[AOS-]

Back in '10 that is.

The game looks done, release a demo Criterion!!

^Xbox version! If only he switched to the GT at the end. It's rather annoying that these vids follow the exact same routes as the live demos.

Sarge also confirmed on his Twitter that the 918 is the concept as Porsche hasn't quite completed the final spec. Still an amazing car though I would like some version with a roof fitted.

Both HP2010 and Paradise had demos so....

I'm expecting a demo mid September.

 

[dhandeh]

Anticipation level goes up another notch!

I'm expecting a demo mid September.

I gamble and say beginning - mid Oktober.



AOS, hope you're right though.

 

[dhandeh]

All the recent NFS have had demos, and your xp rolls across into the released game. I expect that to be the same.

 

[AOS-]

They released the Hot Pursuit Demo sometime in September IIRC when the full game came out November 16. They did something similar with The Run with the game releasing on November 15.

In other words, there was a large time gap between the limited-time demo and the release date, so to have the demo release 3-4 weeks before release, if we were to follow the same pattern, would not be likely.

 

[dhandeh]

September demo release gets my vote.

I wonder if there will be any rewards in Most Wanted for owning any of the other NFS games. In the original Most Wanted you got an extra $10,000 at the start if you had an NFSU2 save on your memory card.

Don't recall any mention of, but even so it's nothing you can't gain on your own.

He means the loyalty rewards, The Run offered exclusive cars that can't be obtained through normal gameplay and bonus XP while HP3 offered Cop and Racer bounty points. I'm sure we can expect similar offerings from MW.

 

[MarcoM]

Well, too bad, I do not have The Run, but I do have HP2010. Still playing the later. It's just awesome. The thrill of speed is just very good.

 

[Tommy_861]

I believe Shift 2 offered rewards for having any one of 3 or 4 prior NFS games on your system, as well as playing the demo, so I'm sure that will be covered in this one.

 

[dhandeh]

Well, I have took the plunge and pre-ordered Most Wanted 2012. I do not expect to be disappointed.

We're talking about Criterion here. They've never failed to please people, ever so I'm sure MW will be no exception.

I agree. So far Criterion has been a top quality company. They have not disappointed me yet.

 

[AOS-]

They failed to please people who grew up on Underground

 

[dhandeh]

But there is no pleasing some people. Moon on a stick etc.

 

[AOS-]

Funnily enough, a lot of the dislike towards Hot Pursuit I personally discovered were mostly people here on GTP. I just came to the conclusion these people didn't understand how Burnout worked; a simple dumbed-down "brake to drift; drift to turn" methodology.

 

[dhandeh]

Burnout Paradise is probably my favourite current gen game. I never got bored of it. If people want to bash MW, but it most certainly isn't going to put me off.

 

[AOS-]

That's the spirit!

 

[dhandeh]

Now, where's my bloody demo!

 

[VTiRoj]

Yeah that. I remember getting a Reventon with police livery and an orange Zonda in Shift 2 because I had played Hot Pursuit. I may have to buy/rent/borrow The Run if it means getting exclusive items in Most Wanted.

 

[dhandeh]

I always used to delete my saved game data, when I got rid of that particular game, but now a lot of companies are doing this saved data bonus content feature my folder is getting quire full.

I grew up on HP2 in my early days. I hate Underground.

 

[MarcoM]

I think Underground 2 was quite good for what it did.

 

[Darren.]

I think Underground 2 was quite good for what it did.

I'll elaborate. I hate Underground because I don't like my cars having big vinyls, hydrolics and nyons. I just like simple vinyls, I don't like being punished for my car not having enough appeal from people.

 

[MarcoM]

U2 came at the time I learned about Initial D. So for me driving an AE86 was da bomb.

You do know that stickers make your car go faster don't you?
