last man standing.
4 players versus extra powerful cops, last one to get busted wins...

I like that idea Ruudk.

That would take some narly cops though. I've run from the police for an hour with 4 blown tires, those matches could go on for a very long time! lol

I would like it if we could come up with a way to build in a community.
Maybe like... a free roam map, with the ability to park at a dinner, or house (something) and it loads into a chatroom... with voice.

Perhaps find a way to come to terms with the PC XBOX and PS3 servers and LINK them together. The worst part about these systems is that they're $400+ ... your buddy ends up buying the PS3 and you got an XBOX, you have the same games but can't flippin play together.

Also, maybe a walking charactor... Customizable hair, face, body, clothing... and be able to walk around in free roam.
Drag racing in free roam... be able to setup from point A to point B.
Ability for other drivers, not in the race, take part in the distruction of other players that are racing.

I wanna

Manufacturer Comeptiton

like in NFS shift.

That's a five star post there

I can't really see them doing extravehicular people. That is straying way too close to GTA which already has an mmo spinoff in development: APB.

I like the cop idea though. It would be like a multiplayer survival mode. A nice twist would be if you got points for helping out other players escaping like colliding with cops chasing them or whatever (I just had a thought: PLAYER RHINOS! Epic!).

being NFSWO PC ONLY i seriously doubt that... unless you can run it on Linux or MacOS... in that case it would be really something, since having friends to race together regardless of the type of computer they are running would be awesome

i would prefer something more of the lines of a customizable avatar (specially for in-game chatrooms like in your first idea) and a driver that automatically matches the avatar appearance... having a walking character is pretty much like turning NFS into GTA in my opinion.

this is where i say that this idea should be expanded to other race modes as well, like sprint and grip races, where you can choose which routes/streets/roads you can and can't go during the match!, that said there should be a race mode called street drift where (like that name says) you have to drift through certain parts of the city (can be user created as well)

i didnt understand that part very well because... ¿why do you want to destroy another players when you are not in a race?

anyway... the way i see a cool gameplay mode would be helping another player who's being pursued by the cops to get rid of them...

and maybe...


doing that during an special event where the cops go all crazy and goes hunting everyone would be so totally awesome!

As a player who tested the game and a long-term NFS fan I'll tell you that:

You'll never see walking characters in the game because its just silly for a racing game.
You'll never see this game for a console because it has many new pc-exclusive features which will work only for PC (like to customize your UI).
You'll never see DRAG race from point A to B.
You'll never see other drivers who are NOT in your race messing around. Races are instanced. And the whole idea is just plain stupid,it will cause lots of problems and frustration.

You WILL see player made races (1on1) where a player challenges another player into a point-to-point race where the CHALLENGED player chooses the route.
You WILL see voice chat. This game is going to have clans,team races/events so voice chat is going to be implented for sure.
You WILL see events with player cops .

Not so much like a full blown GTA charactor. Just ... yeah like an Avatar, your toon in your car, be able to get out and look at your car and other peoples cars around you at hangouts...

... as for the non-racing players, I just know that among my friends on all NFS games, we also have groups of friends that we dislike. The more I can mess with them, the better

I think it's a perfect idea. EA could make money on selling accessories.

Awesome if its kept in car, but really a big no to getting out and walking around - lets not forget it its a racing game here!

Well thats not nice is it?

Wanted Mode: At least 10 players, One of which is a racer. Everyone else is a cop, and they take your car down with aggressive tactics. If your car gets totaled, your done.

I see you have not played TDU. It has avatars that walk into all dealerships, clothing stores, and the houses. There's even a dressing room in the houses where you can change the appearance of the avatar. TDU is undeniable racing game and TDU is best open world racing game to date. IMO

Open world racing online games just cant be a racing game anymore, otherwise it will get old quickly, it has to be much more. Racing has to remain the heart and soul of them but it has become a virtual world that represent the whole of the racing world. Even the reasons why people race is going to have to expand. EA is going to have to introduce as many real world reasons to race in the game as to why people race in real life. A great number of those reasons are posted on your thread:

You know the first part of that quote wasn't me, right?

I have indeed played TDU, but even the avatars in that did't truly get out. Instead they were used in pre-set cut scenes and the like but it never really phased me as being that great a feature. The best part about avatar customisation in TDU was how it reflected your garage (like how the bigger houses had the bigger and cooler garages).

When you start creating avatars that can get out and walk around upon player request you end up with disasters like Auto Assault!

I see your point, and I would not want see avatars walking around outside. I like for them to walk around in their personal garages, club houses, and a few more specific places.

It would be pretty cool if you could do events where you could ride passenger in a friends car and subsequently see your avatar sitting in the passenger seat. Could be you just want to see how they race from their perspective - its one of those pointless things to make people go "Heh"
