Need For Speed needs to get back on the road!

SamixCruiser · 01-02-2009, 03:32 PM

All I am saying is, Need For Speed deserve a lot better than this. It deserves everything a great game today has. Like I said, it just need tuning here and there and then, your NFS is good to go!
I'd like to tell EA about a few things on my mind about this new NFS: Shift.
Add follow things..They are my suggestions, rest is a personal choice, of course. Lol.
1. When we are out exploring a city. And we encounter another racer, if he's on one of our sides, all we got to do is to Horn and the race is supposed to start. And if the racer is in front of us, all we have got to do is to show him lights. You know what I mean?
2. A race where you have to disable more police vehicles than others to win. Let others be there two. It would be like destruction durby! And it would be a lot of fun. If not police cars, then make it civilian cars or something. Thilalalalaing will earn the player points and then the points will decide who won. It's easy, isn't it?
3. A race where you have the police vehicle and all you have got to do is to disable 5 racing cars.
4. A race where you first go to certain point, if you are there first, the second half of the race starts and then you are to deliver something to someone and then you get paid. You just park your car in a blinking circle or something.
5. A race where you run over a lot of civilians. If you crush down and kill more people, you win. Simple? Yeah and to really win, you will have to lose the cops.
6. A race where you go underwater. You just need a water-proof car. You get to buy those things and then race under water.
7. A race where you have to do the destruction thing. Survival of the fittest. It's not actually a race. It's just something you do to survive. Destroy other racers.
8. A race where you capture a flag and then try to reach the finish line before others try to disable your car and take the flag away from you. If you want to take the flag away from someone, you will have to disable their cars. In this race, there will be three teams of 3 cars each.
9. The Jumper. In the race, you will have to do the high jumps. The one with more score, of course, wins.
10. In a mission, you get a truck and you will have to deliver this certain something to somewhere. You will have to drive slowly and try not to hit anything or you will fail to mission.
That's all I have. If you don't like it and think it's stupid, then, please don't laugh at me.

umm...in case you didn't read, SHIFT is not going to be like the previous few titles, infact it is going to be a bit more like the good old pre-underground need for speed games, but from what i've saw, legal circuit races only. I think thats perfect, and the only thing i'd change..actually add is sprint (point to point) races, on mountain/desert/forrest/sea shore tracks with traffic, and possibly police (just like the first few need for speed games (nfs1-nfs6). That would not even make it more fun, since fun is the only thing lacking in strict-simulation games in my opinion, but it would also change the minds of a lot of fans out there who either:
A) miss the good old, hot pursuit/high stakes days of need for speed
or
B) Just want cops in and the ''bad boy'' feeling.

Anyhow, in case you didn't notice ''need for speed races into a new direction'', which won't anymore be car customization, and city race-only + some weird story. (thank God!! ...and EA! LOVE YOU

)

SamixCruiser · 03-02-2009, 04:55 PM

Is that so? Well. I didn't know. But I like it the way it is. I have played all the NFS' except Pro street. People scared the **** outta me so much that I didn't even touch that game. :P

ssj1-goku · 03-02-2009, 06:55 PM

hey which was the oldest nfs you've played? and how old are you?

Maxen13 · 03-02-2009, 08:29 PM

From the first post, it sounds like you really like destruction and violence... some of the ideas (taking out other racers, jumps, etc.) make me think that you should be playing Burnout Paradise instead...

As ssj has said, SHIFT will be more a legal-track racing game.

Maxen13

ssj1-goku · 03-02-2009, 08:34 PM

I completely agree with Maxen13. What you're looking for can either be found in Burnout games or in Grand Theft Auto 4. Still..I'd love to see a small tiny bit of violence in SHIFT...just to make it a bit more fun

(small and tiny = at least some cops and traffic.

Id be more than happy)

Maxen13 · 03-02-2009, 08:40 PM

It just wouldn't suit SHIFT, from what I've seen of it anyway, to have cops and the violence.
Maybe in NITRO, but I have forgotten what that one focused on...

yeah it wouldn't suit it, I know...but not much has been revealed yet, and simulation can easily be done in the way I said too...Look at The Need For Speed for example - It had both cops and traffic and 8 opponent races and closed circuit legal tracks. It was both legal and illegal in the same way, and a whole lot of fun! I believe same can be achieved now, only better if enough effort is put into it

AND fans who like cops more than simulation would enjoy this, so it would sell more too. it would basically be a simulation game hybrid...kind of - Simulation legal tracks AND Simulation/arcade illegal road racing with traffic and cops. (1 on 1; 4, 6, 8 pack races trough country roads). It would be perfect in my opinion.

TDS40 · 11-03-2009, 02:01 AM

I think the solution is very simple.

All EA needs to do is take any of the old "high rated" classics like NFS Most Wanted. Then use the exact same theme but use the latest (reliable) graphics engine and you have an instant hit.

Just think what would happen if NFS Most Wanted was re-made, and was essentially the same game, with the same top 15 blacklist racers, in the same cities, and environment, same roads, same everything,... with only a couple of changes.....

.... it's programed using the latest graphics engine (which can push at least 75fps tested),.... and cars which handle more like NFS Undercover, and cops with a little better AI.

I would buy it for top dollar. THAT'S WHAT I WANT!!!!!!!!

ssj1-goku · 11-03-2009, 10:31 AM

sorry to say this, TDS40 but undercover IS most wanted 2

Maybe they just didnt put enough effort into it. They really screwed it up. Most wanted is my all time favorite illegal-street-racing-underground+ game.Pro street would've been 1st if they didnt screw it up.

Pyronil · 16-03-2009, 07:06 PM

i think too many of nfs fans need underground back cuz last 2 nfs undercover and pro-street sucks way too much same body kits almost same cars same rims same **** sucky story line if nfs shift gonna look like undercover and pro-street it will get low rating and no1 will like to play nfs anymore so get ****ing need for speed back to life make new body parts new cars long story line

ssj1-goku · 16-03-2009, 08:28 PM

pyronil then they should just change name into need fo' nitro.

Pyronil · 18-03-2009, 12:03 AM

name isnt the problem game is

ssj1-goku · 18-03-2009, 01:32 PM

you dont get it, nevermind...

cG_Zen · 19-03-2009, 11:53 AM

This "SHIFT" game sounds awful.

And there was me thinking they couldn't do any worse...

Bring back NFS: U2!

ssj1-goku · 19-03-2009, 12:43 PM

then get nitro instead lol
