I'm sure a lot of you remember Need for Speed underground 1 and 2 back in the day and if you were a fan of the street racing scene/cars the you would have loved it.

So it looks like they are finally going back to the roots of it and bringing out a new one!

I for one was very disappointed in most of the releases after the underground titles, but this looks fantastic! what do you think?

E3 gameplay trailer:


What is Leo Gregory doing on it? lol

Underground isn't the series roots.

As much as I liked them back in the day, I'm just not into that kind of racing game anymore- crap story, naff modifying, crap OTT graphical effects, very Arcady physics.

I'd much prefer a Shift 3 tbh.
 
Won't touch it if the ****** drift round everything and 150 miles an hour bs is in full force . Carbon was the last I enjoyed
 
If they're making another Underground then it can hardly be called coming back to the series' roots. I'd take a couple dozen of exotic cars on equally exotic, beautifully crafted and diverse tracks over this any day of the week.

NFS was always about driving pretty cars in pretty places accompanied by a great soundtrack by Rom Di Prisco and that's the kind of game I'd like to see. Simplicity, great graphics, great soundtrack, beautiful cars and a lot of exotic tracks in various places around the globe.

Those were the days:p:

obviously not set in the UK, no way could you race around the streets, you would get caught by the thousands of CCTV cameras, not to mention roadworks.
 
Looks alright, why do you have to drift everywhere!? He couldn't even drive in a straight line!!

Underground 2 is my favourite game of all time, so I can hope! :D

I've always been a bigger fan of:


The soundtrack and game
 
The most recent NFS Most Wanted was great. Probably because it was nothing like any other NFS game of the last decade or so :p.
 
Underground 2 was my favorite, so many mods for the cars. I just want to be able to drive fully modded Supra', S2000' and GT-R', can't be to hard to make happen right? Oh yeah and the starting car to be a Mustang or Civic Type R.
 
NFS porch 2000 I think it was called, great game and relaxing. NfsU2 was fun tho wasn't into street race life just liked racing in streets open world kinda and the upgrade system and cars.

I think I liked both equally but I must admit NFS2 had better and more varied tracks. Everything up to Porsche Unleashed was pretty fantastic but I also enjoyed the Shift Series and Criterion's take on Hot Pursuit.

Underground 1 was bland as ****. The second one was a lot better but still a far cry from what NFS stood for. I'm pretty sure this new game will be decent but I've already given up all hope for the series' ever coming back to its proper roots.
 
I didn't say Need for Speeds roots, I said the Underground roots, as in back that style of Need for Speed, that driving in the gameplay was a drift event and the camera is called action camera which can be changed.

I'm very much looking forward to it, they have done really well with the Frostbite 3 engine looks fantastic.
 
Loved NFU and still play it every now and again, didn't like the non-linear style of NFU2 though and this new one seems to be based on the same system.
Am willing to give this a try though as it does look pretty damn good.
