So there's a teaser for an E3 trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybZ5nchDm6o
...and an interview with Ghost Games that confirm that this is a reboot(?!) that goes back to the roots of the series(?...) by combining elements of Underground and Most Wanted in an open world (yeah, those are not the roots of the series).
Now don't get me wrong, I quite liked Underground and Most Wanted and I'm sure at least some of you did as well - the age group that has nostalgia for OSRS and has a modest thread on it here probably somewhat overlaps with one that has played those - and I really want this to be good (maybe I'll even get it down the line despite Origin charging me in euro for some fucking reason... INCLUDING VAT). But "robust and emotionally engaging story"? I shake my head every time I see that. Also, that unbelievably unnecessary reboot... ugh.
What do you think?

Why the fuck are they naming like the 8th game in the series just "Need for Speed"? Same with Wolfenstein and Prince of Persia, like what the fuck, why you even do this

It's a reboot. They want to differentiate their game from the old series while still keeping the title. I'm not gonna say it's the greatest idea, but it does seem to work well enough for reboots (just look at all the games/movies from the past few years)

NFS Underground 2 was the greatest; I hope they can make it true to that game, it's good to see them try to remix up the formula again after realizing it had gone stale. I think having some linear progression to the story is alright, but I feel as a overarching "robust" story could streamline it too much.

In all seriousness, I don't understand why they need a reboot of a series that never had a beginning unless they specifically refer to the Underground games.
None of the other games really had any story lines, so I don't understand why they need to "reboot" anything. Maybe it's because they can't think of any more numbers to put at the end of the title.

EA... Time for another fast&furious action movie with cars as a sidenote formula like practically every other non-sports racing game the last couple of years. Not gonna trust EA to do anything other than the safest choice for money.
Although the diversity of the cars displayed in the teaser seems promising, its probably gonna be like the crew only cars available are the cars you see in the trailers, and they all handle like rc cars with different shells.

One of the big things that I miss is how you pull over racers when playing as the police. The first NFS game I played was High Stakes, and in that game you actually had to either force the other person's car to the side of the road and pull them to a stop, or seriously crash them using your car, or spike strips or whatever else. In all the games after that it was just a health bar above the car and the more you bump it the farther the health bar goes down.
Maybe the change had something to do with multiplayer, but I liked the system that High Stakes had best.

I really hope they can live up to the nostalgic expectations I will surely have.
