All you've done since the trailer dropped is complain about the game like they showed us everything and parrot off the Forza feature list like a bad Turn10 ad. The presentation let the game and our expectations down because there was too little time to cram in all the little things (even though EA found the time to let some soccer player on stage to give his life story later on in the conference). The thing is we know very little more than we did before the conference. There was no mention of any social media anything unless you mean that fake tweet at the end of the race (looks to me like a replacement for the SMS), they didn't show any more customization than we had already seen so we can't judge that till we see more, and supposedly the camera and super drift stuff can be changed. You say your passionate but it seems like you've doomed it to failure because of a crappy showing at E3 (when, let's be honest, Forza's presentation was just as bad).
1) All i've done is speak good about a company that claims to do things and listen and respect it's fans, to a poor level of degree thus far, and fall down at key points.
2) Bad turn 10 ad? Turn 10 barely needs 10% of the praise or justification I gave it for it be the better developer all round, more focused on community, making a good game, giving us great cars with the recent FH2 complete list and so much more.
I agree with your points, and that IS MY POINT. They are supposed to be rebooting this franchise...and they give the gabe a 80 second trailer which just shows a bunch of story elements and a 4 minute trailer that barely shows of customization and the worst example race to pick possible with the drift battle thing, and show off that motion sickening camera no one will ever use.
Also, there has been plenty of mention of social media features. The game is always online, everything you do is connected and with that involving friends and reputation and they even influence the story mode, leadereboards, crew points and more. The game is going to be heavily social, kinda like the crew, but not an MMO.
Indeed, again my point, those 4 minutes should of JUST been focused on customization with the way they bigged it up as the main selling point of the game overall.
I am passionate, and I've not doomed it to failure at all, you all seem to of missed the "i am willing to be proven wrong" points in my posts,
I AM, 100% ready for it, but in over 6 years now of NFS games i've never seen that happen, is this the time for change? I hope so, I really really do.
Forza's information they released after was superb, and told us everything we, well, for me, wanted to know about the game, features, tech, cars, tracks and all sorts. I know that'll be fantastic because i've enjoyed every single forza game released. Back in the day, I enjoyed Nfs1/2/HS/HP2/Porche Unleashed, Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted, Carbon and even a bit of undercover even though it fell downhill.
I'm and AVID NFS fan, but all these modern reps so far have just been very very average overated games, that's just my two cents.
Anyway, this is all I'll say until I know more, no point repeating my self. Until I'm proven wrong or something major or signifiant happens, I don't feel the need to comment more.
