A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Khyzyl Saleem (artist) just got hired by EA, Ghost Games (NFS Rivals) this year for his amazing car stuff.

I seriously doubt it will be a new Underground. I remember listening to a podcast long ago (Around the time the Ferrari DLC for SHIFT dropped) and one of the PR guys for EA basically said, "Underground 3 won't come because the trends aren't there."
Then again, NFS is in such dire straits at the moment, so I wouldn't be surprised if they reneged on that.

I spent so many hours messing with the customization in Underground 2, it was a very good game to say the least! Underground 1 was also amazing, but that open world was next level for me at the time in Underground 2. So much fun just driving around and doing hydraulics in the middle of the street. Good times.
I would fucking LOVE Pro Street 2!
Looks like it's only you and I Dave, who would want that though..
However, what we aren't in agreement with is another Underground. I would fucking sell my wife and her mother for Underground 3!

I was 'wishing' for Underground 3 to be at E3 and good old Ghost Ben came to the rescue..
It's going to be Underground 3 bitches!
Ghost Games, I want:
Customization...lots and lots of customization(upgrdaes,tuning,visual)
Variety of cars including tuner,muscle and not just exotic
Needs a cheesy story..bring back Razor!!
Awesome soundtrack...by that I mean the cars themeselves
Whatever you do though, please it has to be in spirit of the originals and not some weird makeover like Criterion's Most Wanted was..
C'mon!!

Last year the department at my school got an email from a rep from EA (Ghost Games!) asking for some photographers to take reference photos of all parts of virginia for references for a new need for speed game...not sure if this will be it or not.. guess we will see!

Agreed. I don't know why EA doesn't just kill the series, there hasn't been any sort of soul since arguably Carbon / Prostreet. Criterion didn't help at all, and Ghost simply looks out of their league.

I just think they are using the Underground name for the hype it will bring, their games haven't been that good lately in my opinion and I don't see it changing. so yeah, I'm cynical as fuck about this.
Also Autolog is fine just like Hot Pursuit but really don't push it like Rivals did..that was pretty terrible.
For the love of god Ghost games/EA listen to your fans. I played all NFS way back to the 90's and Hot Pursuit from 2010? Can't even come close to Most Wanted 2012 and Rivals.
Underground 2 was my most played game ever. The tuning,customization,the races were so damn good don't let limitations set in. Don't put horrible tutorials from the get go that to me is a stonebreaker and a chore. Yes a cool intro is nice but after that i just want to race,compete do my own thing just like Driveclub. Click and play but off course this has to be the same way Underground 2 did. Yes some basic simple tutorial while driving unlike Rivals where you get stopped every damn second and can't start racing after complete both tutorials.
Posted it earlier but holy shit starting up underground 2 for the first time with this track. It had me hooked.

Seeing how NFS No Limits on mobile had great customization and the NFS franchise had a break for one year which means that whatever they've been working on they've taken more time than usual.

Shame that no one seems interested in making some more sci-fi abstract cars in a racer (I assume there's "no audience")

This post is just confusing. NFS is one of the best selling racing games around. As for Criterion not doing anything for it. They not only turned the series around critically, but they boosted its sales as well.
Yes that they do ..
Thing about this new NFS if and underground its going to be all the crazy micro transactions for mods bodykits and so on that back in underground 2 they would've just put into the game on day one
But in any case if the game is underground 3 I will be getting it!

After the recent NFS games I doubt it will be even remotely fun. Last "good" NFS was Shift 2, IIRC. I bought MW for the Vita on a sale and the way the missions were handled was terrible.

I know what kind of numbers it moves. And to be frank, I really don't give a shit about reviews. Criterion killed the series by basically making it into Burnout. It certainly lost it's cache with me, and I used to be the first one to defend NFS.
One of the main reasons why I want this to be underground 3 it's because if it sells well it will bring the trend back. Imagine Rockstar bringing back midnight club and how many new awesome IP 's will rise from different developers and even indie ones if this becomes a thing again.
Oh, and Ghost Games..there better be a fucking dyno in the game.

I believe Underground was the last game to feature a dyno and it was an arcade game for goodness sake.
All these other 'sim' racers should be putting this feature in their games..

Damn you EA. Finally making products I'm actually interested in. It's been so, so easy to avoid you the past 5 years. I'd also accept Carbon 2 as the name if not Underground 3. You know, that last one that wasn't awful.
It's been so long, I'd actually welcome something this hilariously cheesy.

Midnight Club will (hopefully) come back this generation, even if this is true / and or it sells well. Considering it'll probably use GTA V's general framework (Especially in terms of environment)
I hope.
New guy in town, start with a 240sx and work your way up. That's how every street racing game should start.
Just as much as you love badly designed levels.
