I'm as cynical as anyone about the NFS franchise, but I thought this preview looked promising.

Collision damage looked good
Crashes seemed to convey the right feel to them
Cars look great
Some great smoke effects!

Watch it all the way through...

Was never a fan of NFS but quite enjoyed Most Wanted.

Though Carbon was rubbish and the trailer for Pro Street doesnt do it any favours in my opinion.

spectrum48k

it was the physics that got my interest.

bob269

They are getting worse with each release, this will have to be a playable demo or game rental before comitting on a purchase.

NAF

I think it looks great , would need to play it though before I'd buy it !

Most Wanted was the best of the series. Carbon was rubbish!

wrxjay03

never bought carbon cos it looked crap, i thought most wanted was good even though it was impossible to complete.

bob269

I thought it was quite easy

wrxjay03

the interfraction things were hard as the coppers would always catch you once you had a high score

I loved NFS: Carbon on the 360. One of the few games I've completed.

Iain Young

Not tried Carbon yet, but I picked it up for a tenner last week. Seemed to be worth a punt at that price

I thought the physics in the demo video for this new game looked pretty dodgy myself. But then NFS has never been about realism...

messiah

What? 1000G?

praise indeed if you managed that...

edit - had to check - 3 achievments out of a possible 50 - you charletan

Thought that MW looked better than Carbon - the night-time setting just made the whole place look identical to me - no variety.

Bartop

They peaked with NFS Porsche Unlimited imo - brilliant game and one of the few I've been back to and completed more than once..

PeteBrant

NFS:MW was a terrible game. Horrible floaty driving

Iain Young

It was quite good fun if you just accepted it as an arcade game though

DJ Dunk

iTrader: (5)

No, just finished the game, not all the achievements

messiah

I'd doff my cap to anyone who could manage 1000G out of Carbon - some of the achievements are absolutely rediculous, they shoudl be based on skill, not pot luck.

bob269

Is that a challenge?

PeteBrant

Not for me.

I don't forgive uncontrollable messes on account of them being Arcade games.

Burnout or PGR, that's a arcade racer. NFS:MW was just plain bobbins.

IMO obv.

messiah

what? first one to 1000G?

you been trying the PGR tourney?

bob269

Yeah, i managed rank 56, an hour later rank 64, now 76

But at least for that brief moment it said i was within the qualifying time

BuRR

I loved the first Need for Speed.

Iain Young

It's not uncontrollable though. I found it quite easy to handle, especially once the cars were upgraded a bit. I really must go back and finish it...

Burnout rocks (much better than pgr)

messiah

I was 18th when I switched the box off last night - probably down into 3 figures by the time I have a look tonight...

messiah

Ditto.

Can't wait for Paradise, its gonna be...well, paradise... <ahem>
