New Need for Speed?

PraxxtorCruel · 28 Oct 2015 at 20:08

EA on Monday announced that Need for Speed will be playable on Xbox One through EA Access starting Thursday, October 29. According to a tweet from EA Access, the trial will last for 10 hours.

UPDATE: The 10-hour trial is now live on EA Access, one day earlier than planned. To download it, head through to the Xbox Store.

In 10 hours you could play easily over 50% of the game Id imagine - that is if they haven't made the 'grind' different. Look forward to how people find the finished game...

This is quite an interesting read.

I played this at the Eurogamer show and thought it was rubbish, shortly after I played the Beta which confirmed that it was rubbish...

So far so good. Got the Civic and an AE86 which is eventually going to be a green and red drift-mobile. Without a rear bumper and a a nice 3" exhaust. My civic with dual pipes sounds LUSH at the moment. Exhaust changes do wonders!

EA Access Trial is available now.

Nice! I have an EA Access trial lying around somewhere. Although I still haven't had a chance to play Halo yet. It can wait though if this is as good as I'm hoping.

Soooo... Is the time of day dynamic or is it linked to location like it was during the stress test?

Is it only available to those who pre-order? Or available to anyone with EA Access?

MOOGLEYS · 29 Oct 2015 at 10:24

It's available to anyone on EA access but I keep getting "The servers are down for routine maintenance" message.

Not a great start....

It's not the greatest. It all feels a bit slow and clunky.

Everything Ive read from the EA access people is that this is still the same game from the beta but the AI catchup has been improved. Lots of online issues it seems if you arent in solo game mode...

That's a very poor launch trailer :/

MoDe · 30 Oct 2015 at 08:38

Yeah I had a go last night, I think I set my hopes too high

. They have some horrible blur/hazey overlay on the screen which makes the game look awful, those video cut scenes are a cringe fest.

I'm surprised Forza haven't produced some sort of Underground style DLC or street racing maps, that would be brilliant for drifting.

Bone9 · 30 Oct 2015 at 09:05

That's a shame this could have been good.

Digital X · 30 Oct 2015 at 09:36

As well as the blur is that bloody grainy filter, and the rubber banding.

You can be going 80mph behind someone and they'll stay the same speed, then you get up to 160mph and they'll blast ahead. It's nuts but I am enjoying the game, despite the "deepest customisation" HA. No. That's what got hyped up too much and Ghost Ben said it's being looked at, which is the MAIN point of NFS..
