Need For Speed (2015)

To be fair on EA. They look like they done a great job on NFS.

You mean they invested in the right in-house devs. It's hard for me to credit EA when they just right the check, ya know?

Well credit to EA for signing off the check.

For how much EA is greedy, they do know how to play their cards right when it comes to developers.

You're asking that in 2015...that's more of a question for like 2008 or 09 when they started winning most hated business awards (or whenever it was)

But I think that was when John Riccitiello was the CEO of the company. Now its different.

I've seen it, and as @lxmmy said we'll have to wait and see. Cause just cause they stopped being the worst doesn't mean they're still not bad. It's too quick to jump the gun, they still do thinks like MT and what not and unless they just get rid of that forever then perhaps. Only time will tell, but we shouldn't be turning a NFS thread into a thread about the mother company.

Anyway if this game is great, we cannot base the reputation of EA just off one game.

True, but if they can make ALOT of good games in the next 2-3 years, then maybe they won't be the worst company anymore. And if they stop with the endless DLC and season passes with every release.

 

[Moglet]

And if they stop making games that are always online for no real reason. We get it, you want to be 'connected' but it also means some people can't enjoy the game. If it was like Test Drive Unlimited I could understand but even that could be played offline!

Well, the season pass for Battlefront 3 costs $70 over here, and the standard edition of the game costs $90. Do I think EA is becoming good? No.

Seriously!? $90?

 

[TiZzla]

Seriously!? $90?

That's normal, all games release here for around $100.

 

[JR98]

That's normal, all games release here for around $100.

And another $70 for the SP? I don't see why anyone would buy the season pass at that price. Only $30 less than the game itself!

Anyways, back to topic. It seems people are comparing this to The Crew: Wild Run. Is it fair?

They are both open world racing games with a focus on car customization. I say it is fair.

A full game being compared to a expansion? How about the original gameplay of The Crew to NFS2015?

Most people seem to think The Wild Run is a full game for some odd reason. I thought you were talking about The Crew as a whole.

Seems Ubisoft is taking advantage of this mentality. I heard The Crew was a bad game?

It was buggy, physics are pretty bad and looks like an old PS3 game but apart from that it was ok.

If you imagine Wild Run but replace the grip tuned cars with grip tuned blind horses with an aversion to turns, half size legs that are on backwards and infected hooves then that's fairly accurate.

I'll probably still pick it up a week or so after release

So do you think The Crew should have been a PS3 and X360 game instead make the Wild Run version a PS4/XB1 game?

If you did that, people would have complained about it being delayed, exactly like how the PC version of NFS is being delayed.

 

[Maxrevv]

So BMW have just announced the M2 today.

Let's see if EA has something to say about this.

 

[FT-1]

Mmm....

Even in stock form it looks quite extreme, I wonder if there are going to be any bodykits at all.

 

[JR98]

They did release it on X360 and the only reason they didn't release it on PS3 was because it would take too long to get it working properly. I think The Crew could've been released on PS3/X360 and then they should've released the PS4/XB1/PC versions with Wild Run.

Not sure how much it has changed since the leaked post but here is the full official soundtrack

The game's manual has been leaked:

The buggest grudge for me, is the need of internet to play the game..

The Glitch mob, the Prodigy, Spor, the chemical brothers..... The GOATS represented I see.

Edit: Netsky too, man it's just missing the M machine and kasabian and all my favorites are there.
