Need for Speed: Rivals

Well this is unexpected...

I mean, I expected the XKR-S or the F-Type, but definitely not this... All I can say is "God damn, that's exiting!".
 
Is that a C-X75.

A C-X75.

A C-X75.

Ohmigodohmigodohmigod
Yep, that really is the jet-powered Jaaaaaaaag concept that never made into production and only five have been made. This is freaking awesome. And, if we get this in the DLC, what the hell else can we expect?!
 
Not jets anymore, now a twincharged 4-cylinder 💡

Guess this blows that "leaked" DLC out of the water. :lol:
Well, I was refering to the concept, but yes, I know that the 5 made don't have the jet-engines. Although, we don't now what they modeled, the concept or the prototype.

And yes, the "leaked" DLC is now irrelevant. Will be interesting to see what they will bring us...
 
Hey guys I was planning on getting a copy of this game for my PS3. Would you recommend it to me? Is it better than Most Wanted 2012?
 
Hope it's some DLC. Would be nice to hear Ghost Games is doing well after those layoffs.
We get a trailer for The Order tomorrow as well. Tomorrow could be a fun day for sure.
 
Rivals is getting an update. Just under 1.4 GB on the PS4. Wonder if it has anything to do with the tweet.
 
The Origin version also has just received an update. But strangely, it's only 460 MB. Wonder why there is a gigabyte difference...

Also, this may be stupid, but I thought of why they would release DLC on the 18 of February. Well, 18 (the day) + 02 (the month) = 20. And this year is the 20 anniversary of NFS. So maybe thats why.
 
But I gotta say, if this is it, then it sucks. Because waiting 3 months for FOUR CARS is a bit... stupid. And it doesn't even feature the Ferrari the Ferrari or any other latest car. Fingers crossed that this isn't the end...

Edit: But I don't think this is it. They posted like 3 pictures of the McMerc SLR on their Facebook, so I believe that it has to come. They posted a picture of the LaFezza aswell, so maybe...

English descriptions taken from the New Zealand Xbox Marketplace.

Simply Jaguar Complete Pack:
Take down Racers, stay one step ahead of the cops and beat your Rivals with the Simply Jaguar bundle. Includes both Cop and Racer versions of the Jaguar C-X75 Prototype, the most advanced Jaguar ever created and the Jaguar XJ220 the world’s first hypercar.

Ferrari Edizioni Speciali Complete pack:
Take down Racers, stay one stop ahead of the cops and beat your Rivals with the Ferarri Edizioni Speciali bundle. Includes both Cop and Racer version of these Extreme Machines- the Ferarri F40 and the Ferarri F50.

My opinion?

What the 🤬, Ghosts. What the 🤬. You're wanting us to pay NZ $8 for what is essentially two cars? $10 for both packs would have been fine. Gran Turismo 5 had a car pack for under $8 and it had four separate cars.
 
I'll be grabbing the packs so look out for my review! (Watch as the cars not have lvl4 pursuit tech)

Also I expect the rest of the DLC march to go along with the movie.
 
Now that is just outraged,
5.99$ for just the F50/F40 (both sides) that 11.98$ for both. That is like 1.50$ per car. 👎
 
It may not be cheap, but when is any NFS DLC cheap? Unfortunately I can't say "no" to a Jag XJ220 and an F40 to a game i'd like to enjoy more on the PS4.

Last NFS I supported was NFS HP2010, as wonderful as that game was. I remember the Lamborghini/Porsche pack was like $8 for 3 cars, 10 short events, and a couple trophies.
 
Compared to the DLC to the other NFS games, this seems like a ripoff.

They're trying to play it off like it's 8 cars. My ass.

No F-Type or LaFerrari? Really? Yeah, I get the feeling the other DLC will be out before the movie is out.
 
Full DLC schedule.
The Need For Speed Rivals downloadable vehicle packs consists of one free-to-download vehicle pack and 4 additional vehicle packs which can each be purchased in their entirety or as 2 micro packs (Cop & Racer).

As with all of the other vehicles in Need For Speed Rivals, each of the new downloadable vehicles can be modified with performance upgrades and visual customisation and have no restrictions on which events they’re eligible to participate in.

*Each Cop version has 3 variants as is the case on the base game; Patrol, Enforcer and Undercover.

Free to Download Koenigsegg One:1 Pack – available March 4th, 2014
The free Koenigsegg One:1 pack can be downloaded at any rank, but the Koenigsegg One:1 Racer and Cop variants will not be available for unlock until you are rank 21+ in that faction’s progression.

The Koenigsegg One:1 Racer Variant has the same upgrade and personalisation options as the base game cars with the exception of not being able to increase the top speed any further to preserve gameplay balance due to its already extremely high top speed. The Racer variant has 4 liveries including the stock which can be applied, 3 of which require purchasing with SP.

LaFerrari? And thanks wicken for posting this.

Whoops darn auto correct. If the One has that much top speed, the handling must be tricky or it must be made of floss to keep the balance.

Also you can still be murdered before the start of a race FYI.

On the bright side it seems like cops are a little easier to evade. Or am I just getting used to it.....
