sweet, look forward to trying this tonight when i get there

[Optimus]

It's really good, but the controls seem a bit sloppy on the keyboard (it plays a bit like Juiced as the steering isn't as crisp) and theres way too much visual information happening. Multiple OSDs, oncoming traffic, police and HDR effects don't make the game very friendly at times...

[Baz]

what about us, not at i26?

The controls for the car in first gear are utter bollox! You accelerate, the car seems to be stcuk in first gear till you use thje N2O...

For the slower cars, like the golf the controls are slow, unreactive and generally not nice...
But the dodge viper at speed is total win! kind of decent handling when at least over 100mph...

The race breaker (slow motion) proves to be quite useful when smashing through police blockades, perfect line ups to smash at least 2 cars is muchos fun!

The HDR effects are somewhat pointless... I'm playing on a oc'd 6800Gt and the HDR seems only there when i come out of a tunnel, and even then its very quick and is very pityfull compared to HL2:Lost Coast.

I do hope they do get the controls right for the final release, Underground 2 was pretty much perfect for this style of racing imo.

overall opinion: Fun demo. Hope they sort the controls out for the final release.

[Optimus]

I've had a little more time to play with it and i have come to the conclusion that the Challenges are amazing... The shear speed of the game coupled with the cheese action movie/Worlds Scariest Police Chases music really makes the game fun... with a capital FU! (see what I did there)... Infact, I havent even touched the other standard racing bits because I just spent about 2 hours playing the same Roadblock level (6 minutes is my best time btw :))

The stupid Speedbreaker bullet time seems like one of those back-of-box bullet point additions too me, but I spose its been implemented well...
Also, the NOS (and the bullet time) seems to automatically recharge when you're going FAST now... What happened to the cool skill moves like near misses and clipping the silly yet entertaining Pursuit Breakers...
Ahh well, at least they removed the RaceBreaker NOS doubler...

Anyone took their pursuit onto the golf course yet? Those golf carts fly around like nobodies business if you hit them at 160mph

[Neon]

Its a great game, nuff said.

4 HOURS 27 MINS!!! A NEW RECORD!

[Amobe]

For those who just dont do Fileplanet

(File speed is a bit pants)

[Neon]

Thats minutes :p: I think that having a longer pursuit is better as you build more bounty for race duration, infractions and cost to the police.

Chicane played that challenge for 31 minutes earlier and got a score of nearly 500,000 !

[no friends]

that is 7 infractions though... the only one i didn't get is the wreckless driving!?!

i can get it in the the toll booth one, challenge 2

the 3rd challenge, i just ran for about 50 minutes.. >_< my wrist started to ache so i quits... shuold of taken screenshot. i will try and beat that later thoughs :D

[Optimus]

What speed do you need to be going to get Excessive Speeding?
Speeding alone is a whopping 140-150mph, which is hard to do in your relatively un-upgraded Viper...

[no friends]

180mph


:D

[Chicane]

i have gotten to 187 though neon says he has got to 195, which i havent seen yet

[no friends]

anyone got the wreckless driving one yet?

[Philip_0729]

hello everyone, my first post here and just to say how much i'm looking forward to NFS:MW.

I havn't been able to get wreckless driving but have got execive speeding... (180MPH)

http://www.misticriver.net/photos/albums/userpics/12554/NFSMWHSs.jpg

after about 20 mins the police stoped trying, no more road blocks :( and no trafic :( i think that in the real game this type of event may continue for a very long time with various challenges??

Hello again,

they don't stop trying... if you go out of sight from a police car, you go into cooldown mode... but if the police catch back up with you, then it resets the timer for backup.
Backup takes 2 minutes and they send 15 cars after you... there are still roadblocks if you carry on, on the same road, one of the ring roads is best for this.

I've had numerous times over 30 minutes with the police still sending backup and there being roadblocks infront of me...
normally the game crashes then >_<

lets do some proper exploring :D

Thats the fastest ive been able to get on the highway.

