Yeah yeah yeah yeah YEAH!!!

Classic Need For Speed baby! Beautiful countryside, awesome supercars, police with their own ridiculously expensive and awesome supercars, and no hint of Fast and Furious anywhere! I've been waiting since 2003 (NFS Underground) for this to happen.

I only hope there's a good single player mode. I don't want it to just be online only, which the trailer seemed to hint at. Racing games usually aren't that much fun as online games.

You also have no idea how hard I laughed when I saw that Bugatti Veyron cop car. Then I laughed even more when he deliberately crashed right into the back of that CCX. I mean...really? Like you're gonna ruin a million dollar car just to catch one criminal? Yeah, it's a video game, but I thought it was really funny, thinking about what the consequences would be in real life. XD

You sure about that? Because there's a lot of Need For Speed games that feel more like a Fast and Furious game than the actual licensed Fast and Furious game. xP

I've been waiting for this since 2003 also. Hot Pursuit was the best NFS formula ever.

Hmmm, I read that this game will have 200 miles of open road! So, it's going to be open world. Also it will be 3D on PC and PS3.

Link, please?

You know, I actually don't like the idea of it being open world. I think I'd rather have closed tracks. Closed courses tend to present better opportunities for a variety of settings. Yeah, you can have a big variety of settings in an open world too, but what you can do tends to be restricted by having to connect it all together.

And 200 miles of road actually isn't that big. In Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 (released in 2003), the Tokyo highway system covered almost 130 miles of road. The longest time you'd have to travel from one side of the map to the other would be about 10-15 minutes in a fast car.

Then again, Tokyo was all highway, so it's not like there were a lot of obstacles you'd have to worry about slowing down for. That helped travel time a lot. But classic NFS games tended to love high speed roads and curves too, so I do wonder it if could be the case here as well.

Criterion does Burnout, does it not? This should be an interesting game, I loved Hot Pursuit way back in the day. Good times indeed.

Um, when has NFS not been for PC? Hot Pursuit 2, Underground 1/2, Most Wanted, Carbon, etc, etc, etc have all been for PC.

True but I was dreading that it was going to be Wii exclusive earlier from that link. It's going to be boss. A Bugatti Veyron police car. I just need to make sure I don't drive it into the lake.
