Viper007Bond
It was released yesterday and it fucking rocks: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=7978

Gonna buy it without a doubt. It's like NFS: Hot Pursuit 3. They took the best parts of HP2 (cops, exotics, more exotics, etc.) and combined it with the best of the Underground titles (free roam, customization, etc.).

Some screenies I made:








There's also the new Mustang hardtop in red.

Mmmm, the new Viper SRT-10 Coupe. drool3.gif










And some other cars:





Jordan
wow, what are the requirments?
Viper007Bond
Claimed minimum specs are as follows, but with these kinda specs, the game is gonna look like crap. I'd say at least like a 9800 Pro or 6600 would be a good idea.

Sounds pretty cool, the last hot pursuit for ps2 was a really awesome game and that + customization would be sweet!

It's definetly no Gran Turismo, I know that, but it's a hella lot better than HP2. Hell, you can actually pull a cookie / powerslide. I still find it fun. :?

overall very impressed with the demo...been waiting for this for a long time. however it needs some tweaking and optimising to make it perfect. there are some parts where the FPS drops heavily and this shouldnt happen. looks like a very promising titile.

Smooth as a baby's butt here. Get a less shitty PC / turn down the settings / get more RAM. wink.gif

Ya my laptop sucks ass but i can run it at 1024 with the minimum basic settings so its not bad. Frankly I like it I just wish the steering wasn't as floaty. The dynamic enviroment is nice but it can make you fail. I have been only playing the viper part and I think I evaded the cops for about 9 min. Pffff.
dukenukem
any faster download sites ?

I used gamespot and got it in about 20mins or so. Anyways, I think it looks really goood graphically, but I hate the steering in it for some reason. I find the steering from the NFSU series to be better than this for an arcade game. Maybe I just need to get used to it or something, but I've found it to be really annoying.
CRiZO
I've been playing it all day, and the steering is still retarded.

Fucking fun game though.

Truth. Fun!

Yay looks good the game, however crap my system specs is top notch...just my 9600XT might not be enough..
Gonna prob dl the iso and see if it can even run well.

My rig is a geezer and it runs fine @ 1024x768. (AMD XP2200, 1GB RAM, eVGA Geforce 5900SE).

Why not white edition? :|
The NFS series just continues to get worse and worse. Lets all have a moment of silence to remember back in the day when the NFS series was good.

Spike23
Well it seems the offical release date is tommorow =), lots of the isos are floating around now.
Boxster17
All the ISOs that are around are ones for the PS2, pretty sure they don't have PC ones out there yet.

Viper007Bond
I'm just past 50% done with the career and I've done about a third of the challenges.

And here's my current baby in career mode. happy2.gif

i just rented it last night for xbox, the driving physics are nice, but the cinematics piss me off.
cobaltSS=win!
Halflifehavock13
The cinematics seem like it came from a b rated racing movie that tried to look like sin city.

How much time have you put in? I think the game is way to short.

I'm driving a supercool supercharged Cadillac CTS, BTW

Oh crap...



It ended badly. sad.gif

It's the 'heat' of your car. The higher the number, the more agressive the cops get. They are also going to use better cars. First cruisers later GTO's, SUV's, C6's etc.

It is only in the Black Edition. it isn't a career veheicle, only availlable for challenges ( it think) and quick races.
Spike23
Finally beat the game...=P
its alright i guess. THe game overall gave me lots of time to kill. However i found something that don't know if you all did. The motion blur effects fuks my eyes..or maybe i played too much hours of it non stop. Yea other than that good game. Just uninstalled it to save my eyes. thumbs_up.gif
