I’m liking the car porn in Need For Speed

NFS

VROOM! Much like the Fast ‘n Furious films that have inspired Need For Speed for at least a decade now, the franchise has always been about fast cars and even faster deadlines. Look good, drive quick and leave a good-looking corpse then.

This year’s Need For Speed looks like more of the same: A crew of tropes, dressed in goofy “hip” clothing (DAMN KIDS), while Johnny Law is on your tail. Of course, in order to put the pedal to the metal, you’re going to need four wheels. And an engine. And a chassis. And other stuff.

And according to the official Twitter account for the game, here’s a look at 17 specific examples of car porn:

  • BMW M3 E46
  • BMW M3 E30
  • BMW M4
  • Ford Mustang GT
  • For Mustang 1965
  • Honda S2000
  • Lamborghini Huracan
  • Lamborghini Diablo SV
  • Mazda RX7 Spirit R
  • Mitsubishi Evo MR
  • Nissan 180sx Type-X
  • Nissan Silvia Spec-R
  • Nissan Skyline GTR 1971
  • Porsche 911 GT3 RS
  • Porsche 911 Carrera RSR
  • Subaru BRZ Premium
  • Toyota Supra SZ-R

According to an hour of Top Gear that I watched last night, that’s a rather high-octane collection of revs, engine blocks and go-faster stripes. Brah. In all honesty though, I’ve always taken a simple approach to playing Need For Speed games.

Give me some proper American muscle, with enough of a heavy backend that makes it feel like trying to steer a hippo with an eating disorder, and I’ll be in heaven. Need For Speed is out on November 3 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

You suckas can wrap your mouth around my exhaust pipe and choke on it as I hurtle to the finish line, once I have the 1965 Ford Mustang listed above.

    They can keep this excuse of an NFS game.
    A game about car enthusiasm and race culture without even an option of manual transmission. What a joke.
    EA says they listen to customers, they don’t give a crap.

      I cannot play arcade racing games, not because I have oversized hands that crush console controllers, because the car won’t turn left and then you hit a wall and the bloody thing just keeps going without any visual damage and you lose the race because there is simply no f*ing way that a car can move that way past you, avoid a collision and run away with a win, and then I try steering….

        I like arcade games to wind down a bit, but with auto only it’s a joke.

          You see, I like to wind down with the idea of a racing experience, even if it’s a small step like a manual transmission, it makes you feel a little bit more in control, but playing a game where it’s pedal to the metal the whole time and steering comes in last…. Not for me thanks…

            Oh I completely agree. The arcade game I’ve recently been playing is GRID Autosport. GRID2 I cannot stand because it’s just too arcade for me.
            But I don’t play arcade games to get my racing fix in, I play it with friends as a social thing. Lots of laughs to be had. But even then, no manual transmission will not work for me. I need to do my own shifting, otherwise it’s literally just holding on and pushing a button for acceleration.
            I still want to get Assetto Corsa, but currently I only have a controller for racing, which at least gives me throttle and steer sensitivity, but I’d like a decent wheel someday.

            I bought a logitech steering wheel about ten years ago, it is still one of the best though, but I love watching other people driving racing games using that steering wheel, not only laughs, but the challenges…man… Yes, you should get one!!

        i dont mind the auto in NFS games, what i cannot abide is this new drift system, what ive seen of it sofar is ridiculous, forcing you into a scripted drift everytime, not even sure you need to steer now.
        hot pursuit and rivals werent good games, but they atleast got the easy casual drifting right in it.
        most wanted just broke the steering, so not even gna comment on that.

          I can’t even remember the last NFS game I played. I think it was on Xbox…have not been following this game at all so know nothing of the drifts, but if it is as you say then stuff them! I will not buy crap…again!

            i dunno, i wouldnt call them crap, but theyv gone as far from a racing sim as you can get.
            once you accept that they are super casual fun car games, the experience improves a bit.
            but the previous games were definitely not worth the price tag.

            Meant this one sounds crap and I have paid for crap games previously, not meant as NFS games were crap. Can’t actually remember which crap game I bought…oh wait, some of the WWE titles were crap LoL

          If they could at least give you the OPTION for manual in Underground 1 and 2, they can do it here. They’re just lazy, that’s all it is.

        I refunded NFS Rivals within a day after I got it when I realised it had no auto. It’s stupid to have no option. EA can go suck it with this one.

    nice, skyline and supra, nice varied car roster.
    still not sure what i think about this game, with the funny drift thing, it looks like theyv taking driving out of the question entirely.

      I’m glad they’re including more JDM cars. Most of the big racing games at the moment barely have any Asian cars in them. I mean, Project Cars has only ONE. Hence why I haven’t bought it yet. But for arcade I’m sticking with The Crew for now, just got it the other day. It has manual shifting and a huge open world, so I’m happy.

    Is this game still always on(the)line?
    If so, it wont matter how good looking the cars or graphics are, I’ll be giving it a skip.
