Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - V1.1 is out. New Cars! New Achievements!

And honestly...why do companies bother making driving games that are less fun with a wheel than they are with a keyboard and mouse setup or controller. I mean, I can understand making sure that KBAM and controller setups are still fun to play, but a wheel should always always be better...because...well...its a wheel. And you're playing a DRIVING game.
But in NFS HP, just like in Carbon, the wheel is twitchy, overly responsive, and completely ridiculous to try to drive with. Its just not possible.
What a stupid fucking game.
To be fair you use wheels for Forza/GT/Shift/Dirt. Games like Burnout/Hot Pursuit are a bit too arcadey for wheels.
why does arcadey mean it has to be shit with a wheel?
If anything it would MORE be suited to a wheel, crazily spinning it back and forth to do insane stuff.
I dunno, it's way twitchier/faster to flick a controller stick back and forth than it is to rotate a wheel. Meh, I dunno.
Cruisin USA, Hydro Thunder, San Francisco Rush, Crazy Taxi etc etc etc, all seemed to do quite well in the arcade with wheels.

But if someone has the choice, I would definitely recommend going console. It makes no sense that this isn't a Steamworks game and Autolog was built around that structure, so it'd be best experienced on XBL or PSN. And I wasn't that impressed by the visuals, either, so I say go console.
Holy crap it's so awesome.

Add me!
Also, I've multiple times had it stop doing anything at all in the menus. The first time it happened right after choosing a car, but before choosing a color. It just showed the background and what keys to press. If I pressed something on the keyboard or on the controller changed what kind of keys it showed, so it wasn't completely frozen. The other times it happened was when I tried to exit while my car hovered in the void and I tried to quit. Those times I just got a black screen.
Brodo, I'll add and we can play if I get it to work right. I verified my files in Steam and it started to download a little more, so hopefully it was Steam that messed up and it'll be fixed after this download.
It's...eh. It's okay. Nothing special. I just expected it to be more Burnout-y, I guess, which it is decidedly not.
Question, though; on the first course of the game, why are there times from my friends that have never played the game, according to their Achievement lists?

Brodo, I tried adding you and it couldn't find you. You could try adding me instead. My in-game name is Peewi.
I think that's because of the demo. The times posted on their speedwall in the demo actually carry over into the full game. I'm not 100% certain if that's really the case, but I do recall that I received some bonus bounty points for having played the demo.
Gonna give it a whirl tonight.

I have it on PC.
Just the DLC. They are still patching it. PC Patch #2 is on the way.
My EA ID : HHHawk
Yeah, because they have their own flavor of it. And it's horrible.
Unfortunately, in the month or so I took off, everybody else still playing the game on PC appears to have seriously improved their skills. I can barely compete online now.
Still disgruntled about the lack of DLC and disingenuous excuse-making on principle, even if I don't particularly care about any of the stuff that's actually in it.
My EA ID is Gaslighter, BTW.
Yeah, that's the case.
And UV, you have to try the cop career, once you're given your equipment that's where it really shines (beyond the stupid time trials).
I agree with what was posted a few pages ago... 2 second collision penalties on cop time trials are not necessary. Pretty sure hitting the wall is a penalty in itself. Everything else in this game rocks.

I raced Peewi a few times tonight. There may have been swearing involved. And me doing a frontflip off an SUV that Peewi knocked into me. And bumping Peewi into the path of a fuckhuge truck.
and frapsing it
Will upload soon
PC name is Warcry616. Add meh.
Also video but not peewi dying

how many people can play online at once, on PC?
I didn't actually know I had knocked a car into you before watching that video.
Does this game tie into Steam or is it some funky EA thing?

EA thing.
Couple things:
I'm glad that I can still do the Autolog thing even though I don't have the EA online pass. I can't actually race online, but I can still get the times of all my friends. I just wish the game didn't ask me to type in a code, sign up for the 2 day pass, or skip every time I turn it on.
When I finish a race, and it asks me whether or not I want to post something, it's talking about the personal recommendations I see from friends on certain races, right? Even if I say no, my time/rank still shows up on other people's lists, they just don't get the "BFicky has a time of 2:30.45 on this race. Wanna try and beat him?" message?
When you have your choice of car on a certain race, how do you pick which car to use? Right now, I'm just going by top speed, which I'm sure is the rookie way of doing it. Do you actually take cars out in freedrive and see how they handle? (Is that the point of freedrive, or is there more to it?) Stick to a certain make/type? Just go with your most recent acquisition?

There's not honestly that much difference between cars. There are slight differences in handling and top speed, but there are few if any events where car choice is ever going to be the difference between you winning and losing. A couple of the Duel races are serious mismatches (like the one I complained about pages and pages ago where the Audi just gets its doors blown off by the Porsche) and that's about it. Pick the car you like/are used to.
