Glad I'm not a Porsche Fan, but what do you expect Crapterian Worked on this game, there are many realistic details they couldn't be bothered with, especially with that dweeb Craig Sullivan running development. Next Game Ghosts will be on there own, things can only get better creatively, hopefully a return to the Hot Pursuit PS2 & UG-Carbon with way better balance between Sim/Arcade Handling than they've had in the past 3 years. Either Way I'm buying this for 360 tomorrow,+ trying to trade in enough titles to guarantee my GT6 on 12/6 from Gamestop.

You're not giving Criterion anywhere enough credit. They brought this series back to its origin & nailed Hot Pursuit. I didn't like Most Wanted because of the handling physics, but others did, so it obviously did very well in many other areas. From people saying this handles similar to Hot Pursuit is enough to regain my interest back into the series & I'm not going to let a few things the terrible engine sound of the CGT keep me from trying it. That's something that can easily be patched if Criterion takes notice.
Things could be much worse & back in a repetitive gameplay design if Black Box was working on NFS still.

While yes they did bring back to it's original set but they didn't really have to put a bit of burnout style in the game though. Although it was fun they could of just eliminated the "takedown" camera deal and make it a bit more "better" as in not hitting the brake to drift.
Also if engine sounds are messed up well it's not like its the GT series where everything has to be 100% accurate. It's considered an arcady racing game for a reason. (Not a simulation)

Yes, this is an arcade racer, but this doesn't mean that they shouldn't make the cars as real as possible, and engine sound is an important thing. And what's really annoying is that EA have the exclusive licence for Porsche, and they can't even model them properly! I know this can be patched, but still, it's annoying.

My PS3 copy came in the mail today. Looking forward to seeing it compares to HP 2010.

This game looks like a lot of fun (I miss burnout paradise) but I am really undecided which platform to get it on, PC or PS3, graphically it would be a lot better on PC obviously (I have a good machine) but I am sure that a few weeks after release there will be a lot of cheating and with it being 'always online' I am wondering how that would impact things (besides all the various 'speed cameras' and times in general being 0.01 seconds I am sure), I am concerned about perma-boost indestructible racers showing up and ruining things basically.
If anybody bought the previous NFS game on PC last year, how was it from a cheating perspective? I guess this is a case where getting this on PS4 would be the best platform (since there would be no cheating, and graphically it'd be as good as PC) but I am waiting until next year to get one so that's not possible atm.
The game releases today but I haven't seen any online reviews yet.

Well I found out that the box doesn't say custom soundtrack so I guess that means no good music.
Edit: Even though the box doesn't say custom soundtrack after fiddling with the stuff and whatnot you can have your own music. PS3

if you got the ultimate cop car pack from preorder it unlocks all level 2 upgrades. I got the same trophy on the ps4 version. I checked all my cop upgrades were unlocked after I put the code in for the cop pack. GameStop bonus
I was wrong on the nfs app. I thought I could interact with all ps3 and ps4 friends on the app but to do that you need both ps3 and ps4 nfs rivals to interact on the app.

[url]http://www.pictureshack.us/images/23406_RedviewCountyMap1.jpgWell isn't like we've left the island of repetition completely this was definitely a retread of Hot Pursuit/Most Wanted with enough new ideas to keep it interesting for a short time, but I was presently surprised when I got the controls in my hands its very smooth, if you didn't know who developed the game you'd swear they left the drifting out completely. They made it so seamlessly easy/natural compared to hot pursuit/most wanted its almost non existent in some vehicles.
Gone are the Forced Drift on a swivel Physics of Hot Pursuit, they're still there but there layered over a much improved steering responsive/low lag affair with a decent heft to car the steering lag only starts to bite @ extremely high speeds. I'd imagine it gets better as you upgrade the cars, the tier system is completely gone in lue of Heat levels on racer cars. I'm extremely surprised by how well it turned out, with Frost Bite 3/ Ex-Criterian @ the Helm its Definitely Pretty although not 60fps.
So u can't go wrong by recommending this to anyone, oldskool nfs vets or underground ppl, there is a fine balance and slickness to physics in this vers. that wasn't in hot pursuit 2010 @ all. I'll give you that! extremely shocked by this latest iteration of Need for Speed.
8.3/10 I'll leave off 4/10ths of point till they fix the server migration issues and after we see how the dlc(Rumoured La Ferrari Included) turns out.
Great Job! Ghosts

I cant believe i said this but Rivals are so much better than HP2010. At first when i saw the demo i thought the cars will handle the same as HO2010 but im glad im wrong. You are no longer have to drift in every single corner like mario kart, imo there's certain lines that you have to take in order to take the corner the right way, the cops are scary when tou get to higher heat levels. The cars are awesome thought i wish they put all the cars in both factions, i want to race an agera so badly.

Its Beautiful, on XB360 I would assume the same for PS3 to a certain extent they wrestled every last ounce of power out of current gen with FrostBite 3, it isn't without hitches on any platform. A few small frameratedrops in certain areas or parts of the map world or environmental glitches here or there but the pinnacle of NFS on current gen its 5x better than last 3 games considering all it does.

I have the PS3 version and I think it's a very good game. Nothing feels like it was half-done.
I'm actually starting to like this better than HP2010. Rivals takes the same concept and excecutes it better, in my opinion. I actually feel more like a cop in this game for example, because the game gives you more freedom in the career mode and you can pursue stray racers if you want. Probably my biggest complaint with HP2010 was that while the game did have free roam, there was nothing for you to do in it.
