Why are you guys ruining everything that was fun about need for speed?,no online free roam,basically no cops...I’ve been playing need for speed since I was 5,I’m 20 now and I can’t believe this is the road EA Games and Ghost went down..you guys need to step it up or your gonna lose the real need for speed fans
I bought forza horizon 3 last week, it is a lot of fun to play and with so much going on, on screen too it is very nice to look at, the game feels alive and vibrant, a lot of the races are just brilliant man. After playing that game all week I see payback gameplay on youtube yesterday and the first thing that I noticed was how lifeless and dead the enviroment seems to look, even in the city it looks almost deserted, just like nfs 2015,I see very little traffic on the roads, it looks like a deserted lifeless world.
Not every Need For Speed game had cops though? I don't see how they're absolutely essential in every single part of the game, I really don't. Just because you like wasting hours on cop chases, that doesn't mean others like it too. For example, if all I want is to get to a certain destination on the map, I don't want to get dragged into long cop chases, I just want to get there! The only real issue with cops in this game is that when you're trying to escape from them, you must follow pre-set path and hit checkpoints, that's the only silly thing I see.
As for online free roam, if it'll be possible, they'll implement it, there's no doubt about that. I've been playing NFS since third game of the series and stopped when ProStreet came out in 2007 because game went to complete * afterwards. This is one of the few NFS games I've tried since then and I love it, although I'd prefer if I wasn't forced to drift in every corner to be competitive.
All in all, you're just overreacting. Wait a few weeks and see what happens with the game, what will be in the next patch or two etc.
