I dont think having arcade physics is bad, but Criterion has a tendency to make the physics to be really bad, as if you are driving a slot car that automatically drifts for no good reason when you turn. Generally, the cars feels very heavy and clunky, as if you are driving a 100 tonne truck. Not to forget about that annoying crash cam that they love putting.

Yup. That's what i was trying to say. The car tend to slide in every turn no matter what car your drive, it's beyond arcadey and doesn't make any sense. Maybe they thought it's cool and flashy. For Burn Out maybe it was, but for NFS it doesn't feel right.

Even Burnout doesnt do that as excessively as Criterion NFSs. I wont call it arcade, but I'll say that it is more like the game is driving the car for you.

The worst is mw2012…

Agree...and i hate less modification in nfs...prefer the old time version..

Another cold blooded title likely. City with zero population, ghost cars, ghost drivers, ghost traffic.

There is no sense of life especially in the last game. Too darn cold.

At least BlackBox's last NFS (TheRun) have something nice, but ultimately it was too short and simple (and some other technical problems).

Seriously, some good ol' characters like Mr.Cross can really be a NFS iconic star if they actually do it right...

The Run was awesome. The graphics, especially Frostbite 2 Engine. Not the best but one of the most entertaining

whenever i see surreal graphics..the oni trustable one so far is BF3...for this im not putting high hopes for it

define your old time version... lol

older NFS, from NFS 1 to NFS 6: Hot Persuit 2 also doesn't have customization. In fact, in Need For Speed 4: High Stakes, the car will only be visually upgraded only when you purchase the upgrade packs in career mode.

IMO, NFS 4 is still the second best NFS series, after Underground 2.

Jump into yr M3 GTR and just call the police because I like it

E3 Trailer is up!

the only thing that makes people flock to buy this game is due to the F12 Berlinetta. lol

Nah, they can keep the F12, I'll probably get The Crew, as it looks fun with a more passive MP system like Dark Souls. Quite like what I am seeing from that game so far, while Rivals seemed to be another bland NFS from EA.

What a waste of awesome licenses.

Same thing again. Nice multi-million roads in the middle of no where with multi-million cars drifing and with a bunch of cops that have limitless $$$ and car to wreak chasing after you, oh and stupid cops AI that bumb each other cars too when they cruising around.

Sure, that's the ORIGINAL NFS, but sometime, we need some changes of taste.

Hope it's not another The Run or the new Most Wanted...

To be honest I would rather get DriveClub (PS4 exclusive) or The Crew...

booo the gameplay sucks

Driveclub, The Crew, GT6, Forza 5 and many more. NFS is juz getting repetitive.....

The most underwhelming racing game from the E3. Feel a little bit embarrassing as well watching my childhood franchise turn into joke.

Pretty much every racing game shown on E3 is way better than NFS Rivals. EA just keep screwing up the NFS franchise.

I am actually looking forward to The Crew and GT6.

Not to mention, even a small indie game called Distance looks a lot more fun than any NFS these days.
