Picking my copy up today. Glad that even if there is a low player count the game will populate with bots. Lets gooooo.

It's been stated before, but releasing a new gaming IP the week before E3 (at full price no-less) doomed it to be forgotten amongst all the game news. Combined with Ubisoft releasing The Crew 2 at the end of the month, all the cards are aligned for this to unfortunately flop at launch. :(

they release it with no marketing whatsoever, shortly before a major racing game (The Crew 2) at a full price, despite barely even having single player.

I don't agree with either of these statements.

I know about this game because of games news websites and I've played ten hours and not even touch the multiplayer yet.

Note to self: don't start playing this when you have to get ready for work in an hour.

Man, this addictive.

I'm inclined to believe this game was relatively cheap to make, though. First of all, it seems like they spent very little on marketing. Second, the engine was already done, right? Third, the game was done in a mere two years or so, considering Evo only closed 27 months ago or so and this game was not being developed at the time. It could have probably gone for a 40$ price that would have made it easier to go in blind. 60$ (which is actually even worse in certain countries, eg. 70 Euros in EU, or the fact that in certain countries the average salary is like 3-4 times what this game costs) is a questionable deal for an "unknown" game by relatively unknown devs in a new IP that doesn't have a major mainstream interest. It's, to me, a bomb waiting to happen.

It's so fucking annoying that when we occasionally get high quality, polished car games that reinvent the wheel something has to be fucked up somewhere. Remember when we had Blur and Split/Second and they both ended up pretty great? They both kinda tanked because they had the brilliant idea to release right on top of each other. Now there's this really good and fun arcade car game, and they release it with no marketing whatsoever, shortly before a major racing game (The Crew 2) at a full price, despite barely even having single player. I don't think we even have to wait for the sale numbers to understand where this is going. And it's a legit shame because the game is good.

It is nice to see all the positive impressions.

I think the beta did more harm than good for this game. I hope they put out a demo as I want to give this game a second go before I buy it.

Hard to imagine them supporting wheels with this game. There is nothing going on here that would simulate driving a real car. They only offer two exterior cameras for this reason as well.

idk if they said something...
but, why would you want to play with a wheel? it is pick up and play with no in depth driving simulation...imo it is best suited for an Controller
Well they said this earlier so I'm really just asking for an update

WHEEL SUPPORT
ONRUSH will not have steering wheel support at launch. However, it's something we may look into post-launch based upon your feedback.

http://blog.codemasters.com/community/02/onrush-faqs/

Also, there's no rule that says only simulation type racing games can have wheel support. Some of the most fun I've had with wheels over the years have been with arcade style games.

had the best zone match: 5/3 for the enemy team, we make a comeback, in the end 7/7 and we lost but sooo close...all at night with snowstorm, amazing feel and this game shines when the rules are clear to all players, there are really tight situations throughout the match! love it!

Anyone here who played the beta and didn't really like it but are liking the released game? I felt the handling felt kind of...off in the beta and I didn't like how "weak" the stampede felt. I loved how in Motorstorm, if you were on a bike, being amid bigger vehicles felt like a gauntlet and the aggressive racing had a physicality to it as you pushed and smashed against opponents. While here, you could wreck opponents easily and it didn't have that extended vehiclular wrestling.

Is the full game different?

yes i didn´t like the beta...it is more clear in the final version, it must be played longer to truly understand it...they explain the crashing with the "T" the front of the T is what damages cars, so you are ought to crash with your front, when you come from the side the enemy is able to crash you easily. if you crash once you are vulnerable, second crash is out.

the game is not about aggressive smashing into others, but about awareness and tricking your enemies to make mistakes, cut them their way off in choke points. so, it is about passive aggressive driving .-) Beta didn´t convince me to the fullest but the final game is tremendous fun and harkens back to the arcade days, "turn the game on, hop in and have fun" style. i love it, everytime i wanna play a round i end up playing 5,6,7 rounds .-)

there is also a lengthy single player mode which goes in depth about the modes and vehicles and many events

Has anyone else noticed worse performance since the update today? I'm playing on Xbox One X, prioritise frame rate... the frame rate stutters most of the time now and there's a bit of tearing.

