One gaming genre I tend to overlook or ignore completely these days (other than SPURTS) is that of the VROOM VROOM kind. It’s surprising actually, seeing as I am not completely bored by cars and tend to drool over them in real life. The thing is, I used to dig racing games. The franchise that pulled me in fully years ago was Need for Speed. I played Hot Pursuit into the ground towards the end of the 90s, and then I got hooked on later iterations, Underground, and its sequel, Underground 2. I even played Carbon a little. Those later titles were fantastic; Neon lighting, sexy cars, kickass soundtracks, and TJOONING… what wasn’t to like? Then I lost interest completely – the games became a little too serious/washed out for my liking. That may all change though, as there is a new Need for Speed on the way, and it hints at being a spiritual successor to the one iteration I loved most, Underground.
EA dropped this image on the game’s official Facebook Page (via VG247):
Under normal circumstances (i.e. if you have a horrible washed out screens like I do) I would call this the worst teaser ever. Text on a plain, black image? TERRIBLE!
Thankfully, the Internet is full of smart people. Their knowledge (i.e. Photoshop brightness power) revealed the following image:
As you can see, it’s two sexy cars partaking in some casual street racing (judging by the city backdrop). Are we getting an Underground sequel? If yes, I may have to dive into the racing genre once more. I guess we’ll just have to keep an eye on the official YouTube and see what the big reveal is this Thursday.
Are you excited? CAN YOU SMELL THE BURNING RUBBER? Can you smell the real-world money you’ll have to spend on upgrade parts?

Only racing games I’ve ever really bothered touching. Carmageddon and the Underground series. XD Still, I find it increasingly hard to get excited for all these reboots, remasters and EA shenanigans in general. If it pans out to be a decent game then kudos! I’d be happy, Indeed! If not… WITCHER 3 IS UPON US BITCHES!!

I was just thinking it’s been awhile since a NFS game came out…and its unlike EA not to milk a franchise for all its worth…Hopefully it is Underground…that and Porsche Unleashed were the only ones worth playing

Remember EA caters for what they see sells and what people want….. Porche, Bugatti, Ferrari, basically all the exotic vehicles thats why we kept seeing these fancy ass car games from them.

They’ve sucked all joy out of gaming. My brain just snaps to DLC every time they open their dick traps.

Last played NFS prostreet. Haven’t touched a NFS since and most likely won’t be picking one up again. Let’s just say that if this turns out to be awesome with limited or no DLC, I’ll be very surprised.

Seem to get good reviews with some people just hating it. For me it just didn’t seem to grab my attention enough.

Some people say its a new Most Wanted, others say its a new Underground. Oh God I hope its a new Underground.
Krabby Paddy
May 19, 2015 at 14:04
Looking at the comments it would seem that a new Underground is the Most Wanted.

May 19, 2015 at 14:07
Otherwise we could always say that Paradise City was the new Underground.

I find it a bit difficult for them to remaster Most Wanted cause of how old the game is. They would have to create all new HD textures from scratch and use a whole new lighting system etc etc. Essentially making a new game. Would be awesome either way. I loved the weight of the cars in Most Wanted. The soundtrack worked so well as well. Anyway Id be extremely happy with a remastered Most Wanted, Carbon (BIG MAYBE) or Underground 3. We have loads of serious racing games out there and Underground 3 would make things so much better cause we get to do things we cant in real life…
