Last time I was excited was NFS2...so I definitely agree with him. Looks amazing! Mainly because it's burnout.

Surprising myself that I'm actually leaning towards getting this instead of ACIII. (At least at launch...ACIII will be purchased, eventually.)

I haven't bought a racing game since Burnout Paradise. This looks like a strong contender for the next, if this turns out alright.

The Car handling in Burnout Paradise was just soooo good.

Burnout Paradise was fantastic. NFS Most Wanted (the last one) was fantastic. My prediction - this will be pretty good.

It will be interesting to see how this 'every care available from the beginning' thing works out.

Have you guys had any exposure to the Vita version? I know they're wanting it to be comparable to the console version. Wondering if it's living up.

I know the Need for Speed branding is more recognizable and probably sells better, but this really feels like it should be a Burnout game.

Amen. I for one love the sensation of progressing through a game, and unlocking cars gives me that sensation. Anyway, i'm slightly excited for this game.

It`s not burnout. I hated that game. It was too fast and had too much colision. This is Most Wanted 2 with more arcade controls. The last Nfs 3 was awesome but had loose controls.

This is going to be sooo sweet. It looks to be the perfect mix of Burnout and Need For Speed.

I'm the other way: I like the idea of having everything available. It sounds like you will still need to "find" the vehicle in the world before you'll be able to drive it though.

@gbrading:Yes, but considering multiplayer it's just no fun when everyone is driving around with the same car. The best one available that is.

That's what's making other driving-MMOs kind of unplayable for me after a while. Take a look at Test Drive Unlimited 2, a sheer catastrophe.

Not too fond of every car being available from the get-go, personally. And by the looks of it many people feel the same way.

Racing games should not be about ease of access. If you want an actual racing simulator then shoot for that, but when you are making a VIDEO GAME you need to add progression aspects. And I don't mean a driver level or popping a hundred million points in your face every time you perform a drift.

I'm still very much looking forward to this game, but sacrificing progression in an open-world game in lieu of accessibility is a goddamn stupid idea.

Also EA, we still don't like dubstep. Not even when it's quiet. Pls.

More similar to Burnout than dissimilar. On the subject of it being too fast, never can be too fast. I loved the rush of avoiding traffic for a lap around the entire city. White knuckle, man.
