Few more things from the FAQ

1. Every car is unlocked from the beginning of the game*. You just need to purchase it.
2. Game is running off Frostbite
3. You can play the game without PS+ or XBL but you will to play with other players.
4. Plans for free updates, no plans for paid DLC (or so they say)
5. No microtransactions
6. You can't be the police

*I believe you need to play through the career to get the M3 E46 as they say you need to "unlock" it. Or maybe that's just the GTR bodykit/wrap. Hopefully they explain this at some point.
 
Without the PS+ or XBL ? Does that means offline mode is possible ?
There is a "Solo" mode that puts you against AI (also in the FAQ) but you still need an internet connection. No PS+/XBL needed to play that.
 
For the first time, no PAID DLC? From EA? Am I reading this right? FREE future contents? Damn.

'Sabout damn time. Good for you, EA. Also the decision to delay the PC version was a wise move. They better learn from Arkham Knight's disastrous PC launch and apply it to all future PC third party games to be developed ALONGSIDE the console version, not as if its developed FROM it.

This is an unprecedented move from an EA title, I believe. Lets hope next time, this doesn't need to happen at all and PC port will be done at the same time and will be glorious.

At this point I probably won't get it anymore, wrong Supra and leaving PC's as an afterthought, not good signs on the development-front.

How did they leave it as an after thought clearly it couldn't be made in the same respect as console on time cause Allah knows every flippin PC user wont be happy if even a single frame drops. And thus you get this, put a smile on and wait until spring at this point.

As for the Supra...really? I mean I could understand generation or something to that affect but...same gen and just the non turbo version of th 2jz with vvt. Which can easily be transformed into RZ spec which will probably be what happens int he game. Yet this is a non buy because it's not the RZ from the drop...that's a bit elitist of an attitude.
 
The Polish Need for Speed website (seemingly mistakenly) lists the Ferrari F40.

Enzo Ferrari as well at the bottom.

Ferrari F40 is a racer, created for on-road use, as well as the last car produced before the death of the great Enzo Ferrari. Often called "the best supercar in the world" Italian icon has timeless silhouette characteristic of Ferrari, as well as panels of Kevlar and carbon composites, the doers body stronger and lighter. Driven by a roaring V8 engine with two turbochargers Ferrari F40 is a real masterpiece of motoring.
 
Pushing the PC version back to polish it up, to me, is a good thing to do as it'll give me much more time to digest all the other games I'll be playing this holiday. 👍
 
It says no paid DLC at the moment, you guys are acting like they said theyre not going to make anymore add on content.
 
At least the Ferrari F40 being in could mean more Ferraris to come, especially dat LB 458.
 
Enzo Ferrari as well at the bottom.
The Italian guy, not the car.
Well this does mean that the F40 will be in the game, without them actually informing us officially.

Which means the Liberty Walk version will be in too. This is goooood. Don't add too much options for the car though, it would just butcher it.
Doesn't the LB car have a stock body?
 
Q) Will the game have split screen?
A) We wanted to maximise the visual fidelity of the game with the focus given to the full screen experience.
I love how they then bring up split screen again with an unconfirmed answer.
Q) Will there be manual transmission / split screen / wheel support?
A) There are many features that people are asking for, these are among many things that we are investigating.

Translation: No, no, and no.

About the delayed PC version, I'm actually happy about. If they're actually going to take the time to improve the game, then go right ahead. And by actually, I mean giving us a game that will not be optimized like garbage.
 
Damn, some spectacular news today! Unexpected as well, given it's EA...

Now, all I need is the confirmation of the R8 (or any other fast Audi, but I prefer the R8), and you can have my 45£, EA!
 
WOOHOO!! 6 month delay sucks but it will be worth the wait, it was 1.5 years for the PC version of GTA 5. Kind of scary to think they were probably going to release it with 30fps lock again but at least they came to their senses. Small victory for those of us who have been harassing the devs on social media/reddit about the issue.

