I agree completely. I was so excited for Ea play NFS....but then I saw the gameplay....
Safe to say I am most likely not going to buy it unless the beta convinces me or they delay it to fix the handling.
I wouldn't judge a game until you have actually played it, a lot of people who are at EA Play have mentioned that the physics are greatly improved from 2015 and very close to NFS The Run which to me were really good and almost a modern version of the classics like Most Wanted, I will agree though they need to step away from the Burnout handling and focus on more realistic but at the same time not as real as Forza.
A lot of people completely dismiss this by saying, "It's an arcade racer, not a simulator" Yes, Need For Speed is an arcade racer,
BUT, arcade racers don't have to mean drifting around every turn to go faster. There are many great arcade racers of both current and previous time where grip is the fastest way to go around corners:
-ALL the Need For Speed games before 2009
-Test Drive: Unlimited 1 & 2
-Project Gotham Racing series
-Blur
-The Crew
-Driveclub
And more...
...But I personally think people should talk about more examples than just the Forza Horizon series and select Need For Speed games. Perhaps Ghost (Ghost games develop the games, EA are the publishers) will be more likely to listen if people mention more than, "FORZA HORIZON" or "UNDERGROUND" and "MOST WANTED 2005" and "CARBON" (Not to say they weren't great games)
Edit 6/13/2017: Some people have also been saying that you couldn't drift in the old Need For Speed games, at least when you're not in a dedicated drift mode with different physics. I can prove that to be false by showing you some videos:
-Drifting in Underground 2 Freeroam was fairly doable, you just had to get a powerful enough car, turn traction control off, and avoid spinning out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcqqxYxHvXc
-Drifting in Most Wanted 2005 was much more doable AND a bit more accessible. All you had to do was get a powerful car and tune it as shown in the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x2DTwxzMIY
-Drifting in Carbon Freeroam was very similar to Most Wanted 2005, but this time, the easiest way to do it is with a muscle car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrfLj8kkGuM
-According to this video, you can also drift in Prostreet Grip races: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB8g-9rDl_I
-Even Undercover allows you to drift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeX2tspkVZw
Drifting in those games is fun because it's not the fastest way of turning around a corner, so you're not forced to do it.
When you make drifting the fastest way around the corner AND make it earn you Nitrous, it takes the fun out of drifting, and punishes anyone that wants to use grip around a corner.
I don't care how easy the drifting is, as long as I can go around a corner faster without drifting.
hey all, you can turn brake to drift off just like you could in 2015, however you can now turn when you select it off and put it on grip.
You're judging a game (that hasn't even come out yet) on a 5 minute game play video. It is still in development. Chances are, it will improve as it gets further into development. This game is nothing like Burnout. I don't care what anyone says. There have been people who played the demo and liked it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. It is that simple.
all of you complaining about brake to drift, you do realize you can turn break to drift and drift stability assist off? and unlike NFS15 you can actually turn with brake to drift off according to all the people who played the game behind closed doors.
and on the topic of NFS "copying" Burnout, yeah some things are copied from burnout, but it's only the good things from burnout being brought over; ya know, it's not like Most Wanted 2012 where there were massive ramps that would launch you into outer space. really the only thing that screamed burnout to me in the gameplay trailer was the takedown camera, however, that takedown camera ONLY EXISTS IN MISSIONS and DOESNT EXIST IN RACES according to multiple sources and players who played behind closed doors. some people have a concern that there will be takedown events, but it has been confirmed that there are no Burnout style takedown missions. not only this but Ghost Games have removed the player crash camera (a Burnout feature that was in 2015) so now in PB when you crash there is NO CUTSCENE FOR YOUR CRASH.
speaking of plus sides let me list them down below.
I could probably list more bullet points as to improvements the game has made, but I think you get the point I'm trying to convey. you all are just negative nancies looking for the bad parts that you assume are in the game and most of these things you all are complaining about have no substance. such as the argument that the handling is bad. everyone who has played the game says the handling is improved. now am I going to believe you someone who hasn't played the game, or am I going to believe the people who have actually played the game? i mean come on be serious. make better arguments.
@Gramatickz Ghost Games have only made 1 and 1/2 games and working on 2 and 1/2. they didn't make the run, they didn't make most wanted 2005 they have only made half of rivals, and all of 2015. that being said people who have played it says it's handling a mix of the run and 2015 (or rivals).
