[@MasterOfTruck]

i wouldnt say "hacking". beforehand you would unrealistically crash into vehicles to make them spill their payloads. but here, you would use the arclight device, which is definitely an EMP based weapon, that would cause vehicles to shut down and crash from losing control. seems like they liked the concept so much that they took it and later used them in rivals.

@@dragobruder6328 I like original MW but I think this was a great game. Only problem was the name. It has nothing to do with "Most Wanted" or "Need for Speed". I am sure this isn't criterion's fault. EA probably told them to release the game with "MW" to sell more. Game allows you to play with any controller - unlike new games- and gives you ability to fully customize the layouts even with one button having more than one function. Map was amazing and every street in this game has it's personality. Roads feel like they were made to be driven. Physics were not realistic but most importantly they were "FUN". I have never played multiplayer but it looks nice. In my opinion best thing about this game is physics feel amazing with a wheel. If you play with track tires it even feels realistic. Of course there were bad things about this game but it was an awesome game for me.

Please scrap the cheesy lines from the beggining, but that outro gave me fucking chills. This is the best feeling NFS can bring. Ghost Games, take this and make it a thing.

[@myrmeko]

We need to see more missions tbh. The other builds had some dates and times in their race intros. Maybe, if you were to show more, we could connect more dots to what the story originally was. So far you're playing as the MW/C guy, but as a fugitive, with Cross (probabaly) on your tail. And Mia was kidnapped by some dude. There is a GPS tracking device in your M3 and that's probably the reason to why you need to most likely scrap it and with the scrap money to buy a new car from one of the garages. The game would have probably employed the Payback "barn" finds mechanics since they are kinda present in the 2012 release. In terms of customization and heat level reduction, i think it was too early in development for it to have been implemented. And the plot hole of why you are a fugitive might have been filled in a later mision. Because the few races that have been shown on other channels presented some timestamps. Anyway, we need more content. Like, complete content like this, not just snippets. Edit: also this whole intro is just stunning. This is one of the most beautiful in gaming history. And you know what's really sad? The city hasn't changed a bit. They really didn't have time to do anything. And it's so surprising how well balanced the team was. It's clear that the map, story, mechanics and inner workings are at the same level of development. Criterion was such an amazing team of developers. And who knows how it could have tied into the mobile game. Could you imagine the mobile game actually being a whole different thing with a story complementing the one from the console game.

[@lilchad-ig1oj]

Actually if you play mw 2005 you know why the character is a fugitive you get bounty to race blacklist members until you get your bmw back and by then you are the most wanted guy so you flee

Anyway I hope NFS 2022 is a good game that stands on its own identity, a game good enough that it could potentially warrant a direct sequel.

this is what we call MOST WANTED not that stupid 2012 burnout crap with most wanted title

[@kristupasbudreika9421]

that soundtrack from 2011 drive brings back memories

[@arteonyx]

I guess around 95% was scrapped. The beta 'Circle' next to the minimap (I forgot but I think it relates to heat level) was brought back to the MW2012 beta build. Timestamp: 2:15

[@thediobehindtheslaughter2906]

Wait isn't that the city that was used on the later on release of Most Wanted 2012? I feel bad now that this was scrapped and was replaced with Most Wanted 2012.

[@Koffiato]

I don't think it's scrapped. All the scenery exists in the game. So they didn't restarted development, didn't made a story & modification mechanics because they didn't had enough time.

[@andreysgaming9866]

This voiceline is similary for Nfs Rivals Story

[@gavra-1337]

Feels much more like actual most wanted, its worthy being called mw2, unlike what they made, "need for burnout" 😬

[@kanebehne3604]

See I’ve noticed something here. This is the same city used in that dumpster fire we got as NFS Most Wanted 2012. I feel like this is what that most wanted title should have been

[@lildaffy1695]

I'd must say they must at least have the upcoming NFS a Modern Warfare 2019 treatment.

