Any Chance of new Hot Pursuit for NFS2021 or HP2010 HD for 2020?

To me Heat is disappointing. Back in March EA stated NFS is back to the root. However Heat isn't anything like the original classic era NFS.

Yeah i agree mate, Ben Walker was very misleading. When he told us that they where returning back too the roots, and personally i think that they disrespected the orginal series. When they said they celebrated the 25th anniversery, with this street racing crap Heat turned out too be with cringy story.

I'm not really surprised by this. lol

Back in July, I called it that Need For Speed's 25th anniversary doesn't mean anything and that the game could still be a failure.

Just like Jump Force celebrating Shonen Jump's 50th anniversary and that game was a failure.

The point is not the game isn't good.Even if EA polish this game more and let it be less buggy at launch.Heat is still a wrong direction for NFS.A more finished Heat means nothing to classic style fans,and certainly is different from real root style of NFS.If Rivals throw away open world/bugs/balance problem then it could be an alright HP4.Sadly thats not the case.And with NFS2015 fake reboot and rubbish HEAT(Horrible EA Trash) cementing Blackbox ultra mix as THE NEED FOR SPEED.The fate of the series isn't bright to me,if theres still any future NFS to be out

I never said NFS Heat wasn't good. I also never said NFS Heat wasn't bad either.

A game being buggy isn't the whole reason why a game is a failure. There are games out there that are very well polished that are still considered failures.

Just pointing that out.

A game could still be a failure when their respective gaming community does not like the direction the game is going.

A game could still be a failure when a game is very-well polished but has boring game mechanics (or just boring gameplay overall).

My first NFS game was NFS Underground 1. If that game didn't exist, then I wouldn't be here right now.

Sorry to say that I have nothing more to add to this when my knowledge about NFS games before NFS Underground 1 are non-existent.

@TheRealJonyExcactly most of you werent born when NFS really started in 90s, but me and GK3512and others we grewed up when NFS. Was just simple racing on tracks, yes it was illegal racing but not street racing. I loved NFS for that since we had split screen, and police chases dident had heat levels. That is something i hate from the Black Box era, High Stakes and pursuit had police cars patroling the tracks, and they worked together too bust us. Plus we dident had stupid healthbar, nor NOS all that ricer crap *. That was something i loved with NFS back in the day, they should kept the series simple like that. The tuner crap should been its own seperate spin off.

I was born in 1994, when The Need For Speed (first game) was released.

Although I couldn't play it as I was just a baby at the time. XD

I loved split screen as well with the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube era.

Split screen was a whole lot of fun when the internet wasn't mainstream yet.

Since I played mostly Black Box NFS games, I'm more accustomed to having Heat Levels in police pursuits.

Sounded like it was a lot of fun! 🙂

Well, I made a mistake on my previous post. I forgot I played two NFS games that are older than NFS Underground 1. (That's what happens when you play a whole bunch of single player games and not stick to playing only one live-service multiplayer game)

A few months ago, I played NFS 3: Hot Pursuit 1 and NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 on PC. Since the games are much older, my expectations for them are a lot lower than newer games.

I completed them both 100% and had a lot of fun playing them.

Excactly you see NFS can be fun even without story and open world racing

---

I'm not disagreeing with that.

Although adding a story and open world does enhance the game if the core gameplay is good.

If driving physics sucks, then the gameplay sucks. No amount of good story and open world will fix that.

but yeah if you were born in 1994. Then i understand why you dont have the same relationship too series like i have, because im born in 1988.

Nice to see you understand my point of view. 🙂

As I understand your point of view after playing the two Hot Pursuit games. lol

My first game was actually NFS2 SE from 1995, thats why me and a buddy had so much fun in split screen on pc. Plus in LAN mode too, yeah i know that this makes me sound very old hehe.

Lots of fun! 🙂

I know about split screen (via PS2), LAN (via PC), and Wireless LAN (via PSP).

The good old days when people mostly didn't have internet yet. (I didn't have internet until 2010 when NFS World was gonna be released as online-only NFS)

It makes me sound old too...wish I could be younger. D:

lol
