Popular Post TheGameCapsule Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 How do you mess up Need for Speed? Its fast cars and street racing -- and it begins with a story with 3 uninteresting characters you will not be emotionally invested in. These games don't need stories. But wait theres more. Missions are laid out like chores. "Drive home." " Drive to destination." Lol what is this? They need to remaster Most Wanted because Need for Speed is lost. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xDerErnst Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 After the absolute travesty that was rivals I never bothered about playing a need for speed game ever again. What I heard from my friends, reviewers and partially my own experience the newer need for speed games are rarely worth spending time for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infected Elite Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 last need for speed i played was Hot Pursuit in 1998 on PC. I kinda want to try the newer ones but out of the ones on ps4 how would you guys rank them? i think i have 3 of them from Plus through the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payback isn’t the newest entry. You act like it is probably because you haven’t played a NFS game that wasn’t free in the last few years. NFS Heat, 11/2019, was shockingly good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneezin-- Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think this is the first game I didn't even bother claiming through PS+. I usually claim everything, even if I know I'll never play it. But this one... no thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eraezr Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 2 hours ago, TheGameCapsule said: These games don't need stories. That's not strictly true. The series' soft reboot was inspired by the first Fast and Furious movie, which approximates itself as a street racer story with an operatic feel. As a result, some of the best games in the series ended up being Most Wanted (PS2) and Carbon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wolvieware Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I’ve played it for about a couple of hours now and it’s growing on me actually. I don’t think it’s that bad. I’ve been doing the off roading section which was pretty fun and getting the hang of upgrading the car with those speed cards which is a bit weird of doing upgrades but I’m getting used to it. I last played NFS 2015 which I quite enjoyed too so I’m starting to think maybe NFS has a bit of an unnecessarily bad name. Ok they aren’t classics but they aren’t exactly bad either.

SSenpai_I Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 My favorite NFS games were back in the days of Underground 2 and Carbon. Those were the times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the beginning I couldn't get away from them but as you progress you learn the roads. The races, open world and day night theme were amazing. hope some DLC gets released so I can return to it.

Miles-MHunter Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I loved payback, never got why it is so hated. Heat on the other hand was really boring, had to force myself to platinum it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this game will never win any awards, I thought this game received too much flack for what it is. It a fun arcade racer that knows what it is. I didn't find the roulette as invasive as people made it out to be, quite frankly, I hardly used the parts dealer. Need for Speed Heat was good as well (I'm glad they did the day/night - the day could of been more professional driven) but the reboot Need for Speed (2015) was by far the best modern NFS game. I liked the different factions - being the best at all was a cool throwback to the originals and they should of kept on this path. While these game will never be as good Carbon or Most Wanted, they are still better than the 2008 - 2013 games were. I platted Shift and Rivals but they really were bad games. Shift was good if you like sim racers but it was still to arcade driven and Rivals was a buggy pile of shit. 16 minutes ago, Miles-MHunter said: I loved payback, never got why it is so hated.

mysticmosh Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 If Need For Speed were a football team, they would be Man Utd. I've rarely seen a series receive as much flak from people who want the 'good old days' of Underground and MW back. Payback, while not the best, is both enjoyable and frustrating enough to keep playing IMO. Some of the speed runs will take a bit of doing and some of the jumps are just plain stupid, but that's ironed out with insane speed traps and drift runs. The story line is a bit pants I agree, but at the end of the day, did ANYONE really expect to be immersed in an epic tale, or did they buy it to go sideways at 150mph into oncoming traffic!?. I've played all NFS games from ps2 onwards. While I too have a bit of rose tinted glasses on when it comes to Underground, MW etc, the games that they are putting out now are just as good, if not better. I don't know if I'd want a remake of those games. I played MW recently on the 360, full of memories from yesteryear, and it hasn't held up well in my opinion. Got to no 8 on the speedlist then put it away (probably forever). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerryToxteth Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I have a question for the NFS aficionados. My only experience with the franchise on PS3 or PS4 was the Need For Speed game on PS4. I think you all refer to it as NFS (2015). Frankly, I found that game to be pretty disappointing. I didn’t find the setting very exciting (for one, it was ALWAYS at night), the story was pretty putrid and the characters were ?. Was this game an outlier in the franchise? Or will Payback be pretty similar with its setting, story, etc.? I enjoy driving games and wouldn’t mind trying NFS again, but not if it’s just like that PS4 game. Thanks for guidance you can give!

Joe Dubz Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I mean yeah, the story is trash. But who actually plays these types of games for the story?! (that was sarcasm by the way ?) I wasn't thrilled with the game at first, but now that I have put like 5 or so hours into it, it's starting to grow on me. I dunno if I enjoy it enough that I'll actually grind out the platinum, but not half bad for a free game, in my humble opinion. Not as fun as I remember NFSU being, but still enjoyable nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultraxian Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 They should remake need for speed underground 1+2. NFS games haven't really interested me since as it's mostly drive to race ,do race ,drive to garage, rinse and repeat. Not tried heat yet but friends who have it say it's really good.

totallycrushed Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Ghost games are bad in general. The handling sucks and the game is a clear ripoff of The Crew. Gotta do some other games in between while clearing this shit out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I think Payback has weaker story and characters than NFS 2015. The setting is pretty okay, but if you more or less hated 2015, I don't think you'll be fond of Payback at all either. In my personal opinion I thought 2015 was okay overall but probably better than this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonAutomates Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Won't lie, it's not the best, but I can appreciate it for what it is. Personally I liked Carbon a ton due to the overtaking feature, Underground 2 due to the customization and MW due to the cops and they essentially try to put all of that in here. Plus, since a good amount of my friends play it (even before being free) its fun beating their records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
