Underground 1 & 2 are the best NfS games, even my favorite racing games. Please let the game be good and not too flooded with online/social stuff

You mean based on this image
Yeah it looks closer to a 930 than a 964 judging by the headlights.
No, it's a 964.

The Underground games were basically built for online/social stuff. There are so many elements of the game that could be enhanced with that.

but they kinda messed up the Most Wanted remake recently didn't they...
Most Wanted 2012...Rivals both where a big mess on the long run.
Actually it was just the gameplay.
Bullshit asshole, no one likes the tuna here!
No, it's a 964.
Not so sure.
The above is a 993 and it looks a lot more similar to the first high resolution pic.

Pretty sure the green car isn't a Porsche at all. The area with the glass and roof goes too far back to be a 911, and the spoiler is a weird shape that I've never seen on a modded 911, the wingtips are further toward the front of the car than the main part of the spoiler.

I take it this reveal is different than Need for Speed: No Limits?

I've been waiting for something like this since Underground 2.
Don't disappoint me, EA. Please.

Wait what?
This one? It looked like a different car to me.
But I just noticed the second "layer" at the bottom of the wing that seems to match RWB kits, so now I'm not sure.

Do you even know how a 993 looks like?Not so sure.
The above is a 993 and it looks a lot more similar to the first high resolution pic.
The 993 has flatter headlights while the ones in the 964 stick out more, just like in the leaked pic.
Do the comparisons for yourself, there is no arguement that it's a 964. The body kit on the other hand is definitely inspired by RWB, whether or not it's an imitation there's no telling right now.
It's a 964, period. Stop over analysing. The body kit probably is based on RWB but not real since NFS games never used true aftermarket brands for their tuning options.

I always knew the Porsche in the images was a 964, if you look over the past pages you'll see I was one of the ones who pointed out why it wasn't a 930 or 993.
All I was saying was that the roofline on the newer picture with the green car's wheel didn't look like a 911 shape.

It's because of the weird perspective of the screenshot, since the fender is so wide it creates a visual illusion of the C pillar of the car being much more behind than usual.
Joke?
Because I spent more time getting to a race than racing. That's why I only played the mission list in MW.

Rivals solved this problem since you can pull up the world map and select an event and the game will warp you to the start of it.
SliChillax
Member
But I liked driving to the racing event, isn't that the point? The enjoyment of driving?
SolidSnakex

You can do that as well. Rivals just gave you a quick select in case you didn't want to drive a long distance for a specific mission.
See you tomorrow
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
SPEEDHUNTERS is my favourite auto site. I actually loved what SMS did with SHIFT 2 in regards to their association with SPEEDHUNTERS so I have full confidence that Ghost will do even better.
Fuiuuuuuuuuuuuudehudjfduuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!

At this point, I'm really hoping it's next gen only but I doubt it.

I love hot pursuit, the 2010 version, I'd love for nfs to go back to the race track method rather than open world.
I actually hope the same. No disrespect to last gen as I have both a 360 and PS3, but I really want this game to look/play/feel as good as possible.
SliChillax

Which I absolutely hate. I hope if there is tuning, it's not just stance related. I actually want to make my car prettier and improve the performance, not ruin it. There's Singer, Vorsteiner, Bulletproof etc etc. I don't think the will use real aftermarket companies though for the kits, NFS always had their own designs.

I think it has a pretty good chance of being current gen only. EA's sports games are really the only games that are crossgen at this point. And Rivals seemed to perform better on current gen than last gen. There really doesn't seem to be much benefit to releasing it on last gen platforms.

The problem with Rivals was the overabundance of police officers. I couldn't roam freely without a cop car chasing me every 2 minutes and that ruined the whole point of the open road. Even the open road is ridiculously small, considering how fast you drive through it, especially while evading the feds.
It wasn't a bad game but it wasn't a fun game. The novelty wore off after a few hours. Most Wanted was much better but it definitely shouldn't have been called Most Wanted, I enjoyed that game but it had a barebones single player and multiplayer. What's the point of having a game called Most Wanted and has no cops online?
This game really needs a meaty single player because online communities die very quickly, especially if its an unpopular game. I think the social integration is incredibly important in this revival, with the whole "swag, Instagram, snapchat, fame culture" in street racing. but they shouldn't forget to make a solid campaign, which has been sorely missing in NFS since Carbon.
I always wanted them to mix Underground and Most Wanted but we got a disappointing fusion with Carbon. Hopefully they don't remove cops entirely and bring back their nature as they were in Most Wanted 2005, while basically remaking Underground 2 for 2015 with social features added.
Best wishes.

if RWB is in this game. Rocket Bunny and Liberty Walk kids has to be in it too. Might cater to stance community
Gee, try driving one of those on shitty German roads. And sadly, I'm not even kidding

I agree about everything you said and let's not forget that you could not pause Rivals even in single player offline mode. The game had amazing visuals and a great looking maps but yeah, you mentioned what I didn't like with the game. Whether Underground 3 is open world or not it's not a big deal to me, I just don't want them to put a large focus on online bullshit but rather a rich experience for us car guys who are also into customization.
Import Tuner Challenge had great customization on the Xbox 360 but only a few people have played that, so did Juiced 2.

Any word of what time they will show the game tomorrow?
We need drifting first and foremost.

I loved NFS Underground 1 and 2, but knowing EA I am not getting my hopes up. With the way games are released these days, if this game doesn't turn out to be the greatest thing since Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, I'll probably pick up the GOTY or Complete edition during a sale, because you and I both know they'll be pushing pre-order cars, car packs, map packs and microtransaction to unlock parts like no tomorrow, something that goes against everything that I loved so much about the originals. Don't even tell me you think it wont happen.
The entire way the first two Underground games work (with how you progressively unlock better performing parts, higher class cars and cooler looking tuning parts, skins, rims, neon, doors, paints and skins) can just be too perfectly ruined by an endless stream of "pay to unlock stuff early" features for EA to not exploit it. I expect they're gonna focus on those gamers who pick up a game for a week and lose interest, so of course they'll have to be able to pay money in order to instantly get everything they want without having to put in any effort.
I know I'm being very cynical here and maybe it's unfair... I mean I guess kinda maybe thunder will strike EA headquarters three times and some miracle will occur that will keep the spirit of the original games intact, who knows right? I mean, what the hell, they might even not charge you for fuel in this one, wouldn't that be great? After that nonsense and bullshit like Dungeon Keeper, Dead Space 3, The Saboteur, Mass Effect 3 and PvZ 2 I feel like I need to have 0% expectations of any EA game in order to stay sane, so I'm going to guess it'll be like Underground 1 but with pretty graphics and boatloads of every type of DLC that I hate so much, and then just see what happens from there.

Which is also why I cannot get excited for Battlefront, as much as I'm hyped for Ep.7. I supposes everyone forgot Battlefield 4's fantastic launch, which they couldn't fix until the expansion was out. Fuck me, I'll stop being cynical about EA when they stop representing a South Park sketch...
Please be good... *cries*
