what is Black ops to me? NOTHING. NFS took my heart.

Out tomorrow in North America.

Why is this a big deal to me? Easy. I have a Need for Speed IRL, not only video games. (Don't screw around kiddies, driving 140 MPH IRL is easy for anyone that can drive in a straight line). Perhaps getting a handle on this absolute love for speed would have gotten me less speeding tickets and 1 less license suspension (For speeding) BUTTTTT it is what it is. I'm just smarter about it now, and a bit wiser.

BACK TO THE GAME. the Need for Speed series is finally making an attempt at returning to the good ol' days of NFS.. Like the original hot pursuit.. The second game I ever owned for PS1, when I was in 4th grade.

Oh. in regards to thread title, I never liked call of duty, always thought it was over rated, Except World at War. I'm tired of hearing about it and seeing it everywhere. It was time to notify the community of another soon to be released game.. Go on.....

a few more reasons why this is a big deal to me, and should be to anyone into NFS, especially the old ones, before the crap underground games.

The original hot pursuit was the best nfs game ever made... well that and undergound 2.

GAME COMPANY, I DONT CARE ABOUT ALL THIS NEW RUBBISH YOUVE ADDED IN, I JUST WANT TO DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Car games are like sports games, I only buy one every three or four years; for me that game will be Grand Turismo 5 with a force feedback 900 degree steering wheel.

Also, NFS + Burnout Devs = Sounds awesome, but it might be a lot like Burn Paradise with more cops.

EDIT: Also, this should go in the Misc Game Discussion board.

Crap underground games? Leave. The first two NFS Undergrounds were AMAZING. So amazing that I'm selling my guitar stuff and buying a ps2 with NFS Underground 2.

Yeah, uh, nah. No cops compensated with car customization, might as well call it ricing out your car, is worthless to me. Sorry bro. you have yo' opinion, and I have mine. yah dig.

I'll settle with my unrealistic police pursuits any day over making a perfectly beautiful Italian sports car ugly with crap cosmetic and performance mods that really only have a place on rice burners... yah feel me?

Last time I checked ricing out a car means making only cosmetic differences and no motor parts.
 
oh man i was thinking about call of duty black ops, and i totally forgot about this game. glad i didn't buy COD today because i will own this tomorrow for sure. i'll have it for PC, which hopefully won't be much of a problem since i'll buy a controller just for this. the first need for speed hot pursuit is still one of my favourite racing games and yes, i still own it!
 
i just bought it and installing now - first game i've bought on release day since borderlands, and before that i don't even know...deux ex maybe? haha. im so excited to get this thing fired up. bought a controller just for it too (playing on PC)

I got it for PS3. I rarely even use my PS3, but, I don't know, I just cannot play racing games on the PC.

You will not be disappointed. Already checked the reviews as well. Most are 9/10, 4/5 out of 5, etc. EA really succeeded in bringing back the old NFS with the small good elements they came up with in the newer ones.

I feel like I'm playing HP1 on ps1 or HP2 on PS2 and that really is a great feeling. No customization crap, just straight up sports cars. I must say, they surprised me with the cars they put in. Surprised in a good way.

The police cars, as you'll soon find out, are just beyond insane. Abundant in manufacturers as well. Like, what, sure I expected the lambos and the Porsche police cars, but a subaru WRX XTI? or a Mitsubishi Evo? Jap imports that are actually nice cars?!? They get better and better. That's all I'll give away.

Good damn game.

ya but right now autolog is taking forever to connect....its been like 10-15 minutes right now, not sure what the hold up is...
 
Don't really see the point of this thread, but yeah NFS is great, but Black Ops is defenitly a good game too, all though the graphics are a bit... bad for a game that got released in 2010 :(
 
ya i was thinking about getting black ops myself, but the single player is short and extremely linear - if i want to get into a pretty shooter i'll just boot up far cry 2 again, ya know.
i've been playing NFS a little bit, and oh my god is this game GORGEOUS. it looks so beautiful yet runs soo soo butter smooth.
can't wait to get some friends and do some co-op cop takedowns and such. oh man.
