Need For Speed: Heat Being Revealed Today

played close to 10 hours hit rep lvl 25 ... game froze and when i relogged it synced my data just to moer me back to rep lvl9 ... have to love when a game starts like this hey
 
0_o I saw nothing odd. But ok.


Edit: Hmm still not seeing it.
Wait turns out it was just a "preview". But essentially he out lines the entire game just as you would expect from a review regardless. Didn't seem much different than the usual sort of video they come out with.
 
So damn tempted

So anybody playing this yet?
Yea plating it since launch.not to bad.feels like an updated payback without the shitty slot machine upgrades.

I did not like the way you have to unlock new cars,parts ect in the start...but now that i have gotten into the game im starting to see what they intended with the game being this way.day time racing gets you the moola,night time street racing gets you the rep to unlock new things.

Damit did not want to throw this on here but hey screw it.add me on origin , Donkiepeel...
 
This game is laughable, dont buy it.

- No cockpit view
- Camera has a seizure every time you pull off from a stop
- Graphics are garbo
- Handling/drifting mechanics are wack.
 
I am quite enjoying the game, love the simplistic controls and that drifting has become 'easy' again. I quite enjoyed that style of drifting from nfs underground 2.
Game looks pretty a.f for me, and I must say I am glad they did away with that bullshit 'upgrade' system from payback...
 
Im really enjoying this one. A big step up from payback and the handling is alot more refined.

A car tuned for grip will never kick out and you arent penalised for having a grippy car instead of the brake to drift like you were in payback. The cop chases are fun too and im not generally into those but the risk/reward for having a successful night racing and banking all that rep was a welcomed addition.

Story is alot less cheezy and alot darker. Graphics look good to me on 1440p ultra i mean its not Forza but still looks great.

All in all they are heading in the right direction again.

Cheapest place to buy it for PC?

CDkeys is R750 at the moment
 
Got the game over the weekend, and I see there wasn't a RSA crew, so I created one. It's called RSA Ryderz if you wish to join
 
I will join as soon as my current crew is LV 50, we are now on 45 I think
 
+1, also play racing games on a keyboard.
Still beat my friends that play on controllers 😂.
I feel like the thing a controller is better at is throttle control, well that was untill CM's new pressure switches or whatever it's called.
Other than that I feel that the steering is sluggish compared to a keyboard or a steering wheel with pedals even.

It's all or nothing on throttle, just like most SA drivers😂.
CM changed the game, I agree

Even better though is the full racing wheel, with pedals, or the full Sim (wheel, pedals, handbrake, gauges etc etc).
 
So after being gifted a Origin Access Basic 1 month pass, I started playing this over the weekend.

I am going to buy it, quite entertaining.

Impressions so far:
1. It is not Underground, but there are enough elements present to keep me happy. It kinda feels like Underground-ey Shift/ProStreet with cops.
2. Handling model has a very arcade feel, you can coast in/flick & slide out
3. The AI can be quite stupid, they seems to give up after a lap or two and race each other and ignore you.
4. Very high CPU usage - I have seen near 85% usage
5. Looks pretty, the visuals are crisp. My 1080 barely cracks 60fps on Ultra 1440p.
6. VERY high disc usage, will move my game lib to SSD over the weekend (there is some stutter in-game which seems to be disc related)

And the cops? Have they toned them down?

Nope not at all but once your car is at a certain peformance level. I'd say 300ish (maxes at 400+) up until heat level 3 - 4 they arent all that hard to get away from. Once you hit 400+ cops are a joke and you can pull away from them in any straight line.

Nfs will always be arcade like. Forza is the place to look for the more sim like or simcade experience. Have noticed high cpu usage as well around thr 65 to 75% mark regularly however i didnt notice the high disk usage, i should check that out.
 
And the cops? Have they toned them down?
Not sure what to compare it to, but I am still very much in the early stages so the cops are super tough, especially mid-race when they swarm you.

They have some epic/lame one-liners though. Cheese level: Fast & Furious.
