Saw it at a friends PC today, better than I expected I must say but felt like the games name should be NFS: Burnout Lite :p

I understand what you're saying, but the cops vs racers thing has a strong history in NFS that wouldn't have made much sense as a Burnout game.

All I know is: if it's from Criterion I'm buying it.

I know that much randomevent but hadn't Paradise had "Cops and Robbers"? I never actually played that DLC so I wouldn't know how it compares :pinch:

And WastedJoker, my friend and I came to pretty much the same conclusion :p

Yes; they do (especially in jurisdictions where the officers/deputies take their cruisers home).

In fact, in most states, nitrous itself is not illegal for use on street vehicles - the bugbear is impact on emission standards (which no street-legal vehicle gets a pass at violating, including the police).

Maryland - except for the city of Baltimore, most local municipalities, and all counties, as well as the state's own public-safety agencies, have a "take-home" policy regarding police vehicles. (Amusingly, Prince George's County, MD has a "take-home" policy regarding most automobile-type official vehicles; the exception is - surprisingly - vehicles assigned to the County Council, due to recent abuses and a string of DUIs involving members of the Council; the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission changed to a similar policy, for a similar reason.)

Well in Florida they sure don't, they are the slowest cars I've seen and if your going fast enough they wont even chase you...

My only issue is that the feel of the drive is poor. burnout Paradise felt like you were more connected to the road.

Also agreed. It really doesn't feel like you're going very fast unless you're using nitrous or boost.

When you crash and have to start from a dead stop... UHG! It's so frustrating how it feels like it's taking forever to speed up.

agree. The cars feel like trucks :D but apart from that game is amazing.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this... Honestly it's the reason why I'm steering clear (heh heh... steer...) of this game until it becomes a little more realistic in pricing. Besides, I just got Forza 3. That should tide me over for a while.

Dunno tbh Im not a fan. Played the game thru a bit now and its not for me i dont think. Still feels like a naff arcade racer with very little compelling me to play on. Cornering is little more than a drift showcase and whilst the Nitro and use of short cuts helps to make you want to shift a few seconds of your attempts I just dont feel theres anything special here.

Yeh its a great NFS game and probs the best in a good wee while, but I still feel like its lost its edge and that theres better games out there, such as Burnout or even the under rated Blur. Maybe its me and i just cant help escape the fact that I still feel NFS has had its day and nothing short of a complete re-hash from the ground up is gonna re-vitalize.

Also what happened to the tuning etc?

I would give this game a 6/10. Its not worth giving this more and I'm surprised to see those great reviews. I also wouldn't recommend this title to anyone because there are much better titles compared to this.

The main reasons why I don't like this game.

  • Nothing new and no storyline.
  • Feels like burnout to me, no wonder its by criterion
  • Driving cars feels so uneasy and its like driving a truck
  • Game intro is huge and annoying and is also difficult to skip
  • This game needs an adblock plus bigtime :D because every time I unlock something the game has movies /cut scenes which cant be skipped. The game stutters as well even though i have a decent specs for my comp

Played the game, and while it's not bad i'm more of a fan of the open world driving games. I really hope Criterion releases a new Burnout soon, loved Paradise. I'll wait for a price drop before picking this up.

Also: Does anyone feel like it was ported to PC from consoles? There are no options to change graphics qualities that i can find, and it overall feels like a console game.

for me, if arcade, then it was nfs hp2, MW the best

in those games, atleast there was some weight to the car & there was no compulsory "drift in corners" physics.

i think criterion copied DiRT2's corner concept - drift mode at every turn/corner :p

no standing start

worse rubberband AI than MW.

tank like AI cars

no championship type races

this game kind of gets boring after a while.

Cops and Robbers was a multiplayer mode. I don't know what all it had as I don't play online usually, but it definately wasn't a full game in and of itself. (I did watch some videos about it.)

As to the comments about it being drift happy, yeah the initial cars tend to be but drifting too much will put a serious dent into your times. I (sadly) am not the best racer so the two people on my friends list are usually stomping on me.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
