Y’know what EA really needs to do to make Need For Speed fun again? Make games like they used to, or at least remaster or remake the underground series for next gen and current gen consoles. That’s Underground all the way through Carbon. I say this not because the most recent game wasn’t up to par(it wasn’t), but because when EA made that series and got seriously in touch with the tuner culture of the late 90’s and early 2000’s, they created a great series of games with an incredible continuous story.
Ever since I’d say about Pro Street is when things started going down hill. The Run I enjoyed, but I really missed freeroam. When EA tried remaking Most Wanted in 2012 with Criterion Games, they disrespected the original game immensely. Also the whole online with others thing in a racing game is better left to the Forza franchise.
I’m not trying to be a *, I’m just trying to make a point, and that point is that Need For Speed needs to go back in time a little and learn a lesson. That lesson is that gamers like illegal street racing, cops that are challenging like in most wanted and carbon, and tons of customization options like underground 2.
So my proposition is that EA remake one of or all of these games and bring themselves back to their former glory as having probably the best racing game franchise in the industry.
1. same games with a few visual improvements and maybe a few vehicle add-ins.
2. cops that aren’t overpowered but still a challenge.
3. driving mechanics that match those old games with maybe a couple small improvements. No unrealistic drifting like in Heat. No weird camera angles. Oh and I can’t forget to add this in here, NO health bar for your vehicle like the one in heat. It’s hard enough the try escaping police with roadblocks to smash through, spike strips, and helicopters that don’t go away. Adding car damage to that just makes it unrealistic to do anything fun with the cops. It just raises adrenaline and causes people to throw controllers through their TVs.
4. there is no 4. Just make the games like you used to but more polished for todays 4K gaming experience and whatnot.
- 6 years ago@royal9712 What NFS really should do is drop the F of FF trend that has been outdated for 15 years.Bring back Supercar Scenery Cop holy trinity of Cannonball Run NFS.It's been 10 years since Real Criterion forced EA to let them make HP2010.Funny how most of current NFS playerbase forget what was NFS before UG1 came and RICE/CHAV the F out of the series.Without recognition and respect to series original history NFS is doomed in next gen since there will be no replacement for EA to continue the stupid buy rush kill cycle.
