Holy **** dem graphics. I thought I was watching a scene from a movie then the teaser ended by saying in-game footage!
If gameplay is anything like Underground 1/2/MW/Carbon I am hyped! Not particularly fond of story in NFS games.
Criterion added some Burnout elements in gameplay which was nice in the beginning but it soon it became boring and it made the franchise depart from its roots. Hopefully they bring the old NFS back with super powerful arcade cars.
Let's get some things clear about the series.
I love the NFS II that used to run on my Pentium II machine 15 years or so back. I loved NFS: Porshe Unleashed in about the same era.
Thereafter, I loved NFS Underground 2, it had a mild storyline and good racing action.
Then, NFS Most Wanted (2005) was amazing. It had an even better storyline, and a whole lot of racing fun. Gameplay was great in this game.
And by this game, the world got to know the story of the iconic M3 GTR, which gunned down Porsche in the ALM Series of 2001 or so...
Then I took a break of some years and installed the NFS The Run. DRM tortured me for a day or 2, the first for a NFS series. Initially my reactions were that it looks amazing and a storyline is there too.
Some playhours later, it all faded.... Storyline a bit too predictable.
And Gameplay? Let's see... How do you like to get crashed into another car, when you enter a decline after a climb with barely 0.01 seconds to react? And then take 5 seconds to spawn back.
Tell you what, these crashes are neither realistic (because you spawn back), nor are they satisfying to experience (time lag). And traffic comes from anywhere....
Multiplayer a bit too glitched, favouring those who have better internets and some of them cheat too.
Sometimes the whole road is blocked with traffic, specially when you're last of pack in a multiplayer game....
There are cars which you can't play with, because you may not have a friend or don't wish to play online, or don't wish to pay money for further cars... So, some kid online always wins, because he has cars you don't.
And picture this... With great difficulty, I'm running in 1st position and suddenly, traffic barges in such a way that no space is left and I crash and drop down to 6th.
Where is the Logic engine??
Makes you wonder, do these EA guys play their own games anymore?? Why do we play games? To get frustrated before and after installation, is it?
And no, I won't be getting this new NFS... Until EA reform their policies and makes it clear to us.
[MENTION=148944]Samarth 619[/MENTION] - Same as you, enjoyed NFS II, Porsche, Underground I & Most Wanted.
But then I absolutely loved Shift I & II with that helmet cam. The feeling of speed was great in these.
Among the rest that I played, I thought were between okay (Hot Pursuit 2010) and bad (Hot Pursuit I , Most Wanted II).
I hope they have done something good with the one year break. Can't really say much just based on the teaser.
Good old memories rekindled
I don't really know how to react. It looks all the same to me, lets see how it turns out. I am neither hyped nor optimistic for this game.
subscribed ... looking forward for it......
Oh well another NFS announcement, what a surprise from EA.
Well I liked a few games in series : most wanted (old one), hot pursuit 2 (old one , liked most) and the Run.
Looks interesting, if it's anything like Most Wanted 2005.
i heard that its only available online and u cant play offline is that true ??
This trailer doesn't look good. What kind of audience are they targeting?
Need For Speed will require an internet connection, and here's why
I guess they are re considering it for single player mode
Need for Speed turns ‘likes’ on your snapshots to in-game currency
PC version of Need for Speed delayed to 2016
Yep. Saw that few hours ago.
Disheartened.
CRAP! I preordered this game :'(
No paid DLC plans for Need for Speed, runs at 30fps on PS4 and Xbox One
So no NFS for two years in a row??
Nopes. ^ .
The last nfs was such a crap.
Looks like I hit the turn at the right time. No longer care as much about video games as I used to. Leave'em unfinished halfway through even for those which are exceptional. Mediocre doesn't stand a chance.
is this game only playable online ? that would suck big time no buying it then...
Wow, looks awesome !! When are they going to release the game play?!
Loved the trailer. Finally they seem to be adding what was "core" to the game i.e the customization and proper handling/shifting etc. Graphics look great as well.
Now if only my pc could handle something nearly as heavy as this...
Nice...but
They are highlighting things which the pc version should have by default :serious_NF:
Does it still have SP or its shunned ??
