Need For Speed Payback General Discussion

[Einjzmolf]

Indeed, we're just in a lull of hype because everyone's waiting for gamescom.

The train should pick up speed as trailers and more info start dropping.

Next BOTW is up on EA's site:

I can't stand the wrap, but I'm all for showing us more stuff.

 

[Sage Ages]

They've finally shown some new wheels at least.

 

[Bandit1]

First time they've showed the Evo for this game right?

 

[DurWinning]

First time they've showed the Evo for this game right?

As a matter of fact, yes.

Need for Speed's social media just posted a short video/GIF of something to be revealed on Monday. Link to the tweet and my thoughts in the spoiler below:

Looks like they're toughening up the police response this time round. Though I must admit, when they said Rhinos, I thought that meant they'd be throwing a Ford Interceptor Utility at your face. But nope, that'll be the SWAT team...

That SWAT Truck from Most Wanted 2012 though. I remember having a hard time trying to take it down even with a fully modded Ford Raptor/Land Rover Evoque.

[CleanCut]

Man that EVO IX is sick!! And excited about SWAT

 

[jus1029]

Did I just spot a Mercury Cougar?!

 

[Bandit1]

Yep! Definitely a Cougar. Glad to see more classic muscle this time around. Fingers crossed for a 77-79 Trans Am!

 

[Firehound427]

Whew... Corvettes, armored SWAT trucks and EMPs. Looks like these cops are NOT going to be pushovers like the Ventura Bay PD...

 

[FT-1]

So the trailer included a BMW being driven by the protagonist, Corvette police cars and large vehicles called rhinos? Hmm... Nope, can't see any correlation to an earlier instalment in the Need For Speed franchise.

 

[Sage Ages]

That Rhino is a lot bigger than the SWAT van from MW2012.

 

[CleanCut]

So the trailer included a HOVER CAR being driven by the protagonist, Corvette police cars and large vehicles called rhinos? Hmm... Nope, can't see any correlation to an earlier instalment in the Need For Speed franchise.

Fixed it for you FT-1

I'm a fan but even I couldn't help but notice how drifty the BMW was. Didn't like it... just seemed... off somehow.

But man, the trailer overall was awesome! And a Mercury Cougar!!

 

[torque99]

These graphics look (4K) good in these trailers, The lighting and the scenery detail is great. I wonder if it is on PC or PS4Pro/Xbox One. I still haven't pre-ordered yet but I will do soon looking at these. That M5 looks great 👍

 

[C_Raccoon23]

I'm so over these trailers now. Fortunately, we are supposed to see actual gameplay tomorrow, according to the NFS reddit.

 

[Dan]

Oh man! An M5?! Instantly pre-ordered!

 

[Sage Ages]

Wasn't the M5 leaked forever ago?


@Dan is being sarcastic, isn't he?

It would take way more than an M5 for me to be remotely excited for this game.

 

[helvetica bold]

We will see actual gameplay this week? Enough of the in engine cinematics.

 

[Sage Ages]

I heard they're showing something tomorrow.

Just hoping that it isn't another boring scripted mission.

 

[Apple Slipper]

For anyone wanting to recap on Need For Speed Payback at Gamescom, this video also shows the debut of the 2018 BMW M5 F90!

 

[Bandit1]

Some racing gameplay with the BMW M5

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Hm, not bad. The player actually seemed to have control of the car the entire time, unlike in NFS 2015, where the game bizzarely tried to fight you for control. Still, I want to see what racing is like in environments with tighter corners like in the city area, not just these long stretches of road and wide turns.

And of course, impressions on the full game will be the deciding factor for me.

 

[Stephan]

I watched BlackPanthaa's gameplay and judging from what I've seen, the physics now look like Rivals.

For me that's a good thing. Much better than 2015. Plus I don't see "crabwalking".

 

[MXH]

Looks surprisingly decent although I'm still not a fan of how the car behaves. I wish they'd move on from the whole 'tap-to-drift' physics.
