Yes please.
But that screenshot reminds me of a similar bridge shot in Paradise, so who knows.

2005, so 7 years by the time this game is out. That's the same, or a little bit more than the Resident Evil remake or Twin Snakes gap between their original games.

I've been waiting for Underground 3. I don't know why they don't at least try to make another one. U2 was the last NFS game that I liked. It had better driving physics and car customization than any NFS game that came after it.
We already have enough generic NFS games to last a life time, make something new please.

Because Underground brings a whole lot of associations with it in terms of setup, tone, and gameplay focus, none of which have anything to do with what Criterion is into.
This is a Criterion NFS game. It will focus on chases. Underground barely had ANY focus on police chases, it was more about blinging out your cars and a street-racing culture that barely exists anymore (see NFS: Pro Street for a better representation of what the street racing community has evolved into).
Best car customization? Sure. Best driving physics? No. Not even close.

Better be good! Most Wanted is my favorite arcade racer of this generation.
YES.

Which NFS game would you say was better? I've played every NFS game that came after Underground 2 (except Undercover) and none of them even feel close to how good U2 felt. They are all floaty messes. And if they are floaty, they add some crap drifting mechanic to get around corners (*cough* Hot Pursuit *cough*). Perhaps it was the customization that made U2 feel so good since you could make the car handle and feel how you wanted it to.
Midnight Club has better customization.

Gah, would it have killed them to get their hands on an F30 3 Series M?

I will buy this because Criterion is developing but I really want Burnout Paradise 2
Again, games that make no money rarely get sequels.
EA gave Criterion a looooong leash on that game too. Criterion asked to make free DLC packs over and over, in hopes that offering more and more free content would get people to pick the game up.
It didn't work.
It did, however, make people like me - who love Burnout, love Burnout Paradise, and love getting free content - absolutely ADORE the game.
Agreed. But I'm pretty sure he meant as far as NFS games are concerned, not all racing games.

YESSSS!!!! FUCK YESSS.
More crash physics, less bumper cars/rolling cardboard box car.

Midnight Club may have been on par with the exterior customization, but I don't remember you being able to customize gear ratios, suspension, etc. Its been awhile since I played MC:LA though, so maybe you could do that and I just don't remember.
wow, I didn't know that it was a low seller. Sad because it's easily one of my favorite games this generation.
But that's my point...

Loved Hot Pursuit, loved the old Most Wanted, will be looking to pick this up. Just don't short change the PC version with your DLC this time EA/Criterion (or don't do DLC at all, thanks).

Feel?
Chameleon runs at 60hz.

Just a quick extract for you:
So in terms of feel, Hot Pursuit feels like a 60hz game so im not sure what you are obsessing over.
In fact Hot Pursuit in terms of controller response is only one frame behind Burnout Paradise....so you re telling me that extra frame takes a game from heavenly to absolute shit?

I love me some Most Wanted, but you're crazy if you think it's a better racing game than Burnout Paradise.
Perhaps you're looking for a 'Garage Game' with some racing on the side?

Most fun I've had with racing games this gen were in Most Wanted, Hot Pursuit and Midnight Club: LA.
Is this has the same slow-mo and boost mechanics and looks as good as Hot Pursuit/The Run (ass game but absolutely gorgeous) then I'll be in heaven.
Theres a demo of the original on XBL for those that haven't played it.

I can't quote specific sales numbers (remember, Paradise was one of the first games to come out digitally too, on PSN), I just know the game cost a lot more to make (especially when you factor in DLC that was given away for free) than it made back.
By comparison's sake, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit made EA a decent chunk of change, even with all the licensing fees for the real cars.

This is completely okay. Let's hope they make it so.
You're doing it wrong.

Absolutely appropriate.
I really need to keep this gif in my mind whenever GAF users are being unreasonable.

Cover looks cool except for the white space.
Should read:
From the Creators of BURNOUT, BURNOUT 2, BURNOUT 3, BURNOUT PARADISE
By the creative team at CRITERION
