Car customisation confirmed for Need for Speed Most Wanted

VVV: "One of the most frequently asked questions about Criterion's upcoming reboot of Need for Speed Most Wanted is whether or not car customistation will make it into the game. After all, obsessively modding your car was an integral part of the original Most Wanted.

We now have the answer, however, as a recent video feature by EA's own Pwned series has revealed that car customisation is indeed returning - but not as you might expect."

If I can do even half the stuff I could do in Underground 2, this will be the best Need for Speed ever!

EDIT: After reading this, I am now disappointed.

CernaML4312d ago

Yeah... customization still sounds very very lacking compared to the Underground games.

Amazingmrbrock4312d ago

I'm fully expecting this reboot to be a mash up of paradise city and most wanted. There will probably be a bit of body/ paint customization.

I do however expect a ridiculous amount of cars in compensation. Hopefully more than paradise city, although those were un licensed. It would probably be super expensive to license a hundred plus vehicles.

The NFS franchise has been on a downward slope for years IMO. They assumed they had a grip on the genre, dont get me wrong people still buy their games every year (for some unknown reason) and the games journalists give NFS good reviews. The games always lack something that used to draw me in.
I think the Forzas and GT5's are significantly better, even though slightly different with realism but still.
NFS just isnt what it was.

napalmbrainmusic4312d ago

what the hell are you talking ab out?? comparing GT5 Forza & NFS ??? Totally different types of games. I've played all NFS games and I personally think HP was the best so far, I'm pretty sure this newest offering from Criterion is going to reach sim ilar levels of Greatness !!

RockmasteR4312d ago

common!!!! we need full customization
that's what made Most wanted so damn goodddd!!!!!

KingPin4312d ago

there was a lot that made most wanted soooo damn good.

full customization
solid gameplay
"bullet-time" to avoid roadblocks.
the bus station glitch
the non cgi characters during cutscenes
the dynamic weather effects.
i think that was the only game to do open world correct as i am not a huge fan of OW games.

id buy the game even if all they did was updated the graphics of the first most wanted and added more cars.

iamgoatman4312d ago

Ah the bus station exploit, good times.

cyborg474312d ago

Its called Speed Breaker, not Bullet time.

bahabeast4312d ago

midnight club 3 dub edition was the best at customizatin and amount of cars IMO, everytime i park my car it moves up and down like itS breathing super cool.

Sainox164312d ago

So its kinda like NFS Carbon? with more tuning to your car?... I guess lol

HaHa_Ostrich4312d ago

I hope Criterion implement better car destruction model this time around. They can make crashes look spectacular, yet in Hot Pursuit all we got were some dents and scratches...

Looking Back to Two of Need for Speed's Best Games - Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit

Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."

Hotpursuit 2 was good as well.

I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
