    Anyone able to play the Beta? I keep getting server error messages on ps4.

    It actually looks like a lot of fun (the driving anyway, zero interest in planes and boats). Beta videos remind message of a mix of need for speed underground and test drive unlimited. Really wish I get could get a game going.

    Gave up on the earlier betas when I managed to land my boat on an island, i liked the 1st one eventually but no interest in GTA side missions as a full game.

    The demo, sorry beta, is actually pretty fun so far! :)

    Yeah liking it too. Someone on reddit drove from San Francisco to Miami in the game and it took 45 minutes to do, 20 minutes longer than the first game. So it looks like the map is much bigger and more detailed than the first game

    I've been using fast travel myself, but it does feel bigger than the first.
    You can instantly go anywhere in the huge map, practically zero loading and swap vehicles, and vehicle types instantly.

    Course the game modes are fun also :)

    This is a lot of fun and looks class too. Eoin, you showed up on my map and I was able to teleport straight to you but you were in a boat and I hadn't unlocked I've yet. Very impressed how easy it was too jump straight to other players. Got a boat and plane now. I find the boat very boring, the plane is grand but the street racing is great. Still have to try the off road stuff.

    Photo mode is so addictive and I barely scratched the surface with it.

    I never played the first one, what exactly is it about? Similar to GTA and Saint's Row, something less violent? Or it is just a racer? Looks good though.

    Yeah got notification that you were online. Off-road is good and the raids are cool as they are completely off the beaten track


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,503 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Looks class Sheehy!
    Is that running on a PS4 Pro?

    It's a racing game with a bit of story mode.
    Takes place on a map that is a scaled down version of the entire USA :)

    Nope, standard PS4. I'd say the possibilities for photos are endless with the scenery on hand. I've been looking for a racing game recently like need for speed and this looks way better than Payback. Plenty of customisation on hand as well. The street races actually remind me of NFS Underground with the alleys and jumps. The handling feels good, nice and heavy, and the cockpit view looks great. Looking forward to playing more but the beta has definitely upped my interest.

    Yeah I’m tempted to get this even though I usually don’t play driving games. I tried playing the first one but couldn’t get into it but this seems a lot more open in that there are plenty of things to do


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,275 ✭✭✭AidoEirE


    Is the beta over lads, if not how to sign up. Been dying for a new racer to sink some hours in

    Edit: Nevermind, a quick google got me sorted. Were people waiting long for a beta code?

    It runs to the 4th. I can send 3 codes to people through the ubisoft website. Sign into ubisoft site, add me as a friend msheehy. Let me know once done and I can send you a key. Bit of a hassle but i guess Ubi want more hits on their site.

    The nfs underground comment was what got my eyebrow raised. Loved that game. Close 2nd to granturismo 3 on the ps2. Wish they'd just give me another one of those

    From the faqs

    Receiving an invite from a friend already participating to the Closed Beta.
    b) For Xbox One & PS4
    Use the confirmation link available on the invitation email to request the sending of a second email containing your Closed Beta key.

    Yeah been years since ive donw beta stuff and it was all going over my head.
    Downloading now so hopefully get a bit of a session in later.

    Cheers for all the help/codes lads. Very helpful, much appreciated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,901 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Hey Eoin that was a good race! I missed a checkpoint which ****ed me up but some come back :pac: not sure what was going on for some of the cruising, your dot would disappear off the map intermittently.

    Have to head off but will be back on again tomorrow night.

    Also, the ability to replay the last 10 minutes of your free driving and watch it from multiple angles or free camera and edit the video is just class. First pic below is Eoin trying to monster truck over a poor old lady. The friends system seems a bit finicky but it might just be in not sure what's going on :) a full crew of lads on here would be a great laugh.

    End of our race, how close was that!!

    Yeah photo mode is class. That race was really close at the end. I got stuck at one corner and you were able to overtake me. We will try and get a full crew tomorrow in a party and create a race from one city to another . San Francisco to Miami is 45 minutes so maybe split it into one part by air, then by boat and finish by car

    I’m not sure you will get the code via the Ubisoft club app. You should get email that brings you to site which will give code. It would have been so much easier if you were just given the redeem codes that you could share.

    I built up 160k, saw my favourite car Dodge viper GTS drag edition was 150 so bought it. Looks like I don't have any drag events available and it's impossible to drive just cruising around, looks nice though...

    Switch on traction control and electronic stability and it won't be as wild then.
