Actually I think we might just see Underground in 2015. Look Ghost and Criterion are all working on Rivals which has had a 2 year development time. Underground would need the same amount of time. EA would be stupid to release a game with only a year of work, hence the believable 2015.

Never thought of that, I actually forgot about EA's 2 year development cycle, in which case that would make a lot of sense.
 
Not quite, When they say endless power that's a catch right there. Others maybe. If there was endless power then people would spam spike strips like crazy, counterdicting their original idea of only having 2 active powers at once.

I didnt take "endless power" as being a literal description but rather as a name for the DLC pack.

Endless in game power-ups would be ridiculous and ruin the game.

Yea and just watch it ends up as an Xbox One exclusive.

Why? EA wouldn't release a game exclusive to the X1 only to lose cashola. After all, that's all they care about.

What's your obsession with xbox one exclusivity??

You mentioned earlier in the thread (pg44) that the xb1 version of this game will have exclusive features which you weren't able to substantiate with any evidence..
 
We all know there isn't going to be an underground since ghost made it perfectly clear at E3 that if it can sell 15 million it will make the game. So I would just give underground a rest.
 
Just spotted a good deal I might get at EB Games Australia:

I wonder if it will come with the 911 GT3, Vanquish and Challenger SRT8 392 as well as the liveries or if it's only the liveries.

My guess is that it will come only with the liveries, you don't expect them to sell most of their cars as a pre-order DLC right?

It is just the liveries, but the speedpoints already banked probably could buy one right off the bat anyways.
 
Costumization information, probably already known for some people.

"You could go with the factory defaults when it comes to the car’s colour, wheel rims, decorative decals, full body wraps and liveries, and engine setup, but you can of course also dip in and customize these aspects either as a racer or a cop. In terms of performance tweaks and upgrades, the system has been simplified slightly to make it more accessible so the team has grouped certain areas of the car together, like the Engine, Handling and Transmission, and you can also upgrade how much damage your car can take as you progress."
 
Yeah, it looks like it might be the V10 model. Whoever wrote up that potential car list, looks like they were right about the R8. And I'd put a good bet on it being a racer vehicle. Even the undercover cop cars have different license plates to that.
 
This is 2013 Audi R8?! No R8 V10 Plus?

The standard V10 and the Plus are almost identical. I think the Plus has new wheel spoke designs and slightly more carbon fibre bits and pieces. Other than that, it's practically impossible to visually distinguish the two.

Not exactly, you can see that it is the V10 plus because of the new logo.
"There's a redesigned bumper, weird upside-downy wrong-way-roundy LED headlights, a new R8 logo, restyled rear diffuser and a new rounded single exhaust protrudes from its rump. Which means it still looks a bit awesome."
 
I'm watching it right now. I've only gone through the first couple of seconds, but that's enough to CONFIRM the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 for the Redview County Police Department.
(Sorry Wicken, better luck next time...)
 
Ferrari Enzo confirmed and potentially new weapon or re-done shockwave!!

"you have an electricity force field (where you charge up your car and if someone hits you they're disabled for a little bit)"

Also cops and racers earn pursuit tech differently

"you’ll unlock stuff and you choose what to equip your car with. On the racer side you can basically decide what kinds of weapons you want to have on the car, while on the cop side each car that you unlock will have a certain level of those weapons."

The car list is true, the category of each car are not. Plus Ford GT is confirmed as a Racer, Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 as a Racer too. (It's the star of the NFS Movie)
 
Oh... Ah well. We still got a good look at the customization. Colors (including custom colors), wheel colors, vinyls, license plates, performance mods and pursuit tech. I'll take another look through the trailer soon to see if I can pick up any new cars or details.

Let me help you with the cars:
Ford GT as a racer
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 as a racer
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series as a racer
Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series as a cop
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 as a cop
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse as a racer (it's not the 2013 LP 560-4 as many of us thought)
