Need for Speed: Rivals

[Need4Speed685]

Anyone here has the current gen version of the game? If you have, is it bad?

Picking up my PS3 copy today.

 

[TJ13]

Level 15 or 16 on the cop side. Annoying cops that end up busting my racer and taking my SP!. I'm currently playing single player to get a feel for it.

So, it's basically Silver Lake from Burnout.

 

[TJ13]

Just finished up the first run through on the cops side. I have to say that it was a bit easier than I thought. With the right car and equipment you can really go to town.

So, it's basically Silver Lake from Burnout.

Note that the Snowy Mountains section and the Desert Section are blurred out and the topographic features. There may be an expansion DLC like in MW 2012.

 

[QuikSlvr223]

Is it true that cars can be found in the environment? I only played for about 20 minutes (not counting those horrific tutorials), so I didn't get very far in terms of exploration.
Side note: I hate how you unlock things by doing races, but just driving around with other people is so much better.

 

[Niyologist]

Yup. Definitely going to have my copy by morning.

Yeah, to bare the bad news, no more cars through discovery in this world. ppl wanted sense of progression so u grind on the racer side which will be a highstakes affair online because the higher level cops are gonna grief you or the cop which can be pretty uneventful @ times after you get the game controls down but no where near as is frustrating, when using pursuit tech properly or the right car type for each event. so if u want easier route through the game do the cop...

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Knife Party - EDM Death Machine
The Qemists - No More

Oh sweet Jebus.

Knew they had to have No More but EDM Death Machine? That's quite a surprise.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

I'm really enjoying the cop career. The part where you have to bust 10 racers while you're in a normal Ferrari Enzo is the most fun I've had in the game so far.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

How's the game on current gen consoles?

 

[TJ13]

Playstation is streaming live on their twitch tv NFS rivals.

I am running Current gen and I have notice a bit of lag issues mostly loading the world. Although I have a fat ps3 though so might be part of the problem there. Other than that after 4 er so hours I have 40% done with cop side.

Hm...

 

[TJ13]

I don't expect them to be high end cars or even worse 5 bugatti's for everyone to use. :/

WHOA WHOA, Didn't you say don't trust anything with out pics? I don't see any pictures....

(Although to be fair those packs bar traffic seems likely )

Jesus , do we have to start this "war" every single time? :/
I never said that I believe in that rumor, I just posted the source from the guy who found it.

 

[acetuner]

Just reminding you.
Anyway most likely for DLC:

LaFerrari: (Racer) new Ferrari, was in interviews before mysterious dissapearance
Gumpert Apollo s: (Racer) Fits with the other high end racers that focuses more on agility than raw power like the cops.
Sesto Elemento: (Racer) Basically Venveo Junior
Saleen S7: (Racer) With the new appearance in the NFS movie, plus Saleen never been in a NFS.

Profanity warning




Remember how I said I might consider getting this? Yeah nope. Rivals sounded cool at first, but now it seems like a poorly developed game (What more did we expect from EA?) that is going to be EA's new cash cow.

I thought he said he could play? Just another noob. His is annoying as you know what. Maybe you should try it for yourself instead of listening to this idiot.

I found that video funny too, but I couldn't take it seriously at all. That's not a good video to judge the game on. Rivals is actually decent.

The cop NPCs and the cop players are all the same level as you so it's just because cop cars are faster. I have noticed that it takes way too long to loose them because the map is mostly long roads and the longer you drive around the more cops you find. When it becomes 4+ cops and a heli then the game drops in framerate really bad (PS3), but at that point you're already going so slow to dodge all the spike strips. The drop is so bad that any players near you lag pop. How are we supposed to compete online when ping isn't even the problem?

Well I disagree, depending on what room or server you end up on 360 which assume is the same on PS3 you can be in the room with 5 or 6 level racers Human or any level progression racer or cop side. I was seriously destroying racers who just started the game around with lvl 4 pursuit Tech/ me a level 21 cop. I mean when I see guys running around with the Porsche or early Aston u get early in game you must assume they've just started which is generally true even tho they can be performance modded. Now as far the framerate its might be a tad more consistent on XB360, but I encountered what your talking bout as well but I'm also streaming the old Need for Speeds SDTRK in the background and server migration frequently. I starting to believe there no way this game could have handled 8 players + all that going(weather/weapons) on 60fps without breaking even on next gen when u call in the helicopter with human police & AI plus + racers the whole game begins to go up in smoke..... I have feeling some these issues will be ironed out by patching but it will be rough going until then. once u complete tho the pursuit tech works wonderfully, @ times it like taking candy from a baby if you use it properly

Yet I have seen new people (and this is the reason why I am playing single player at the time) Just started on racer level 5 heat. 4! Bugatti's after me. Really?

Is it me or its the same sounds as NFS MW 2012?
