Always hope that any given year hits the same highs for me as good Need for Speeds of years past. For me personally, that's Underground/Underground 2, Most Wanted '05 and Criterion Hot Pursuit.

I'll keep my eye out. NFS '15 was mostly good but as others have said, the handling model wasn't enough to keep me around for long. I also really liked the absurd heist concept of the last one (clearly inspired by post-Fast Five F&F films), but it felt like it lacked polish.

Whatever happened to that extreme racing game or whatever it was? It was a few years ago that they revealed it.

No story mode this time please. Unnecessary Fluff like that is what ruined recent NFS games in my mind.

Also, No 300 kmh+ police chases in exotic hyper cars = No Buy.

Can't wait to play NEED FOR SPEED: MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS 2 (MONSTER BEVERAGE CORPORATION)

Loved seeing dudes getting high on crack cocaine, MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS (tm) and acting all crazy to the camera in the 2016 version.

Payback sucked so hard. It felt like a game for Mobile devices. Deleted it after an hour.

I would rate NFS 2015 a 6 and Rivals a 7.



So strange that a whole development team can't figure out what the fans want.

I really liked Payback, the story missions had a fast and furious vibe (which i think its great).

All I dream of is a NFSU and NFSMW (original) remaster, everything else has been ........ not as good (NFSU2 sucked, you know its true).

The prospect of another Ghost Games developed NFS is like getting a call from the dentist after a wisdom tooth removal and a root canal.

I am going through my NFS backlog these past couple of months and so far it has been pretty awful as I've basically deleted every NFS starting with 2010's Hot Pursuit after about an hour of playing them. The last NFS I've actually enjoyed was The Run (as funny as this sounds).
They can fuck right off with this filler open world garbage they've been pushing since then.
Haven't played the last two games yet though, considering that everyone said that they are awful it may go either way for me really.

Wasn't this game suppoed to be announced at last E3?
NFS 2015 was a step in the right direction, I don't know what happened next.

EA seems massively confident in this game to refuse announcing it until it's three months from release.

Do they really need to announce it? Seems like they're just taking the Madden approach here, which really isn't that surprising. Everyone knows it's coming and it'll sell well enough. Seems like since all the shit they rightfully got for the 2015 game, they aren't taking any other chances like that again.

Well, it feels weirder than Madden considering everyone hates the last two games.

Wish we could get a true Burnout Paradise successor. I think BP Remastered was a way to gauge interest, how did that sell?

NFS15 was basically that.
But the crap handling totally ruined it.
The cars look good, customisation was decent. But the rubber banding and handling is shit.

You have to either drift, or... drift. The grip setting makes the car stable but it drives like a tank, you have to slow down so much just to take a corner, its dumb.

It's been 9 years since we last had a good Need for Speed title and Ghost Games has yet to make even a decent NFS title. I'm not exactly hyped about a new game. It's a shame that Black Box was closed down.

Heat ? What an eye catching name.

NFS games are deader than dead while the corpse still being stuffed by green dollar bills.

Something in the same DNA as NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 that introduced auto log, didn't have much open world gameplay but a more focused races and missions. Give me that!
