Re: The Run - Car List

Since the carlist is supposed to be small, dont go ballistic with GT3 versions(see Shift 2, GT3 R, GT3 RS, GT3 RSR, god knows how many variations of those), instead just put in the newest, fastest possible GT3 RS, and thats it. Use the spared space for more actually different Porsches, maybe a 959....

Re: Need for Speed The Run Preview at IGN

I guess it was more like "overtake them all within a distance limit" than a real race, most of those cars were not as fast as the GT3, except the Lambo, and maybe Lotus. Probably that, but it could also be that when you start the race the last few cars to overtake are already through a qu...

Re: Need for Speed The Run Preview at IGN

Graphically it remembers me of Hot Pursuit. Looks very good, I like it. :) I hope it runs well. As for the driving, again it remembers me of Hot Pursuit but without the drifting. I agree with you in both cases. The driving does appear to be semi-realistic just like Hot Pursuit and the fact that the...

Re: Need for Speed The Run Preview at IGN

I do like that the game doesn't just take place in a city and that there are some other different environments too. Although I think that the jump was exaggerated a bit. Hmm...i like some of the cars, especially that car, it looks similar to Firebird for me, but im not sure as i haven't seen many of...

Re: I WANT UNDERGROUND 3!

I guess everyone wants an Underground 3. Maybe what could work would be taking the best bits from Underground 1 and 2 and then just putting everything on a bigger scale. Possibly even taking a leaf out of Midnight Club's book and bringing in licensed body parts. And for those of you who're wondering...

Re: World's new ideas.

I have to agree with all of you for the car prices. They are just ridiculous. In the end all it does is add in another thing to just grind endlessly for along with levelling up. It could be that EA thought that it (the game) would be too easy if car prices were like previous offline NFS games so the...

@ElvenAvenger, I really like the Rosewood park loop but discontinued racing on it for the sole reason that people always crash into the petrol station, more than often getting me stuck there with no way of getting past it, giving them an unpassable lead. I think it needs to be removed. Or you could...

Thanks Bojan.

The important part of the post (for PS3 users) is where it says that Criterion are working to bring Logitech wheel support to the PS3 version of Hot Pursuit.

Maybe but using wheels in this game seems...funny... Unless it is the added challenge that you seek. Well not exactly. Certain reviews of Hot pursuit have mentioned that HP has some similarities to the arcade racer OutRun (even Bojan's article mentions it) in which you used a steering wheel for dri...

Re: Hot Pursuit Launch Trailer

Well Burnout Paradise supported the Logitech Driving Force Pro, Driving Force Ex and the G25 on the PS3 so I'm surprised there's no steering wheel support in Hot Pursuit as I was expecting it.

@HAvoLutiOn: Maybe you have a steering wheel which is not one of the three given above?

Autolog could make or break the multiplayer depending on how its used, but that's Criterion's tech right? One thing that automatically disqualifies Shift vs any GT game or Forza is carlist. Its just tiny compared to what they have. Unless it's the rumoured car list in which case it will still be sma...

Re: First SHIFT2 Unleashed Screenshots

I really like that now they'll have GT1 and GT3 cars and the RTR-X too!

They might be reusing bodykits from Shift as in this picture you can see the M3 E36 has the same bodykit that it had in Shift (after Works tuning). That isn't necessarily a bad thing though.
