Need For Speed: Payback

I actually liked undercover wasnt the best but by far not the worst

 

Someone should make a remaster for old NFS games. That would make a lot of money.....

 

they should make a modern version of underground just drive around, race and customize your car

 

Sadly, this never saw the light of day...

Cryengine remake of NFS III.

 

I have to be honest, I like that Bel Air.


Also, why do I feel like it gives me some sort of FnF vibe? From what I picked up from the trailer, it puts me in the mind of something you'd see Dominic Toretto and his family going through.

 

There was a Forbes article about How it's Like FnF and GTA.

 

'The house always wins'

Blackjack, anyone?

 

So I'm not the only one who noticed.

 

So, after all this, we have determined this is a big melting pot of games and movies about cars released within the last few years

 

The part with the semi was a vibe from the first Fast and Furious movie, the modifications is similar to The Crew Wild Run and the whole 3-main-character-setup is similar to GTA V.

 

Because original Ideas take work.

 

Pfft, who was time to make quality work anymore, eh?

 

I know! We are popular enough that people will buy out games if it was 10 hours of a man dancing!

 

-EA executives sit around a table-
-*EA executive* we need a new game, what should we copy-
-*Newb* I just finished a GTA game-
-*EA executive* perfect, any more ideas?-
-*Newb* I saw Fate of the Furious-
-*EA executive* fantastic, now, what's a great name?-
-*Newb* uhhhhhhhhh, how bout payback?-
-*EA executive* I like that name so we'll build a trash story around it, and, where should we get our vehicals?-
-*Newb* other games, of course-
-*EA executive* sound about right, anything else this game needs-
-*Newb* more Forza-
*EA executive* yes, that's what we need, copy's from other driving games-

 

They'll manage to take the worst parts from every game, and mix it up and rebrand it as NFS.

 

If you'd asked me back in 1994 if the NFS series would still be alive in 2017 I would've said hell no. At the time I would have imagined the
awesomeness of Need For Speed 15 on some wildly powerful living room holodeck.

I commend EA for sticking to the series and I can't really blame anyone involved for what the series is today. Life marches on and the
dreaded 'marketing ghouls' have command of everything. We can hope and wish that the NFS series would remain as it was in the mid-
nineties but reality is reality. It would be real nice if EA decided to release suite of tweaked re-masters of 1 thru 3 that simply pay a salute
to the golden era with new high energy music, graphics and cars. No changes to track layout or game play elements.

That being said, I honestly think if EA tried to emulate and release a new NFS using the old school theory it would be soundly panned
as being 'shallow, weak and unimaginative"...."a totally lame cash grab that insults the intelligence of gamers worlwide".

A nasty catch 22 in todays world.

 

starting this game will be like turning on your computer, then finding out someone cheesed your drive
--- Post updated ---

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
So, you like to see them redo the old games, but you don't want them to release another game like the originals....

 

Yep, that's exactly what I said. You get a cookie!

 

Yay

 

Sounds like The Crew more than GTA
