not bad
i mean nuttin ill buy
but not bad
@2: Stop bein a fantoy, of course GT5 is goin to blow it out, but cmon its jus a game, give it a chance

hope they revive the n4speed series soda pop need for speed use to be top notch.

I hope they do too. I loved the first ones (except for NFS 2 which was horrible). I'm pretty sure this will be good, it's being developed by a great team.

lol @ disagrees from insecure GT fanboys.

open zone ------>

on topic, seems pretty good, i like the way how the whole car moves when you change a gear that is pretty good.

Gameplay seems a lot like granturismo, i.e. using other car's brakes lol...

Some people do it not everyone lol...

Don't see why i should go for this instead of granturismo though

Man you fanboys really latch on to Gran Turismo way too much. The company who did this made the highest rated PC racing sim in the past 5 years. They know what they're doing, and without assists this is supposed to be even more realistic than GTR2. Which would make it the most realistic racer available. These guys have been doing sims for awhile. Just because there isn't a million cars doesn't make the game bad. I mean hell, almost all of the cars in Gran Turismo are street cars. Who really wants to race a street car when you could have one tuned for racing, and not have to grind away for 20+ hours to get anything near racing class.

nvm...

“We don’t pretend to compete with Gran Turismo for technological achievement as well as what I would call a ‘driving simulator’,” said the developer. “That’s not the fun angle we’re going after.”

“We’re going after… what it means to be in a race, in a grid of hard competitors who will battle for position, and who will make the organic nature of the race more about performing at that level and less about the challenge of driving in a straight line.”

Despite wanting to offer something different to GT, however, Abney said Shift is paying close attention to Polyphony’s work.

“For us we look at games like GT, Forza 2 and GRiD as the high water mark,” he added.

The games are already preserved. Hence their existence on the digital stores to begin with. This is no different than when Disney put movies in the vault, only to bring them back years later.

At least it is available digitally. They give you a warning, and if you purchase it, then you will still always have access to it. They will also make it available again one day when it makes sense, but right now I imagine that <100 a day play these games.

Good luck buying Need for Speed: Carbon brand new from a store.

All games have a shelf life. These games are three generations old and had massive circulation. I don't think it is EAs problem if you haven't picked them up by now.

Not a fan of those games either, but I think you miss the point: even if someone—for whatever reason—wants to buy those games digitally, they can't. And the transition toward digital platforms makes the issue that much worse. Nevermind buying physical at outrageous prices from online sellers, you literally can't play them if you have an all-digital device.

Kombatologist is exactly right: it is an issue from the perspective of preservation that is likely to get worse with the rise of streaming.

Removed from storefronts so my guess is it's only about digital purchase.

He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"
