they mean back to the old ones like the time before ned cars and flashy graphics nad crap racing

before they added all that crap like modding cards with nos and crap liek that

back to when it was on the pc and PS1 back to the old realistic but at the same time a more arcadish drive

i hated the recent need for speed sure underground one was different but the rest including its sequal just flashy and crap

its like how burnout went from uber in 1 and 2 to crap in the rest of the games

AI better be good in this next NFS, and it better feel realistic to drive not just like your driving a block.

While arcade style drivign games are fun like Sega Rally, NFS has gotten to dumb.

NFS is a shadow of its former self it sold its soul to get more in line with the average or hardly plays gamer, those typical PS2 owners. It went from a decent racing game to a flashy and lifeless series of car moding games.

I like the customizing... Driving stock cars is cool and all but I like to make it my own, personalize things.

the beauty of NFS:UG2 and MW was the customising and free roam, UG2 had the outrun races on the side, and MW had cop chases (which were LOADS of fun!) ...this is the route they need to take, if theyve already had a winning formula then stick with it!

mind you i really like the look of that porsche *drools*

NFS Undercover does look like loads of fun but I'm not going to keep my hopes up.

NFSMW is my favortie out of the series but it doesn't play smooth enough.
I enjoyed Carbon because I never had a issue with the perfomance.
Only niggle was the random CTD when looking through the cars.

Agreed. 100% For me:

Most Wanted
Underground 2
Porsche Challenge (Not many will agree with that)
Carbon
Underground
That piss poor excuse for a street racing game: Pro 'Street'

one of the things i most liked about most wanted and carbon was the cut scenes, some of the smartest cut-scenes i seen in ages! and the intro's each character gets..very very cool!

also undercover HAS to have a fit girl..il be disappointed if it doesnt. mia from most wanted was F.I.N.E. lol ...we need a poll :p

yeah im not sure how most wanted played never played it but imma have to say the best NFS game after 2000 was NFS Carbon, i play it still on the X-box, but i would love to see this game go back to the streets with a free roam, because thats why prostreet sucked to be... even though i liked the drag races running from the cops is like a must from NFS anymore

hopefully they bring the 3000GT back sometime...

i would like to see it, but i would do with out as long as they bring in the Chevelle in... 1972 Chevelle SS, sexy ass car

I just got it and am playing it. It's quite fun. Kinda like hot pursuit + carbon mixed together with newer cars. There a Bugatti Veyron folder :D

Anyway. There is no Crossfire X support at the moment and i'm only getting like 25-45fps with the E8500 @ 4300 and 2 x 4870's at 1680x1050 all maxed out, 6x AA. 8.11 Catalysts show that it's only using one card so that's a real shame :(

Hope ATI get a hotfix or some new drivers out to make this puppy fly.
