During EA Play showcase first gameplay of Need For Speed Payback has been shown to the public. It seems to be heavily inspired by previous NFS titles developed by Ghost Games and formula started by The fast and The Furious movie series.
Let’s compare newly released gameplay footage with NFS Rivals running on PS4 Pro with Boost Mode enabled.
It seems that in case of Payback we can expect way better lightning and shadow effects alongside with much crisper details of environment. Works for me as long the gameplay will hold to be so intense as it was introduced.
NFS Rivals is getting shut down, Speedhunters is over, and this might be the end for the Need For Speed franchise
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.
Forza Horizon 5 is still awesomw btw,
I just found that I enjoy NFS games better. I think they're more fun
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
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Best NFS in my personal opinion
Highstakes, Hotpursuit 2 and Underground, Mostwanted, The Run.
Rest of those titles are Junk,Crap, disappointing.
The white-knuckle racer and supernatural horror adventure join the lineup October 6.
It goes both ways - it could be a warning against trying a subpar game. Or, like in quite a few cases media outlets docked it too many points for small imperfections. I'm also looking forward to playing Vampyr.
That's funny because I remember people talking it up when it was one of the games on game pass.
I guess what console it's on decides if it's fun or not.
On second thought, to be honest, maybe I won't try it out. Not the greatest month this month.
😭damn that had to be a slap in the for sushimama after their post on the xbox article.
Vampyr was on my radar and then i played on gamepass and it wasnt good to me but lots of people like it and its free so everyone should at least try it.
I thoroughly enjoyed Vampyr. But, lots of people have specific things they're critical of and it's not perfect at anything. So, who knows.
I like that I can try a NFS game w/o paying more than I already do per month for it. I doubt I'll like it, but, at least it's there to try.
NFS payback sucks but hey its free so give it a try you might like .
Yea i thought vampyr was pretty bad and i love vampires but i just could not find anything good about it. We need a new legacy of kain and soul reaver.
It's not a great one, I played a fair bit of it myself... It's playable is all I can really say.
I absolutely loved Vampyr. It's an underrated gem. The combat can be kind of clunky, but the story, characters, setting, abilities, and everything else is great.
Was a very good game. Just needed more a-hole NPCs that I didn't mind killing to level up.
That's the point though! They can't make it too easy to kill just anyone (unless you're just a self absorbed a-hole yourself).
"They can't make it too easy to kill just anyone"
And that isn't what I said. Come back after you actually played the game and then talk about it.
I've been wanting to play this since it launched. Never got around to it though. So this is a really nice treat.
The closest game to furious 7, and 8.
Hope the story is great, unlike that fist pump shit game last time
Fast and Furious are god awful films.
I agree with Wind about the films but might be fun to play. Crew 2 looks to be doing it better though. Picked up the first Crew on the cheap and was pleasantly surprised.
