Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012)

Need for Speed: Most Wanted Vid Rips Up Fairhaven City
Written Tuesday, July 31, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Here's a new gameplay trailer for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Criterion's upcoming racer.

It's essentially the demo shown at E3, with bonus developer commentary and pop-up info explaining some of the game's features.

You'll get to see Fairhaven City, the latest iteration of Autolog, a sexy supercar destroying everything in sight and more. It looks good, really blummin' good.

Check out the vid below. Need for Speed: Most Wanted is out on October 30th. Racer of the year? We reckon so.

Eh, First Most Wanted was the last good NFS, but this looks kinda different, and even if something different then Forza, i still say fuck it, im buying Forza Horizon.

I just hope there'll be a story not like in Hot Pursuit where you just raced with no story whatsoever

I love Criterion, but afraid to spend money on the nfs franchise incase they start bringing out more crap like 'the run 2'& play online passes

Forza have a solid set of games I'm happy to support them, just hope they do somthing about no damage in horizon and listen to the fans a bit more.

Damnit, who am i kidding i'll probably end up with both anyway.

Cool, I was hoping for a sequel to Burnout Paradise sometime soon. This'll do.

@14: Ahahahaha, NFS is the most varied racing franchise in terms of game-style variety and game quality. Try naming a single racing franchise that outdoes it.

Does anyone else not think this looks just like The Run, but with cops? I've been with ND4SPD games since the first one and The Run although it wasn't what I expected, it was still ok and fun online. This time though I'm not sure, this game looks nothing like Most Wanted and I was expecting it to take me back to those days. After watching this video I feel like this is a mix of The Run/Hot Pursuit. Not sure about ND4SPD games anymore lol first time I'm doubting them :(

I wish they would give us a new trailer and not a rehash of E3 gameplay. It's pretty much Hot Pursuit/Burnout Paradise. It's not made by the same people that did the run.

This looks like complete ass. I can't even believe they are calling this most wanted. No car customizations, no cool vinyls, no blacklist. Just a free roaming piece of trash. Stop forcing Criterion to make NFS games and get back to making a real Burnout... Not that shit called paradise. Of course I'll get thumbed down, but I'm so tired of this copy and paste BS they keep calling a new NFS. The RUN was trash, Shift 2 was trash, this new Most Wanted is trash.

@20: There is customization. I don't know where you are getting your information. How about you know something about a game before you fuss about it not having those features?

Will it be like hot pursuit where even though you wreck your rivals during a race they still continue racing? Cause that was stupid and annoying.

I'm kinda disappointed to be honest. Didn't see a single one of the orange destruction signs that when you hit causes the cutscene of major destruction and gives you all of the pursuit points. Otherwise it does look good. Can't wait!

The last Criterion-made NFS was f*cking amazing. Day one purchase for me.

I hate Criterion for bowing the heeds of EA and making NFS games... like there aren't enough already! Just make Burnout Paradise 2 already!

@15 Same here, I loved Burnout Paradise and have been waiting for a sequel since it released.

I could care less about the single player in this game. I want to see some of the MP, if it's anything like Burnout Paradises MP I'll be picking this up at mid-night on release.

@26
Yes. Yes he evidently does know that.
OT:
I'll probably get this, as I loved Most Wanted, and love Criterion :P
Like 25 said though, I wish they'd make Paradise 2 :'(
Although I suppose the wait will make it all the sweeter... or like DN:F :S

The 2 racing games I've played most in my life would be Burnout Paradise and Hot Pursuit 2 (PC and PS2 xD). The 2 after that don't come anywhere as close in playtime, but are still some of the best racers I've ever played (because I prefer arcade racing, not realistic). They are Criterion's Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted (PS2 and 360). If Criterion's remake of Hot Pursuit is any indication, this game will be EPIC!

Also, I think they should just leave the Need for Speed series to Criterion. That or make a studio that can make a game as good as Criterion so they can focus on Burnout.

@30 Back in June EA announced they are giving full control of the NFS series to Criterion.

@15 & 28 Same here, loved Paradise, regretted getting rid of it. Glad we're getting something very similar despite it being NFS and not Burn out.
