The game is out. I have it. I love it already. Someone make an official topic for it

Man, not sure why I swore an online pass was not needed for this game, but it definitely is. Even worse, I actually considered purchasing it, and when I went to do so, all I get was a message from the PSN store "there is nothing to download at this time." So MP is completely locked out for me, not even an option.
I am going to check out the SP I suppose and make a decision from there. It is currently $44.99 to keep it from Gamefly, so I may do so. Just have to really think about it.

Oh, so you've rented it and because of that you can't check out the MP because you have no pass? That's weak.

[fmanchu]

Yes it is, and I found out why I thought that was not the case...
So thanks EA, as if iirc they were they ones that way back introduced this awful idea of online passes, and to much of the industry has followed suit.

Really wish Jaffe had his way, as he was absolutely right...

Considering the game's focus on multiplayer, Jaffe argued that ensuring there are as few hurdles as possible to gamers getting online and enjoying the game is crucial for the long term health of the franchise.
"I'm okay with the fact that we might lose sales on this first game if, because of it, we generate a lot of fans that otherwise wouldn't have played the game. The online is so much the bread and butter of this game, so I'm okay with it because it means we're setting ourselves up for a possible return to the franchise one day."

Taken from that link above.

So yeah fmanchu, just realize if you rent it like I did, you need to purchase an online pass to play the MP.

Bought it full price out of love for the original on the PS, but I was almost 20 years younger then...this just isn't for me. I think it's crap, and the graphics don't look that great either. The cinematic cutscenes are amazing though. Really remind me of Sucker Punch. However, if this is the game that makes Jaffe think he can lord it over the entire industry, then the man must be delusional.

It looks like a this gen car shooter. I think it is amazing. Played splitscreen multiplayer with a friend yesterday for almost 5 hours straight. Couldn't get enough of it. The battles are insane when you have a full 16 player server.
My only gripe is not enough maps for online play it seems. Maybe you have to unlock more or something... but it seemed to be about 3 or 4 maps that were just on rotation from every server I played on. Oh, and the connectivity issues with joining a server need to get worked out. But other than that, once you are in a MP game, it is a blast. Rose from level 1 to level 7 pretty quick.



At least he provides some updates and on a persona level. Can't say he's not at least trying to do it right.

And apparently, the cars can do other things with their ults you may not know about. If you use Outlaw, while shooting his regular Special, if you keep pressing R2, it will also shoot grenades. If you use his 2ndary Special, it will shoot rockets when you tap R2. Roadkills 2ndary Special requiers you to charge it up 3 seperate times after pressing fire for it to shoot other missles and freezeray off... There's depth to how you can use all the cars... even though some may have what seems to be the same specials.

Will give it more time, maybe I'll like it. Did say the problem is me, I just don't enjoy this genre anymore even though used to love it in the past. However, I still maintain this game doesn't look or play much better than Vigilante 8, which was a downloadable title from what I remember.

Still waiting for the censored EU release alreday preordered and tempted to cancel and import from the US.

[shakey]

I don't think this was censored here in Australia. Although the likelyhood I will be picking this up is rather low.