[Baz]

I set down a challenge!

How fast can you complete the rockridge and union track, driving the modified 911?

Set Traffic to none
Opponents to 1
Skill to Easy
Catchup to off

To get you started, ive just clocked 1.50:76

Screenshots prove your skills!

[chili]

managed to get the old girl up to 205....

why not just do the toll booth time trial?

[Guigsy]

baz must have a 10 sec shortcut somewhere cause i cant get much far under 2 mins....


































or i suck

because the lexus sucks, in the toll booth there are police who can influence times, and the rockridge and union is fast, fun and has lots of places to boost speed in.

To get under 1.55, you need a pefect start, to not hit any barriers, and use your nitrous mainly when going uphills. Oh, and to never touch the brakes.

[Guigsy]

best i can manage is about 1.58

My other time was 1:57:50 @ 180mph

gah...

EDIT

a nicely shortened time ;)

http://www.misticriver.net/photos/albums/userpics/12554/irwinner.jpg

is anyone else playing using a joypad?? because when i use my Logitech cordless wingman all of the cars always stear (sp??) to the left :confused: which made that time even more diffcult and very iritating

[Baz]

phil - do you have a saitek gamers keyboard by chance?

[Philip_0729]

no i just use the keyboard of my Notebook... the I think the problem must be in the demo because i have no such problems in NFSU2

[Mouse_On_Mars]

The steering response on an analog game pad feels really crap, a lot like NFS:HP2. Hopefully they'll sort that out before release.

[no friends]

any one tried it with a wheel yet?


i know nfs:u2 didn't work with the pedals... just the wheel, it also steered off to the left.

I cba to get my wheel out if i don't know its gonna be worthwhile...

[Baz]

Come on! No-one within 1 second of my time yet!

[porsche]

So...

Guigsy - 1:57.34 @ 171 MPH
No Friends - 1:52.63 @ 182 MPH
and - 1:57.50 @ 180 MPH
and - 1:57.23 @ 173 MPH
Philip_ - 1:52.16 @ 169 MPH

Assuming that the speed is the average speed then there are some really strange values. Look at Philip_'s low time but strangly low speed.

This could be explained by heavy use of shortcuts and different routes but look at No Friends having a 5 sec different with only a 2 MPH difference. No Friends, I'm assuming that you used the same routes each time?

I tried it with a wheel but prefered keys, I can't handle wheels on arcade racers. My times are too embarasing to post considering my nick.

-Porsche-

[no friends]

I do use the same route each time, the only shortcut is the the muddy track...

The speed shown is the speed that you cross the line at, not the average speed btw.

[Guigsy]

there we go. 1.55:62 could do better. hit the wall a few times in the last tunnel nocked about a second off i think - hence the slow speed.

that was without useing the shoutcut. i always hit the walls and scrub off 2 much time.

[Philip_0729]

i would be able to go quicker if it didn't keep steering me left ;)

[andyf]

You should have imported it like shadow and I. You could be playing it right now. Oh well, not long till the 25th is it...

as reported in your thread...

warezing cock...

Why would you need D-Tools to open a game you have "imported" say to put it...

[andyf]

So I don't need the CD in the drive? Or did you somehow manage to miss the whole of the anti-starforce thread from yesteryear? I wouldn't put it past you, you don't seem the quickest car off the blocks (look I made a car-themed joke just for you).

yea... because this post really
sounded like you bought it...

Careful what you post, people don't automatically assume that you have bought it... quite the oppisite considering the wording you have used.

and i just pipped you ;)
more infractions n all?

[Guigsy]

cant seem to get wreckless or excessive speeding

[no friends]

wreckless driving is hitting anything you see in your view...
and over 300,000cts
i haven't managed to hit it yet
but excessive speeding comes with ease after a while...
it is in theory 300km/h

[Guigsy]

whats that in mph?

[no friends]

186 in theory again

but in the game, you just need to top 180mph within full police view to get excessive speeding

[Guigsy]
