[Update Suggestion] Restart the Story and Playlist Customizer

Hi guys, 

I don't know if Criterion will put this in a future update, but I have to put it up.

For one, you guys are probably well aware that Need for Speed Unbound has a really cool story, and honestly, everyone would love to replay it plenty of times, picking new cars for the classes, pick a different prologue car, play a different difficulty setting, and so on. Unfortunately, there is no way to restart the story without deleting the save file, which ALSO RESETS ONLINE PROGRESSION. Therefore, to counter that, there must be an option called "Restart the Story", which as the name implies resets the story and clears your story garage. Speed Pass rewards and rewards from Lakeshore Online like the M3 GTR for collecting the 15 Blacklist cars in Lockdown are being re-added once you get through the prologue.

For two, the soundtrack of Unbound is okay, but there are a couple of songs that I don't like, especially "In meinem Benz". I really don't want to listen to it unless I drive Rüdiger around in the Racer SOS. And if you recall, from Underground to Most Wanted 2012, every Need for Speed had an option to customize the playlist, and that's what I want back to disable that song and all other songs that I don't like.

I hope Criterion picks up on that, because for me personally, it would make the game a bit better. 

Let's hope for the best.

  • Hello @LuckyNico92,

    The game itself is late in development and I highly doubt they will ever implement the restart story option, this has been the case in the last 3 NFS games. 

    I have to agree that the option would be a good improvement.

    Best regards,

    Too bad... It would still be a neat Quality of Life improvement if all volumes are done and no new volumes are forthcoming. 

    We'll just have to wait and see. But thank you for the response. 😊

    @CrashingTiger At the very least, the story in Unbound is longer than in Heat.

    But I agree, the last Need for Speed with a really great story was Payback. Three friends on a mission to take down the House... Yeah, I wish we get something like that again.

    Doesn't mean that the story of Heat and Unbound is not good. Heat's campaign is just much shorter than Unbound's story, but I still like them both.
