    was just on the argos website and its still marked as €48.99 but in the booklet i got today its €30.99, gonna go in tomorrow to check it out.

    Could you tell me how that goes Mailrewop.I seen you wrote it earlier & went to Argos.ie but it wasn't cut there.I also seen in a Argos ad on tv today saying they cut the prices of numerous games but it doesn't give any.Hoping they cut the price of Enslaved too.

    Well I'd imagine there are more of us, but the're probably on Hamachi or some variant :p for obvious reasons ;)

    Played a bit of it today. Do you know how to enable AA or AF in it? It's a shameless port, I can't find any advanced graphical options in the menus.

    I have 4870 and reckon its not gonna any better looking tbh, brilliant game tho its an arcade racer based on NFS made by Criterion.

    One turn, one crash, one slip up on adrift and you lose, brilliant fun online.

    thank you G2play :D

    From what I could gather from searching online, the original PC release had no AA installed - it does now (if you update your gpu drivers) but a quick google search will tell you that you should not be surprised if your game continuously crashes - and v1.2 still has no AF.

    I'm YitzacK, btw. Any PC players feel free to add me.

    Where did you get the update from? I haven't received any popups when opening the game to let me know that an update was installing.

    I checked the version.txt file in the install directory and it is still saying it is version 1.0.0.0. What version are you currently on?

    Ea downloader updates the game or it should.

    bout fuppin time... geez, I've had to add a load of pubbies to my friends list to actually get some times to beat :D

    Pagani Zonda FTW. Since it first appeared in NFS games its always been my favorite.

    I'm liking the game but it's very shallow. It's a through and through Arcade racer, which isn't a bad thing, but I do miss being able to tweak aspects of my car to make it drift better, accelerate faster or have a higher top speed.

    OST is utter muck also. Of the 3 or so songs I do like I can't listen to them without trying to quickly flick through the songs while the race is underway. Why didn't they include the ability to change the songs from the pause menu :confused:

    Also, added pogmothoin, I'm guessing that's his username?

    The 2 online modes do it for me, took me about 20 goes to beat your time today and i shaved .50 seconds of it. Thats ****ing brilliant.

    I hammered pog and numnutts other night in an online race and pog took me out early doors in the next race i spent 6 minutes trying to see them while they battled for 1st. Cnut :pac:

    Its a fun racer nothing more and very fitting triquel. Think they going with DLC cars rather than tweaking which i dont mind me and numnutts modded the **** out of NFS HP that we forgot which cars were which.

    Good going. Btw, I just shaved a further 5 seconds off the new time you set :D It was close to a perfect run so you have your work cut out for you ;)

    If you can get through those shortcuts without touching the sides or losing much speed you'll easily beat it.

    I didnt use any shortcuts on my run reckon theres at least a second there without shortcuts, will try the shortcuts on my next run :D

    Got this today if anyone wants to add me on PSN, Krudler89 is my tag, having a blast with it so far, competitive pursuits are awesome fun


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Bought this on PC and haven't installed it yet. Hows the racing online? Messy or very competitive? NFS Shift was very good for tight clean races, unlike a certain GRID :rolleyes:

    Great fun but theres more fun to be had in the Autolog. Online races are very good but the added bonus of ramming someone from the track or crashing keeps it interesting.

    Really? I thought you where only doing the online races? I log in each day to find nobody has posted anything new in the autolog. I've added a load of randomers now to get some times to beat.

    Would love to race with yous but, being -8 GMT means I'm usually not home from work yet by the time yous are going to bed :(

    Yeah Hot Pursuit mode seems to be getting the most online traffic atm in the PC version. I find I'll be sitting in Race mode waiting for someone to join for ages, but hot pursuit mode will fill up pretty fast.

    @cherryghost: What is your EA username?


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,134 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Username is cherryghost

    I won't be playing it any time soon though, getting about 10fps.

    theres a patch buried on the NFS site somewhere.
