My buddy who played it said it is basically Horizon 3 with better graphics, full customization of the car parts, plus you get cool stories and missions. Basically he said it kills Rivals and is better than Horizon 3(which he is a fan of both those titles).
Since I am also a fan of Horizon and Rivals I think I am going to get it.
This game has the same (new era NFS's) shitty handling... so unnatural arcade... even imperfect Horizon 3 is miles ahead (im talking about the feel of the driving).
Hmm.. I just want a racing game, not a Fast&Furious movie. I sincerely miss way, way back in the day when NFS was based on physics and the spectacular crashes (for the time) were the highlight of the game. That's all I ever want from NFS, good physics engine, good balance between simulation and arcade but leaning towards simulation, good handling, and spectacular crashes. It really has changed into a completely different game.

Its been bad for along over a decade now. Even the original Underground games were just awful. People just have fond memories of it because they were young and the actual pimping out of the cars was the highlight. The actual gameplay and the handling in those games were horrendous though. It wasn't fun arcadey handling and it wasn't at all realistic either.
The only time the series shined was when Criterion made NFS Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted last gen.
I agree with spacemanjupiter above too. Bizarrely the first game, The Need For Speed, had the best crashes ever. There was weight to them and the sounds of the crash and every bounce were great too.
And why does the Frostbite engine always have rain drops sitting on the car when there isn't cloud in the sky and in the middle of a desert lol?

massive downgrades coming from the staples achieved w/ the Halo 3 sandbox/physics, with Dice/BField it should never be a trade-off, ony thing they should be trading its engine if it isnt up 3 the job (8 Weeks ago)

Halo keeps being this Sonic title bait & switch "will their next title be able to Look up par with its current gen counterparts"? Never. Even Halo 4 who was pretty good on Campaign suffered from (8 Weeks ago)

tech? I dunno, go get some insight of Activision (the good input, not the misogyny), all they COD devs make evident generation leaps tech-wise. Do they keep being the same core IP? I think so. (8 Weeks ago)

so Halo must be thet bottomb of the barrel FPS to keep its identity. Add some negligible subsurface scattering reflections or some other tech only possible now and call it the day copy/pasting the ol (8 Weeks ago)

yea but, would it be halo then? (8 Weeks ago)

engines. I mean, If you can have a PS3 Ratchet & Clanck that looks like a vaseline ps3 game, and a PS5 Ratchet&Clack that looks like a goddamn next-gen game, why can't Halo Evolve - Ugly FPS Seal™ (8 Weeks ago)
