I can see how the art style would be turn some fans of the series off. I'd feel that way for a few games, but imo NFS needs to do something to attract newcomers along with making things feel a bit fresh for vets. I haven't been a NFS fan since the Underground series and Most Wanted. If the gameplay is nice, I may become a fan again. I dig the art style, but that could be due to me being a fan of cell shaded art work. They should have shown more gameplay.
Talk about nostalgia. Shaolin Monks would be amazing with new tech. My only request is that they allow a bit more freedom with the camera.
The Darkness 1/2 bundled as a full remake would be a day one for me! JACKIEEEE in The Darkness voice....chills. It didn't age well, but it was an underrated game IMO. I see them choosing Bioshock before anything due to profit potential tho, which makes sense. Fingers still crossed.
