This trailer has at least made me interested in wanting to try a demo.

Same here.

EA will milk this franchize to DEATH. (If they haven't already).

The last need for speed that I enjoyed playing was Underground 2 - and maybe Hot Pursuit. The rest didn't interest me, like Most Wanted looking too similar to Undercover. EA has pretty much stretched the series everywhere, from simulation (Shift 2) to arcade (Most Wanted).

When it comes to racing, I'm more of an arcade person and so far no Need for Speed game comes close to Criterion Games' Burnout series, like Burnout Paradise, Revenge or Takedown. That's just my opinion.

In terms of driving simulation, I prefer the Dirt series (that's as close to simulation as I can go!).

But at least Need for Speed offers something a bit different with each game. They try to change up the formula etc.

MitchellK5006d ago

I like cars and racing and all. But i just find they make too many need for speed games, and at the core they are all too simillar.

spunnups5006d ago (Edited 5006d ago )

agreed, and no matter how many NFS games they make this gen, they won't top Burnout Paradise, unless Criterion makes a sequel.

madpuppy5006d ago

blah, I want to see real gameplay, especially the on foot sequences.

I cannot get a feel for this game with these scripted videos.

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.

OnlyThoseOnTheFence2144d 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.

steven83r2144d 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.

CYALTR2143d 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.

GigawattConduit3375d ago

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.
