I love NFS.

can't wait for the reveal!

Funny why they didn't hold off til E3 tho

 

[Rellik]

Please have the two of the most fearsome characters return.

Back when NFS was good.

 

[mreddie]

E3 is when they will likely show gameplay, they did this with 2015 NFS.

 

[Chaserjoey]

It's small, but I'm actually really happy they included the local time for Sydney in the image.

I'm keen for this game. I really enjoyed their last game despite it being online.

 

[FuriousOne]

I actually ended up being ok with the last one, it just needs a lot of fine tuning.

 

[the_milkybar_kid]

Fucking hell, does no one do surprises anymore?

 

[Hairsplash]

Shameful!! A fast and the furious knockoff!...

(Yes, i know that NFS came first, but you know "speed kills", lol... )

 

[Slackbladder]

I tried the last one. Hated it. Barely did any racing because of the ridiculous overlong videos. Gave up after an hour. If they get back to basics I'll try again. But that's a big if.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

I really hope the cars don't have tank physics like in the 2015 nfs. It just felt so weird and unnatural.

 

[kaskade]

I guess they get these announcements out of the way before e3 so they can do the on stage demos. I kinda miss the reveal trailer then gameplay demo one two a bit though.

Need for Speed: New Tires Buyer Simulator

 

[Gestault]

Hoping like heck they get a handling system that feels a little more universal and a lot less hand-holdey. Their visual presentation always hits the right notes, it's just been handling/game-structure/service-connection that gunks up the fun.

 

[tci]

They did. Twice.

Really.. I guess I didn't see anything in the promos for it then. Or did they do DLC?

 

[Tunned]

Carbon was the nfs game that froze the most on me. I was on ps2.

I played on PC, so I don't remember much issues, but Carbon was the beginning of the downward spiral for NFS, it was nowhere as good as Most Wanted.

I really want this to be a good NFS game, i've been waiting forever!

 

[valkillmore]

Fucking A Right On

Passed on NFS last outting, but I will seriously consider this one.

The graphics can look sick as hell but if the gameplay feels off, there's no chance I buy it. Hoping for a demo prior to launch.

It was a hell of a lot better than the game that came after, Undercover, now that game was bad, really really bad.

Carbon is a masterpiece compared to that.

Could not agree more. I actually mentioned that and then deleted it

It's in the actual game, you buy it stock and the body kit and vinyl get unlocked later.

And oh god, Undercover, my first big disappointment last gen

 

[Kiddy Dong]

If this is always online again then my interest for this instantly becomes zero.

 

[autoduelist]

I love the franchise and we don't have enough arcade racers this gen, so I'm in.

 

[paragonpro]

Please have the two of the most fearsome characters return.

If they put razor callahan in this game theyll have to rate it m

 

[Makikou]

Please have the two of the most fearsome characters return.

You forgot the one and only,

 

[mreddie]

Comparing 2015 vs. 2005 FMVs, 2005s had cheese but they had a charm to them, Razor and Cross were assholes but you connected with them. At least they did things.

 

[valkillmore]

You're in luck - it's confirmed you can play the campaign offline.

 

[nikos]

Hype! Can't wait to see what it's about. Loved the last one.

U crazy, Carbon was great

Love that game.

 

[KodaRuss]

Maybe they will reveal that it is actually a burnout game and everyone will buy it. /s

Ill check it out but it is going to have to do a lot for me to buy it most likely.

 

[Lgndryhr]

I am hesitant with all new NFS entries. After Carbon, it has been hit or miss. Prostreet was not very good based on the demo. Undercover and The Run were terrible. Shift was interesting, but not NFS to me. Hot Pursuit in 2010 and Most Wanted in 2012 was fun. Rivals was okay, but not great. The reboot in 2015 was terrible.

 

[Catchpenny]

They already said this one will not be always online.

However, it is from the same developer that gave us Rivals and NFS 2015, so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

2005 NFS was a product of its time.

Were you not surprised when you first saw this thread's title?

I really liked Rivals for whatever reason. Ended up platinuming it and had a lot of fun. The Koenigsegg Agera R/Police was an amazing car.

 

[Guileless]

Another Carbon?

The game we deserve.

 

[Wiped89]

Who's making it?!

Criterion or Ghost Games: day one.

Anyone else: no buy.

Ghost Games

 

[low-G]

Lost faith in this franchise.

The last one was very bad.

Yeah my expectations have hit rock bottom.

 

[Guileless]

I really liked Rivals for whatever reason.

It had a great, varied world map and was fun to play.

 

[Ivan]

Can't wait. Driving mechanics have to be better this time...

 

[Wiped89]

Ghost Games

Phew. Mostly ex Criterion staff there. I mean, NFS 2013 and 2015 were nowhere near the Criterion peak (Burnout Paradise, NFS Hot Pursuit and NFS Most Wanted) but I love racing games and they retained just enough of the old Criterion to keep me playing.

Fingers crossed they iron out the problems 2015 had (though I still platinumed that game lol). It will be a lot harder to play a mediocre NFS after Forza Horizon 3.

 

[drotahorror]

Prepare to be disappointed, most games since Underground 2002/2003) have been open world and I don't expect this to be any different.
I would love if they made more games in the same vein as the Criterion developed NfS, I loved those two titles

Guess you didn't get the memo. Criterion is basically Ghost Games.

I thought Rivals was good though. Very fun open world, and I typically hate open-world games. Just add ramps and open-world racers turn into fun for me. Not to mention it had a nice variety of scenery and was condensed pretty well.

 

[Compsiox]

Open world MMO Racing RPG. A direct competitor to The Crew.

I hear that. I put a lot of hours into fh3 and can't stop playing.

Cross! It'd be so cool if they brought him back. Of course this would have to be his ride:

 

[MMarston]

Please have the two of the most fearsome characters return.

BUT WHAT ABOUT RYAN COOPER

 

[Duxxy3]

Open world MMO Racing RPG. A direct competitor to The Crew.

It's playable offline and you can pause. So that MMORRPG is off the table.

I'm guessing a return to hot pursuit.

 

[Xpliskin]

Yes

 

[snowsabre93]

PLEASE DON'T RUIN THIS

 

[KORNdoggy]

online only = no buy.

 

[Brian_FETO]

I need it

 

[ReubyJuice]

I haven't played one of these since ProStreet (don't even know how many there have been since then...) - didn't even finish it back then, but I did enjoy it a lot. The car customization is always fantastic. Maybe I'll bite!
