Underground 1&2 HD? :p (can see it being this lol)

That said a proper open world NFS: Underground which improves upon Rivals tech would be cool and if reviews good I'll end up buying.

Given the position the person holds, it wouldn't be for any HD remakes.

Awesome. I did a F&F marathon before seeing 7 recently and after the first 3 all I could think was, "the world needs NFSU 3".

Yeah I figured it'd be Underground, everything seemed to be hinting towards that.

This years NFS is going to be insane. Underground reboot AND a 2 year dev cycle? give it to me EA.
 
Give me a stupid story, stop focusing constant online bullshit,

FMV would be a bonus

Agreed, I miss the story (regardless of how terrible), and the FMV just added to the awesome cheesy "Fast & Furious B-movie ripoff" vibe.

Highly looking forward to this if it turns out to be Underground.

The Creative Director on Rivals was Craig Sullivan, who directed Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit. Ghost Games UK is Criterion.

First let's start by saying I love need for speed underground ..

So in short hell yeah I want it and want it now
But my only "problem" with all of this is e3 is 3 weeks away why not save the reveal for it it would be something that would create buzz and talk around each press ..

I donno maybe its just me but feels like it takes away from e3 by telling us its coming 2 weeks before e3 even if we all know its coming

Lol OK now that I'm done with that guess I can say hell yeah better be underground sense its the most fun I ever had with a NFS series
 
I'm going to keep my hype in check and not expect it to be good until it's out. There's only like a 40% chance NFS games are great based on history.

Most Wanted was one of the best in the series, and the modern namesake is among the weaker entries. Ghost last game, Rivals, was "Eh, it's alright" at best. There's a very high chance this won't live up to expectations brought on by the Underground label.

Thank god for Playground Games.

Wish list:

- Customization... lots of it (Underground 2 level of customization)
- I don't mind if it's open world but I do want to be well designed tracks (UG or MW1 level of well designed)
- Good music (pls)
- Stupid story, I need it! (UG or MW1 level of cliché story)
- Online.... meh (I would not mind if it's not in the game, but since it's an EA game it's probably going to have so sort of online mode)

Well yeah creative director. That doesnt say shit. Rivals was hot garbage compared to Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit.

If Ghost Games UK mostly worked on Rivals as well then I dont have a lot of faith left in the studio I guess.

I would really like if it has original Underground 1 and 2 controls. Can't stand the handling in the newer NFS games.
Auto drifting in curves is the worst thing ever invented.
Would also really like to have the original (Mountain) Drift, Drag, Street-X and Underground races back.

If it's anything like the old games. OH. MY. GOD.

I just don't see how someone could like MW and HP but not Rivals. They're all pretty similar mechanically with the main difference coming down to the world design. That's the main reason why I still like HP most. Although I think Rivals is the second be among the recent NFS games.

This game better have good drifting
A shit load of cars without variants counting as a different car would help immensely. Gimme an escalade, F-150 Raptor, Range Rover, etc.
 
Ugh... The Fast and the Furious inspiration that spawned the direction they went with the Underground games was the worst thing to happen to the NFS series.

I'm guessing just like the rest of you but when I saw the blue text it reminded me of underground. That and my want of a sequel lol.

Need for Speed hasn't been the same since Underground 2, so now that it is pretty much confirmed, I'm really excited for this.
