and why do we have to follow a track on which to escape?
makes it much easier for the coppers... and pretty boring too, we want different pursuits instead of thesame ones all the time..
srsly, when you trie to escape from the cops, who is going to stick to a route???

AWESOME! its gonna be like Hot Pursuit! well sort of

[Halconfenix]

all that's left is to know hor much of this is going to arrive in the next updates.... becasue lets be honest.... world is getting monotone as it is.... and i'm just a free player!

I don't know about you but I "follow"
the Need for Speed franchise for PC since 2004
( Underground 2, Most Wanted, Carbon, ProStreet
UnderCover, Shift and now World )
and I prety much "move on" to the next
so if there's a new NfS game, I'm there...

If BlackBox don't manage to get some new updates
to the game BEFORE Hot Pursuit launches,
( and after that in a regular basis )
I belive that many peopple will leave "World" aside.

Of course after a while they may come back
to find out if there's something new
but like I said before Black Box should take the 1st step

New customisation:

...
Performance brings up the familiar engine/induction/transmission/brakes/suspension/tires and a "misc" (which is like special unique things like custom exhaust and so on)

Yay... I can finally get customize my car down to the parts like in NFS:PU (I kept on mentioning the same thing on the EA forum time and time again...

Freebie! Yay!

...They are also planning to implement a pile of areas that were developed for an NFS game that never got released....

never heard.. of ah well.. just learned something new here...

Two new safehouses will be appearing but how these will be available yet is still debatable. There is the intention to make it possible to drive to these places and have certain safehouses affecting the parts that can be used on your car.

My guess is that when you press h (or the safehouse button) depending on which side of World you are in... you end up in different safehouses.. for some reason right now... when I exit the safehouse.. I always re-spawn in the Chinatown area and other nearby areas...

A feature called "Speed API" is coming which will allow people to pull stats from the game and implement them into websites to create leagues, ladders, tournaments etc. This is a huge in-depth programming aspect which I will be yanking a few of our WG coders into action on.

something like TMF (they have tm-ladder)

[Pollux]

Im afraid alot of ppl whil start whining exactly 5 days after the first update that they want more...
it's been like that since day 1, and i dont think that's about to change...

The co-op pursuit in a set route is far from boring, trust me! Drew and I sat and were yelling at each other as to where the road blocks were appearing and trying to help each other out of tough situations and as the heat level raises things just get insane - at one point I had 9 rhinos trapping me against a wall till Drew blasted through them with a juggernaut and let me out!
It was so intense that I was unashamedly shaking afterwards with adrenaline!

One of the points John did make (because a few people mentioned how they were expecting more at release) was that it all boils down to the fact they arent releasing World like a core title (and he stressed that World is NOT a core title but a project that he intends to push for years to come) and plan to keep developing it. Theres some stuff that hes got planned that are just insanely fun to hear about and the devs there were just so excited about the stuff it was refreshing to say the least!

This whole "People will leave when HP comes out!" though? Dont be silly. After playing HP today I can safely say that people will treat them as two seperate games so much like I play Assassins Creed 2 and World now, I will quite happily play World and HP come November. As Sil said, not many people play one game alone but for those that though Ive seen plenty today to ensure that if you "leave" World to play HP, you'll soon be back to sample the content.

Oh man please stop this co op mode is driving me crazy. This paragraph was so in deep detail it was like a trailer playing in front of my eyes lol love the info dude

[Pollux]

did the co-op come with higher heat levels or harder AI??

and btw, they should make some sort of arena mode.
where you battle against waves of cops in a tiny space, like parking lots...

and replying to the closed track, that was if you are playing side to side, seeing each other in RL...
most likely you wont be playing like that in world, as you cant even log into world twice on the same local network...

although it would be kinda hard to keep the players together if the world wasnt closed...

anyway, co-op pursuit is a great addition to this game
world-garage should definitely set up a WG or TRD pursuit team both racer and cop

[Fasckira]

Well heres the video here, its still processing though:




Just to note sadly JC and John dont like to play together, its a real shame I couldnt get hold of the ones the rest of us raced (where we worked together) but it gives you a great idea of whats coming.

Thousands of thanks Fasckira At least we see some eye-candy

[Yatindra]

thats more like it...
great stuff Fasckira.. cant wait for more updates!

[Gogata]

I'll repeat the words I said in the video with:

EDIT: And I have an idea. It would be really cool if we had buttons to see where are the other players, like the F buttons (F1, F2, F3 for each of the players...).

The minimap shows the other players as orange arrows and theres still the rank listing on the top right to show who comes where but John did say they're going to make it more obvious (but he didnt go into detail)

EDIT: Oh also, check 1:12 in the video - you see the stats for the new engine mods briefly

Also Grim that wasnt me playing in that race, I was recording - that was John Doyle and JC racing

[BOSS]

what did i heard about merits!?

we really need something like that..

doing certain goals gives you a merit and possible bonus rep!?

[Dillano609]

O...M...F...GGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think there is much else I could use to describe the amazingness. What really peaks my curiosity are the new areas from a NFS game that never got released.....

[Speedy4395®]

YES!!!! i now have a greater purpose to play World now (besides racing with my teammates ) this is the best news ive heard since The NFS World Beta. Thanks a MILLION for sharing this info. i REALLY cant wait for the canyons and the never released areas.

[Dillano609]

Oh, Fasc, do I have your permission to post that video up on my Youtube channel? I have over 2,100 subs and this is just something that has to be shared.

[Silenus]

Finally, with the massive number of performance upgrades, hopefully vinyls, and even greater hope body parts combined with the rather low monetary gain we'll be looking at micro-transactions hopefully. Which sound evil until you realize that those transactions pay for you as well and you won't even have coughed up any cash! (Well, beyond the $20 USD because some execs over at EA said "I still dunno about this micro-transaction thing. Are you sure it's evil enough?")
'
Also the Co-op Pursuit isn't supposed to be freeroam because they're supposed to tie into Hot Pursuit's pursuit races. One game advertises the other obviously. I won't be surprised if we get a non-street legal race car or two come Shift 2. Perhaps some races on a closed course like an air strip???

Personally I'm still waiting for either a Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione or Aston Martin V8 Vantage to prowl the streets with. Then I'll pawn you all!!! Mwahahahaha!!!

I think we can be certain that Co-op Pursuit (Yes, it's spelled PUR-suit people) will be released in November to coincide with Hot Pursuit. As for the rest, I have no clue.

When it comes to the two games competing though. Does anyone of us play one video game and one video game only?

at the moment im only playing world

[MasterLuBu]

Oh wow! I may actually have to start playing again if this is true
