I don't much go in for day 1 purchases, but I could make an exception for this.

probably a console port with no AA, fps locked at 30fps etc

Well it is a console game

Any chance they can make a game with no rubber banding catch up?
I'd love to play them but I can't stand that **** ****.

This. Utterly ruined the first MW for me. I'd be happy for something like Carbon but longer.

I'm not holding my breath though, the last few NFS games have just been dross on the Burnout engine, which doesn't really suit this type of game.

this is great news, but lets see if it will go back to most wanted's pedigree

Alright, so what does everyone think of the first trailer?

First gameplay video:

From what I read on IGN this sounds like just what I wanted from the next NFS game.

To me - the gamplay video makes it look terrible.

Just as bad as the last game + they've tried to combine it with burnout.

NFS used to be a good game
Burnout used to be a good game

merging them together is a terrible idea!

Can you be a bit more specific? Like, say what you actually dislike about it?

Which is the "last game"? NFS:Hot Pursuit from 2010 was awesome. Do you mean Shift 2? I've not played that, so can't say for sure.

NFS:HP was made by Criterion. It was awesome. Before that, Burnout Paradise was made by Criterion. It was awesome.

merging them together is a terrible idea!

If they can achieve proper open world inner city driving in the style of Burnout Paradise, with the police involvement, the physics, etc from Hot Pursuit, then it will be great.

For my part, my only complaint with the video is that the handling looks floaty. It's doing that thing that you see in some games where it looks like the car is steering at its centre of mass rather than at its wheels, so the car sort of glides around rather than actually turning.

That looks and sounds fantastic!

 

[Twentyone]

Yep, I'm sold

 

[PiKe]

More burnout than need for speed I feel.

Quit it with obnoxious thread titles.

Quit it with obnoxious thread titles.

If a few symbols in a thread title are your biggest concern in life then you must have it easy.

This guy seems to have a lot of good to say about the game. Give it a read if you're interested: http://padinga.com/2012/06/06/e3-need-for-speed-most-wanted-amazes/

This better be exactly like Most Wanted from back in the day which is by far my favorite NFS game but with better graphics and newer cars.

Better Graphics: Check
Newer Cars: Check
Same as first NFS: Not entirely sure

Game looks terrible compared to previous ones
