Need For Speed Most Wanted U |OT| Burned out, Upshift

Most people still believe that the WiiU lags behind the 360/PS3. Older faceoffs continued to give that impression. Might as well have a faceoff that paints the WiiU in a good light. "Next gen" arguments are stupid anyway. We don't even know what next-gen will really look aside from tech demos and what's claimed to be in-game footage.

Well, we've seen Killzone and Knack actually be played. Other than that, you're right.
 
Yep. Well, you can't drive them at all until you beat them in the Most Wanted races. I had to get good enough to get the Aventador. Heh, heh. Man, I love that car.

it really feels good when you are good enough to take one of them down :)

still grinding on getting reinflate tires for the cars I want to fast the top 3

You can also get a car if you beat your friend's record made with this car. That's how I got my Aventador, IIRC.

Really? I guess there's no way to test it now since I have all of the Most Wanted cars except 2.

How do you get re-inflate tires for the Aventador? I've done all the races and have pro everything, yet I still don't have them.

I love how they highlight the fact that the Wii U is superior to the PS360, but still use the highlight quotes to belittle it.

Lol all this talk about how noone wanted to make the thread and then two go up at the same time.

Someone was going to make the thread. This was inevitable. I generally stay out of them (especially Wii U threads), because they almost never lead to anywhere good.
 
I was wrong. After reading DF's hasty review of the Chipworks pics I thought they had bias against the Wii U. This on the other hand was quite fair pointing out the Wii U's flaws and strengths.

While posters on NeoGAF are divided on the frequency of hard-locks - with some suffering many, and others none...

Why do you need reinflate tyres? Aren't Track tires faster? I haven't had a single problem with spike strips yet, they're pretty easy to spot and dodge so I rather have the extra bit of acceleration and control that the Track Pros give.

I think one of you should make the thread. Would be good to get some positive and legitimate Wii U news flowing among the mass of terrible news.



There's been plenty of good news this week, Nintendo finally getting on fixing those abysmal load times, a bunch of upgrades to their networking stuff involving Miiverse, and Nintendo really going pretty hard after getting smaller developers onto their hardware.

back on topic: whats this I'm hearing about secret Nintendo related stuff in the Wii U port?

I'm annoyed by the fact that this quote was highlighted
"GPU bottlenecks on PS3/360 aren't as much of an issue on Wii U, though there are occasions when the older consoles manage to pull ahead."
even though it's not representative of the information it was attempting to summarize.

That's another thing. By "take down," I assume it means to wreck the target vehicle in a race? If so, do you also have to complete and then win the race after that's done?

You have to win the race first, then you take them down.

Just tried the Venom one for the first time, you guys aren't kidding. Even before the police gave me a problem, the guy was already a mile ahead of me.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean. I was quoting the part where they mention this thread to joke about how they read what we write. (BTW, there totally is a hard lock problem, but it's not common enough to affect the game that negatively, imo.)

"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME A NEW CONSOLE OUTPERFORMS 7 YEAR OLD HARDWARE?? SHOCKING NEWS!!"


Sad that people are afraid to make threads out of fear of trolls. Very sad for this forum.

In the Face-Off thread:

Shocking news 300 $ so called "next gen" console have bit better textures than 7 years technically obsolete machines.

I laughed. And then cried.

IMO the Venom race is a UI mistake - it shouldn't have been enabled from the start.

that is the best part after you win

I had a take down that took me over an hour to get because the heat from the cops kept blocking me


the car would be gone for a while and all I had to do was park or drive slowly it would come from behind smash into me and rush off

it was a hard race to win so the car was super fast to even chase down for a take down

so a hour later I was getting tired of chasing the troll

he disappeared I got tired and spun my wheels made a U turn and BANG I had him head on

I must have drove around his broken trashed shell for 15 minutes happy to get him and post a photo of his dead bones on Miiverse :)

I like the little touch that the wreck stays on the road for as long as you are in the area

no that car is from the speed pack DLC that Wii U got free each DLC pack has about 5 cars the fastest one is a Most Wanter car you must race to unlock it is not an error

still can't beat him

Yes, I'm aware where the Venom race originates from. I was referring to the current WiiU package - Venom sitting unlocked at the top is a UI design mistake in my book.

Makes me feel a bit better knowing I'm not the only one bewildered and helpless in Venom. I assumed based on its position on the chart that it would be the easiest and after playing it a few times, I asked myself..."Do I really suck this bad that I can't even get within a block of the target car, on the first Most Wanted Race?"

All I knew was that I wasn't going to catch anything with my stock BMW.
 
Well, unlocked as in available, unlike the rest of the most wanted races which have to be unlocked one by one.

oh you mean you wanted the Venom to be available only after reaching 1.5 Million Speed Points or so?

that would make sense yes but it is still DLC that came months later for those other guys
so requiring speed points to unlock it is what you mean?
 
you guys are aware that even miles behind in a slow car the Venom AI is still programmed to give you a chance if it has been dusting you all race it will crash at the last turn giving you the win if you are keeping up at steady pace

I've seen youtube's of this but did not want to spoil my game by having this too early

It's the hardest race so it should be the last to unlock.

yes it also came a month or so later so after you beat the hardest race in the game and this DLC came out it would have been your next target anyway if you got this on PS3 at launch

but if you just got your copy on 360 today and download that DLC and had Zero Speed Points unlocked nothing just by the nature of paying your money the hardest race and fastest car is right there

that is what paid DLC does it cheats lol did you not see the latest episode of The Final Bosman?


@EDarkness which version did you own before the Wii U and after 7.3 million SP and SL71 are you still having fun on the Wii U version?

Finally got this in the mail from the Origin $30 sale on Wednesday but I still haven't put in in yet. My Monster Hunter addiction is too overwhelming still :(

Maybe tonight I'll pop it in. Or maybe tomorrow...

Shelby Cobra has always been one of my favorite cars and was pumped to see it in this game....but why does it have to be so slow!!
 
Bac Mono from they Yoshi pipe is my favorite car

but my second work horse after the bugatti is the 911 at least I have those tires I want on it

I found the 911's acceleration to be slow and the controls a bit floaty, but I honestly haven't even raced with it yet. I'll give it a shot. Also, the Ariel from the Mario pipe is my fav :)

911 rules. It has the signature behavior of a FF drivetrain. I love it.

I'm completely trashing those Most Wanted noobs with my Nissan GTR, they've got absolutely no chance, the MP4-12C was like 5 seconds behind me.

I have beat a hard race called AROUND THE WORLD
or even get third place for those anti cop tires :(

been at it for days

Around the World is one helluva race. Took me a while to beat it, but when I did I felt awesome. Felt good, man.

My main car is the Aventador. For some reason that car feels good to drive and handles well. Dusted off most of the Most Wanted drivers in it.

I love all the Lambos really wish this game has some Ferrari too

I asked this on the last page
