Free Roam Police

FREE ROAM POLICE

Ghost can you please bring back free roam police like in the old need for speeds because it doesn't feel as fun when you have to activate the police because your ready for them to chase you. I think you should have it so then they chase you unexpectedly because its more fun because 1) its more realistic and 2) its more fun when they come after you off guard.

    With the amount of outrage there has been with the freeroam, they will add it eventually.

    I think the game will die out a little faster if they don't add free roam police

  • I think the free roam dies out instantly if they dont bring it back.

    Look at Most Wanted (both Versions), Carbon, Undercover, Rivals. The thing was that you tuned your car, finished the story and after that found yourself at These ridiculous insane long chases.

    It was fun, it was something you could on the fly and sometimes (at higher level) it was really, really challenging.

    My problem isnt exactly the activating. That's a personal minus but I am okaz with it. My problem is this track-racing-cops thing. On all media there was always the message that you risk something. High stakes, high skills and watch out for the rhinos.

    What freedom and what challenge do I have in a such huge world (which is pretty damn beautiful by the way) when the police (who I should fear) follows me on a track and is gone after 7 miles of racing on a stricked line. I don't need to improvise. Don't need to be creative and I don't need to destroy anything. I just need to be first.

    One of the two points on this game which I don't get. These were things no one expected to be different and yet they pulled out this one. I wonder how they come to ideas like that.
  • So far, when i am getting chased by cops or by thugs, it seems like their cars catch up to me, while i am going 130MPH and its like i am standing still.....which means, a cop car or some * looking muscle car was going 400MPH atleast around drift style turns.....sorry, but that type of challenge is not challenge, it is just the AI blatantly cheating.

    @JamieK81 - the catch-up from AI is there since NFS Hot Pursuit 2 (2002). And i've seen it in other arcade PC racers, unfortunately. On consoles, too. I think that only Gran Turismo doesn't use such artifices

    As for true simulations, well, you can find plenty of PC if you look carefully.

    It wasn't in the last need for speed game, the only time they caught up to me is when i accidently scraped the wall and slowed down alot or crashed into a car, but if my speed as constant, they never caught up.
