[FT-1]

Here's the trailer

 

[Stephan]

Whaaa?? A Regera?

And the customization.

[GTFan24]

Wait... that's it? That's all we got to see?

 

[Stephan]

Oh no....I think hypercars are coming back.

NFS Payback looks like a Fast and Furious movie in a game.

 

[FT-1]

Some quick and possibly obscure observations:

• Drag racing is in
• Porsche's relationship with EA hasn't ended
• Scrap cars - Possible collectables around the map/barn finds?

I'm seeing a collage of the recent Fast And Furious movies, but in game form.

I don't know what else was to be expected, but there are some serious questions that need some damn good answers before I throw money in that general direction.

 

[Aphelion]

Day time. That's all I needed to know.

 

[Nico_Ble99]

To me, all this looks like F&F and The Crew mixed together, in an NFS style.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Wait... that's it? That's all we got to see?

E3 is a week away. This is just a taster...

To me, all this looks like F&F and The Crew mixed together, in an NFS style.

Don't forget the NFS style handling.

Liked the trailer. NFS and cheesy stories go hand in hand. Need to See more

Guys have a look on their pre order site.

They can't be serious on making us have to buy the deluxe edition just to get the story.

Edit: I support on what @Moglet said.

 

[Moglet]

I'm not sure about this one. I was hoping for some street racing and a similar feel to the last game but just done better, this seems more like an action movie condensed down into a game with car modification thrown in. It's almost like it could be a Fast & Furious tie-in. Still, it could be a lot of fun, I'm interested in hearing more about it at E3.

It's more likely to be just a few extra story missions, at no point are they suggesting that you won't get the story in the main game.

I don't understand why they can't just leave this REVEEENGEEEE story for Fast&Furious and make a racing game.

 

[JoGuedez]

Hoping for wheel support this time. Now looking forward to the car list and that wrecked car thingy. Looks like a fun game to me!

 

[Vinylshark]

Might wanna rename it into something like "Need for Crew: Speed & Furious" to cover everything.

 

[Nico_Ble99]

My full opinion:

First of all, it definitely looks like an interesting setting. All that action movie, Fast & Furious (4-8) like stuff, with a bit of The Crew (drag racing, offroad) mixed together... Is quite a package. I'm not entirely sure if it will pay off, for me at least. From the trailer, it doesn't feel like NFS for me. Sure, I really enjoyed Hot Pursuit and Undercover (although I was about 10 or 11 when I got NFS HP and I only played a bit of Undercover's story), but yeah. I'll see what comes up next until the release.

Uh oh...

 

[Nexus]

The pre-order page says that the Deluxe Edition gets 5 "Shipments", I wonder what those could be.

Just like what @Moglet said, could be a couple extra missions.

Microtransactions, wonky physics, and crappy story, oh my! (My predictions)

 

[silverman_GT]

Graphics are no doubt amazing. That Huayra BC

And is that dynamic ToD I see? (0:42)

 

[JoGuedez]

Microtransactions, wonky physics, and crappy story, oh my! (My predictions)

NFS never was about the physics! NFS always was about a fun and entertaining game to play (at least for me!)

I guess shipments are referring to car prizes? Maybe when you win certain races, you get a "shipment" with a car from a certain class or something.

 

[CleanCut]

Wow! Not what I was expecting, that's for sure.

It makes sense they would go this route given the popularity of the F&F franchise right now. And I've said it before... They NEEDED to do something to set the NFS franchise apart from GT and Forza to avoid comparisons that are impossible to live up to.

If customization is at least as good as 2015, and the racing is better, then I welcome the addition of an actual story!

 

[Peasantslayer]

Excited to see more of this despite the problems NFS 2015 had, I'm hoping they add pink slip races, a much larger roster of cars and more customization options per car.

 

[RaY29rus]

...deeper performance and visual customization than ever before

I think I already heard this somewhere...
