online is not an issue for me at all. especially if the game runs on (good) dedis like we are being told.
if it runs on shitty servers though, refund!

no cockpit view, I can handle, although this is about car culture etc, missing those is missing a very big chance for cockpit customization.

but I DO need a view I can play on, and that view is not 3rd person, and it sure as hell isnt that very low/pulled back front camera the last nfs had.
at least a proper hood view is required.
show me ghosts!

Would've been nice to have a cockpit. But yeah, a GOOD bonnet view is a must.
Actually, Pro Street had a unique view you don't see in many games. There was a hood view that was slightly off centre toward the driver side. I wouldn't mind that option in the game.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Oh look it only took ten years for EA to listen.

 

[Methamatics101]

lol, I take it that hype has deflated since the online for single player announcement?

Pretty much. My hype went skydiving without a parachute the moment 'always-online' was said to be a requirement. They've hit all the right notes so far, but AO is a dealbreaker for me - as with the Crew.

I guess UG2 will have to do till the end of times.

Man, this game is sounding great if they can pull it off and pull no punches. Shame about no cockpit view as that'd be pretty amazing, but I'm looking forward to this.

 

[flashmouth]

I really like the dashboard cam in DiRT Rally, this should be in every racing game. But since there are no cockpits in new NfS, the odds we're see something similar are probably... none.

Need for Speed ‏@NeedforSpeed
This is your ONE WEEK warning to E3, new trailer incoming!

 

[Newlove]

Thought we'd have a gameplay demo, I guess we'd get both though. Unless that means incoming before E3.

 

[saladine1]

Few more days left!

 

[mkacc]

I don't think anyone posted this one yet?

EDIT: from nfs twitter it seems.

Holy crap...that looks insane. Absolutely stunning detail

 

[a916]

Holy crap...that looks insane. Absolutely stunning detail

In menu shot where there's very little else going on, so doable, but yeah, that looks stunning!

 

[angelcage87]

If it isn't a mock-up, the menu cars look leagues ahead than forza's. We'll see gameplay, but the always online stupid shit certainly doesn't help the game much up to this point, we'll see.

 

[Makki]

Cars are always wet arent they? This is gonna be night only and a moist simulator.

 

[TheAdmiester]

I hope at the very least that the wet car is an indicator of weather.

It irked me how in the two most recent NFS games, there was "false weather" everywhere. In MW2012 the roads were always wet despite having constant sunny days, and in Rivals the cars were always wet unless you were in the desert. It's a bit weird in a game where it never rains, so I hope that in this game the cars can either become dry, or we get weather.

 

[The Albatross]

"Nocturnal" ... Only night then? bummer.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

"Nocturnal" ... Only night then? bummer.

Whats the problem? Underground was at night only too. Its a way better feeling.

Btw here is that new image even bigger

 

[Afrikan]

This game is using the same enhanced version of Frostbyte as SW Battlefront...

so I expect gameplay models to look similar to that menu model.

Excited for E3!

 

[RoKKeR]

Oh hell yes to that shot.

 

[Inuhanyou]

So i guess they didnt respond at all for the petition to have the game playable without an internet connection? Pass.

 

[saladine1]

Damn, looks insane!

 

[valkillmore]

Wow that looks crazy. I love racing games.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Looks like its set in the same universe as Kane and Lynch 2 with those filters.

 

[T.O.P]

Lookin hawt

So stocked for some gameplay

 

[oxidax]

That Rocket bunny BRZ shot looks crazy real.

IM HYPE!!!!!!!

 

[turtlesbonanza]

Game play from E3

[Dilly]

Looks great, but that chasecam completely seems unplayable. :/

 

[dukie85]

So doesn't look like we can pick individual kit parts? Total bummer if true, but I'll manage

 

[Breakage]

Looks great, but that chasecam completely seems unplayable. :/

Agreed. Those sweeping camera angles are annoying.

 

[dragn]

Agreed. Those sweeping camera angles are annoying.

maybe you can turn normally too and not just drift

Spoiler

ea pls

 

[EDarkness]

Looked okay, but the drifting didn't look good. I hope that can be turned off.

 

[CDV13]

So I'm just glad they played Night Riders in the trailer....since that song is absolute flames.

 

[Lnkn52]

This is looking so good right now:

NFS Stage Demo w/ Gamespot
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/need-for-speed-s-e3-2015-reboot-does-not-disappoin/1100-6428236/

 

[dukie85]

So, no new info to go on? Seems like after E3, they went relatively dark again.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

So, no new info to go on? Seems like after E3, they went relatively dark again.

Maybe they decided to go back and remove the online requirement.

 

[Atlas157]

The only thing I don't like about this is the stupid drift camera. If they remove that I'm getting this day 1.

Pretty sure it was confirmed to be an option

Are there YT links for this? Gamespot's player is straight ass.

[Delta Assault]

I've been demanding for years that we needed a game that united the Culture of Speed.

 

[Atlas157]

Pretty sure it was confirmed to be an option

I guess I missed that info. Thanks.

 

[Biker19]

Online only? Fuck that shit.

 

[Armaly]

Woah, it's online only? Damn, I was really excited for this. :/

 

[strafer]

I almost got what I wanted. And there's even time for Razor to show up.

Imagine this for Underground 3.

• The car customization from Underground & Underground 2
• Open World (combine all the cities from the previous titles)
• Weather
• The cinematic cutscenes from Most Wanted & Carbon
• Razor Callahan
• Gameplay types (Circuit, Drag, Drift, Sprint, Pursuit)
• Cops
• Frostbite engine /w dat audio
• And lots of cars

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this.

NFS might not be be an annual franchise again

http://www.vg247.com/2015/07/31/a-need-for-speed-game-in-2016-ea-is-not-sure/

Would be a good move I think, take two years to make the best game you can, no need to pump out any old trash just to make a yearly deadline.

Suppose it depends how this does and how Criterions does.
Maybe EA will alternate between both devs for their annual racing game.

Criteron aren't making anymore racing games, so it can't be that.

As far as i know they are working on new crazy adrenaline racing game with different vehicles.

No? Looks pretty racey, not very traditional mind you..

I think it's hilarious that no matter how good this game looks, I'm automatically not buying it because of DRM. It's unbelievable how one decision can instantly eradicate everything else like that.

Oh yeah I forgot about this, EA's 2014 E3 was so forgettable. Maybe that's what they will do then, I wouldn't mind if that was the case.
