisingly compelling Autolog social network - but you need a strong community to support it. Will EA be able to sustain interest in the crowded release months to come? Maybe a fresh fuel-injection of DLC will keep you keen. The first premium DLC pack for the hottest racer around will contain a dosing of sketchily-outlined new content, including twelve new events and a number of new achievements. But who cares? We're here for the cars! Confirmed so far are cop and racer versions of the Bugatti Veyron SS, Porsche 911 GT2, and Gumpert Apollo. Worr! Apparently that's all EA feel like sharing, as we haven't got even the vaguest of release windows or price points, but there's little doubt that our resident petrol heads will snap this up regardless. You?

There's a folder on your pictures dir called criterion studios... I think they are saved there..

HOLY SHIT! they included the gumpert apollo! fuck yeh! was wishing they had that hahaha

lol gumpert...what a shit name for a super car, sounds like it should be an old persons vehicle. Looks interesting though

yeh it is a sweet car. i believe its set the fastest lap on top gear's test track. or at least held 1st position for quite a long time. looking forward to this DLC

Cheers Cossie. Yeah I found it eventually. Got Gold on everything last night, with only 3 Autolog times to beat. Needs a fresh coat of paint. Still am yet to hit lv20, but I don't think I'll be bothered. BC: Vietnam will be out before I get there.

Ferrari's in general would be a nice addition.
