    look it dosen't matter if it looks like Forza or any of those other sim racing games as long as they do it right it will be a good game. Also you can only do street for so long until you start getting bored with it and looking for something new so stop asking for street and try this game. I like the fact that you can wreck other people a feature ive been waiting for in NFS. I like street racing in NFS and will miss the element of cop chases that add a little excitement so that part i don't like but besudes that i think this is a good move for NFS. NFS RULES!!!

    BRING BACK HOT PURSUIT! BRING BACK HOT PURSUIT! BRING BACK HOT PURSUIT! Please, bring back hot pursuit, EA. It`s been 5 years of this bull. Make interesting tracks, like you used too back in late 90`s and early 2000`s. Underground 1 was perhaps your peak. Most wanted was good for me. Not for some though. Please EA go back to your roots and bring back NFS. If i wanted another race sim I`d just buy Forza 3

    the damage doesn't look to good cause no wai would that car bonet be hardly dented in a crash at that speed, but i guess its still along ways away for it to be released so work on it!

  • m3t9m

    kind of awesome but i wish that its not like pro street (boring)

  • rccars411

    30 seconds in... the car would have been retired for the day. This aint a sim, looks to be arcade driving with sim graphics.

  • xxxXxXomarXxXxx

    looks Nice.. but I Hope its not boring Like Pro street.

  • RudeAce

    Posted Jun 9, 2009 1:03 pm PT

    i got mixed emotions on this game. hp 1 and 2 did bring me into the nfs games but i got used to the street racing aspect like underground.as long as its not pro street i'll b good.

  • RudeAce

    Posted Jun 9, 2009 12:52 pm PT

    damn check da acceleration and braking on that thing wat car is that lol

  • maxgoh

    Posted Jun 9, 2009 4:46 am PT

    it's just the demo... if this final release game is exactly same graphics quality and stable framerates... I think sony have to waste more time to improve GT5 graphics.

  • Semuss

    Posted Jun 7, 2009 10:06 pm PT

    Car is taking speed to fast! They should make acceleration more realistic.

  • Microwin

    Posted Jun 5, 2009 6:26 pm PT

    Lord!! If I could have a car that accelerates that fast, I'd make tons of money street racing! If it didn't kill me first, like it did that guy at the end.

    it looks like they finally did somthing right. hope they have drag racing
    hmm...I think GT has a little competition this year
    I think when I heard the sound of the car screaming
    i nearly j*i*z*z*e*d in my pants. I wish my car sounded like that!

    looks like some of it came from GTR, but it looks cool.

  • Wise-Men

    This would be fun with the MS wheel.

  • lincer556

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 11:09 am PT

    I think is a GRID copy...
    Even if i dislike GRID i think Grid is better..

  • mooch35

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 10:11 am PT

    To bebull1: I hope you're right. I'm so sick of all these so called "racing" games when they're nothing but arcade style wanna be's of racing. If it's similar to GTR 2, then it has my vote. Looks cool, but looks can be deceiving....

  • bebull1

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 9:09 am PT

    UNBELIEVABLE. !!!! hope its not gonna be easy like more racin games

  • CPTvlaming

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 9:04 am PT

    I think saddla is right they need to make nfs u3 if i want to race on tracks I prefer dtm race driver because you can tune your cars handling. btw do you have damge here?!

  • Saddla

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 6:45 am PT

    This looks really good. Really good as forza, GT, grid & all them other circuit racers....i think NFS needed to make an underground 3....if u check it most ppl started to complain abt NFS after underground 2...i think the thought of having a underground 3 would jus let ppl buy it & it wud b different from the other car games coming out. Let grid, forza 3 & GT compete with each other....JUS BE DIFFERENT....PPL WANNA GO BACK TO THEM STREET RACING DAYS. DRAG RACING & ESCAPING THE 5'0S....THAT'S WAT WE WANT!!!

  • dth_dlr

    Posted Jun 3, 2009 4:45 am PT

    it looks okay, but i highly doubt it can compete with forza 3.

    They're gonna get molested by the other racing games coming out.

  • hotrider12

    Posted Jun 2, 2009 11:26 pm PT

    all we see here is a clone of GRID and forza 3 after viewing E3.. 09 today nothing else is new or different. except forza graphic are much better than SHIFT

    GOD!! you younger generation dont know sh't about NFS. thats why EA in this mess now asking for sh;t you dont know what your asking for. and thats why undercover came out trying to copy most wanted. besides GT5 THAT WAS MY ONLY OTHER RACING GAME i COULD TURN TO. NOW MY FAITH RELIE ON GT5 SINCE EA wont step up to the plate. I have 2 ps3's 60gb an 80 gb ready to sell both if EA dont produce need for speed hotpursuit 3 or high stakes 2 in 2010 close to grand turismo style graphic's

    My god, first everyones saying the street tuner games suck, then they want a game like MW and you get undercover then you complain more so they make something like grid and you want to go back to street tuners.... WTF! YOU DO REALISE ITS TAKEN AGES FOR THEM TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE AND ACTUALLY MAKE A RACING GAME EQUAL TO THE ORIGINAL NFS SERIES, NOW WE GOT ONE AND YOU WANT SHI**Y TUNERS BACK!?!

    I welcome shift with open arms! thankyou for listening devs!

    dude, it's not that we are bit'ching what we are asking and Im sure 90% of us on here are older than you. what we want is what make NFS what it is. no more undercover,carbon, prostreets crap. illegal cop chasing games!! what made NFS from the begining not this bullsh't shift, mostwanted, carbon, prostreets sh't

    @booty56

    I guess you forgot what NFS used to be. Its going back to its roots. The first NFS game was the first game I ever owned on the PS1. And it was one of the best racing games ever made. Its about time. BTW NFS hasn't been good since Underground. I haven't bought a racing game since Gran Turismo 3 & NFS Underground 2, that may change soon.

    Need for Speed is getting old and the way there going it needs to die while it's still (or should i say good) because im not buying this crash. ( call it what it is another need of speed game that never brings nothing new to the table).

    I like that "focus" effect when you're traveling at the near max speed (interior gets blurry, eyes focus on the road).
