Just me or did that trailer feel like it was made for Radio 1 or something?

Deffo aimed at a young demographic but Im pretty sure thats the target audience anyways.

Looks like a game to mess about with mates on a friday night with a beer in rather than something youd want to spend a week off work playing.

Yeah, not sure why they've bothered with wheel support for something with what looks like pretty gash driving physics (on purpose of course) I think this is a pad only game really.

It's actually a pretty fun game. It's good to see they've added manual gears but bonet/cockpit cam would have been good too.

Wish they had the driving type physics of NFSU2, A lot less arcadey than this and more fast and furious type feel.

I've got my copy preloaded . I'm hoping I can game at 1440p with my setup but seeing as they recommend a 970 for 1080p I'm guessing I'll have to turn a few settings down.

Straight of the bat I can see a few cars that should have been put in the game from the start but hoepfully they'll keep releasing them in the free content patches.

Just had a look - you've got 35 mins before it releases (assuming it's not geographically set)
how long have they been doing this play ten hours early access for $6.99 a month rubbish? I don't mind the idea of the vault though but not sure it's worth it. Anyway I'm derailing..

Looks like it should be a fun game but yeah not an overly serious sim but then there are plenty of other options for that. NFS has always been about massive speed, big accidents and dodging the cops. IMHO anyways. Enjoy it!

I've bought it mostly for the customization and driving around with mates.

Move to Aus - we're in the future!

Yeah should be a fun game but for $100 I'll give it a miss for now.

Most CDkey sites are doing it for £30/$56AUD which is a good deal less. I'd hate to spend any more on a PC game from EA/most AAA publishers.

Yeah that's not a bad way to do it as long as the keys are legit. Amazing how the boxed copies are the same price as digital content. I do miss the old days of seeing what was included like the manuals, key cards, stickers and other bonus loot. Plus... Aus internet is fail.

This is mainly why I want to get the game so I can rise round with some mates ^_^

Currently preloading my copy too... Underground 2 was one of my all time favourite games and although I'm aware this isn't as good, I'm looking forward to modding some cars for nostalgia. Obligatory 2fast2furious skyline/evo shall be made
