Hey guys, i really loved the demo, i have ordered it from play.com and it should be here tomorow. Ill tell you about it when i get it.

Nino · February 13th, 2006, 21:47

Great, I can't wait to play it but I'm really short on cash so I'll stick to the great demo. Toke me a couple of laps to get into it but now I love it!

Curry · February 13th, 2006, 21:51

Yeah, same for me. At first i thought it sucked pretty much, but after a couple of laps it was getting fun. I won't buy it though, the demo is enough, i think it'll bore me to soon to spend €55 on it

Sorry but I'll have to disagree with all of you, i have played the demo and it seemed like a massive chaos to me. This is a typical game in wich you can't be 'good' or 'bad', it's just pure luck. Also when you hit walls you fly right true then, and the self destruct button will get you back on the track, that's so lame

Conclusion: Totally not my type of game

That's what I thought at first too, then I played it some more and learned to love it. It's really hectic just like Burnout but I like it that way.

I actually enjoyed the game, but it seems I'm like.. the only one!... Also, can't say it's really worth the 5,5 OXM gave it. It's just too low for such a easy to pick up and play game.

Too bad the framedrops are in the retail version too, or so it seems.

Didn't had the chance to test it longer, played it 2 times, then deleted the crap from my console

Did you crap on your console?

No seriously, you should download it again!

Wow I really hoped that would be a demo only thing

Aye. Bad bad luck... Well, the early reviews said it was the case, not sure if our PAL version has the same bad framerates. You never know...

Would be a damn shame though.

Nino · February 13th, 2006, 23:41

Hmm Major Nelson was pretty excited though, I'll see. Good thing the X360 has a little thing called patches. (yeah I'm aware of the downside too)

Edit: Xboxyde is really disappointed :/.

If the game doesn't sell well, they won't patch is my guess. But hey, EA doesn't even patch if the game does sell well.

Guess they fucked up with Full Auto...

Messiah · February 14th, 2006, 03:43

I really looked forward to Full Auto, but with the bad framerate (I had it also in the demo about 20 fps and less) I hoped they did fix it in the final version, because the more i played the demo, more i began to like the demo. But the framedrops are still there in the final version. So no Full Auto for me.

Aift · February 14th, 2006, 03:49

Why does the framerate reallly matter? The game still looks and plays good. Obviously they will try to make the game as good as possible, so just lighten up on the game

Grady Durden · February 14th, 2006, 04:18

I hope that it's good. It seems like Microsoft's answer to Twisted Metal but that game wasn't very good in the first place.

I rather have good graphics and a stable framerate than awesome graphics and framedrops. Framedrops mess up your gameplay and are just plain annoying.

Absolutely. Frequent framedrops are the epitome of unplayable games. Full Auto probably went too berserk on its damage model, those physics calculations are sooooo CPU-intensive.

Well, if it was bullet time it would be fine. But instead everything starts stuttering so you can't control your vehicle anymore

You really love eye-candy that much that you are satisfied with < 30 FPS?

The stuttering make's the game suck. Otherwise i would think about it to buy the game. Now i'm gonna spend it on Fight Night 3!!!!!!!
