EA Access getting Need for Speed: Rivals in


Recommended Posts

EA confirmed today that racer Need for Speed: Rivals will join EA Access?s collection of digital games in the ?coming weeks.? This will give EA Access subscribers full access to the developer Ghost?s high-octane driving game. For $5 a month or $30 per year, you can get a membership to EA Access, which gives you an instant library of games from EA?s vault. Need for Speed: Rivals will join existing vault titles like Battlefield 4, FIFA 14, and more.

such bad value

If they keep adding games often then I'm more and more interested in it.  Besides, you can pay once, or for the month, play what you want, then stop and start again if they add a few more games you're interested in.

Just traded in my NFS:Rivals and Fifa 14 and got $41 for them.  Made sure to redeem my Legends Code from Fifa before trading in the game though.

such bad value for me

 

Corrected that for you ^ ;) 

 

Seriously though people are constantly saying that it's such bad value, it's very subjective. 

 

For me, I've paid ?20 and been able to play two games that would not have cost me more to find digital copies. So for me it's great value :P

I believe that was more of a dig at Sony - they thought it didn't provide great value that PlayStation users expect of them. Poor excuse, because as you said it's great value already!

It'd be great if they added a new game at least every month but I think they might do it faster, it's in their best interests to get as many people on this subscription as they can and to do that they'll have to keep adding more and more.

Sooner than expected, but Rivals should now be available. Get downloading :D and FYI download is about 17GB

I just wish I liked EA's games more :(

 

Apart from Battlefield which I think I'm pretty much done with I'm not realy a big fan of many of their other games to warrant this being good value for me. If I didn't already have BF then this would be a no brainer though.

Rivals is actually a pretty damn good game overall. Just checked to see how much I could trade it in to Amazon for (I have it for PS4) but they are not accepting trade ins at this time for it, which leads me to believe a bunch of other people had a similar idea. Oh well, will keep it then.

I got rid of my Rivals (One) last week.  Got $22 at Gamestop for it.

 

As soon as I caught wind of it going to the Access.  I jumped up and immediately got rid of it.  Gamestop also happens to be a 6min. drive for me.

Has anyone else had the chance to play this yet? I played through the tutorial last night and started the full game game and it was so slow! It took around 3/4 minutes for the game to load after I chose to play as either a cop or racer and when it did finally load. the HUD disappeared and the screen wouldn't react.Hopefully it was just a one off. Will try again later today.

Yeah that was a very smart move. I waited to long. I had a GameStop that was a minute drive from me, like if I really had to I could walk there, but they closed down. Good news is a comic book store replaced it, which is awesome for me as I started reading comics again after a 20 year break. They will probably close down too though. This particular highway sucks. 

Oh well, the thing that held me back initially was I did play the PS4 version so would have to replay everything I played on it on the One, but then I decided screw it I will do it, but to late it seems. I am actually running some errands in a few minutes with my wife and will be going right past a GameStop, so may bring it with me just to see what they are offering now.

Sorted, tried again with the same issues, noticed that it had only installed 79%. Let it finish and now there are no issues, so much for starting to play whilst it's installing!

I've done that before with Ryse. You can only play what's officially installed on the HDD, not pending data. It does gibpven the impression either the game is locked or broken.
