Need for Speed Racing Games

Ive noticed alittle bit of a battle on. one crowd wants a return to the Ps1 days of supercars, no storylines, and no illegal streeting. another side wants the death of the exotics and a retuen to underground, IE: total ghetto, cop race, rap , tuning and illegality.

ive noticed myself, that, although the new NFS games are still brilliant fun, combining both types, ghettos and supercars, just doesn't work that well. so, why not launch 5! NFS games in the same year (poss 2011?) i know it will mean bigger inital outlay for EA, but, think of the massive profits!

the ideas ive had are.
1. for the Underground crowd: NFS Underground 3: Deadwatwer city. this is pure street racing, street speak, tons of cops, a story about a no good kid from the wrong side of the tracks who makes his way to the top of the illegal scene, JDM hatches, loads of tuning, the rap soundtrack etc. just what the underground fans have asked for. now note, if you want this idea expanded on, then i'd prefer it if one of you did it, the "street scene" just isnt my thing.

2. for the kids/ Casual Crowd. NFS: N20. Nitro 2 basically, the same as nitro one, a hybrifd of NFS and kart racer, just with more locations, more cars, and a Ps2 port.

3. for the Most Wanted fans: NFS State. Like most wanted, its a full free roam game with tuning, JDM imports, supercars, street racing, auto gangs, police chases, undercover work, etc. but with a massive blacklist (possibly 200?) and a huge play area, not just a city, but a whole state ccovering a couple thousand square miles, cities, freeways, small towns, mountain passes, etc, each with its own culture, and matching blacklist racers. the story should be about a police officer whos wife was killed in an accident involving the number one blacklist driver, he's left the force and gone rougue, working alongside his fomrer partner who keeps him informed of what the police are up to, he plans to take down the blacklist one by one, knowing that if he gets inside, he can nail all of them. that is until they hire some protection, police cheif turned mercenary, adam cross. music is naturally Rap, rock, and techno. of course, if you dont like those genres, you can turn them off. or even put youre own music in.

4. for the shift fans: Need for speed. WORLD TOUR. very similar to shift, just with far more cars, and a list of tracks that is entirely liscenced, no pathetic wastes of disk space such as hazyview, just tons of real world courses like Monza, the Nordschleife, SPA and of course the circuit de le sarf, mixing both street cars such as the porsche carrerra GT, with BONAFIDE racing cars, like the classic 962-c. music will be fusion rock.

and finally, for the old school fan: NFS; Real Cars, Real fast. a Homage to the past, probably a one off, but a return to the glory days. no tuning or free roam. instead a huge list of massive courses (up to 1k miles per lap) through glourious environments, the return of the showroom mode, a massive list of cars, ranging from hot hatchbacks like the audi s3 (minimal 200 horsepower) through ,muscle cars, to sports cars, supercars, ultra exotics, to the fastest production cars on earth. music, naturally will be european techno, with callista by saki kaskas, the best tune in road challenge (and one of the only tunes to make my cry with joy), returning as the games theme tune, even ressurecting the classic "stylised S" version of the NFS logo from the ps1 era. if its openly advertised as a retro experience, im sure people will be willing to look past the lack of cop chases (not fetured) lack of story (i just want to bomb supercars arpound mountains!), and lack of free roam and tuning as its not meant to keep up with the latest crowd, just be a peice of classic high powered entertainment with the soul of a ps1 game, wrapped up in a HD package. who knows, with 5 other need for speeds that cater more towards the tuner, story, street race scene, people may be more accpeting of an old school NFS game on top as a clasy, beutifully made "unique game". as it would be somethign different as every game is offering tuning and street racing now. NFSU was well accepted for being so "different" to the games of its time, so a classic NFS may get the same view now every game takes the NFSU style approach.

well those are the ideas. tell me what you think of them, i hope you like them.

if you want to expand on the first 4, go ahead, as long as you start seperate threads, as long as you credit me with the title, im more than happy to let you create youre perfect nfs game with them. in fact, with the underground one, as i know NOTHING about the "street" scene, or for that matter, street speak, ill NEED you to work on that one.

the only one i will personally work with the communioty to flesh out is Real Cars, Real Fast. although, ill see if theres any interested parties before i start the thread.

thanks for youre time, i hope you like the ideas, who knows, Ea could make some of them if we expand on them enough?

It's a great idea, I like the sund of the Underground and Shift games. Unfortunately I suspect it wouldn't be financially viable to release 5 games into the market at once, targetting only racing game fans.

thanks ayvee, yeah, i quess it wouldnt. i was thnking if perhpas you assigned each one to a seperate studi and used an upgraded shift engine for 3 of them, that might help the costs, if not, well, perhaps the shift, underground and real cars ones should make the cut.

glad you liked the ideas

the first and fifht of those games are a must be done.

indeed goku.

im actually working on the car and track list for number 5, as number one isnt really my scene, all i need is an adress for EA to send it too when ive completed it and got it copyrighted....
see EA, some of us actually want to make games for you. were not all haters...


if you want to take the reigns for "Underground 3: Deadwater city", goku, or any other users do, then go ahead, as long as you give me the credit for the "deadwater city" location and title, and core idea, ill back you 100%.
