Better not be. I platinumed Forza Horizon 5 on my PS5, and I like NFS games BETTER that Forza Horizon. It's too easy to get cars you'll never use in Forza. It never gives you that feeling of being chased or scared of the Police when you have a high rep score or whatever it is. NFS is better in my opinion, or at least more fun.

Deathtracker228d ago

NFS is the best racing franchise 4me.

ActualWhiteMan228d ago

NFS hasn’t been good for 20 years

lukasmain227d ago

Forza Horizon 5 is still awesomw btw,

I just found that I enjoy NFS games better. I think they're more fun

DivineHand125227d ago

I don't not agree because it has been a while since I enjoyed a Need for Speed game.

The last outstanding release they had was Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005. That game made me feel like I was a character in the older fast and furious movies.

Forza Horizon not only has more than 10x the content, it is a different type of game that brings in something fresh. It is not perfect as I think drifting and the progression path sucks in Forza Horizon but every other game mode is on point.

Respectfully, NFS has about the depth of Mario kart when it comes to their racing games over the last decade or two

There's no way that will shelve the franchise but it does need to be redefined the franchise had many a reinvention over its three plus decade lifespan with high and lows and everything in between.

It's not dead but they do need time to redefine it

jznrpg228d ago

If it isn’t live service I’d be interested in another NFS

Abnor_Mal228d ago

PS2 Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit2, best NFS game of all time.

Mroc13226d ago

Hell yeah! The controls felt off in the later versions that came after

BlaqMagiq1227d ago

All they had to do was give us remakes or remasters of NFS Underground 1 & 2.

Where the Heck is Ni No Kuni 3, Mun?

Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."

While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?

phoenixwing773d ago

I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles

shinoff2183772d ago (Edited 772d ago )

I swear they just announced a few new games.

phoenixwing772d ago

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.

Michiel1989772d ago

they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.

thorstein772d ago

Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.

It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.

Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.

The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.

Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.

goldwyncq772d ago

If you want more Oliver, just watch the movie.

nowh356d ago

i mean.. the second games gives us his clothes but thats it, what i dont understand is that if its set 100 years after the first game how the hell does mornstar exist? in the movie it showed that the wand and sword were the same weapon but we see evan was the one who forged it

shinoff2183772d ago

Fking word. I've been hoping for this for quite some time.

melons772d ago

The premium games didn't sell amazingly, right?

shinoff2183772d ago

Not to sure. They should of though. They were pretty good. I like both.

Michiel1989772d ago

yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.

Inverno772d ago

They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!

Best NFS in my personal opinion

Highstakes, Hotpursuit 2 and Underground, Mostwanted, The Run.

Rest of those titles are Junk,Crap, disappointing.
