Feels fine to me as well, but I changed the setting in Aim Assist after watching this from 1.30

Got to say - I am really enjoying WD and it's the best game I have played on the PS4 so far.

I really can't do the driving in this, just slide around all over the place. As soon as I pick some speed, the slightest attempt to turn or whatever and the car just goes all over the place. Any tips?

I keep getting caught by police and shot up, getting pretty tiresome to be honest. Current trying to do some side mission where I steal a car and straight away have to escape the police. What can you do to escape and avoid them?

Have you tried using the O button to turn the lights off and hide in car? Only works if the cops are searching for you and your at a distance.
Hacking make things easier e.g hack traffic lights to cause accidents/ road blocks, hack bridges, road blocker, you can unlock more hacks and driving skills as well in case you missed it.

My game arrived today, looks good up to now and profiling people can be fun. I can't seem to get on to the Ubisoft servers though which is annoying as I want to try and hack other players. Also, what's this UPlay thing I can sign up to ?

I thought I managed it by raising a bridge, it said they were avoided so I started driving normally, not speeding or anything but they found me again, this time with a helicopter and spot light on me. I gave up and restarted to the last check point.

Will give the hiding in the car ago. Feels like the first scene in the film Drive where he hides like that

How does this game play on a Xbox 360? I expect it to be not as good as the new generation consoles yes.. But how big of a difference are we talking about here?

so aim assist to the rightest and steering seems much better.

Got this coming from Boomerang rentals tomorrow, looking forward to playing it.

Played this all day yesterday and today. Concentrated solely on the main campaign yesterday and did nothing but side missions and online hacking today. Really into this now. Like it a lot more than I thought I would.

The "gang hideout" side missions are my absolute favourite so far!

It looks like I need to complete some online tutorial before I can start hacking random players, where do I find this tutorial or is it part of the main story?

Murray · 28 May 2014 at 20:32

Part of the main story. I'm pretty sure its fairly early.

Thanks, I've not got that far into it yet as I end up getting side tracked.

kmetek · 28 May 2014 at 20:36

Damn Uplay can't connect 1/2 hour.

Woden · 28 May 2014 at 20:45

Nice service Ubisoft.

Aaand now its just sent me right back to the very beginning and i cant skip the sequences.

djcj · 28 May 2014 at 21:00

Is there anyway to check your progress online? Similar to say the battlefield 4 stats website. Where it shows you what missions you have done and what is left to do? Also how far you are to obtaining each trophy?

JUMPURS · 28 May 2014 at 21:35

i'm quite enjoying it, although kinda ignoring all the side quests as they are kinda crap

BAcon · 28 May 2014 at 22:48

Been playing a few hours so far and I have to say the horrific car physics have dulled the whole experience...

Time for the auction site I think

If you do a fixer contract it will after completing this contract tell you how many you've done, in the top right corner - it flashes up, you need for example 10 contracts to get the fixer trophy.

Shamikebab · 28 May 2014 at 23:31

Or just press up on the dpad, go to progress and check there

Is anyone else not that fussed about the quality of driving ? I admit, it's not great but I don't think it's poor either. GTA IV's was very similar from what I can remember.
