Dear Need for Speed Development Team,
I hope this email finds you well.
As a long-time and dedicated fan of the Need for Speed series, I'm writing to provide some constructive feedback regarding my experience with Need for Speed Heat (2019). While I genuinely appreciate many aspects of the game, there are several key features whose absence significantly impacted my overall enjoyment and, I believe, would greatly enhance future titles in the franchise.
The main points I wish to highlight are:
* Lack of an In-Car Camera View (Cockpit View): The absence of a first-person perspective from inside the car is a major drawback. This view is crucial for immersion and truly feeling the sensation of speed and control, a core element of racing games. Its inclusion would greatly enhance the driving experience.
* Inability for the Character to Exit the Car: In an open-world environment, not being able to step out of the vehicle reduces player interaction with the world. Offering the ability to explore on foot, even if limited, would add a significant layer of immersion and connection to the game world.
* Absence of Under-the-Hood Visual Upgrades and Engine Customization: We invest heavily in upgrading our car's performance parts, yet there's no visual representation of the engine or the ability to open the hood to admire the customized components. This feature would immensely enhance the car customization experience and the sense of ownership over our built machines.
* Missing Dedicated Drag Race Events: Drag racing has been a beloved staple in previous Need for Speed titles (especially Underground). The lack of dedicated drag race events in Heat feels like a missed opportunity for players who enjoy pure acceleration challenges and fine-tuning their cars for straight-line speed.
I believe incorporating these features into future Need for Speed games would elevate the series to new heights and truly resonate with the passionate fan base. Your commitment to community feedback is highly valued, and I look forward to seeing the evolution of this iconic franchise.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