Picked this up, feeling the itch for a good, arcade driving game, and the mechanics seem cool. Went for the Xbox version, so if anyone wants to play shoot me a friend request i'm Arthetos.

Can someone briefly explain the Switch game mode? Is it like a limited lives shared by your whole team mode? And you switch to another vehicle type if you get taken down? I have no idea what I'm doing when this rolls around.

I see there's a graphical option to either favor resolution or framerate. The resolutuion mode doesn't seem to up the res that much but definitely drops frames.

Holy damn. The first match was a bit weak from me, but my second match was an absolute blast. It was the capture the point mode and I was one of the support-style cars. I haven't had that much fun in a driving game since Burnout Paradise. It started snowing heavily near the end and it was exhilarating and constantly moments away from losing control and crashing. I'll be putting a lot of time into this.

3 tiers of 6 done on the single player campaign

The final challenge of Tier 3 makes you attempt to get 28 takedowns (non fodder) from four events.

I took me two times to get it but I got it done.

The campaign is fun and is getting more challenging as I go.

I'm not great at Lockdown but I'm excellent at Overdrive and Countdown.

Made it to Lvl 33 so far.

Haven't played Online as I'm focused on the campaign for now but I'll be heading online once I finish the campaign.

Well the patch completely destroyed the framerate on the x1x. This is why i hate the modern trend of patching stuff, they tend to break more things than they. The game ran silky smooth yesterday but now runs like it's running on the resolution mode.

Come on guys. How does this get past qa? It's bordering on unplayable.

The same here. I don't know what see the 29 MB update did but it sucks.

EDIT: Resolution mode also stutters.

I'm on 1X, I downloaded the patch and the framerate still feels rock solid..

Playing on the X with prioritize frame rate (1080p 60fps) and man, it looks better than most games in 4K. Nice to see a developer put the extra memory in the X to work with hi-res textures.

One thing I don't get and gets frustrating...why does it seem like I can't catch up to people no matter what vehicle I choose? I'll have boost down constantly or even onrush yet can't catch up enough to get beside to ram someone HOWEVER I constantly get caught up from behind and destroyed, da fuck?

Was looking for the PS4 version on Amazon thinking it would be in top 100 list. It was #231 on PS4 and #301 on XB1.

Can't help feel this is another Codemasters title hobbled by mediocre marketing. It's only in the last week I've heard much about the game on social media. Given the decent scores it seems a missed opportunity. Price also misguided.

pretty much expected this after the beta. its simply not 60$+ fun. "but how can you put a price on fun?" and such were the comments in the beta thread.

Ugh tonight has been frustrating... this game never balances teams. Prob played nearly 20 games... top on my team 15-16 of the times and I have ONE fucking win.

As its a team game no matter how well you do it means shit when the rest of your team plays like they are looking out a window instead of their TV.

don´t have this issue, if it occurs often, maybe let yourself fall back, then the game puts you back in the stampede automatically...or take a faster vehicle (the bike or 2 lighter cars after the bikes).

A shot in the dark, but could your R2 button be busted? It was a common defect earlier this gen and you wouldn't really notice it outside of games that rely on the full range of R2, like racing games.

Spent the night playing this. Really fun game, I'll confirm that it definitely has that "one more round" feeling. It was also a smart choice to not separate progress between single player, online with bots and "normal" online, including the achievements. At least you can still do your stuff even if the online dies off eventually.

Reboot your Xbox.

I'd always recommend after updating any Xbox game to reboot your system to reduce the likelihood of issues (this is a system side problem, nothing to do with the game).

Spent the evening playing this yesterday and I have to say I am loving this game so far.
It's got the perfect balance between arcade fun and still having to assess which vehicles powers are going to be best for a particular situation.
Also the track design is incredible and gives you so much freedom to make the most of your chosen ride.
I cant wait to play more later, best racer I've played in years.

Each player has 4 lives, every time you lose a life you lose access to a category of cars/bikes. When you loose all your lives you only have access to the heavy vehicles. The object is to take out the take out the opposition so none of their players have any lives remaining.

The amount of lives a player has is marked above their vehicle so you can see who to target.

Hope this helps!

Hey Rushy, well done to you and the team the game is great fun! What is the plan supporting the game going forward, will you be supporting the game with a mix of free and paid content? Any chance of road map like the one you created for Driveclub?
