NFS Underground 3...I'll bet anyone anything that WILL be NFS 10.

I'm not happy but I have to face the truth.

I'd like it to be Underground w/ Police, like Most Wanted was hyped up to be ...

Keep everything good about Underground, add Police, fix the drag racing (No lanes !), and I'll be happy ...

The only thing interesting about MW is the police chases; other than that it's just another arcade racing game, IMO ...

i agree with you, and they must do the night/day transition like GTA, with cops, tuning, and a SOLID storyline for career mode. I hope Underground 3 will be the next nfs game. I GUESS, I GUEss that.

REALLY hope that you will be able to customize interior in next one. Such as roll bars, taking out seats, lightweight seats and seat brands etc. That would be really awesome. I think they should just stick to the huge amount customization thing. I mean, neon lights and spinners on my skyline isnt my thing, but I mean more performance stuff like in Grand turismo 4. Also it would be really cool if you could make like touring cars like in GT4 as well. I was just pissed that they took so much stuff out of MW customization wise.

ooh no our site is still invested by ricers aaaaaaaah run...

I'm Happy the whole underground stuff is over (for now) Underground was nice, Underground 2 was boring, it was what Underground 1 should have been but then without a storyline.

I rather see something completely diffirent, a special or something.

I doubt day and night like in GTA is a good Idea, I didn't like the whole clock in GTA, time past by way to fast it was night before you know it and day before you even notice it. a real slow transfer would be cool, but not 1 minute every second.

A wider racing game with customizing would be nice but not like in U2 where you have to rice your car to the max to be "cool".
As long as they make the parts racy so no useless spinners etc. and SUVs
And don't name it Underground 3, cause that would be uber lame!

I like what they have done in MW, mixing sportscars with exotics and some muscle, if they add more cars in the next version of all 3 classes I am happy enough, I don't like to race only civics etc. I rather have a nice mix. without the boyracer style

I'd love to hear NFS Urban World... But I know, it sounds too cliche..

Ya know... I miss the good old Need For Speed games... when EA was cool and their damn EA Trax didn't exist. I long for NFS to climb out of it's ricer rut and return to loading the games with blistering exotics. Not that I dislike the tuners, I love 'em... I just miss NFS 1, 2, and PU (that's NFS1 & 2, not NFSU1 & 2). I also really enjoyed the first Hot Pursuit, which is mostly why MW appeals to me, I think.

I would like to see the next NFS be much like MW and make evading the cops part of the game, but not focus on it so heavily... I would like to see it involve tuning and modifying, but not require it. It should have nearly unlimited possibilties for changing the appearance of your ride, but not focus on how "good" it looks, like they did in NFSU1&2, because not everyone thinks the craziest and most colorful is the best looking... i would like to see it incorporate a huge number of cars including tuners, muscle cars, exotics, SUVs, pickups, some nice sedans, and maybe a few of the little 4-bangers. And i want to see a game with a huge range of scenery and traffic, ranging from a congested, high-rise filled downtown area, to a suburban sprawl, to wide open urban country sides, to beautiful twisty stretches of forest and mountain areas (they tried to do this in MW, but i don't think the city is dense enough, or the outskirts majestic enough). And it would be cool if they could include a nice weather system with all types of weather, and the very gradual passage of time throughout each day, so you can race in the day or the night.

Basically, i want a racing game where you have a huge, wide open area with a great variety of scenery, varying weather conditions and time of day, tons of cars to choose from, online play of course, nearly limitless options for modifying so no two players will have the exact same car, cops (where they are a fact of life as a street racer, not the point to the whole game), and the ability to play as a cop. I think it would be really fun to play online as a cop or in a group of cops chasing one guy that isn't a cop, and/or a one on one pursuit mode or something. I think a cool name for a game like this that essentially blends some old NFS concepts with the newer gamplay that will also be the 10th NFS title, would be Need For Speed X (please, oh god, don't let it be Need For Speed X-treme... that would be horrid!)

I'd like to see something like Underground was but with better options for different types of cars. I complained about this before Most Wanted, and it didn't happen anyway. If I buy a Mustang in the game, I want to muscle car parts on it. Not ricer crap. I don't want a freakin wide body, a huge wing, a roof scoop and 20" wheels. Muscle car body mods are much more modest compared to tuner stuff, thats what I want to see. I'd also like to see muscle mods in the performance department. A lot of them are totally different from tuner stuff.

Same goes for exotics. Exotics use insanely expensive brand stuff, not generic tuner stuff. I'd also like to see the Speed back in "Need for Speed". No more curvy tracks, much more straight forward, almost country running stuff. Back to NFS' roots. There should be a wider range of cars, right from crappy, econo boxes to high performance, finely tuned exotic monsters and big block muscle cars. They should also have real life performance. I should NOT be able to mod a Ford Taurus and have it compete with and whip the crap out of much higher performance cars. It doesn't work like that in real life, neither should it in a game.

Yes I know, these suggestions are bordering on simulation. Still...

I agree with many of the points you guys have made: Here are some of my thoughts.

More customization in quick races: Circuits, Sprints, Drags, Drift, Knockouts, 1 on 1, and bring back the old Tournament style from NFS 2 which you could customize any of the above races for and create your own tournament.

I would like to see more differences in skill levels too, I find Most Wanted kinda hard on even easy...I don't even know why? Maybe my PC is too slow and I am finding it hard to play.

Customizable race modes with either day/night, weather like snow/fog/rain/thunder/hail, road conditions like clear/icy/snow covered etc.

Bring back the dashboard view from NFS 3 and NFS 4. Bring back better replays.

Huge assortments of cars and have them in classes like NFS 2-6. But this time instead of Class AAA, AA, A, B, etc, make it Tuner/Exotic/Civilian/Luxury/Value etc....

Lots of customization available from gay tuner things like spinners to customizable colored paint a la NFS High Stakes.

Wide open city gameplay like NFS Underground 2 but have an option where you can just auto populate the city with random race events so you can just drive around and enter them. I liked that in NFS U2 during career play but after I beat the game there was only outrun races...

Deep career mode is a must and give it some international flavor like NFS High Stakes/Porsche Unleashed. I want to see tracks in the city, country, oceanside, snow, mountains, etc!

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ALLOW CUSTOM MUSIC IMPORTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer my idea of a three game pack. One game with imports one with exotics and one with muscle cars and make them compadable with each other. That way if someone has nfs exotics and i have nfs muscle i can race him online plus you could have more cars that way. i doubt it will happen but i can always dream.

I think, the only way that would work, is if they made each game cost like 20 bucks instead of 50... so that if i wanted all 3, it would cost just more than buying a normal 50 dollar game.

Also, since the next NFS will undoubtedly be mainly on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3, it is possible that they could do some cool update or patching system, where you could either download to your HDD from the net or install to the HDD from a disk a bunch of extra content, like more cars, more modding parts, more vinyls, even a new city or region to race in. Could be cool if they could just do it on line, so that you by a full featured, finished game for whatever the nextgen games are gonna cost, then you go online and buy new car models as they create them for a few bucks more... but then, ugh, that could turn into using real money to upgrade your car instead of the ingame money, and that would be a nightmare... so it would need some kinks ironed out, but i think something like that would have potential.
