It's the age of streamlining, making a quick buck. Putting years of effort into a games development, is pretty much over.
So unless a developer steps up that wants to make a great, immersive, open world racing game, this genre will continue getting half baked cash-grab games.
Personally, I don't see any current Developers (EA - Ubisoft - Playground Games) doing this.
Yeah I realize that it's just very disappointing.. And now with F&F crossroads... I'm just like damn you gotta be joking me right? When it was said that Slightly mad was behind it. I was thinking hell yeah these guys get it, but apparently not.. If they were smart they would have takin us bad to to beginning and made it a cross between Midnight club and nfs😆 but no....
I forgot all about them. Yea, Slightly Mad Studios is also on my list. They made a decent sim, but depend way too much on rubber-banding to create difficulty, pretty much like the Developers mentioned in my above post. So nope, I'm not surprised by that at all.
I took a look at the Fast and Furious game by Slightly Mad Studios on YouTube. To put it bluntly, IMO, it'll be a cash-grab. I certainly won't be buying it.
The first TDU was absolutely epic. No crappy background story, just explore, race and collect cars.
