Here's something I don't understand. They shut down World because they didn't have the "money" to update it, fix it, keep paying for the car licenses, etc. Frankly, that makes no sense. If they didn't have the money to keep World going, the money to pay a dev team to keep it updated, new cars, content, etc, how the hell do they have "money" to pay GHOST to develop this one? On top of that, how are they paying for the car licenses now? Yet, they don't have the "money"? What would've been common sense to do, instead of bringing out this half-* thrown together game that really shouldn't have been released like it is, was completely re-did World behind the scenes. Then shut it down and introduce the new and updated World. Added more content to it. More cars, customizations, etc. Rebuilt the whole thing from the ground up from scratch. They shut World down to bring out this disappointment of a game. The only thing that's actually good about the game is the graphics, the visual customization for cars as far as vinyls and decals go, and the races, etc. Yet, it's full of bugs, like the steering issue, really * set up for online multiplayer, no car classes, no real customization for the majority of cars, a small crappy list of cars, no in-game player communication, small lobbies for like 8-10 players only, and the worst part, they are probably using the same old garbage server's from World that were made in the 1960's or something. Why they didn't set this game up like World is beyond me. Took certain aspects of World and implemented those into this one if they wanted to have an epic NFS online game. World blows this game out of the water. Hands down.
Hey @Straatford87 , I have a question I'd like you to ask someone at EA or GHOST. Someone that deals with the servers for this game. Would my Dell Poweredge 2800 that's sitting in my closet collecting dust, that was bought new when it was first manufactured by Dell, almost $10,000 spent on it with all the bells and whistles, and to this day has never been used, is it better than what the hell they're running the game on? If so, I'll rent it out to EA if they need a better server that can handle more than 8-10 players per session. lol. And sorry, it does not leave my house. I'll let them "rent" space in it. lmao.
*I took a look at Ghost's web site, am I to understand that the only games Ghost has ever made are Rivals and this one? What happened to EA? Did they get lazy? Their brains fell out? Maybe EA should call Reakktor Studios, (formerly known as Reakktor Media). They developed a bunch of games. Toxxik, which was released on Steam not too long ago. Neocron and Neocron 2, that still have active and long running multiplayer servers. Black Prophecy, which was one of the best space combat sims I ever played. Which Gamigo, whom they used to publish and host it, totally screwed Reakktor on. I mean if EA is going to use a 3rd-party developer, why not use a company with some knowledge. Either that, EA should just quit. Sell everything they have to Rockstar, Bethesda, Ubisoft. Or, they need to go back to their roots and start developing in-house themselves, like they used to.
