I prefer PGR to be honest and as money doesnt grow on trees in Scotland, i might have to give this live game a miss.

Not to rain on anyones parade here but I thought we knew was coming over a month ago. Can't remember if I saw it here or on BxB.

IC its quite true and will be released towards the end of this month.

Never played the original but might give it a go in our car heavy online play. Again what room is there for NFS now?

Not jumping for that bait. :D

If it was live, I'd consider it, but again it would have to at least 8-player online and, as Xice says he would have hard time considering TOCA when there's so many other racers out, so then most Xbox owners would have the same dilemma with so many online racers already available or soon to come out.

I'm sure NFS will sell well on other platforms, I just see a huge struggle for attention on Xbox thats all.

Just to add to the NFS Xbox pain another driving game to be released for Xbox Live. Not that I've played the original Modellista so it could be complete cack.

He's not badmouthing every EA game on the Xbox. But the fact is, not supporting Live is a mistake. Racing against computer cars gets dull and easy after a while, especially when u've sampled online racing. NFS and the rest of the offline only racers are going to struggle against PGR2, Toca Online, and Sega GT Online. I have no intention of buying any racing game thats not online, because I know I wont play it. The competition against human opponents is what makes me keep coming back for more.

I'm a fan of many EA games. I love Madden for instance. But Sega's NFL series is online, and that means I buy Sega instead of Madden. Then me and my mate can have really good games even when we cant make it to each others houses, better infact because we cant watch each others strategy.

As for Fifa. You only have to play PES/WE to know how bad Fifa is. I bought a GC and Freeloader specifically to play WE6FE because its better than Fifa by a country mile. However, if Fifa was on Xbox Live, I'd buy it, because that would add a new dimension to the game. Even though it would still be inferior, I'd be able to play it against human opponents whenever I wanted.

EA are boycotting the best thing about the Xbox. That's Live. I'm not boycotting EA, and neither is Boom, we're just choosing to buy buy Live enabled games wherever possible. And its a sad fact that EA aren't going to join the party. For virtually every EA game out there, there is Live counterpart by somebody else. They will get chosen every time.

Well said zerolight! :D

I think everything he said about our reasons for buying other games is correct.

oh and it was on BXB a few weeks ago

Last time I checked this forum isn't bxb. I'm sure there are duplicate threads on both boards. Unfortunately Cas isn't a mod for both. :D
