The rear bumper is missing, but from damage modeling or by customization choice?

I'm going with customization choice, since it's kinda a thing these days. Damage modelling would be nice though.

Open-world...narrative...:/

I can deal with a MW/U2 open world, where the tracks were still cordoned off. A true open-world like Paradise, MW2012 or Rivals isn't really my jam though :/

 

[Insane Metal]

Another open world racer.

Fuck.

Open world is a good enough reason for me not to get it.

Just let me race man..

Yeah. I think I'll skip this one too.

I'll just get the first NFSU again though, those were the good days.

 

[Chamber]

All footage captured in-game :O

My ass.

Anyway, open world + cops is enough reason for me not to get excited.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Why are people so unbelieving? It doesn't look any better than Driveclub really, and the shots people have taken of that game in the screenshot thread, o lawd

The thing is nobody has seen this latest version of Frostbite running on a PS4 or XboxOne.

I have my doubts too.


And yep i dont like that its Open World :/ Why is everything open world this gen?

 

[Trago]

"immersive narrative"
why?!

The racing genre deserves a good story no?

 

[TheSeks]

This is a full reboot of the franchise and not a sequel. We've been listening to what people are wanting so you can expect deep customisation, a nocturnal open world and a narrative experience.

So this isn't Underground "3," then?

*hype canceled* See you when you make an Underground, then.

 

[Mob_zter]

This is a full reboot of the franchise and not a sequel. We've been listening to what people are wanting so you can expect deep customisation, a nocturnal open world and a narrative experience.

SO eerrrrrr narrative experience means there's going to be some kind of story ryt

 

[Syntsui]

I bet everyone complaining that this game will probably be 30fps loved to play U/U2/MW with your PS2/GC/XBOX and never gave a fuck about it.

 

[Visualante2]

I'd go out on a limb and say most people prefer open world racers these days.

 

[Hattori]

The lightning is pretty good!

Yussss! I'm so in

 

[dark10x]

Come on, there's nothing about those visuals that seem impossible for consoles.

I remember the last NFS game that ran at 60fps on consoles.

I wait.

I don't.

Because there has never been one. Hell, going by Rivals, they are probably going to even lock the PC version at 30fps.

Well, to be fair, NFS3 actually runs unlocked and gets close to 60fps on PSX. It's rather unstable and feels a bit jerky as a result but I'm just saying.

And yep i dont like that its Open World :/ Why is everything open world this gen?

It's not. DriveClub got yo back.

 

[Kane1345]

Show me gameplay EA. I'm mildly excited for a new NFS, hope it delivers

 

[jello44]

Implying Underground 2 and Most Wanted weren't the best NFS games?

Most Wanted 2005, sure.

 

[Pachimari]

Cops are a core tenet of Need for Speed, but you don't necessarily have to play them. They need to be there as this adversarial set-up to bring tension towards the gamer. This game is built upon more authentic urban car culture, and as such you care about your car. There will definitely be cops in this world but they're not going to be other players.

Boo, no cops-catching-robbers kind of multiplayer mode.

 

[Luke_Wal]

I liked Rivals a lot as a PS4 launch game; interested to see how this turns out. Trailer looks phenomenal, at least. Wonder if this shows up at one of the conferences?

 

[AristoCat]

The lightning is pretty good!

Rocket Bunny S13, I'm in!

 

[Tizoc]

Can't watch the video at work, but will be arcade racer style like a few previous NFS games?

 

[Silver Arrows]

What is interesting to me is that EA seems to be once more fully involved in Speedhunters. It seemed for a few years it was nearly non existant.

 

[Conduit]

Sony has another marketing deal with EA's game???

From german PS Blog ( google translate ) :

Need for Speed ​​returns this fall back on PlayStation 4
The duration of Renner EA sits in the Star holes

[Horsemama1956]

Hope there are no fucking cops as I'm sick of them.

 

[Leafhopper]

Implying Underground 2 and Most Wanted weren't the best NFS games?

Neither one of those are Hot Pursuit 2.

Hope there are no fucking cops as I'm sick of them.

I hate to break it to you, if you watched the video, there is cops.

 

[Visualante2]

The racing genre deserves a good story no?

[MilesTeg]

I just hope this game doesn't play exactly like Burnout. Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted (never played Rivals so no opinion) were essentially Burnout games if we are talking about gameplay mechanics. I would like NFS to feel like something different this time.

No more crazy turbo. Nitrous is a staple of Underground obviously, but don't make it a carbon copy of Burnout.

No takedowns.

No boosting turbo because of driving on the wrong side of the road, no boosting turbo because of close calls.

No more taking corners at 200mph, tapping hand brake and busting out of the turn at top speed. I know NFS can be forgiving, but it shouldn't be on the level of Burnout/recent NFS games.

 

[Derp]

Please let it be individual customization instead of "body kit 1, body kit 2, body kit 3"...

Carbon had the best customisation out of all the NFS games. You could add a different front bumper, rear bumper and skirt and modify parts of each of them with sliders, so it was like sculpting your own body kit (number of styles were limited of course). You could also buy full aftermarket body kits (which I mostly ended up doing because the complete kits still looked the best).

