The Godzilla achievement was a piece of cake. I was able to get a gold medal in the Run to the Hills event in the GT-R Spec V with no weapons... on my first try, no less!

So it arrived yesterday, and I just started playing it today. OMFG THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER! Holy crap I am amazed by the graphics and all of the detail they put into it. Also the cars control well and look amazing.
This is my favorite game on PS3 so far. If they make a Hot Pursuit 2 I'll definitely buy it
Hot Pursuit is so much better than Burnout Paradise.

gonna sit this game out till its $15 in bargain bins
any game that feels like it needs to release a timed demo is probably not worth my time

It's fun and worth the money, although I essentially bought the Limited Edition for 33 bucks...
I was complaining there wasn't a demo but it seems totally worth the cost.

so there's no 360 demo yet?
frAntic_Frog said:
The timed demo was a strange decision, but it is a really great racing game. The driving is perfect for me, it's not as arcadey as Burnout but it's still a fantasy racer, not boring sim shit. I love flying down an icey road at 200mph in a Lamborghini, it just feels right. But the game is packed with a lot of content and cool features, I'm very happy with it.
no harm in waiting, but let it be known that it's worth a purchase for any racing fan
That's what he was referring to. There was a demo, but they deleted it around the time the game came out.

- new trophies/achievments
3 new cars (cop/racer versions so 6 really)
- Porsche 911 GT2 RS
- GUMPERT Apollo S
- Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport (i've seen this before online, it has a yellowish bottom colour, i always wondered how someone got this, certain ppl must have had this dlc)

Online seems to be the best way if you win.Beezy said:

December 21st.
EDIT: DAMN YOU iNvidious01!!! :lol
Thanks and woot for cheap dlc. I hope they don't take up too much space.iNvidious01 said:
AlphaTwo, I've been playing online for the past few days and winning hot pursuit as a cop online is way harder than winning as a racer, especially since the other cops on my team usually don't know what they're doing. It would take me at least a month to level up that way.

Yup, a good team is key. I've had races where cops were targeting me instead of racers. They were pretty upset that I was in front of the pack and not them, even though we're on the same team. :lolBeezy said:

I tend to play this game without a headset... But I've gotten my lazy-ass up and plugged in a headset just to call teammates cocksuckers. I HATE when my own cops EMP me. I understand that locking on to a fellow cop can be incidental, but once you do it, pull your E brake asshole. I've lost a few races as a cop because the guy with a sliver of health escaped this way.
AlphaTwo00 said:
So I have a question about this. I always try to be a team player when I play online (which admittedly isn't very much). Given the pace of the game and how fast it is, how do you not end up hitting your team mates sometimes? I get with the emp, you can hit the brakes, but I accidentally ram other cops all the time when trying to take down another racer. So whats the ettiquite on this?

Question. Is it possible to get my savegame from one account to another? I'm playing on my European account (standard), but I imported the game since I'm a cheap bastard. Problem is I can't use my online pass and can't play online at all, unless I use my US account. And that one has 0% progress...

well here are my tips (yeah im pretty good )
PLAYING AS RACER
3 strategies i employ depending what type of cops/racers im playing against
bad cops and racers
- speed ahead
- stay in front
- cross the line first
usually im so far ahead i don't even need to use my weapons and nobody catches up
just let the noobs battle it out at back
good cops but bad racers
- hang back usually behind a few cops near last place
- reserve health and reserve weapons
- let cops focus their energies on the guys in front
both cops and racers will have used up about 80-90% of their weapons, and cops are usually on yellow health and racers on red
when the time is right catch up and start taking out any cops you pass with EMPs and spikes - this should put em on red health
takedown any racers left with normal takedowns if possible to save weapons, if not just be sure to eliminate em or overtake em
now you can finish the race with most racers gone (or on red health and driving very carefully) AND cops at red health - both will have hardly any weapons left
good cops and good racers
pretty much the same strategy as above for good cops, BUT with good racers your taking a risk by hanging back near last place.
Good racers will be able to take out cops, and if they're ahead of you will usually be able to stay ahead until the end.
Both good cops and racers will know to save some weapons until the end
So all you can do here is follow a few golden rules
- Always save weapons until the middle-last bit of the race - don't even need to use em in the first few miles, e.g if a cop has EMP on you don't waste jammer early, spin around
- Taking 1st place early on ain't a good idea because of roadblocks and choppers, aim for 2nd or 3rd until you think cops have used the majority of their weapons
- Fight cops, don't try and outrun them because they're always faster than you with tuned cars and faster replenishing nitrous. If need be get behind em and EMP em
- Take the good shortcuts wherever possible to avoid choppers/roadblocks
- Always take the opportunity to takedown another racer, its a race after all
PLAYING AS COPS
only 1 strategy really which works for almost all games.
- Don't waste your weapons early on, an early roadblock and chopper won'd do anything. Instead let your fellow cops use all their weapons to slow down racers and lower their health, then you can come in for the cleanups with EMPs and spike strips.
- Save a roadblock and chopper until the last parts of the race, roadblock could be what stops someone from crossing the line, and a chopper spike is bound to get a bust when a red health racer is towards the end
- Don't underestimate smashing into racers. A good smash to the side can do a ton of damage, try and deal as much damage this way as possible and finish racers with your weapons
- When a racer crashes e.g roadblock try and pin him down, if your quick enough you can get an easy bust if your car is close enough

So no free DLC it seems. There's no way it's going to hit 400k more views in 2 days.

^^ They should just make it free! I mean, than what's the point of the limited edition thing?

Did you purchase it used? You should have the Limited Edition/Online code that came with the game. Than I believe it should work.VsRobot said:Just snagged the game today, loving it (which I expected, I loved Paradise), only problem is I know people on my PSN friends list have this game but my Autolog is blank. Does it take time to sync or something? Autolog was one of the things I was most looking forward to.

Terrible music, game's pretty fun. So much fucking waiting around in terms of presentation, sure the load times are great but every race I have to sit there for 20+ seconds looking at what new car I've won or some stupid intro to the race which I don't care about.
Either way solid racer. Can't see myself spending a ton of time with it but a nice game for relaxing with a custom soundtrack.
