So same kind of story and settings but with improved graphics and gameplay?  I wonder if it's like Tearaway Unfolded and has new content also.  I hope it does, I love that series and hope they have more plans for it in future

Make of that what you will. I think it sounds more Tearaway Unfolded style, because they've said that the movies story will bring some new stuff that wasn't in the game (heck, even a character that was never in the original game was in a trailer for the movie.) and apparently this game is following the story of the movie.

Anyway, the original R&C is dramatically different from the new ones, so it would be a massive change regardless.

^^ Sounds interesting. Weird to have a reimagining tie-in game for a movie that's based off the original game.

I think they're trying to capitalize on the movie (okay, obviously they're trying to capitalize on the movie) to get a broader audience interested.

I'm kinda starting to enjoy the company of the aggressive AI. I managed to get into one online race, servers worked for me once by accident, and the AI is friendly and considerate compared to what I met there. I'm used to 'race clean or kick' rooms in GT, had not experienced this anonymous free for all
in a long time. Still came in 3rd after somehow getting out of the pack.

Haha true.

I've played a couple of online races today and damn, I know how the AI must feel playing against me. People are so fucki ng unpredictible

Half of them are playing like it's Destruction Derby easiest way to win is to simply avoid others. If you're in pole position (I think that's random) just drive safely, if you don't make a huge mistake nd have a car with decent acceleration, you're good.

I didn't notice anyone returning

Yeah, gooch posted at least once today AND edited the title. That's an improvement!

Well they're predictable in a way that they'll use your car as a bumper any way they can. As soon as you survive a corner and get out of the pack you're probably good for the rest of the race. The people behind you will slow each other down, funny to watch in the rearview mirror.

Online racing is always the question, do I brake for the corner and get rammed from behind or the inside, or use the wall or the person in front of me. It's the prisoner's dillema without a mutual win outcome. Best is to hang back, then speed around the wrecks.

The game has crashed for me  in career mode and straight up threw me out of a co-op seasons game with absolutely no reason as to why. I was still connected to the ea servers and found myself in the menus for no reason. I hadn't lost a co-op seasons match until then...I love EA.
