Re: Need for Speed Review (PS4/XB1)

Well I was on the fence as well because of a lot of the comments in this thread but I'm having a blast with it. If you have EA Access try it or maybe rent it because it seems opinions are widely split but I am really enjoying it about 10 hours or so into it..

I have 1 race left to finish and some daily challenges to complete before I get the platinum. My playtime is a little over 25 hours right now. Can't wait to see what the dlc brings.

This was the hardest event in the game for me.

Is there anyway to adjust the size of the screen? During gameplay the screen stretches beyond my screen and cuts off a part of the side, but the menus are perfectly fine. I didn't see an option, but I didn't know if this was a common problem or not.

My primary thus far has been the BRZ and I've been focusing on the drift events. I'm trying to decide what my second car will be, but I want to do a speed build and keep my BRZ for drifting.

I thought the cut-scenes would be corny, but they are actually well done and gives me just a taste of nostalgia for the previous Underground games.

The only thing I don't like about this game is there isn't an option for manual transmission.

Not sure what the screen issue is. I didn't have that issue or hear of anyone else having it. Sure it's not your tv settings?

I also dug the cut scenes. I don't expect Oscar winning performances in racing games. It was cool for what it was.

I'll check, but my other games display just fine.

What do you have your PS4 display settings on?

Automatic.

Automatic.

I figured it out. I don't remember seeing this option before, but there's a screen adjust setting and it was way out of wack. Weird how it has only affected NFS.

Anyway, I turned off all the drifting/braking assists and am having a more fluid experience drifting reminding me of NFS:Underground a lot more.

Re: Need for Speed Review (PS4/XB1)

I didn't have very high hopes for this game and I mistakingly let some online opinions deter me from getting this game when it was on sale a few weeks ago. Well, I went home and visited a friend and his impressions of the game led me to purchase it for myself. I have to say, I actually enjoy it quite a bit.

I own Project Cars, DriveClub, NFS Rivals, and now this game. I think it's a great step in the right direction for rebooting a series by taking it back to it's best roots with Underground 2/Most Wanted.

I'm having a blast modifying cars, despite some inaccuracies with certain parts/upgrades like RWD specific upgrades for FWD cars. I do dislike the weather situation and wish it had a daylight cycle, but overall it's fun.

Most Wanted had some pretty cheesy cutscenes too and I enjoyed that game.

Overall I'm glad I purchased it.

Re: Need for Speed Review (PS4/XB1)

Glad to see that folks are enjoying it. The campaign is worth a run. I think it took me 30 hours to get the platinum and then there's the dlc stuff. I do hope the next DLC brings something new to the table, though. This honestly could've been an offline racer because the multiplayer in the game leaves a lot to be desired.

Re: Need for Speed Review (PS4/XB1)

The only negatives I really have to say about the game is the lack of manual transmission option and the soundtrack. Other than that this is definitely something to satisfy that nostalgia craving short of hooking up a PS2 and popping in NFS:U2.

There are times when I miss the Nissan 350Z and Audi TT quatro, but then I'm making new memories with the BRZ and Skyline. I'm posting some ridiculous drifting scores with the BRZ (sorry guys) and am still learning the ins and outs of that part of the gameplay. I might not go for this game as soon as I turn on my PS4, but once I get into the game its hard for me to turn off. I'll set a route to one of the main missions and then get sidetrack by events along the way there. Sometimes the AI drivers are morons, but so far the difficulty has been right where I want it to be.


OT: I completely forgot there were a handful of SUVs to flip over in Undgeround 2.

Re: Need for Speed Review (PS4/XB1)

Yep, I love this game. It's just... fun.

Seems between Drive Club, Project Cars, and this, I have all the bases covered when it comes to racing games. Good times, man.

The last event in the Style track is nasty. I've been within 5 seconds of the last one or two checkpoints two or three times, but I just can't string together a perfect run over 7 minutes.

Yeah, that one can be kind of tough. There's a style event in the DLC that looks even tougher. I only gave it one run, though.

The most difficult event in the game to me was MacDermid's Mile. Let me know what you think once you get to it.
