Yo Dawg...Seems like EA like to put names within names on the XMB

alr1ghtstart said:2 hours not including cutscenes and retries
This is a good point. You never retread a single inch of tarmac, so that being the case, it ain't to bad at all, content wise. How long would you suggest it takes to do one lap of each course in another racer?. I bet it isn't much more than 2 hours. I bet it is probably less TBH.Linkzg said:the positive spin in the video review is "2 hours of original point to point racing," which isn't that bad.
it's a modern Cruis'n game! EA Should put it in arcades and pizza hut.

NFS sells that's why, just the name alone is getting them 2m each time IMOmarkot said:Why is EA jizzing out so much Need for Speed all of a sudden?

NFS is still the highest selling multiplatform racing game, and it's a brand people recognize. EA tried to capitalize on this fact with close to 2 games a year. If you're not NFS, you better be GT or Forza to do any dent in sales. The fact that they've shoved Criterion over and essentially killed off Burnout just for the name should tell you why.markot said:Why is EA jizzing out so much Need for Speed all of a sudden?

8.4/10Speevy said:More like The Speed Run amirite
A good point, but that's clearly not the type of game The Run is. 2 hours of racing gameplay for this type of game is pretty much unacceptable.Riposte said:Not including retries in a game's "playtime" or whatever is stupid. Some of the best games ever made are meant to be beaten under 3 hours, but it takes many hours of effort to even get that far.
?? What? There's more than that in the game though. It's over 2 hours of unique 'track' to race on essentially. How many 'unique hours' do the standard circuit racers add up to?Haunted said:2 hours of racing gameplay for this type of game is pretty much unacceptable.
This and the f'in camera zoom during a drift really throws things off...SolidSnakex said:The game is actually pretty damn fun as long as you can adjust to the handling. The main thing to remember is that it's better to take corners by letting off the gas than drifting. The drifting doesn't feel right and the framerate tanks (at least on the PS3) whenever you do it.
"Unique hours" has never been a metric to judge racing games by, what the hell.RPG said:?? What? There's more than that in the game though. It's over 2 hours of unique 'track' to race on essentially. How many 'unique hours' do the standard circuit racers add up to?
dark10x said:I tried it out on the PC and came away somewhat impressed. It's not going to go down as a great game, but it's well presented and fun to play. It's limited to 30 fps on the PC, which is a bummer, but it does allow for a very consistent, smooth presentation with no hitches.
Unlike the console versions, you get a perfect 30 fps at the highest level of detail and resolution and much shorter loading times. Solving these two technical issues raises the game to a pretty polished feeling state. It's fun to follow along and it looks fantastic.
They never said it takes two hours to finish the SP?Haunted said:"Unique hours" has never been a metric to judge racing games by, what the hell.
If it takes you two hours to finish the SP, it takes you two hours.
It takes about 2 hours to finish The Run mode. The Run is just one long cannonball run of differing race types but unique 'chariot-race' tracks. If you're going to criticize the game over '2 hours of gameplay', it deserves to be shared in context with other racing games, i.e. unique hours of racing on circuit tracks (time spent on one lap.)Haunted said:"Unique hours" has never been a metric to judge racing games by, what the hell.

Noisepurge said:what the hell, i can't start the game because it stops to "Connecting to Autolog servers"
is this due to the PSN maintenance? it kills Autolog too?
They've shipped about 5 million units every year with their Fall titles.Diablohead said:NFS sells that's why, just the name alone is getting them 2m each time IMO
TheSeks said:You can't even boot Battlefield 3 into multiplayer if you even get on PSN right now either. Oh... EA... :lol

Lol gaming journalism. Even if its a brilliant game a 2 hr game for 60 euros is never worth an 8.4 wtfffffff
