The only 'net access is through the phone ATM, and its against TOS to use teathering... I won't be able to buy it until my situation changes.
 
Always online eh ? Shame... If they want to add online at least they should do it like Rivals or Most Wanted 2012. That way, people who don't like online or can't play online could still play.

Anyway, they say that they're listening to the fans, hopefully they listen to this stuff about online.
 
Always Online?
Dear Lord they still want money over making people happy with a game...:grumpy:

But hey, at least they finally understood what we want in the first place
To tune the **** out of a car!
And maybe there will be some brilliant modder who will make an offline patch.

I have a feeling that the game can be played offline with an offline mode patch but EA doesn't want to acknowledge that always online is a bad idea.

Will PC have FPS locked at 30 again?

That'd completely kill off the game for me. I luckily can live with the always-online restriction, but 30fps @ PC is not what I bought a PC with beefy parts for - hell, even the consoles should have 60fps, it's a racing game for God's sake!
 
I don't mind 30FPS. As long as it doesn't drop to 20 on PS4 I won't be too bothered by it.

Regardless of whether EA makes the game playable offline, I'm sure that someone will mod the game to work offline.

Just like Sim City. Offline mode (and bigger maps) mod way, way before the official patch from EA Maxis.

The only time they would likely patch it for offline, is when it "expires" by EA standards and there a 10 more NFS games to focus on.

Hopefully that's the case because if they pull the plug on the servers in the future, the Always-on DRM functionality stops the entire game from working. :boggled:

Another thing I don't get is how being forced to connect to a server make the experience better? No game I have played benefited BECAUSE you had to be forced to be online unless it was an online focused game with no singleplayer.

No clue, the only advantage I can find is that it helps the profits of game companies. :rolleyes:

It isn't supposed to make the experience better for the player, unless one believes their PR speak nonsense. It's simply about control over the user and the game itself, how and when he or she get to play and then trying to get that user base move onto the next installment once they've shut off the servers. The benefits are nice indeed, for EA.
 
So I take it I'm not the only one bothered that it'll be an always online thing.

I mean everything these days is connected to the Internet, and I expect it to run like crap for a week or two since that's usually how these online games are. I'll still buy it regardless of whether or not it'll be an online game.

Sure it's on a "as long as the servers aren't eating themselves" kind of way, but everything's like that now, so it's nothing new honestly. GTA Online was a broken mess when it was released, and you still had to be online to play a solo session there so, again, maybe that's just me that doesn't mind this whole deal.
 
ReviewTechUSA just shared his thoughts on this DRM thing, ton of negativity, for a good reason, i must say.


Your choice.
 
From a business standpoint DRM is good. For the company. Not good for their customers. I understand why EA have it, just it's a ****** thing to be included.

This isn't even about DRM, ie. protecting your game/IP against piracy. There's none occuring on the new consoles, as far as I'm aware of anyway. This is just pure stupidity for reasons I previously mentioned.
 
You know EA may think they smart but in turn they are dumb and a bunch of idiots... Because not everybody has Internet and they've just lost out on a bunch of sales on top of people who's not buying it just because of this gameplay implementation... EA will be EA
 
Somehow I hope this reboot ends up a big flop and EA will finally retire the NFS nameplate for good. They can make other racing games after that, but call it something other than NFS. Then they are free to ruin it whichever way they like.
 
EA knows that NFS2015 will be one HELL of a cash-hog. They saw how insanely hyped up everyone was. We were praising EA as the savior at the at point. Seeing how all this hype was going through our minds, an online-only game would probably not fail from a business standpoint since people would actually purchase it either way.

If only they knew that DRM would instantly turn alot of people that were planning to buy the game away from the sale.


Especially if said DRM ends up on consoles.
