Objection! There was not a single camera spin or racist caricature in this trailer.

That looked alright. I'm curious as to how the story mode will play out. I guess I shouldn't expect too much from Blackbox though.

So they had Michael Bay cut and edit a bunch of their already made cutscenes together?

Nice waste of your money EA.

If that's so, then we've just seen all the best parts of the game from this video alone.

I feel like I heard some transformer sound effects in there though.

I honestly thought the title was a joke. And then I got 12 seconds into the video. I was wrong.

I must have missed the 360 degree pan of the main character standing up, cause that's in all Michael Bay trailers

Imagine Jack played by Sheila booth, and there you go. But needs more random slow motion.

That did look cool. If that trailer was shown without any reference to Michael Bay people would be far more receptive to it. Drop Michael Bays name however, and people instantly become morons.

I got all exited about the game just by looking at this trailer. Then I seen through it and saw how repetitive the driving in this game must be, how frustrating the avalanche like sections will be and most of all, how getting those quick time events while on foot right will be boring. Now lets just hope I will be wrong in all of my assumptions.

how repetitive the driving will be? driving is always driving..its always repetitive..its called driving. The avalanche section isn't that bad. Play the demo its in there.

Don't forget patriotic. Interesting that he went with the Statue of Liberty, and not an American flag flapping in the breeze.

Joking aside, though, I have to admit that Michael Bay knows his action sequences.

We've still got a long way to go, but it's incredible the kind of emotion we're getting out of characters in video games right now. Especially having just finished Uncharted 3.

21 seconds till paint was traded, 1:06 till the first actual explosion, and about 1:50 before constant stream of BLABLAAAAmmm...

If this is Bay, he's going soft.

That was a really cool trailer, but there weren't enough explosions for a true Michael Bay experience. Also, the lack of licensed music - like Aerosmith and Armageddon, or Linkin Park and Transformers. Very close though, EA ;)

I'm really divided on the look of this game. Sometimes it looks downright gorgeous and other times it looks like something from the last generation. I'm sure it will be fun though.

Clearly when I indicated in the market research survey that "the implication that Michael Bay has or should have any involvement in video games is insulting", it didn't make enough of an impression.

I like explosions by the bay. That'd make a great documentary name, too.

Wow, Michael Bay, way to make this game suddenly look like the least interesting racing title ever. The Run can look awesome, but this does NOT LOOK AWESOME.

I went from having no interest whatsoever in this game at all to wanting to buy it in 2 minutes 19 seconds. What do you know. Michael Bay works.

Seeing it that way I'm suddenly a bit more interested. If not for still working my way through batman, and looking forward to skyrim and assassins creed, I might have ended up playing this sometime this year.

I'm a little surprised by everyone; had they not made it clear that Michael Bay made this trailer, I think some of the reactions I'm reading here would be different. Sure, he makes questionable movies, but that trailer got me pumped and I don't even like need for speed or racing games in general. I'm shocked to even have an interest in this game now.

Wait, did they really get Michael Bay to cut this trailer? Why?

Looks like a cool game though, gotta say. I'll be picking this up along with Assassin's Creed and Saint's Row when they all release, so I can't wait for November 15

i really hope EA eventually decides to return to the Underground 2 and Most Wanted style, all their NFS games are linear now, and there's barely any customization
