FINALLY it looks like they figured out....

Cops
Damage
most-wanted lighting
open-world
most-wanted styled environment


Carbon and prostreet sucked, and I think they got that.

Last NFS game I played was Most Wanted on the gamecube :( I might get this for 360, that'll make up for the rubbish gfx on gamecube MW :P

Unlike Most Wanted I hope they FINALLY implement night AND day back in. They were in the old need for speeds. Also third picture looks complete amazing. Driving in a tropical after-storm ftw.

Fuckin' sick! Its about time they realized how hard Carbon and ProStreet blew, and im glad that they brought back the Most Wanted look to it. Plus the graphics are :awesome:.

because they dont have to spend time working on a good story, believable characters or plot.

and it's really not that good, sure the cars are great and all but the other stuff isn't that hot to blow chunks over.

NFS 5 was probably their best, if not tied with MW or UG

i really liked underground 2 and missed all the custimisation that it allowed for you.

MW was great, but i wanted to be able to do alot more to the car then just change it's paint :/
If they got the Environment of MW down (looks pretty good) customization of Underground 2 and the ability to do every type of race in both games it will own.
it's just fun playign in the sandbox sometimes :)

You can't be serious, selling their souls to Porsche didn't make a good game.

Looks awesome. Hopefully it's like Underground 2 and Most Wanted combined, but with GUNZZZZZZ

Seriosuly though, they need to do a Mad Max style Need for Speed, where you customize your shitbox dirt cart ride thing into this awesome sauce thing with miniguns and shit.


Wait, that sounds like Rage :3

Geez, I feel like playing Carmageddon again. A current-gen Carmageddon would be seriously :awesome:

Anyways I agree with the MW style but Carbon had the greatest customisation. They also need to bring back the ability to free-roam with cars you customise outside of the story mode. After you finished Carbon, you couldn't make enough money for new cars. I don't know why they took that feature out of UG2.

Being EA I hope they don't dowse it in ads like ProStreet. They even had sponsors for the bloody achievments :mad:.

Yeah, Underground 2 was definitely an amazing game, and I hope that this one is like it, but better. I don't know, but having a little pimped-out Mazda Miata being able to go over 300kph was just very satisfying.

So far, this seems to be missing the pimping-out part (no underglow :(), but it seems like it has many other good things, such as cops, which were always fun.

I liked Porsche Unleashed for its turn on the series and style but it wasn't that great. I'd say that I probably enjoyed NFS 3: Hot Pursuit the most since it was the first NFS game that I played and innovated friggin cops into it with good graphics (at the time). I liked NFS 4: High Stakes as well with a damage system, some great new maps, but it still had the same crap graphics. NFS 6: Hot Pursuit 2 is probably my favourite next to NFS 3. The exotic cars and environments just captivated me. And the graphics were something to drool over back then. Sometimes I'd just randomly install it play it just to see what it looks like. It's a very beautiful game and I've racked up hours upon hours upon hours with just NFS 3 and NFS 6 alone. Underground 1 was pretty good. Very impressive in my books. Underground 2 was a pretty slick game as well but I didn't liek it as much as the first one. I dunno, I like cinematics :eyesroll: Once Most Wanted came out it was just basically sick street cars as well as exotic ones with police and timeshifting. I personally didn't find too much interest in it. After that I just disregarded any NFS game that came out. It just drifted way too far away from the traditional gameplay that I knew and loved from the previous games. UG2 and MW stretched it pretty far for me but Carbon just shot the last arrow straight into the heart of NFS. Pro Street was the imp dancing on NFS's corpse. Let's see if this one is bullshit too.


NFS 5 was probably their best, if not tied with MW or UG

Hahaha, definitely not. :lol:

HA HA yeah.

NFS3 was my first pc game I ever played...period.
I had over 3k downloaded cars for that game, and played it way too much. This is one of the best.

NFS4 was decent. I played it for the same reasons I played NFS3, but I enjoyed parking my ferrari on the train tracks.....It was fun....

NFS5 was awsome for me. I played it more than I should have. I guess I was just a Porsche fan, and I loved the style of the singeplayer and factory driver missions. It was different than its counterparts, and made for one hell of a game.

NFS6 I agree had stunning Graphics when it came out....yet I didnt play it too much. I mostly did free runs and left it at roaming the cities really fast and enjoying the beauty.

NFS7 I didnt get right away, because I wasnt really into the whole tuner genre. But being a fan I finally fell and bought it, and It was the best so far. I played this game about as much as I did HP and PU combined. I really got into tuners (until the spoilers/body kits got rediculous and no longer looked sporty, like ALL of the AI in the game.).

NFS8 I played alot mostly because of the free-run option, but I still think UG1 was a better play-through.

NFS9 was the shit. No criticism I can give here. It had jaw-dropping Graphics at the time, and was by far the most fun to play.

NFS10 can suck my cock

NFS11 had a pretty engine.....but It blew ass, and made me go play GRID.

Any one else worked out you play as an undercover cop? I really hope they dont screw it up with the cow/law.

Same here, infact when I play NFSU2, I usualy just cruise around using my action replay to go 50X faster, those semi's allways flew about 30 ft in the air xD

Thats not the point. The supra is my favorite car in the world and I would kill to own one, the point is their has not been an AWD supra since the Celica Supra, which was during the 80's.

I hope they aren't this fucking stupid.

Gah I'll give you a rundown later seeming as I dont want to type right now, but It wasn't anywhere near mediocre. Also note that you really didn't get to use the full enviroment that much. It was mostly focused on the city area.

^^ Same here, I'm thinking of getting a driving game for the 360. Undercover is one of the considerations. Like Xet said alot of reviewers said it was pretty poor and didnt live up to the full potential, then again a friend has it and he said its really good (but wont bloody let me borrow it :P)
