Multiplat Need for Speed: Payback

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

What a ****ing trailer.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

looks very fast and furious movies

 

[boydsno1]

Wish it was GTA like but where most the missions are race related or car driven missions. You can do your car up, Have a deep story and so forth.

 

[Knighta21]

Looks good. Can't wait for EA to **** it up!

 

[Jatz]

I'm excited about this now but know that will have gone by the time it's released.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Hoping it's better then Need for Speed.

Used to love the NFS titles, but now I'm just a bit over them. Same shit over and over. Picked up Rivals for cheap the other week and it feels no different, gameplay wise, to the last one I played which was Carbon back in 2006.

 

[Jatz]

Yeah I did similar with Rivals. Played it once, haven't done so again.

Pretty happy with the customization and that drifting is back. Hill climbs sound interesting too. I'm in for this for sure.

Day one. NFS games are a guilty pleasure.

Skipped the last one but same here. Will probably grab this one early too. Looks really promising so far.

Will Big W be the cheapest place to pick this up?

Playing the EA access Trial

This a hell of alot like Forza Horizon, You've got Jumps,Billboards,Speed Runs,Speed Traps etc.

No Police in freeroam & no Multiplayer free roam (Which i think we've known since announcement)

Driving feels like it needs a bit of work

Game World is pretty large with different conditions/enviroments

Theres 3 speed cards to choose from at the end of each event, Parts are random

Visual Modifications are locked behind task (eg. Buy a 2nd garage to unlock rear fenders or drift for 8 seconds to unlock splitters)

Story feels like it could be a short one

Undecided whether i'll pick it up at launch or wait til it drops in price months later

That's...that's a small issue.

Is it similar to the last NFS were it can be adjusted to actually feel good?

The handling was a big knock against 2015's game but with some tweaking i had it handling like NFS should.

Good month to resub to EA access with a trial of this and Battlefront 2. $6.95 for 10 hours each with these is a bargain, especially if i can get close to finishing NFS again.

I cant remember the handling in NFS unfortunately, In terms of adjusting, the trial has no slider options if thats what you mean

The Trial stops you from going any further than the E3 trailer heist (i just completed this) Although it allows you to continue to explore the map and do the side activities

Per this you can make some adjustments

JoshOG is streaming over on Twitch. I've only just turned it on to check it out.

The cop chases feel largely neutered too; escaping police is now a totally linear exercise, where we have to follow a set path via checkpoints within a time limit instead of improvising and doing something unpredictable to throw them off. Taking down cop cars in these events has a welcome enough Burnout 3 flavour to it – muscling your pursuers into spectacular slow-motion collisions with poles and parked cars is fun – but I don’t think it was worth losing proper pursuits for. No more darting down random side-streets at the last second to shake the fuzz, or parking in a dimly-lit area with the engine off, like Need for Speed 2015. There aren’t any cops around during free-roam, either; they’re only present in story missions or at certain triggers spread around the map that will initiate another linear, pre-set chase.

Much, much worse is that performance customisation has been distilled into a collectible card game. Unlike Need for Speed 2015, which allowed us to bolt on specific parts to improve performance – you know, like a normal racing game – Payback’s upgrades are controlled by what the game dubs “Speed Cards”. Payback’s many-tentacled Speed Card system is absolutely not for me.

To make your car faster you need Speed Cards, and each vehicle your crew owns has six slots for Speed Cards (the slots ostensibly represent things like the gearbox, or the turbo, and such). You can earn a single, random Speed Card by completing a race, but at best it will only be an incremental improvement on your current Speed Card line-up. You can also buy Speed Cards for in-game cash from auto parts stores, but the cards they carry are random and rotate every 30 minutes.

If you get a Speed Card you don’t want, you can turn it into a single “Part Token”. You need three Part Tokens to have one tug at the Speed Card slot machine (stay with me), which generally yields better cards than the ones you can buy à la carte from parts stores. You can also earn Part Tokens from “Base Shipments”, which are loot boxes that also contain cash and additional customisation items (like coloured tyre smoke or neons).

Linear/set path cop chases and a card system to upgrade cars?

That right there has put me off the game.

 

[Mitho]

I watched Josh play it for a bit. Looked real shit. Terrible voice acting, and couldn't upgrade a car for the life of him.

 

[Dockerjonz]

Personally NFS is shit apart from the original and hot pursuit.The original was awesome for burn outs

Unfortantley the franchise is dead NFS Rivals was the last decent game imo

And there it is

 

[giffler]

The no cop chases in free roam doesn't bother me to much but the card upgrade system is a terrible idea. I think I'll still pick it up tomorrow
