"Over the years, the Need for Speed series has been through so many iterations it's no surprise racing fans have become a little agnostic to its many-faced antics. Now that the franchise has found a new home at Ghost Games, there's hope the rebooted Need for Speed will finally capture that magic that made highlights such as Underground and the original Most Wanted so special."
The Criterion studio is focused on Battlefield and there are no short-term plans for a new title.
Fans: Need for Speed Underground 1 + 2 Remake
EA: Why no one buy our live service games???
Oh ea... Your ability to destroy everything you touch will never cease to amaze me. I guess Madden is still going but only because the people that play it are not very intelligent. That, or they're masochists that love getting screwed.
What Ea need to do remake PS1 Highstakes or PS2 Hotpursuit 2 or Underground 1 with Cop's
Players who want a similar experience to the Need for Speed games should check out the following racing titles.

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.
I wouldn't be mad at another proper Underground or Most Wanted (PS2/X360) entry though.
Replies(1)Out of 30 years Ea Canada made all PS1 versions they were New and Exciting then Blackbox Studio took over all were Fantastic.
Criterion Games took over Every last title is and was Junk including Unbound.
Well maybe Underground 1/2 , Mostwanted (BLACKBOX STUDIO) version capture the magic but it was blackbox studio Hotpursuit 2 gave it FLAVOR.
which NFS was confusing ?? the run?? yep, undercove ?? yep, criterions mostwanted?? yep, criterions hotpursuit?? yep, rivals?? yep.
I still play hot pursuit 2 weekly. The new most wanted was nothing like the old and the run was a joke.
I hated the newest need for speed games. Last one i enjoyed was the most Wanted from 2005 on Xbox 360. I'm more of a driveclub / GT type of racing gamer, but I can dig some arcade style sometimes. Unfortunately, for the past 10 years, NFS has failed to deliver. Hopefully this iteration is a move in the right direction. I know I'll be waiting for it to hit the bargain bin before I pick it up - not paying premium pricing for this franchise.
