Interesting news... any idea how this may affect the future of NFS as well as other EA franchises?

Re: Name the next NFS and score a free copy!

Well I didn't start the thread, but from looking at the date of the first post I doubt the competition is still going on :)

Re: Name the next NFS and score a free copy!

This thread did start in 2008..wishful thinking if you reckon you're still going to win a free copy, lol.

Feel free to keep guessing for fun though!

Re: About NFS!

A pity Juiced 2 was a let-down in the gameplay department.

And as a PC man, I haven't been able to try MC: LA, as much as I wanted to at the time.

Re: My Review of "The Run"

I can relate to the the difference between different control methods, and though they do function similarly, I would say there are resounding differences.

Re: Is NFS the Run worth getting?

You can have a look around the rest of this forum for a general idea of people's thoughts. Haven't played the game yet, and for good reason, it sounds short, too linear/scripted, weak story etc. However, I've seen responses on the net of people thoroughly enjoying it, so it's up to you, though don't...

Re: My Review of "The Run"

Sounds like more of a poor porting problem than an actual development floor, but equally bad none the less.

Never really been a fan of Quick Time Events anyway, but how did people find them in The Run? Good or bad?

Re: Abusing bugs is the same as cheating.

Try posting in a more mature manner datass, towards honke or other users. Also it's completely fair to discredit times obtained through the abuse of bugs, it makes it a lot more fair. We aren't EA so we can't change the game for you, so what honke is doing is making the leaderboards as fair as possi...

Re: My Review of "The Run"

Hot Pursuits style was not one for 'realism' - it was over the top for a reason. If Gran Tourismo had spike strips, jammers and etc., now that would be a bit weird.

To try and create to realistic story to justify HP's gameplay would be quite difficult. :)

Re: My Review of "The Run"

I think Frostbite 2 is a great engine, but was perhaps not refined well enough for The Run - I mean, you look at BF3, and there's no disputing it's beautiful, but it was created with shooting games in mind. Development spent time playing with Frostbite 2 to help it work better in The Run, but perhap...

Thanks for your breakdowns guys! Unfortunately it looks like I'll be taking a pass this year, very disappointing to see another sub-par Need for Speed. It's been ages since I've been excited for a game in the series, hope the next one will be stronger. The Run seems to have failed in all aspects, it...

Re: The Run minimum PC system requirements

I don't really know much about PC hardware so I can't see the harshness of the requirements like someone who does. However, I will say that it's to be expected from an engine like Frostbite 2. You're right. Frostbite 2 is a powerful game engine, so nobody could expect low minimum requirements for t...

Re: The Run Run For Your Life trailer

I don't know, I have my doubts for sure but I'm a bit more positive. I think it's a game that needs to be played before you really know if it's any good or not, so time will tell :) Just wish they would show more gameplay than cinematics!

Yeah, well what I was getting at was that regardless of the quality of the story, the stories all (or mostly) had these female 'attractions'. I don't think it's impossible for a good story in a Need for Speed game, I could even be possible in The Run, but of course chances are low. I just don't thin...
