FYI if you have EA Play/XBox Game Pass you get a 10 hour trial of this game.
I am a big time car guy and gamer and this is one of my favorite racing games in recent years. Forza being the best all around but this one is nice arcade style fun. Probably best Need For Speed (imo) in the last 15 or so years.
Damn, haven't played nfs since.. Underground lol
Game barely came out with some decent reviews and it's already on sale.
Nice

That video brings back the memories. I remember how game breaking it was to have each car have its own engine sound. Kind of hilarious now, but back then it was mind blowing. 🤣
You gain heat by the race not per car. So it's hard to do all the races in a day. You have to pick and chose. The cops implementation suck on this iteration. You hit a limit each week on how much you can upgrade your car. Money trickles in slow. AI is much more difficult. Glitch where I won a race but never got the pink slip to the car oddly. That was annoying. Graphics and music are awesome! The exhaust effects can be turned off. But they grew on me. Just a few observations to share.

I have game pass ultimate but couldn't find the trial. where should I be looking?
I feel bad for all the disc less console owners out there. They deserve to be able to purchase at this price.
I have the digital only ps5 and the reason I bought it was to avoid having stacks of games take up space. Some games take longer to go on sale digitally versus physical, but they all go on sale eventually.
I'd rather pay full price and support developers I like or wait for a sale than waste space or trade in 10 games to gamestop to get enough credit to buy 1 new game.
Then there is the fact most games you buy now are broken, missing features, or straight up missing the actual game on the disc and require large downloads to really play.

Xbox store, if you look up NFS Inbound you can either buy it or download a trial
With that said, I was excited for this game, it looked awesome, but after the trial? Easy pass. The non stop commentary on it was actually so bad it was a deal breaker. Game looks great but just wasn't that fun
Which version is the better choice, if I have both a PS5 and a series X?
The Series X version runs at a slightly higher resolution, but the PS5 version is locked at 60FPS at a slightly lower res. So really it depends what experience you want. I personally went PS5 because I play a lot more on my SX so figured I'd show it a little love. Wish the PC version was also discounted so I could play it there instead, but it's still full pop.
just watched IGNs review...
good god, that "story" looks horribly painful to sit through. i don't mind the cartoony stuff they added, but it is an odd mix of photo-real and cell shading. a modern day Auto Modellista would've been pretty cool... not that it had the special effects stuff, but a modern day Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero would be pretty awesome too (while I'm on memory lane... haha)
i'm with others, waiting for
In fairness, Underground 2 was also that same style mix

I think you can disable it. Anyone know if this works with the G29 racing wheel?
