    My first impression on "The Chase" and the new update

    Well, just downloaded it and played a little. My first impression is:

    • The "content" intended for a week (including everything the motorpas offers for the first week) is done in less than an hour.
    • The chase missions seem to be a fork of the takedown missions from TC1, mixed with the pop-up traffic in TC2. Very unsatisfying!
    • From the trailer, I expected something like a (maybe short) story/mission / campaign - but it's just a five more-or-less-the-same chase events. Extremely unsatifying!
    • motorpass system is just another way to organize the hobbies concepts, but with rewards.
    • well, the costs/return rate of the motorpass has been mentioned over and over. [Added:] To be more detailed: From the items provided by the motorpass I would have selected about 4 vanities and the three cars. Everything else is of zero value for me.


    So all in all, it seems like the most effort was put into the development of the trainer and the advertisement material.

    Why did you not just build a proper race editor and sell it for 30€? I would have been much more happy...

    I'm going to be conducting a completely unbiased review of this update as well. At first glance, it seems like these Motorpass tiers can actually be done in a short amount of time.

    EDIT: Anybody who didn't already like the idea is going to have a negative, biased opinion, thus hurting credibility.

    This is why whenever IVT teases a new major update, I always set my expectations very low. They don't seem to listen to community feedback and IVT adds things in the game that no one(or some) didn't ask for. Like what others said, IVT needs to fix bugs, listen to feedback, and add new races in other disciplines or add a race editor.

    Why would they put effort into it? They never put effort into anything.

    They primarily focus on creating new content that generates more revenues.
    Not necessariily making the game better for the players.

    The upside is that with more revenues, they can actually take a look at the long list of player wishes (wishful thinking?)

    For starters make all existing events playable with different vehicle classes, also in the opposite direction (easy double the amount of events)
    Control weather and traffic in events
    Level editor and route planner

    Not too hard to achieve and it would greatly improve the game overall and keep players hooked.

    You made the execs happy, now it is the players turn

    Making money with passes will not lead to any of this. Only to more passes. After all, if money is coming in they are doing everything right.
