What is it?

Nieldo · 20 Jul 2006 at 02:07

its like need for speed but with proper licenced cars and the most accurite remake of hawaii. Drive around and stuff in the exotic cars, sure hope they get the physics right on em. If they do I will get it

It certainly looks awesome lets hope it plays as sweet

The demo on the 360 was interesting. The physics on the cars are very different from most other games, even “sim” types like GT and forza. Certainly a cool concept though and should work well as long as they get enough players.

im undecided on which versions going to have the best scene for the persistent online world, i should think that xbox might have less hax potential

Wow didn't see that coming. Good stuff!

Spunj99 · 20 Jul 2006 at 11:41

Oh snap!

Wasn't sure if it was going to be coming out on PC, when i read about it a couple of months back i nearly wet myself. Sounds like a great concept, hope it really is good.

:cool:

There has never ever been a good test drive game IMO, hopefully this will be! Its looks pretty snazzy.

TheVoice · 20 Jul 2006 at 11:53

I'll wait for a demo, but it does look very cool indeed.

Hmm I thought it was 360 in Sept everyone else by Christmas?

da_mic_1530 · 20 Jul 2006 at 12:15

the xbox 360 demo was impressive, but the car handling just felt a bit off, if they tweak that it could be a huge hit

leaskovski · 20 Jul 2006 at 12:47

I remember playing one of the originals years ago!

Can you still get pulled by the police?

gord · 20 Jul 2006 at 12:48

The car sounds are great.. and theres some nifty little bits in there but..

bushes/etc stop you dead.. theres nothing like hitting a tiny bush and kerdunk! 0mph

car handling - theres something not quite right, its when you turn and the car has its own mind

Wonder if you can drive onto the set of LOST?

bingham67 · 20 Jul 2006 at 16:22

I got to much to post on this game if you have a 360 there a new improved demo coming out possibly August what is totally fixed from previous buggy early code version and what ive heard the game now is so much better then the early buggy demo.

Here a new video what will tell you about the game the GT preview either HD option or normal your choice.

So if it's due for xmas for PC, maybe it will be DirectX 10

Just watching that trailer I see some of the things I really hate in racing games, no damage to your car, naff collision detection system and crashes (the car crashed into a metal poll holding up a chain link fence and he stopped dead in his tracks), sound effects that sound crap when you change gear/break really fast.
