Re: Last Post Wins

This game has caused me infinite frustration, yet I still post - it's too tempting not to.

Re: Speculation: NFSU3 in 2014

It's quiet interesting indeed. From reading the sources, I think it may very well be the case. As mentioned at the g4tv link, it's involves both the 'street scene' and the more exotic cars, so if the next NFS was in this vein then it would seem logical, trying to appeal to the many 'UG petitioners' ...

Re: Most Wanted Prop 130

Phantom_pain33, it's both basically. Each section of the image is a different point being made to support the notion that the speed limit should be brought up to 130mph. The humour is in the fact that to do so would be completely unrealistic, while supporting Most Wanted's obsession with speed. You ...

Congratulations Rizur, doing yourself and the site proud! Once again proving that the premier tuners are from NFSU.

Also, thanks for the little mention in the 8THTechH CotW, lol, wasn't expecting that!

Re: Criterion Games in charge of entire Need For Speed franc

I think on EA's part it's a good move for them, Blackbox have just blown too many opportunities from EA's perspective to allow them to keep making NFS games. I think Criterion have shown that they can create quality games, and Hot Pursuit did sell much better than The Run IIRC, but I was worried abo...

Re: Most Wanted 2012 Car List

According to Wikipedia, they said this will be their most varied car list yet, so I wouldn't bet on it being too close to Hot Pursuit in that regard Fishwiz.

Re: First Gameplay Video for NFS Most Wanted

Look, the racing itself doesn't look too bad, but overall I'm as cheesed off as the rest of you when it comes to the overall package, from first appearance anyway. First off, seems like Criterion wanted to take the relative success of Hot Pursuit, and turn it into an open world racer, and because of...

Re: Need for Speed Most Wanted confirmed!

I have to say, this is the first time I've been excited about this series in a very long time, but I'm still very skeptical. Even though Hot Pursuit was a quality entry, I don't want it to be like it, and even though it is one screenshot, I get that feeling a bit. As was mentioned, I'm going to be u...

Re: Most Wanted 2 wishlist/discussion thread

Personally, I hope that they make big steps of evolution in regards to gameplay, we've been getting near identical cop gameplay for years (Carbon, Undercover, World). Customization wise, I still long for the day in which we return to body customization close to the UG1/2 days. Vinyl wise, just make ...

Bearing in mind that at this stage it is just a rumour, what are you thoughts on a sequel to Most Wanted?

Use this thread for free discussion, but also posts your ideas on what you'd like to see in the game, and I'll collate them here in the first post.

Re: Most Wanted 2 in the pipeline?

Not getting my hopes up, but sounds promising...let's hope they do the original justice. Makes sense though, community demand (as well as UG2) plus the success of World, not to mention the decline in the series, it seems like a logical and popular move to make. Let's hope it isn't Undercover, and th...

Re: EA pitching a Need for Speed movie

The budget could improve the action side of things, but the actual quality of the narrative would be the major cause for concern. Not to mention the poor history of video game --> movie adaptations.

Re: EA pitching a Need for Speed movie

Look I wouldn't have high hopes for this at all, as YaelDjiel said its more franchising milking for cash than anything from my view. At best it could be a lot like the later FnF's. Would rather they just focused completely on making the next game in the franchise a polished and fun one.

In regards to Prostreet, it was a tweener, leaning more to the arcade side of things.

Yeah I agree that Shift 1/2 were solid games, but it's kind of a spin-off series - thus the dropping of the 'Need for Speed' prefix in Shift 2 Unleashed. So while that side of the series remains solid, the other side - the Undercover/The Run etc. side, lacks a long term direction going forward. If ...
