Oh, no, it's the bumper cam.
My EA account was already logged in when I played somehow (tied to my PSN account maybe?), so I don't know.
I love bumper cam I love being able to remove gas/break to left analog stick.
I do wish you could do any event in any car
I fail miserably at medium races don't want to think about hard
If it's cinematic when you crash there should at least be an option for cinematic takedowns
Loving it so far gonna add some gaf players tonight

It feels like a perfect handheld game as well.

Stuttering during the intro cinematic. Hmm.....,

I picked up th 360 version this morning and can't wait to give it a go. I'm pretty sure that I'll be grabbing the Vita version off of PSN sometime very soon too.
when I heard Criterion was developing, I dropped the PS3 version, currently downloading in my Vita
The video? Which version?
That's one area where the Vita version was 100% smooth. Now, playing a 30 fps video doesn't seem like a big deal, but so many PC games struggle to do this properly.

Anyone else noticing the sound levels are really low? Just playing Hot Pursuit last night and that game is mega loud on 15 via my stereo. This game was downright quiet at 15, and even after turning all the in game sound options up to their max, I still had to turn it up to 17 to about equal Hot Pursuit at 15.
It's also a little odd how using boost doesn't really offer up an audio cue that it's being used. I think it has a sound effect associated with it, but it's very subtle.
360 version installed. The cinematic intro where they show various shots of the city with slow pans. It wasn't stuttering like mad, but there were definitely little stutters happening throughout.

So, graphically, Most Wanted Vita looks nice. Not impressive, but not terrible.
Criterion managed to squeeze in image-based lighting so the cars you drive look great. But other cars seem use much less detailed models, with simplistic lighting and polygons.
All of the alpha effects are low resolution, like Uncharted. Sparks, dust, glare, ect. The effects in general are toned down.
Pop in is everywhere in the distance, and occasionally happens a bit closer, but it's not that distracting.
It seems to display at a mostly locked 30fps, but I keep thinking it runs at slightly less for some reason. Maybe I'll discover why as I play.
My thoughts on gameplay and ect will come later.

Mine just connected to the one associated with my PSN account.
are you surprised that the graphics aren't as good as the PC version? the vita graphics seem pretty incredible to me.

Everything I've seen points to that too. I've watched the video and all the screenshots don't really do it justice. Like almost every Vita game on the OLED.
I chose to buy that today so I'm downloading it now.

I feel this way.
PC graphics are good but not blowing my mind and I have everything on max. While the Vita looks a lot better than some had said.

Thanks to redeeming a Gamestop Power Up coupon, got the game for $29!
How big is the download?
I haven't started the download yet, but it should be the same as the full game... 4.5GB.
I have seen it asked a few times, and I'm trying to keep up with the pc performance thread, review thread, and OT thread, but geez. That's a lot of reading.
I am having a tough time deciding between the PC port which people are complaining about framerate, yet it'd still definitely be an upgrade to a console version. Or the Vita version, which cant compare with the PC version, but well I really love my Vita.
The actual question: Is there any kind of cloud feature where I can bounce the same account or save file between both the Vita version and the PC? Any benefit what so ever to having this game on two platforms or would I basically be playing the same career mode twice. (With the few small race differences the Vita has)
Anybody who can give a definite answer on this, thanks.

I think you can only do that between PS3 and Vita. It's the reason I went with that combo over the PC.
Captured some gameplay.. certainly is growing on me..
This race was super intense. Shows off cops getting involved and some awesome jumps. Was in the Nissan GTR for this race
http://youtu.be/ik-0lWQTkAc
This video shows off the Lamborghini Gallardo driving to an event and then the race itself.
http://youtu.be/Mn81GBlLGAU
You can notice 2 times right off the bat in the second video where the screen freezes for just a split second. Really is annoying as it seems to be random but happens more often when in tunnels.
Anyways the game is starting to grown on me big time.

Seems that autolog should track your SP and race times, speed camera speeds etc across platforms. Someone on the vita thread specifically mentioned his 360 version showing the SP earned from his earlier vita session.
Not full saves though. Gates and billboards you have to do again, not sure about races completed or cars unlocked
Thanks. I can't believe there wasn't an interview or dev comment discussing this somewhere.
Surprised? Not at all.
I just wanted to throw out my impressions of the visuals for people considering getting the Vita version. I didn't intend to sound negative, really. To me, Most Wanted Vita looks quite nice.
=( ok...
To elaborate - anyone calling this "Burnout Paradise 2" doesn't deserve to write about racing games. The only similarity they share is that they are both open world racing games. The handling is different (as described by many people in the thread, cars feel much heavier and more realistic), the setup for switching cars and competing in races is poor (switching cars forces you to switch to the location where you found them, each race is specific to a car), there is very little variety to the single player missions, there's no takedown cams, the rubber band AI is frustrating, and it doesn't seem like there is all that much content to single player. I played for less than an hour and with multiple restarts in a few races I managed to complete "10%" of the single player. I'm very disappointed and regretting pre-ordering the game.
I also really hate the excessive bloom and lens flares.

The racing itself is as good as the racing in BP. Course the racing was the low point of BP so I suppose that isn't saying much.

Can you elaborate more on this please?
As someone who was infuriated by the rubber-band AI in Hot Pursuit, I'm still on the fence about this one simply due to the cheating AI BS.
Nope. But it's a fantastic game.

Anyone want to give PC Multiplayer a go? Interested to see how good it is.

Downloading PS3 version from PSN now. It's slower than usual today. Figures.
If you're up for it in about a half hour, just need to go to the bank. (Origin name is the same)

To show the damage
Needless to say the game looks good on Vita.
I got extremely frustrated last night because it felt like the first 70-90% of the race didn't even matter. Get an early lead? Doesn't matter because if you fuck up near the end they'll zoom past you. Crash in the beginning? That's okay! You've got the whole race to spend zigzagging with the other cars.

Lots of opinions there.
No, this is not Burnout Paradise 2, but no one should ever think it was going to be. It has lots of influences of that game, but it's still a Need for Speed game.
