MR,NILSSON if you have powerful vision then take NFS back to its glory days of street racing,circuit,sprint racing. leave auto-log,all drive,burnout engine crap out and you'll have a WINNER
if not you'll be another studio dumped like criterion games.

help us blackbox-kenobi your our ONLY hope.

Their Powerful vision was to copy last years game and 2011's game and put them on a new map

Retroman4299d ago (Edited 4299d ago )

well, steve

dont look like thats going to happen. if anything they should have had advice from BLACKBOX STUDIO or EA CANADA.
dont get me wrong graphic's are Kool but the game-play engine is horrible remind me again of burnout. that is killing NFS franchise at the moment. who want to feel like they playing burnout??? in need for speed?? would not want to feel like FORZA while playing GT6

steve30x4299d ago

My prtoblem is that the last two games were almost identical with just a different map and NFS rivals is the same. We havent had a decent NFS since Underground 2.

Retroman4299d ago (Edited 4299d ago )

you got it STEVE. last 2 was the same "identical" with slap on environment and im sure RIVAL be just like criterions 2 attempts another failure.
i dont know any of my friends including myself wanting someone in japan or hawaii jumping into our private race. hope rival at lease have offline single player mode.

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.

OnlyThoseOnTheFence2138d 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.

steven83r2138d 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.

CYALTR2137d 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"

Retroman2138d ago (Edited 2138d ago )

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.
