[Steam] Ea Racing Game MASSIVE Sale!

For the next 48 hours, EA's racing games are at least 75% off on Steam! Some games are even completely free! 

 

Whether you can buy these games individually, I don't know. I've had a quick look and I can't seem to find a way of doing this. The free games include Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit and Need For Speed: Shift. Burnout Paradise, NFS Undercover and NFS Shift 2 Unleashed are also discounted.

 

EDIT: It looks like you can only get Hot Pursuit and Shift for free if you get them from the bundle. If you try to buy the games individually, they cost £3.75 (in the UK that is).

The -113% baffles me.. Are EA going to be giving people money for downloading their game?!?! :/

That's odd... In your region Burnout is free as well... Huh?

I own Hot Persuit and Burnout Paradise, those are quite good, if you only want 2 I'd take those.

 

Both of them use the same engine (burnout)

Supposedly that framerate lock has a workaround. And TB did a video on it and he found when the framerate is unlocked, the physics calculations scale with it... But I think that has a fix too now. It's worth checking out, but if you want to avoid the hassle then get Hot Pursuit or Burnout, they're both awesome :)

Which one would you recommend? I impulse-bought Hot Pursuit, because the old one (NFS 3) was pretty damn good.

 

I guess undercover is one with a terrible pseudo story and shift is sposedly realistic? What about burnout? :D

 

Edit: are the steam servers giving in already, or why are my purchases not showing up in my library?

who cares...

I thought that a while ago... But I don't think that does work because when you buy the free ones separately they aren't free anymore. :/

 

I guess it's EA up to their usual shenanigans  -_-

The best ones IMO are hot pursuit and burnout. HP is more realistic and burnout is great if you just want to mess about, wreck cars and do awesome jumps :)

 

I haven't bought any yet so I wouldn't know about servers - I checked my bank account and I have £4...... I need to stop buying PC hardware :D

There is indeed a workaround, all you need to do is type this in:  -GameTime.MaxSimFps 45 -GameTime.ForceSimrate 45.0

into the shortcut command line properties thingy

 

 

And your set to play @60r15 FPS.

Lol, so many bundles I see end up like this for me. gj steam, you've done it again.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
