Stephen Totilo of Kotaku writes, "One of my happiest discoveries at E3 a couple of weeks ago was that this fall's strangely-named Need For Speed: Most Wanted could and maybe should be called Burnout Paradise 2."
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.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted debuted in 2005, with the Xbox 360 version being the first then next-generation title in the franchise.
This game was awesome! I remember reloading my save if I didn’t get the pink slip from my blacklist rival
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!
what we wanted back in the day, Burnout with licensed cars. Criterion are the DONS
I thought the same when i saw the E3 presentation, Burnout with real cars and better cop chases, Paradise was a fun game , i dont think this will be any different.
I personally think it will be the first NFS to be comparable to the old Underground series
I hope it keeps all the jumps. I know we saw one in the trailer. I don't mind if the customization isn't there- as long as it is a solid game and if it plays like burnout paradise, then that'd be awesome, because paradise was an awesome game.
they need to add "squishiness" when cars get crashed.
it seems that with this engine that's not happening(also used in NFS Hot Pursuit and NFS The Run).
Ok perfect now add a "2" or a sub text to the name to distinguish it from the original and we're good.
