Need For Speed Most Wanted released early last month to favorable reviews across all platforms. This game developed by criterion Games left a lot of people wondering what about burnout. A franchise that has made them their bread and butter should not be left out in the cold. At New York Comic Con our very own Antwand “Blackbible” Pearman got the chance to interview and ask a few of the burning questions that fans of Need For Speed would want to know.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
A pulled retailer page previously listed a November release date.
I would be excited but NFS is basically dead in the water at this point, a shell of its former self.
I want an HD remake of Black or another Black game. Burnout is another game, that.I would love for them to go back to the drawing board for. More like revenge, but in the Paradise world. Bring back the crash mode.
Burnout Crash 2...
:(
Thanks to EA, Criterion has lost their way, and can't innovate anymore. You can't tell the difference between the NFS and Burnout games now, and they've already run out of ideas, so they're only doing rehashes. I expect their first next-gen game to be titled 'Need for Hot Pursuit in Paradise'.
Probably saving it for next gen. They also need to bring back Black.
please don't do open world this time. One of the best things about older burnouts was that you could jump right from the menu into action.
Plus the indicator turns was the worst thing everr, i wanna know where i need to turn BEFORE it comes up so i can prepare for a drift angle. One wrong turn in Paradise and you had to restart the whole race.
