Need for Speed: Rivals

PSN is down but I played for about 20mins on my PS4

IMO it's awesome, feels just like Hot Pursuit. Also one of the best looking racing games I've ever seen.
 
Anybody with Rivals on ps4 and a driving wheel to test out if a wheel works on a ps4

ya I tried my fanatic csr wheel. no go. nfs did not support wheels. it was said in sonys list that if the developers support the wheels they will work. that explains why drive club developer said wheels work.

Yea, G27 is a no go. But having said that, it does not even navigate when I plug it into the PS4 and try to use the d-pad and all other buttons. So for me, its not recognizing the G27 from booting up.
 
People who already play it.

Is it possible to use one repair shop over and over?
I hope not, because it will destroy whole online gameplay (Racer driving around repair shop, almost impossible to kill)
 
I have one question: is there an option for manual transmission? I hated having the most expensive and exclusive supercars with all of them automatics.
 
Thanks guys for the info was wondering about that

If you played Hot Pursuit, it feels very similar just pumped on tons of steroids.
The cars might feel a tad heavier. The more I play the more I like it.
The audio is also really special if you have a decent 5.1. If you love arcade racers it's perfect.
 
Visuals/graphics

This game freaking shines on ps4, i brought my friend over and this is one of those graphics people and he was super impressed and his jaws where dropping as he was playing..c'mon you can feel the weather getting heavier and crazier as you play , like you know a storm its coming and once it hits its super dynamic , rain everywhere ,lighting and crazy winds,leaves flying all the place palm trees swaying like a hurricane its coming it gets dark and gritty.You can even see the water drip on the glass in your car, that water haze after it rains you can see it dynamically drip down..at times i had to stop playing for a moment because the lighting effects are crazy in your face woot too much eye candy.(caught a moment there).

Handling

if you play hot pursuit,its pretty much what hot pursuit handling was trying to be this is more tuned and balanced and fits this game perfectly, because cops are aggressive here and sometimes you have to 180 quick to avoid them, the cars feel heavier but its a good thing because like i said the action can escalate quick specially once you start hitting those high heat levels ,you start getting cops and racers after you for points,ai can be aggressive too trying to push you off the edge and taking shortcuts stuff like that...then there is all drive.

All drive

Ok soo far the network has being crashing a lot so i haven't had a successful session with all drive but based in what experienced all drive starts automatically once you cross path with another player on the nfs network automatically your into all drive with them (6 players max)..but they have their own things so honestly at time there's people all driving with you and they are on a race or a pursuit and all that madness just comes to you its very unpredictable and crazy but awesome!

Alright guys part 2 tomorrow (environments,career,audio)..zzz i'm tired.
 
No, it hasn't been released, though I'm still looking for the missing songs for the site - Craig Sullivan said that in Rivals are more songs than in previous game, but up to today there are about 32 songs at nfssoundtrack.com (so we need about 10 or more tunes to this statement become true) . It would be a lot easier if someone uploads video with game credits.
 
Has anyone got any links to Ps3 gameplay, all that I can find is next gen. I Presume Ps3/Ps4 has the same features but Ps4 has better graphics.

Bumping, its really important >.<

Well the PS3 version hasn't been released yet, so the gameplay has been pretty limited since I haven't really found any current decent gameplay from it that isn't pre-alpha or on different platform.

I believe you can reuse a repair shop. But they are spaced apart which builds tension when scrambling for a repair when you desperately need it. Just unlocked the BMW M3. I'm enjoying this NFS so much more that last years Most Wanted.
 
No manual transmission and Hot-Pursuit-style physics? I wanted to like this game, because the concept of All Drive sounded pretty nifty, but I was hoping for a driving experience more like The Run.

I think what he means is if you can use the same one over and over. Like do cookies around it and keep repairing.
 
^exactly

If its possible, then I dont see fun playing interceptor match where cop and racer are driving around repair shop, nonsense.
 
So, I do not yet have this game but am definitely looking into either waiting until Christmas or just picking it up, as far as current gen goes is this game fun? The thing is since GT6 is coming out 12/6 I'll be hooked on GT6, I won't even look at Rivals xD But honestly, is this game (like I said current Gen PS3) worth buying? I've always enjoyed NFS for what they are, and played MW 2012, The Run, etc. and loved them all, just wondering how it is.

Well, all current gen players don't have the game, due to it's not officially out yet. Only PS4 users have the ability of playing. So as of now I wouldn't know if it is worth buying or not. (If you didn't pre-order)
 
Why do you think the PS4 version was released first? It's a cross-platform game, so it's really just a port of one single version, leaving no real reason, excluding the Xbox One version.

Next Gen has better graphics and a few other minor things, while yes it is cross platform it's not cross play though, so given that ps4 was released and they decided to have the only racing game at launch. While the rest of us have to wait until either Tuesday or Friday.
 
The 458 handles like a tank, but it has decent top end. Also convertibles automatically put the roof when it s raining.