For being a ‘next-gen’ game, EA ignoring the possibilities of having 60fps (something a few 'new' console games are boasting about having lately I believe) and making the decision, right off the bat, to cap the game to the ‘old-gen’ standard of 30fps and tying the game physics to it, shows me they never intended to leave room for growth on the PC platform, thus my comment.

Also, punctuation for that first sentence, please use it. Allah help you with your anger. ;)

Yes, Really. I am unmovable on this subject, I am not elitist - I am passionate for one of my favorite cars, which is not seeing the treatment it deserves, considering the franchise's past.

We’ve been over this in the thread previously, there are notable performance differences between the two (which for a street-racing game, performance should be a concern), and saying the SZ-R "can easily be transformed into RZ spec" in-game (which to me should at least include the RZ-longblock, 6-speed Getrag trans, and RZ-specific rear-end ratio) is quite a claim, especially seeing how such a possibility has never been seen or done in a EA NFS game, and shows no signs of happening at this time.

If EA wants to address this matter directly and prove me wrong, I'll gladly take it all back. - Until then, wrong Supra :p

I want to believe that there is an F40 in this game but it almost sounds too good to be true.
It's taken from the official website, and is written in the same style as the other descriptions. Pretty sure it's accidental confirmation, especially when they have a recent model to work with and the licensing.

On the contrary, if the F40 will have a lot of cosmetic options to choose from, it just makes the people driving stock F40s look that much cooler.

What anger? Please don't convey tone to a post when it is a collection of words that inhabit no tone. That and the puncation comment seem like cheap and simple ways to mitigate from the point. Also this isn't EA only doing this if it was strictly Electronic Arts building the game I could see that, Ghost are obviously trying to do a good job with the resources given to them by EA and are trying to do right by PC fans. However, truth be told, PC isn't the center of the gaming universe despite what the master race thinks (I predominantly play PC games) and that holds much more true when dealing with cross platform games.

Good for you, I wasn't looking to move or persuade just expose how elitist in nature that attitude can be, and give a counter point to those who may not be so concise with where they are about purchasing this game. There are noticeable differences between the two stock, after market (which the game promotes) is entirely different and SZ vs RZ argument not only falls apart here but on the various Supra forums as well. So let's put truth to this, the SZ-R in later years could be obtained with a V161 Six Speed, which was the getrag. You could also get the Torsen LSD just with slightly different gearing between the SZ-R and RZ for obvious reasons. As for the engine...the only difference was the heads the block was the same.

The funny part is you hold the game to a standard of other NFS games, when most of the NFS games in the past say five years haven't been tune and street race oriented like this. And very few nfs games are. This game actually is working with several tuners and shops to make a more expansive market with options, so you trying to split hairs among apples and oranges is just that.

I should make it clear I couldn't care less if you buy the game or not but the exaggerated reasons should be countered. That's all.
 
What anger?

That whole first sentence, the 'Allah' one, if you will (where did he come into that anyway ?). It comes across as you having a thing against PC gamers, tossing me in with that though I don't recall personally rubbing 'muh PC mastir rayce' in anyone's face outside of a sarcastic manner over in the AC forums I think. Same with calling me an elitist, simply for my opinion.

But, can we do any of this in-game?. Because that's the issue here, not what could be done in the real world, but what EA/Ghost is actually going to let us do, if at all.

The last 'tuner' NFS games (NFSU I & II) I recall having a Supra RZ at launch, now that their spiritual-successor is coming, why drop the RZ ?, that's my grievance. The time spread here also doesn't change the fact that, at this time, 'part-swaps' are highly unlikely to come in a manner, that will allow SZ-R to RZ conversions.

Plus remembering how these games go, I do wonder if 'the cost' to get the Supra up to what it should be, will add overhead to the overall cost of it, versus other cars like the Spirit-R RX7 which is good to go from the start.
