Seem like even EA is catching on with the "Go Green, Recycle!" campaign. Isn't life grand folks?

Cheers!

I agree with this, people want old school NFS, but it will never be like that,, ever. The simple fact is that without customization and freeroam (what the majority of the consumer want) the game will be "dead" to any new fans. All the fan boys wanting to see Hot Pursuit 3, sorry its not going to happen. EA have too much to lose, as if they haven't lost enough already.Nitrodemon McLaren wrote:No parts means no customization. No free roam takes away the fun, IMO.


Because they're Hot Pursuit fanboys and any game after HP2 sucks to them. I'm betting they also think that just because tuners are inferior to exotics in terms of speed, that exotics are the only deserving car class in NFS. So not only are they being exotic twatwaffles in this case, they're also being nostalgia fanboys as well. Well, let me say this, if EA does cave in and go to the NFS of days past, scrap the customization and tuners, keeping only high-powered cars, and the gameplay STILL blows, that'll be the blatant end of NFS.Nitrodemon McLaren wrote:You call drift, police and free roam and parts "fail that EA has provided us for the last few years"?t3ice wrote:Not quite..all the things on the picture are meant to be the fails that EA has provided us for the last few years..- Rx7 - wrote:i win

I really want drift racing as long as it's not like the one in Carbon.
No police? Dang.
Unless you meant body kits, spoilers and stuff and the how they're badly designed. But seriously, why the heck are Underground, Underground 2 and Most Wanted on that list?


Dont be a bigot when you are trying to point out flaws in the bigots them selves. If you can think for yourself, most of us "Exotic Fanboys" play Test Drive Unlimited, Racing sims, or Project Gotham, or anything that has to do with cars. If anything is true it shows us how narrow minded the new NFS games truly are. They try to please two crowds while not really doing either successfully. The new vision (bush policies? wtf?) of tuner cars is great, as they are the only developer to pull it off this well, but I think this trend of six games in a row and not too much to show for is just pitiful.KammyworldRacerGT4 wrote: One things for sure, EA has the right to make an NFS in their vision, just as much as we have the right to buy them or not. Don't like the game, don't buy it. "But no, that would make too much sense. We have to bash the game instead of just ignoring it if it is, by any chance, bad." I'll say this right now, the new games (2/3 of them I've played, anyway) are just as good as the old ones. Hell, in honesty, I like UG1-MW better than most of the old ones (the only exception is NFS3), and no, it has nothing to do with the fact that tuners are in those games.
Gameplay over ALL ELSE (and we all have opinions on games), people, which is what IGN and those IGN/nostalgia/exotic fanboys can't seem to understand.
You cannot please the New age NFS fanboys (kammy and elie8) and the old school fans of the first era of nfs games (most of us).Nitrodemon McLaren wrote:Lol, yeah. I personally find it annoying how all these "nostalgia fanboys" are still here to make fun of the NFS series. I mean, sure the classics were awesome but Underground, U2 and MW were also great games. I understand about Carbon [to an extent], ProStreet and Undercover [again, to an extent, frame rate and graphics are main issues IMO].
It will be like this; EA gives them what they want, a modernized High Stakes-style game exempt from vehicle customization or police, resulting in as you said, the total downfall of NFS. Then they'll all go complaining "No police or customization? Can't EA do anything right?"...
These arent All fails. These are reasons why for the past 6 or 7 years, you have been conned into buying the exact same game with different bells and whistles.Nitrodemon McLaren wrote: You call drift, police and free roam and parts "fail that EA has provided us for the last few years"?

So... I'm a fanboy because I like the new games more, even when I've played NFS3 and Porsche Unleashed, correct? That makes sense... as does EA's marketing plans (ahem... total sarcasm).korge wrote:You cannot please the New age NFS fanboys (kammy and elie8) and the old school fans of the first era of nfs games (most of us).Nitrodemon McLaren wrote:Lol, yeah.

I poke fun at this series because after Underground 1, I started to notice a trend (back when I was 15 i think) and I KNEW this is where the series was headed. I constantly pointed out marketing tricks and schemes and the total dump on the past NFS series after UG1. I hated it even though UG1 was a great game. However after that, I lost total respect for this series. Honestly, you cannot believe you are spending full price on a constant annual series that offers nothing more than more advertisements?
Check yourself before laying blame to the NFS hatrs out there. Maybe we actually have a point to make.
Just gotta reply to this. It's a poorly kept secret that I'm a huge fan of NFS Porsche, but I'm gonna tell a little story behind my love (it is actually love, yeah) for the game.KammyworldRacerGT4 wrote:I've played NFS3 and Porsche Unleashed and every game after Underground 1 (with the exception of Undercover). Although, yes, Hot Pursuit and Porsche Unleashed were good games, there may have been the possibility that I was - hmm, let me take a wild guess, I may be off on this one - NOT A BIG NFS FAN AT THE TIME, PERHAPS?! Then in December 2003 came Underground 1, and that was a great game. Inferior to Hot Pursuit, superior to Porsche Unleashed. That's what gave me a ticket to the NFS fandom although I didn't come here until July of 2007.


Korge, you've hit the entire core of EA's problems with that statement right there. However, looking at the "tuners versus exotics" thread, and just by looking at Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, the compromise is right in front of everyone.korge wrote:You cannot please the New age NFS fanboys (kammy and elie8) and the old school fans of the first era of nfs games (most of us).


Actually, that was a decent point; muscle cars shouldn't be neglected, even though they're pretty hard to create tuning for in comparison to most Japanese cars - at least performance tuning, as usually older muscle cars do not have bumper kits.KammyworldRacerGT4 wrote:May as well not forget the muscle cars, too... but that's just me...
Okay, that was just flaming. Please, understand that the name was (hopefully) intended in the spirit of a friendly joke, and far less extreme than actually taking action on you for flaming and stuff.KammyworldRacerGT4 wrote:Oh, wait, I'm a "NEW AGE FANBOI" so my opinion only amounts to the usefulness OF A DEAD MOUSE!
