Yeah me too, went right downhill after that and became stupid fast and the furious rubbish instead.

Yea, the devs said the drift camera is completely optional.

Couldn't agree more. I wish they could just make a game with 40+ long, picturesque tracks in various exotic places around the world instead of one open city, give us a crapload of equally exotic cars to play with and top it all off it with beautiful graphics. And of course hire Rom Di Prisco to compose the soundtrack

Honestly, I'd play it to death.

Almost looks to good to be true.

looks incredible doesn't it Stulid, just can't believe those visuals will be that polished, they look to real.

The glory days of Need for Speed - traditionally a super car racing game through stunning landscapes - were not Underground 1 (Where you drove crap hatchbacks covered in stick on tat through a dark city)

I think he meant the glory days of underground the street racing scene

1000bhp JDM cars Skylines/Supras are not crap hatchbacks haha

TonyTurbo78 · 3 Aug 2015 at 17:32

yes I did, none of the modern day NFS games have hit anywhere near the buzz and feel of the Underground series. I've not enjoyed a single NFS game since Underground 2, they've all been so bad.

The first Most Wanted was good, that was the first game I ever got the 1000g from on the Xbox.

Read earlier that this will be "always online" and also that it's riddled with EA's social media crapware.

Oh well, I can safely avoid this then.

MrMarvelous · 11 Aug 2015 at 00:13

Yep. A potentially good game ruined without a valid excuse for the 'always on-line' requirement.

Tute · 11 Aug 2015 at 07:13

Well the "excuse" is that it's riddled with social media crap. I mean there seems to be some kind of system where you get rewarded for people "liking" your Facebook pictures?

Seriously EA, i'm not giving you access to my Facebook. Do your own advertising.

Really annoys me when games put in achievements & such for connecting your facebook!

just to add that trailer looks awful.

Same here. I've played them all but Underground was by far the best of them all. Sunk a lot of hours into them.

Glanza · 11 Aug 2015 at 13:01

Was looking forward to this and about to buy my first EA game in years.

Now with the always on social media link in, I'll be skipping it.

What a surprise, EA really know how to **** things up. What a shame.

Amatsubu · 11 Aug 2015 at 13:32

I struggle to find a reason why I'd want to go back to a bland city at night setting and all that "Yo, dude! Dat waz an awesome drift!" bullcrap. Feels like a step backwards, especially after experiencing the beautiful maps in Hot Pursuit and Rivals.

NFS will never go back to its true roots because most people seem to find more appeal in modifying a Honda S2000 in an old garage than in blasting through exotic landscapes in a Pagani Huayra

.

Besides, if the game's going to be full of EA's social malware then I'll definitely pass. I still remember Rivals and its ingenious concept of not having an active pause button.
