El33tonline Hands-on Preview: Need for Speed World

El33tonline writes:

"It appears as though every gaming franchise is going MMO. Soon we will see a Fallout MMO, another Star Wars MMO and a Barbie Showjumping MMO. And why wouldn’t they? Look at the insane success of World of Warcraft. But taking a franchise online and making it a success are entirely different milestones for these projects. One of the franchises that is close to release is Need for Speed World. I recently had the opportunity to play the Beta version of the game, and came away impressed."

I always meant to check out Battlefield Heroes, but I always ended up turning back to Team Fortress 2. I guess I'm not the only one.

Yeh as far ad f2p goes the only ones I ever find myself going back to are Team Fortress 2 and Robocraft. Grow tired too quickly of everything else.

mikeslemonade3299d ago

Good news, free-to-play is bad for gamers.

HammadTheBeast3299d ago

It was hugely Pay-to-win from the little I played of it.

dirkdady3299d ago

This marks the end of f2plays ya'alls.

Just simply means EA's cash flow isn't flowing as much as they wanted. This works for sequels but can ruin certain games permanently!

I have a friend who recently picked up a PS3 (for the first time) with a bunch of games, one of them being Lord of the Rings Conquest (EA title). She was disappointed to discover that MP in Conquest doesn't work at all. Turns out the servers shut down a long time ago and as a result, MP is completely crippled on consoles (except on PC, via Tunngle).

saladthieves3299d ago

I'd say the same. I went as far as to get ready/sign up but never got around to actually playing it.

BF heros was garbage and nothing like battlefield.

NfS World closing is actually pretty surprising to me.

TXIDarkAvenger3299d ago

It actually wasn't bad for a free to play game. Probably one of the best f2p racing games I've ever played.

ocelot073299d ago

From what I heard there was a lot of cheating going on. Maybe there shutting it down due to this?

Kran3300d ago

Such a good feeling to know a game I'm still playing 3 and a half years later is still making enough money to keep going for many years yet :)

DxTrixterz3299d ago

No not Fifa World. I was enjoying it more than Fifa 15 .

Brooklynbully1233299d ago

This is one company that I wish would be gone

StrayaKNT3299d ago

Or you can just not purchase their games lol? leave it all for us to enjoy

MasterCornholio3299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

I dont wish that they were gone but in against many of their practices. Like what they did with BF4 for example or what they did with Hardline.

Just because EA gave me Plant Vs Zombies for free I still am able to disagree with them.
