Cars manage with tank-like precision because of the annoying input delay. The game tricks you into believing you're facing tougher AI, but it relies on simple strategies as discussed earlier. My game ran smoothly on my PS3 version since it was connected to Origin.
Man, you're quite different from me. I'm all about racing sims and use a G27 for control. I'm looking for at least 60 frames per second—anything below 55 is a drop in the bucket. Vsync is essential when you're pushing limits while driving fast. Were you playing on PC and a TV monitor? In most games, 30fps feels like a slowdown, but on a screen it's okay.
The AI will slow down during crashes. Restarting the race is still the best option. Input lag isn’t a major issue. It performs fairly well for an arcade racer—like the Veyron handling an 18-wheeler at high speeds, as it actually does in real life.
Your initial comment suggests a misunderstanding about the pricing structure on Origin. The availability of free games doesn't mean only low-quality titles are offered; it reflects a broader strategy.
Wow, really? I'm glad I caught it. Appreciate the reminder. Post it in the hot deals section!
I played it for a few hours yesterday. It wasn't as exciting as NFS Underground, but more enjoyable than most racing games (though I believe I only ran three races, spending the rest trying to level up and avoid the police).
I understand your point, but it really bothers me when I'm managing a third-person view of a character. For instance, if I're used to adjusting my camera angle at 60 FPS and then setting the game to 30, I end up moving the mouse like I would at full speed. This causes me to veer off course, turn too far behind, and end up back where I started. When I try to look sideways, I overcompensate because of my usual 60 FPS setup. In NFS, I won't have to worry about mouse input, but I still notice the lag. All I remember is that the game looked fine with an 8 GB install, which was surprisingly small for older NFS titles—especially since they were much larger in newer releases. That’s why I couldn’t play LA Noire properly; it was capped at 30 FPS and required constant camera adjustments, making me feel sluggish.
