    Maaan.

    I mean, I would take a Burnout instead. I just wonder if it’d make sense to try that at this point with a completely different market and group of people. I guess we can see if they figure out that Skate reboot and go from there.

      Burnout Paradise city and NFS underground 2 I spent so many hours on. Loved those.

        I think the Criterion Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted games are underrated. I get why, they’re very Burnout-y for NFS fans but don’t play just like Burnout, but man, are they sticky and precise and smooth.

        And they still look great today, too.

          I’m a huge (old) nfs fan, and I love HP '10 and MW '12. It’s no U2 but both are damn good games. I fired up MW not too long ago, just to cruise.

          Burnout was the shit too. Mostly for Crash Mode. Paradise was cool with the open-world but them kneecapping crash for whatever the fuck they called ‘bounce your car endlessly down the street’ mode was fucking atrocious. EA selling the ‘ultimate box’ on the pc without the fucking island - and no way to get it - was bullshit, always been pissed of about that.

            Was it missing? I don’t remember that. Did all the DLC make it to the remaster? I kinda remember it did.

            EDIT: Checked. The Steam page says it did.

          The worst part of that most wanted is that its called most wanted. It’s a great game but it’s name causes it to create comparisons to the og most wanted which for most, myself included, have big nostalgia for

            Yeah, I skipped over the original and when I went back to it I genuinely couldn’t see what the fuss is about.

            My biggest gripe with the remake ended up being that it felt a bit weird after coming from playing a bunch of Hot Pursuit, but I ended up playing an absolute ton of MW once I got used to the way it drives.

            I couldn’t tell you why they chose to reuse titles for those two games, though.

            Look up videos of the MW beta. It was supposed to be a MW, just like '05. Time constraints killed that plan.
