Can't wait to play this bad boy.

While the Wii U version is definitely the best console version, Most Wanter still fails in comparison to Hot Pursuit and the other games.

The overall opinion I've seen is that this game is a low quality version of Burnout Paradise. It plays the same only less fun and less to do overall.

Of course, if this your thing then go for it. I will be holding out for Project Cars and that other racing game the Wii U is suppose to get. I'm not keen on supporting EA either. They don't deserve any money from Wii U owners.

EA doesn't deserve your money however Criterion does for actually putting effort into making this port something special. Also I'm not to keen on how a simulation racing experience is going to play out on Wii U with its lack of analog triggers.

@herbs

Need For Speed is like Burnout, you really don't need to ease the gas or the break; you're either jamming one button or jamming the other. A game like Gran Turismo probably would not work with those kinds of triggers, for sure.

I'd like to try this game because it's one of the few ports from a developer who actually put in some genuine effort to not only make it work right, but took advantage of the hardware and made it look better.

Nevers0ft4068d ago

I see what you're saying but there's nothing wrong with a game being like Burnout - Burnout was awesome :)

PopRocks3594068d ago

@Neversoft

Was that in response to me? Don't get me wrong, I love the Burnout games. Revenge is one of my favorite racing games of all time. Knowing Criterion made this and that they gave it the extra effort makes me rather enthusiastic.

Looks good to me although this video is recorded low quality ive seen the game and it's a day1 for me.

MasterCornholio4067d ago (Edited 4067d ago )

Im not a huge fan of Need for Speed but i cant wait to see the next Burnout from them.

Im glad that Wii U owners got a nice port of this game.

Now prove EA (they said that Nintendo fans only buy Nintendo games) wrong and buy this game to support the developers.

Starbucks_Fan4067d ago

$30 AT THE ORIGIN STORE!!!

Not sure if it's still going on but I got it for that price. Can't wait to play it!

thezeldadoth4067d ago

Looking Back to Two of Need for Speed's Best Games - Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit

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."

Hotpursuit 2 was good as well.

The-Matrix-has-you165d ago (Edited 165d ago )

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!
