Please make a sequel to Need for Speed Payback

would really like to see a sequel to Need for Speed Payback.

I especially want the story to continue from where Payback ended. The storyline involving Tyler, Mac, Jess, Lina, Marcus, Kobashi and Arkwright was left with a lot of unanswered questions. I would love to see what happened to Lina and, most importantly, what Marcus, Kobashi and Arkwright were planning after the events of Payback.

I also really like Payback's driving and drifting. I think the driving has a great arcade feel, and I would like a sequel to keep that feeling rather than completely changing the handling model.

For the next game, I would like to see:

Customization

Keep Payback's extensive visual customization.

Add engine swaps like in Need for Speed Heat.

Allow different engines to have different sounds and characteristics.

Add much more detailed exhaust and engine sound customization.

Add more turbo/supercharger options.

Add more detailed suspension, gearbox and differential tuning.

Add more wheel, tire, stance, fitment and body-kit options.

Keep the ability to create very unique builds.

Make performance upgrades more direct instead of relying entirely on Speed Cards.

I would especially like the customization to combine the best parts of Payback and Heat, while going even further. Being able to build a car visually and mechanically into something completely different would be one of the biggest reasons I would buy the game.

Police

I would also like proper free-roam police pursuits. Police should patrol the city naturally, and the player should be able to attract their attention while driving around.

I would like to see:

Roadblocks

Different police units

Police helicopters

Police attempting to use different tactics

Pursuits that can develop naturally in free roam

A proper escape system instead of simply following a checkpoint route

At the same time, traffic should not constantly fill every corner during races, especially drift events. There should be enough traffic to make the world feel alive, but enough space to actually drive.

World and multiplayer

I would also like a large open world with a strong street-racing atmosphere, night driving, car meets and proper online free roam where friends can simply drive around together, show their builds and start races or pursuits.

Overall, I would love a game that combines:

Payback's driving, drifting, atmosphere and story + Heat's deeper customization and police system + even more detailed car building.

I would absolutely buy a game like this, especially if it continued the unfinished Payback storyline.

Please consider bringing the Payback story and its characters back.
