NFS Heat UI leak

First thought:

  • I am absolutely furious that they have taken the map design of payback, if they do not add the option to choose different UI, I will simply not buy this game like I did for Payback.
  •  
  • The map of Need For Speed 2015 looks like a real GPS like you have in your cars.
  •  
  • But not the maps of Payback and Heat, they look like another GTA rip-off UI, mobile-ish games (especially the location indicator, too much color constrast), it's scandalous considering how much Ghost Studio put effort to have a real racing simulation for cars.

Second thought:

  • And same anger toward 3D characters, another GTA rip-off, seriously guys, most of your anger toward latest NFS games, is they don't look like NFS MW.
  •  
  • There was real people in MW, like in NFS 2015.
  •  
  • But, I can let it go, if they give the option to switch UI from older NFS game, 2015 for me.

Third thought:

  • Speed meter …, seriously, the design of this meter is the most common design for all games and mobile games, it's just so wrong to put it in a simulation game.
  •  
  • But I can see that you have made progress from payback, you have added a little design into this monstrosity, neon shader from NFS 2015.
  •  
  • As my first thought, please give us the possibility to switch to older speed meter, the one from NFS 2015 for me 🙂

Fourth thought:

  • Take the thought process of my past thought and apply it to the other drivers/police indicator, seriously what is this *****
  • Is this game is GTA or what ?

To conclude ?

You said that you have put all things that players loved from previous NFS games and made NFS Heat with, but from my point of view, this objective isn't really completed.

    Really great constructive points! I think these are nice, definitely seeking out the right issues.

    Not to give you more to complain about, but have you seen that grey/silver sliver next to the speedometer? That's a damage meter, and if that doesn't trigger a fifth thought and some even better points about a stupid health system, then I don't know what will.

    Awesome post, completely agree with the observations.

    Thanks and yes that's true :D

    I was so focus on what I was talking about that I ignored this "thing", it's like it doesn't need to care about so much that it tell a lot of my opinion on this haha.

    Are Ghosts studio devs already played call of duty games (specially hardcore mode in infinite warfare) or what, the health bar in 2k19 is a total shame seriously, at least, do not show health bar is a minimum like Call of Duty do too

  • The fact you compared this game to GTA and called numerous UI designs "GTA Ripoffs" is completely stupid. You don't have a real argument or claim, you're bitching at literally nothing

    @JustSomePie75 

    Oh really you honestly don't think NFS Heat has similarities to GTA?

    Go do your homework again cause if you study the UI features closely you will see them close up and clearly. 

    Have a great day. 🥶

  • @BLVD69 Good point.

    Don't know about you, but I'm still rather annoyed they left an FVPD Corvette on the front cover and on literally every promotion. Pretty damn poor.

    Sorry I haven't been active on the forums by the way, I kind of gave up with the release of Heat, and since I didn't bother buying it I don't really have anything meaningful to say...

    Have a great day though, and keep putting your good ideas out there!

    Brother good to see you back.

    Hey, you're always welcome to come to share your thoughts,

    I always value your input.

    Yes, I agree with what you stated too. 

    Have a great day and have a Happy New Year 2020. 

  • @BLVD69
    Ah, thanks. Nice to see you enriching the community as ever too! Good luck in 2020.

    But I don't think I have much to say. I'm already quite pessimistic, and seeing as I don't intend to buy Heat and opted for waiting instead, there's not much to be done... I can only really hope that player health isn't here to stay, in addition to the other flaws. That said, Heat is better in some aspects than most of GHOST's "attempts."

    Honestly, I thought Payback (or Heat) would be GHOST's last chance. Yet here we are, and I guess they're back in business with plans to stay. For better, or for worse...

    Yes and I'm afraid your right Ghost Studios has another fail on their hands.

    I say the old baseball rule - "Three Strikes and your out" 

    EA has gone through so many studios for this franchise it's truly looking hopeless at best.

    It most likely best you didn't buy this game as you can clearly read the many threads of concerning player issues on a daily basis.

    You saved your self cash and a serious migraine headache from not buying the game.

    Take care and I hope you do return again to express yourself.

    I know I value you here in our community! 

    Take care my friend and have a great day.
