Only to change resolution you have to press ENTER. Other settings do not require you to press ENTER.

For me i had to press enter to get shadows to stick on full, Maybe its because of the patch.

 

[n-ster]

I needed the enter for shadows too

 

[RejZoR]

One other also requires it. Shadows or something. Unless they fixed that in Patch 1...

I have the patch but like i said before i still had to hit enter to make shadows stick. I think people don't notice it because when you set everything to max and exit the menue, Everything is still set to full but as soon as you exit the game and go back in the options shadows have reset to medium.

I only noticed it because i went back in the options to check a few things.

 

[n-ster]

Same here, didn't notice it till later, when I went to disable AF and motion blur

This game is so boooring. No cockpit view, no realistic driving, no realistic sounds, AI worst ever....pure crap, and that is coming from a guy who played ALL NFSs since NFS1. Personally I think that NFS3/4 (In NFS4, if you damage your car, the driving performance was worsens by damage level) were the BEST NFS ever made, those arcade craps....

Have you tried pressing "C"? No dash, but WTH.

I hit 2 million bounty and the credits roll like I finished the game, but I have races I haven't ran and some that aren't unlocked. Strange..

I just unlocked the Turbo weapon for Racers and I must say... holy fucking shit.

That's what 10lbs of nitromethane feels like. Although that's a different type of forced induction altogether.

I must admit, game becomes quite interesting with all those weapons showing up later.. and the mayhem it brings .

Multiplayers a blast as well

Haha i had the same reaction. I just unlocked Turbo Lvl 3. Its NOS-Gasm

First 30 or so minutes were like this:

Choose a car, go to a race, drive a boring road, finish, get a new car (or two). After every race, watch horrendous amounts of cutscenes you can't skip, that are always the same (camera angles and so on) according to type of race, only the cars change.

All I have to say for now is that its one of the most boring racing games so far.

That's pretty much the whole game summed up.

It feels like a very fast and fun game (which is why im still playing it), but it's lacking in depth. It's a pretty bland game overall, pick a race or cop event, do what needs to be done, wash, rinse and repeat. It's fun to get your weapons upgraded as you progress, but it doesn't add much to the actual game, yay i get to shoot out an extra spike strip!!!, yay i get more beefier cars for my road blocks!!, it doesn't change the dynamic of the game and that's disappointing. Every car feels the same, it got to the point where my excitement from getting a new car dropped in a matter of a couple minutes, as even the first car you get is more then capable of beating the cars you need to unlock later in the game, it feels as you you're playing the game with the same car just with a new skin over top of it. Having no AA or other good PC visual features are pretty disappointing too, the game looks great, but it could use some effects to really bring up.

Im still playing the game though because it is enjoyable, the speed with the combination of the cops, the shortcuts make it still a game i enjoy to a good extent. Just disppointed in the execution of the game overall.

IMO the game is great. It's the best but it's quite good and fun. The car's DO NOT feel the same. Trying driving a car like a Mitsubishi Evo X, a Bentley Supersports and a Bugatti. You will see a difference in handling.

The cops are fun and some races are a real challenge. The races are always epic.. I had a few races where i came first by a split second.

The map is good. The roads are different from each other and interesting. Specially the area where there is a loop where you can have a 1KM drift.


and Meizuman, you can skip the cutscenes by pressing Enter or (A) on the Xbox 360 controller for Windows.

I disagree with a good potion of that, but no comment... lol

 

[n-ster]

I wish I had a G25/27 and GT5

That can probably hint that I've stopped playing this game LOL I liked the cop part, but the racer a bit less, got too bored

 

[Stak]

i win many times IF i play this game in online mode. so im better at this then i thought.

 

[mdsx1950]

LoL! Thank you for not commenting on it. After all that's just my opinion. But i gotta say that Hot Pursuit being Criterion's first go at a NFS game. I'd say it's quite good.

 

[wolf]

just started playing this last night, I really like it. back to NFS arcade style, feels like most wanted only much better and more engaging.

also I can max this baby at 1080P using my mobility 5650! I'll post a video of that for proof when I can

very pleased so far, and I loved that early Zonda speed run, the cutscene before that was awesome.

 

[Jaffakeik]

I got on all tracks gold,and got some friends unbeaten in some tracks,but in all still playing sometime but now not so much,still need to get cop to 20lvl.

 

[Meizuman]

It's a bit like beefed up OutRun. When comparing the maps with Undercover, I find them a bit too "highwayish" (theres a new word for ya).

 

[TAViX]

Hey, any Anti Alias patches, tweaks or cracks yet?? Or do I still need to use the MLAA (which works great btw...)???

This is the only patch available. To see the rain effect, you have to go and do a race which has the lightning symbol on it. The 'normal rain symbol' races just have a wet road. I'm not sure about the bass issue your having. My one sounds fine.

Wich version to buy PC or Xbox360 ?
