A new Battlefront, Tong Hawk, Rockband, Guitar Hero, and now this?
Is it 2005 again or what?

Not condoning their actions at all, but you can run it at 60 just fine with two launch parameters.

This announcement made me check what Three Fields (ex Criterion, Alex Ward, Fiona Sperry) are up to...
Is this new news?

No buy from me if it's not open world.
I want to drive my tuned car with freedom, no walls to put me in a box.
Like the Underground 2 days.

wouldnt say no to that, its still the best thing they've put out in years
It is. Saw it last week but I didn't make a thread.

Oh man drifting at night with a cityscape in the background... Getting Underground vibes for sure. Anybody know the year of that Porsche? I'm not that familiar with them. Hoping to see some older cars in this one.

1989-1994
No, it's not fine, because for one, the game isn't optimized for 60fps at all, and for two, if it drops one frame, it drops all the way back to 30fps, and thirdly not only does it drop to 30fps, it drops to half-speed.

I hope it's regular tracks and not open world. Also I hope it has good wheel support.

I would not mind it being open world with some fixed tracks. But don't make it burnout again. That was a retarded move. But then again don't make it driveclub either, I mean i love the hell out of the underground series, but i still don't want a exact carbon copy either, i still want the freedom to go places to meet interesting racers and battle them an be involved in story line of sorts. As well as race the streets but not just in one state though and i want the playground to be alive also and to be pretty big.
Given that i think the underground games was a good balance between both worlds for the most part. It just has to avoid the complete f up that was ubisoft's venture into the arena of racing games. Especially since that game could have worked out much better then it did but it was done so poorly and rushed and forgot what it wanted to be, compared to say forza horizon 2 which nailed it given its scope.

Thanks, that sounds good to me. The last NFS I played was Most Wanted 2012 and I was slightly disappointed that by far most of the cars were new.

I think I'd prefer open world for this, give me some good Underground 2 vibes, or Most Wanted. Underground 1 was fine but I think the open world actually benefited what EA was trying to do.

Better have get low in this, just for nostalgia's sake.
I've had enough open world racing to last me a life time. I really would like bespoke tracks, as long as they're well designed.

I know it slows down below 60 but it doesn't drop to 30 instantly (on another PC when it dropped, it would normally be 55 or so, not enough to notice the slow motion), and it is decently optimised. I can run it at 60 constantly.
Yeah, the Porsche 930 turbo in that game was great, like I said on the last page I hope they've finally realised what they have with their Porsche exclusivity.
Street, MP, pals with custom cars rolling down the street and this kicks in the background

I think its a pretty safe bet this will be open world. The only game that wasn't was The Run, if I remember correctly. I mean, other than The Run, what NFS games in the modern era have been closed circuit? And The Run was more of a point to point racer at that.
I'm guessing this is NFS Underground 3 and it will be open world.

Pretty much, though i think it wont be ubisoft open world but horzion open world hopefully with some things to spice it up and make fresh. But be a very good racer with a lot of variety and life.
I want something great to look at, great to handle and a amazing place to race in with some interesting events.

I recently re-played Carbon. I'd definitely be down for a new game in that style.

Man I'm hoping for a new underground game. That would be amazing.
this would be perfect
i can't remember a game more popular than U2 at the time, every damn friend i had at the time was alway boosting around about their tuned cars
I'M SO IN
pls don't fuck it up

A reminder of the message that they released when they announced that there wasn't going to be a NFS last year
http://ghostgames.com/news/the-future-of-need-for-speed/
It certainly sounds like at the very least it's going to be heavily Underground inspired.

It was the game GAF deserved, but not the one it needed right then

Will be interesting just to see if they learned their lesson from the past 4 or 5 need for speeds and actually made something good. I doubt it but like I said should be interesting to see how it turns out.

They will probably call it Underground too 
Reboot if u want to call it that.

People have asked for Underground and tuning forever now. Pretty sure there will be extensive customization.
Also, i like the Ghost Games guys, i really enjoyed Rivals and ended up sending them an e-mail. Got loot

They really have to nail down the feeling of Underground. I hope it doesnt play anything like Rivals. That game was awful to me.
I played about 20 minutes before getting bored of Rivals
Handling alone is something i couldn't stand
I'm hoping for something closer to Driveclub for this

I'd say cops ruined the enjoyment of Rivals for me tbh, talk about try-hards.

My heart follows this post. Not having to concern myself with street layouts and "Oh shit, I missed a turn?" moments would automatically gain my interest.
My head knows that open world is what all the kids play these days and that's where the money is. Burnout died for me when it went open world, yet Paradise is revered. Players want to explore, they want freedom, and open-world is the preferred design for multiple genres.
Ah, well. As a famous song once proclaimed, "You can't always get what you want..."
