please tell me multiplayer is better than payback...
i should hop back to NFS discord, nice to see you still around!
Hopefully this is a hybrid of burnout paradise and need for speed 2015.
A person of culture I see.

Praying for this game come out without MTX/lootboxes/season pass... The last one I played was the legendary Most Wanted (2005)... Better times... XD

With the way upgrades were handled in Payback I don't have much hope. But maybe they learned something... probably not tho.
Came to basically post this.
Open world Underground like the 2nd one with the same soul the original had and modern graphics. Add in the elements and mood MW had during daytime. Add freaking real-time weather change like most racing games out there. The other much needed changes have already been said.
Didn't they change how it was handled in Payback after the backlash? I'd already completed the game by the time they made the changes, so i'm not sure how big of an impact it had on the game as a whole. The only part of Payback's handling of it that really annoyed me was at the end of the story when you need multiple cars at a high level, so you've got to do some grinding to get there.
You know I forgot this game was revealed already. I was sitting here hoping for a new one that's more like most wanted (2005 most wanted), but I forgot it was like trying to be the fast and the furious last time I saw it. I hope all this time away has changed how it looks dramatically. I don't really like what I saw last time. That said I'm excited.
I didn't go back to see the changes either. I think I still have the disc, I should go back and check it out. They better not have upgrades handled by a glorified slot machine in the new one.
Very hard to get excited about this when they market it like this, just out of the blue they're revealing it and actually is supposed to come out this year? On the other hand, surprise me!
They let go of hundreds of marketing people earlier this year, which probably has something to do with their "less exciting" reveals being treated like this.
I imagine they cut some of these budgets across the board to gear up for next-gen as well.
I sort of lost interest when all the undergrounds were coming out. How do Carbon and Underground differ? I also enjoyed the 2012 Most Wanted.
To my knowledge, Carbon is pretty much just Most Wanted 05 at night, in a different city and with tōge races added to the mix.
Need for Speed needs some true innovation. They've been rehashing concepts about environments, cop modes, customization etc. forever and none of them ever make for a must purchase anymore like they used to all those years ago. And when they do take a gameplay risk, the rest of the game tends to suffer in some respect - More often than not the handling of the cars.
IDK what it'll take, but they're running out of soft reboots or "we're doing it different this time!"s.
That said, I'm ready to throw money at whoever puts together a good, innovative arcade racer. It's crazy how Forza basically has no competition, yet they seem to be innovating over and over.

I just want them to stop the always online/lootbox bullshit and just do a solid game for once.
Need for Speed 2015 had great customization options (even if some cars just didnt have nough parts) but I hated the handling model, race starts always felt really buggy and the alwys online was the worst idea.
Payback really improved the handling, but had to introduce lootboxes and "RPG" mechanics.
I kinda want to the do go away from the burnoit style drifty gameplay and make the cars have more grip again. But not in the awful way that 2015 gave you an option for, where the cars just behaved like fast tanks that are glued to the ground.

I need to check that out, what's the best way to play it nowadays?
I just want a game with fast and tacky modded cars, police chases, a handling model not from a zero budget racing game (see: everything past pro street), and a rewarding progression system that makes me feel like I went from 0 to king of the underground (see: test drive unlimited 2.) How does the series just keep messing up a formula that had worked in the past?

I wouldn't know, I only own a Switch and I don't have the best luck with PC ports of NFS games.
Rivals and 2015 NFS were decent. Payback on the other hand was 2 major steps backwards. I guess thats why the producer and CD left Ghost.
Hoping Ghost supports HDR w/ Frostbite this time. Anthem sucked but it looked lovely with HDR.

This will be important for them. If it's Open world (which it will be) it should be like a bigger version of MW 2005 if not HP 2 or older classic NFS and have a modernized handling model of those. My faith level is low.
leave out stories in racing games please.

I just want NFS to come back and not need to reinvent itself after every game to varying levels of success.
If this new one just apes Forza Horizon I wouldn't even mind.

Apparently this leak is true.