[@themagicschoolbus181]

I like how the license plate of the BMW is 11-15-05 that's the date most wanted was released in North America

[@N4SVideos]

NFS Fans: NFS 2019 should have a story with a serious tone with some Underground customization with balanced driving, grip, and drifting physics along with Most Wanted 05' cops and a fantastic open world environment that fits the game's physics as well as a balanced car list. EA: introducing surprise mechanics. But seriously what could of been if greed wasn't so serious to EA and gave Criterion at least until 2013 to release a probable masterpiece of the franchise.

EA doing things properly canceled soz

Car list*

notice at 5:21... the BMW M3 e92 is only doble car, there's a Tail light is just damage and does repair

[@DegenerateProdigy]

There is a sad moment in when grey M3 E92 gets taken down in launch trailer, a very important car through development and story that was planned. It probably symbolises turning point in development to Burnout style or far worse to lack of features, rather than a fruitful mix of MW05 and HP2010.

[@minignoux4566]

i just realised that the song in the cutscene is Tick of the Clock, wich is also featured in Drive

[@omarmejia7609]

The city looks very similar to Fairhaven City from Most Wanted 2012, the long short jumps, the bridge with the truck having its load go off, if you look carefully this city kinda does look like Fairhaven.

[@MayconMLG]

It is

[@LegendarySnipez7000]

it is Fairhaven, just an early build of the game.

[@jonathanblack5886]

Holy. Shit. Rockport was mentioned. HOLY SHIT ROCKPORT WAS MENTIONED!

[@EnemenyYT]

This has a more gritty/urban feel like the first game. I wonder what caused such a drastic change in the final product

[@logangriffith9390]

This game was an actual reality, the map as well as most of the background vehicles (and the M3) were all present in NFS Most Wanted (2012). Before the game’s release they definitely changed things up but still pretty much the same game.

[@MidnightClubStillCancelledSoz]

It sucks EA scrapped this sequel and gave us Most Wanted 2012...

[@StewHeisenberg]

Carbon was the sequel technically.

[@StewHeisenberg]

@AbdulAzeem Shaikh Yea you’re right

[@watch_kitty]

Wait, isn't arclight (@4:50) spoken of in Need for Speed Payback towards the end?

[@Speedyheart]

no. its something else that sounds similar

[@watch_kitty]

@@Speedyheart Ah, okai.

[@KlayMence]

It still better than Most Wanted 2012

[@MrLuffypower]

Duuuuude this looks so sick! The city, the colors, the gameplay... why they didnt make it? WHYY!??

[@DevinMillarDM]

We could always mod MW 2012 and remake the game ourselves.

[@cannedbeverage7687]

Problem is, no one wants to do it. Oh, and certain things, such as the story may be even impossible to port or re-create. Shame that we live in this reality.

[@DevinMillarDM]

MLG Dew But there was a time when making mods for MW 05 as well as that Rockport map mod was impossible to create but now look at us. We just need to work on it. I mean honestly. ANYONE could’ve remade this intro and modded this game and stuff with their own voice and called it “official”.

[@cannedbeverage7687]

@@DevinMillarDM I implied that it would be unlikely that someone would attempt something as complex as this.

[@cannedbeverage7687]

@UCbBR9BRPEV45LpqSrTp9_Zg Okay, but the real question is whether it will be within the lifetime of anyone who's currently alive.

[@The-Spectral-Ghoul5036]

this is cinema

[@blue7081]

Forgive my curiousity, but what is the absolute oldest build that people know of? And how do people even get their hands on these ? I keep reading about EA cracking down on people uploading old builds videos

[@xSpicySaltx]

september 18th 2011. Mw2 - which used SeaCreast's Map. But this was in december 2011

[@therealfluffynolixfoxouwu]

The new HUD and minimap looks sick!

I've never seen the full ending or beginning of this

[@skornatimmy]

Now I'm mad, didn't know about this. I would pay full price for this.