 

[Pachimari]

Hope there are no fucking cops as I'm sick of them.

There are cops, but players can't be cops. Only the CPU.

 

[v1lla21]

Best NFS have been open world. Horizon was open world. Nothing wrong with an open world racer. People just bitching for the sake of it. Being skeptical about graphics is fine as I don't expect it to look anything like that. Deep customization is awesome and I love that there's a 180sx. Story better be as fun as the original most wanted.

 

[Petrae]

I'd go out on a limb and say most people prefer open world racers these days.

That does seem to be the case, with this sub-genre being so common these days. That said, the trend has led to my saving more money because I can't stand this sub-genre and won't spend a dime on it. More money for other games.

 

[Sid]

Will the races be closed circuit like Underground 2?

 

[danowat]

Man alive, you lot are cynical...

 

[Mob_zter]

Yeah. I think I'll skip this one too.

I'll just get the first NFSU again though, those were the good days.

NFS is kinda Open world with Underground 1 & 2. This is a reboot. Dont jump the ship yet. Personally i think this is the game i have been waiting for years. I always loved NFS.its the only Car game i can get into. But i didn't play any NFS game after The Run. Im thinking i will be buying this game on day 1. Teaser looks great to me. cant wait for E3.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Would be cool if EA could stop this "InEngine" Trailers and simply show some uncut gameplay.

Even Ubisoft nowadays shows gameplay after a reveal.

 

[BeforeU]

Neither one of those are Hot Pursuit 2.

Yuks Hot Pursuit was nothing special and we already had similar cop NfS games recently.

Undergeound is hands down one of its kind. And we never had that type of game since U2.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Hope there are no fucking cops as I'm sick of them.

Was just about to post this. After being constantly hounded by them in Rivals I'll sit this one out if the same is the case here.

 

[RipperGrim]

That was a pretty bad trailer.

What I knew yesterday was that there's a new nfs coming that will be heavily influenced by the underground games.

What I know now is that there's a new nfs coming that will be heavily influenced by the underground games.

Gona have to see the game in action for me to get hyped about a nfs game again l.

 

[zelas]

Another open world racer.

Fuck.

Yeah I'm 100% out. If they were actually listening then they would make a game in the vein of the highest scoring NFS game.

 

[shinobi602]

No problems with open world for me. Underground 2 and Most Wanted (2005) were as well and they're the best in the series for me. Inject it into me.

 

[Ghost_Ben]

I hope that means only night races, that would be great.

Yes, only night.

 

[Remark]

I only played the PS2 version, were the other versions on GC and XBox really 60fps? I doubt that for some reason

Yeah they actually were. I know the GC ver was.

 

[Pachimari]

I hope that means only night races, that would be great.

From dusk till dawn basically.

 

[Derp]

Yes, only night.

OH YES!

 

[BeforeU]

I am simply going to put it this way. Cop = no buy from me. I want game similar to Undergeound style.

 

[dr_rus]

This is a full reboot of the franchise and not a sequel. We've been listening to what people are wanting so you can expect deep customisation, a nocturnal open world and a narrative experience.

I hope you understand that everything you've said sounds exactly like a "sequel" to some Underground 2 or Most Wanted. Why is this a reboot? What is changing so much that this is a reboot?

 

[Trago]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DSVDcw6iW8

As far as gaming is concerned

 

[Cidd]

Man alive, you lot are cynical...

Who's fault is that?

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Yes, only night.

What about Lights under my Car?

 

[fargofallout]

What a waste of time. Show me some gameplay.

 

[Leafhopper]

Yuks Hot Pursuit was nothing special and we already had similar cop NfS games recently.

Undergeound is hands down one of its kind. And we never had that type of game since U2.

I mean specifically Hot Pursuit 2. I know it wasn't out of the ordinary or unique, I just found it really fun.

 

[Novel Mike]

This is a full reboot of the franchise and not a sequel. We've been listening to what people are wanting so you can expect deep customisation, a nocturnal open world and a narrative experience.

Honestly you quoting exactly what every article is using to describe the game doesn't give me any hope, just sounds like more PR bullshit.

What does Deep Customization mean that the series didn't have before it (I'm thinking microtransactions, yay....)? What is a nocturnal open world and how is that any every then the open world and day/night cycle the games have had in the past (oh you answered that, no day so less is now more somehow?) And all a narrative experience means is that there is a story correct? Which going by the average video game story means it'll be worthless at best. These are just bullet points for PR to hand out to the press and you repeating that only makes me less interested then it otherwise would.

I'm sure you aren't allowed to actually talk about details yet but saying that you've been listening and then all we hear about in the announcement is PR BS isn't encouraging and unless you are counting a cut scene as gameplay now, no way the actual game will look like that.

 

[Nestled_Grizzly]

What about Lights under my Car?

This is the most important question

 

[Syrus]

The was an in game cinematic , not gameplay, no way
