Had a couple of hours play. The stand out criticism is the quite ridiculous rubber banding in the races, it makes the game almost broken. The game feels quite rushed, there isn't nearly as much to do as BP, with regards to challenges and things like that. Hopefully the online will be better.
 
Have you guys ever considered that they may be unlocked by finding all the speed cameras, billboards or gates? This hasn't been mentioned by anyone here yet to my knowledge.

The rubber banding is messed up, but honestly, if Criterion never had that in there, races would be too damn easy.
 
Is anyone playing this game with a Thrustmaster t500? what settings are you using? I am interested in picking this game up.. but first would like to know how the wheel would work. even if that means putting it in compatability mode. Thanks.

This. Totally forgot about this. Criterion's had to put bonuses for finding these like they did in Paradise, if not, then why put them there? Billboards I can see for challenges, but why the gates if not to get something?
 
Played this for a few hours, and I'm very pleased. I love the fact police are in Blacklist races, that was something I felt the original was lacking. Drifting is quite easy, I tend to e drift round sharp turns and power over drift on curved bends. MP is downright amazing, its fun having a bash with other people. My only gripe is that the Blacklist AI rubberbands, a lot. You can takedown the 4C in a worked BMW M3 (M3 is faster than 4C) and within seconds in on your tail. Great game. @AOS-, I need a challenge on the Speedwalls, I can't see your times! ;)
 
I told you guys.... Jumping Jacks, Cosworth Impreza, 1:35.xx. I haven't signed into PSN with the game running yet still. :p

Other than Jumping Jacks, I've also worked on a time on Mud Bath, also with the Impreza.

BTW, if anyone wants to know, a fast way to get Off-Road Pro Tires without having to experience "grinding" is to play Mud Bath or just follow the circuit for about 2 laps and you'll have it unlocked.
 
The intro sound playing when you are on Heat Level 6 is pure epicness. I had a Explorer Cop flatten me followed by an armored SWAT van creaming me into road kill before I get busted.

PS. When you get busted you just return to the previous Jack Spot you used. No Nissan Versa.
 
Is there a way to watch the intro again? I liked it soo much. Yeah probably on youtube, but also from within the game?

Actually, I can confirm this myself that finding all billboards and gates probably won't unlock any offline content. I just did a check and the 6 jack spots I'm missing are just the same cars I already have. Not that I need exact coordinates, but can someone who has all 3 locations unlocked for the following cars tell me the locations they're found in according to easydrive?

-Corvette ZR1
-Ford GT
-Jaguar XKR
-Aston V12
-Audi A1
-Dodge Challenger

Thanks.
 
It came today! :D

And well, I'm mighty impressed, this seems to be the definitive social gaming experience it's tipped to be. Just looks as if it's ousting Blur so far.

The multiplayer bit is superb, I'm hooked. The racing to the start, the assortment of challenges (race, drifting, speedtest, jump test, take downs) and the constant unlocking of stuff is great! 👍
 
Guys I'm closing in on a 100%. Found all jackspots,billboards,smash gates speed cameras. Beat the top 10. All I must do now to finish gold with each cars five events.

AOS- The Tesla has a purpose. Insane torque. It's meant to weave about and be very agile. Also it's very quiet. Also for your jack spot hints try the airfield and the park. Those where I found my last ones. 98% done

Airfield! Where is that!

Up near the top of the map, can't remember the exact name of the area but most cars should have a race there, I know the Focus RS and Raptor have one there.
 
This is going to take longer than expected. I wonder do I got to get gold in all events with each car or just do all events? I'm checking my progress and it consistently says 58 out of 61.
 
Owning a lot of guys from here with my fully Pro Gallardo, dhandeh that multiplayer session was fun :sly:
 
Are there other people who have to reconnect to autolog every 20 minutes or so?
 
Autolog signing out is glitching my game. It's taking away speed points making Blacklist races relock after I already beaten them but the points randomly come back. So screw it I'll finish the game offline.
 
I git the Huayra and Agera R a while ago. But I still have a ton of races to do an some other stuff to look for. Nobody o my friends list has this game though. :(
 
^ I'll add you when I get on later (if you're on PS3). And maybe put your name in the friend request thread, worked for me.
