I am not expecting too much from EA ..

xpertsnowcarver · 09-15-2009, 10:38 AM

Just bought the game for PS3 from wallie mart. Seems pretty cool. Have yet to try the drifting in it. Gonna be hard to match Grid

. BTW, the PS3 is going to need some update. As well as install some game info on the hard drive. Takes a little while.

HyperTek · 09-15-2009, 10:52 AM

i hope its alot better than Grid lol

ILoveMyRHS13 · 09-15-2009, 10:59 AM

After seeing the pictures on Speedhunters, I wanted to try this game. However, I just read this thread and removed it from GameFly because I remembered how terrible NFS' physics are. I'm just dead set on FM3 right now.

LeftNutOfGowd · 09-15-2009, 11:27 AM

I had the game since Saturday and after playing it for about 30 min to me it seems a lot like gran turesmo

xpertsnowcarver · 09-15-2009, 11:40 AM

Omfg! The invitational race with the lotus 111r is so fuckin fun!

Btw, I bought a PS13. Its statistics look like it sucks and its pretty much one for the cheapest cars you can get. Hell no!! That car is awesome! Already Seam-Welded it, Weight reduction, and wider tires! haha. I'm wiping on everyone so far. Haven't lost a race yet

Oh man... EA put this game out when my schooling starts on purpose too.. now I have another distraction I need to avoid..

*DALAZ_68* · 09-15-2009, 11:47 AM

AznDrftr. · 09-15-2009, 11:48 AM

I just saw that... :ghey:

HyperTek · 09-15-2009, 11:59 AM

im typically a nay sayer, but i pissed off my fanboy friend who had this on reserve lol.. Ill have to try it tho . These racing games typically get good reviews considering the reviewers never drove real race cars so they are caught up in the glitz and glam of gaming features with tons of cars and mods and music, then real race sims come around and they give them shitty scores because no music, drift modes or car tuning etc.. lol

BoostedCoupe · 09-15-2009, 12:27 PM

The game is overall ok. its alot like grid except you can mod your cars now. the drifting is hella gay tho, but the normal racing is good. Its nothing compared to forza but its a pretty good game. I have also noticed that the game is pretty short to.

AznDrftr. · 09-15-2009, 12:45 PM

damn i just wanted it for the drifting, thats pretty much it. so dont get it?

yeah pretty much. yu would think since this isnt a simulation that the drifting would be easier and better but nope. drifting in forza and gt4 owns this. the racing is good tho.

xBtony · 09-15-2009, 01:22 PM

Hmmm...Sounds like its just another alright NFS game...i'll still have to pick it up cuz i love NFS, even if they do all suck..HAHA! Even if the drifint is lame compared to forza im sure it will still entertain me..Haha

I'm pretty sure it improved over the years. But Forza and GT gets my vote.

HyperTek · 09-15-2009, 01:43 PM

they blinged out the game way too much
spent more time paying for advertising lol
soaked the graphics wiht high contrast/hdr/lighting bloom to make it look cool

you didnt see forza or GT with promo videos showing cars crashing or flying at you or even drifting. they gave it to you straight.

...have you even SEEN the Forza 3 preview? It's littered with cars spinning and crashing and flying all over the place...

Cheesy Doriftos · 09-15-2009, 01:56 PM

HyperTek · 09-15-2009, 02:19 PM

my race games dont have music, bodykits or drift modes

my games do i gusse. then again mu games use real cars.

wh0aitznic0 · 09-15-2009, 02:25 PM

So, how's the wheel fitment in this game?

Wheel fitment = decision of buy or no buy.

xpertsnowcarver · 09-15-2009, 02:30 PM

When you buy wide tires, the fenders are rolled and flared. They also have overfenders in this

HyperTek · 09-15-2009, 02:30 PM

if all goes well, torrent should finish later today or tomarrow lol

will let u know how it goes with a pc steering wheel clutch & h shifter

***Future240*** · 09-15-2009, 02:30 PM

I am not surprised at all with the reviews about this game. I fully expected it to be mediocre at best. I saw some reviews where they said this is the best NFS in a while, not like that is saying much.

I was unsure about this game till I saw the gametrailers footage, I am not into a watered down GT clone. NFS is dead to me.

rc1honda · 09-15-2009, 02:34 PM

Im surpised no one here has said anything about prostreet. I liked the layout of prostreet. The drag racing was pretty cool, except for people gearing the crap out of the cars and running 4's with a Supra, and the cuztomization was pretty good to. I thought pro-street was the best out of all them. The drifting was ok just took some gettting used to. If this comes out like that it will be playable. But i still wanna get forza.

HyperTek · 09-15-2009, 02:38 PM

prostreet got borring real fast. stupid leveling up bullshit.. you get points for your driving etc lol you keep playing the game in hopes that it gets better when you unlock crap lol

That being said, you need a reason to keep playing - you need to unlock something... If you get all the tracks/cars/upgrades right at the beginning, that's how the game gets boring.

GT5 better be worth the ridiculous wait. Hell, they take so long to model the cars, new models are out already.

I loved NFS2 and Hot Pursuit, they were the shit when I was like 7 years old.
