The demo looked like crap. Burnout paradise looks better IMHO. Oh and when it comes to multiplat racers, Midnight club has that on lock. Doesn't come close to games like Motorstorm or Forza, but open world racing belongs to Rockstar, Criterion were on the right track, but the last NFS was underwhelming. Especially considering how good Burnout was.

I was just about to make a comparison with this [nfs: run] and midnight club: la lol. i doubt this game will look/run better than midnight club. man i still play that game from time to time. i cant wait for the next midnight club. wait why was i here for again...? i completely dazed off to midnight club

The demo not only looked like ass but played like ass as well. A ton of screen tearing and uneven frame rate. This isn't even a rental for me and racing is my favorite genre.

gravemaker5000d ago

it looks shitty on consoles. Gotta see it on pc

lochdoun4999d ago

This is a shitty use of Frostbite 2.0.
The game looks worse than NFS: Hot Purusit.
How is that possible???

spicelicka4999d ago (Edited 4999d ago )

Is it me or does the frostbite engine make everything shiny in this game look glary and muddy. I saw little to no reflections on the cars, and ones that are there are only noticeable up close at an angle, there's also this weird white glow around them which makes it look blurry.

I don't know what it is, but i notice it in battlefield as well.

banditscout4999d ago

Agreed. The demo looks waaaaay worse than hot pursuit did. Not sure what's going on over there at EA.

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.

OnlyThoseOnTheFence2153d ago

High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.

steven83r2153d ago

Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.

CYALTR2152d ago

He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"

From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.

Plenty of them that does VO for video games and animated films like batman movies.

Huh, didn't know Steve Carrell did video games. That feels just so weird. Already knew Magneto was in Fable 3, but it took me a while to place him.
