I think so , ive been playing the game for over an hour and i really havent liked a NFS game since NFS MW but this game just blows it away. Really tight controlls , sound is amazing , awesome graphics and i do like them better then GT5 Prologue which i own on PS3. What do you guys think who played the game ?

I'll definitely be buying this - when I get the chance. Too many games coming out right now.

How is the in-car presentation? This was supposed to be one of the big features, that the in-car view was going to be the best in-car view ever seen in a game?

The incare view is really goregeous i use it , you can even modify the inside of the car with mods and upgrades. Also tons of bodykits , rims, performance mods.

Oh God, I just was playing it. PERFORMANCE IS AWFUL. I have a hd3870x2 + 3870 + 6 gigs of ram + qx6700 @ 3.5ghz. Such awful prformance, goes from 20fps to 60fps for no reason... I'm plaiyng at all high no AA 1920x1080... It doesn't even look very pretty, Grid looks a lot better and runs a lot better. This game doesn't seem to take advantage of crossfire at all, I think it's just using one of my hd3870s, as in I have a hd3870x2 + 3870, that's 3 cores. I think it's only using one, because when I dsiabled my 3rd core, no performance changes.... grrr, I am going to have to play this windowed at like 1280x720? That's lame.

Hey man how are you. I've been playing for hours now and got to level 12 or so. When you get to level 10 it says you have won the Falken Tire Ford GT, have you gotten to this part yet. I checked on my garage and no new car so this mat be a bug.

Need for Speed will sell because it has pretty graphics. As far as driving, the physics are lame. It does not even feel or react like a real car. It is exactly what it is supposed to be...a GAME with Shiny Sparklies to attract buyers.

It's for quick race, you have it in the car list, it's just an unlock (content unlock), not a normal locked car.

Man, that's gotta suck. I hope you get it figured out.

Definitely want this game, but I'm not sure how well it would run on my rig. Core i7 2.7GHz, 3x1GB DDR3 RAM, Radeon HD 4850.

I haveNvidia Geforce 8800GT Processor AMD AthlonX2 5000+ and on all or almost all high max settings fullscreen the game will frequently freeze about once on each race and unfreeze in about 3 seconds when I come crashing against the wall so I don't know if it's my processor or the game. Also can't connect to play online damn thing says I'm not connected to ea nation same issues with burnout paradise.

using ati 4870 here, I get random fps drops for a few seconds most of the time during a hard turn. Other than that and the punishing AI difficulty it works fine

I know it's out on consoles and that it'll be a great game, but untill it's out and you see how well it performs and acts on PC... I laso like the F1 game a lot and know it will be good since Codemasters are making it, but since it's not out yet, I can't say how much I like it...so you either just saw some videos of Dirt 2 and like it but you can't really make an opinion based just on images and put it up against other games that are already released, or you played the console version and that's irrelevant since this is about PC. It seems you usually like to post the console version in the PC forums, so till Dirt 2 is released on PC and we see how good it is and performs... /facepalm

Dirt and Grid performed amazing on the PC, so yeah thats not an Excuse... and ofcourse I played it and didnt just watch pictures and yet I have to say it again the Versions are the same except for minor Graphics Update (which would make it even better on the PC) get it in your Head.... Also the main Discussion in this Thread wasn't made for the Technical Aspects, more for if you like the Game or not and I gave my Oppinion, Deal with it.

I agree. I don't understand why physics in racing games took such a sudden turn for the worst a few years ago, this is the latest in a long line of letdowns. Carbon and Midnight Club LA are the worst culprits. But, being as fair as I can, other aspects of the game are fantastic. The in car view is very good, and it masks the poor physics very well. It's lucky the cockpit view is good, because the chase cam is quite poor. It follows the car too rigidly. Most sounds are realistic, there is fantastic ambience effects, body panels rattling etc, and I love that. It is a raw and untamed in your face experience, as far as sound goes. The only sound I don't like is the tyre squeal - not totally realistic in terms of timing and volume. It's either on or off. Is it worth the money? If realistic physics are your thing, hell no! Those who don't care for perfect physics will LOVE this game.
