Need for Speed’s Reboot to return to its underground roots

The way NFS was always meant to be.

See, I really really enjoyed Shift, and didn't like the "Underground" genre. Maybe that's just because of the nostalgia of playing original NFS...anyone remember how you could go and sit in some of the cars in the showroom with the "3d" imagery of the interior?? And the Lambo getting 202mph on the one straight, if dont hit any cars.....good times...

Awesome, haven't really played a NFS game properly since the 2 underground games, glad its going back to it.

True story, Nfs 3 to 5 allowed you to do that, the last of the true need for speed titles, the underground games where utter schitte cashing in on the F&F generation and

i would rather play a game with variable scenery like this







than one that looks like this (need for speed was always about exotic cars in exotic locations, not this tuner schitte below)

there's a reason why aeroplane wings on the back and tacky vinyls on the side died out so quickly in the real world tuner generation

Need for Speed: The Run has variable scenery.

the original 6 NFS games up to hot pursuit II

Most wanted was pretty good, and a return of exotic cars. most wanted also had a pretty varied map

carbon was a ok, pro street looked good but handled crap, undercover was a collosal handling and graphical failure.

the 1st shift game was really good, it was like a breath of fresh air, it was ten times better than blackbox ever did during the prior years

Shift 2 looked impressive but the handling was a bit too loose and disjointed, sales also sucked thats why a shift 3 was never made (technically project cars is shift 3 since it uses an evolution of that engine)

Hot Pursuit 2010 was extremely impressive, probably the best of the 3rd wave nfs titles

THe run looked good but failed in the gameplay department and with its schitty sticky ai

most wanted reboot looked stunning at times, pity it didnt sell so well

rivals looked good but a game that cant pause, seriously ?

I agree with most of what you say but cannot comment on the titles I have not yet played (Hot Pursuit 2010, Rivals and Shift 2).

I pretty much avoided Pro Street and Undercover.

Damn Dohc, you just broke my heart with your hateful belligerence towards NFS Underground- I had so many fond memories of that game! xD

YAY! Finally.. something the majority of us have been waiting for SO LONG!
