Guess it's gonna have a M3 coverboy and our beloved 135i will be in the game!

Looks nice, hopefully it doesn't turn into what pro street was.

Looks kinda like grid in a sense. That game was hard to me. Only played it once and havent touched it since. Might right now lol

Mega Man · 05-30-2009, 04:09 PM

I'm not going to lie. I liked Need for Speed Underground (the first one) and that's it.

I got to say Most Wanted, that game was amazingly fun.

Porsche Unleashed remains the best ever NFS game . . . only one with 4 point physics for the wheels.

I actually got a free copy of this game today from a friend..

DASHOCKER · 09-11-2009, 07:33 PM

I just popped it into my Xbox360 & the game play is insane.. You start off with a red/blk/white colored E92 M3 and I must say the captured the true engine sound of the M3

taliesen · 09-11-2009, 07:43 PM

So give us a quick comparison - what other driving game does it 'feel' like? PGR4? Forza 2? Grid? Anything that can't be made to feel somewhat realistic is right out, but something to tide me over until FMS3 comes out would be welcome!

It is similar to Grid but better imo.. The physics is no where near Forza in terms of car damage. If you hit another vehicle, you car will not be out of alignment & body parts will not go flying over the track as in Forza. There is visual damage only from my game play so far.. I just purchase a 135i coupe in the game for $35k.. The sound of the N54 in the game sound very close to the real deal.. This is a fun game and you guys will enjoy it for sure.. A must buy!

vgame64 · 09-11-2009, 10:37 PM

Loving the game so far. Between Dirt 2, NFS Shift, and Forza 3...the rest of this year is great for racing games.

darkphantom · 09-12-2009, 12:44 AM

Not going to lie, looks like another fail from the gameplay vids...

Ahh . . . I didn't really care for Grid, so maybe I'll give this one a pass. Grid was too much like automotive pinball - always starting at the back of the field, and the races are so short you have to barge your way to the front instead of using skill to pass the bumper-car AI.

darkphantom · 09-12-2009, 03:03 PM

^yeah, grid was a bit insane, one wrong move and BAM your car is toast....literally...controls weren't that friendly to me...too sensitive

randomquickness · 09-12-2009, 05:58 PM

thought this game didn't come out until the 15th?

You are correct but I have a free adavanced copy thanks to a buddy

Look at what is on the cover of my copy

taliesen · 09-12-2009, 09:14 PM

I think I'm going to hold my breath for a demo . . . hasn't been a demo for NFS since Most Wanted, as far as I can recall - makes you wonder what EA is hiding
