Some details Need for Speed: Heat We learned from recent leaks, but now we finally presented the race along with a full-fledged two-minute trailer. We are waiting for a double life: in the afternoon, in inspired Miami Palme, official competitions of SpeedHunters Showdown are held, where players earn money to improve and purchase new cars. And at night illegal street races begin, on which a reputation will have to be obtained, which opens access to more advanced modifications.
The first official gameplay entry will be shown on August 19 during the opening ceremony of Gamescom 2019, which will begin at 21:00 Moscow time, and the release is scheduled for November 8. We have collected several opinions about this announcement – from our editors and regular authors of gambling.
The same announcement

Perephysing the enchantingly hypocritical statement by Kerry Hopkins, vice president EA According to the relations with the government, which defended the Lutboxes from the attacks of the British parliament: "We call it not a self -reproach, but ironic postmodernism".
If you consider Need for Speed: Heat (thank you, producers, even the name for porn parodia does not need to come up with!) from this art history, then Ghost Games Develop a "endless joke" from the world of arcade racing. Monumental work in which there are experienced and once beloved by the public refugees from Criterion will go on a rink on all racing stamps. Otherwise, why did they transfer the events of the game to the alternative universe, where the ideas about the "steepness" of automobile and patsan romance are limited to the stereotypes of the end of the zero?
Moreover, the pompous and rather tasteless trailer, not only once again emphasizes the stagnation of the franchise, showing that visually the game cannot be distinguished from the restart of 2015; He also voices an actual social commentary. Titting the races of golden youth through non-Mayams to politics through the “Mexican” (well, you know: there are only Mariachi from the musicians) trapp and bravely swearing (but only once; otherwise the ESRB will have been tapped over the forehead) as a narrator as a narrator is a wonderful move. After all, it is the topical message that the brainless "racing" with microtransactions is needed. I hope that our localizers somehow adapt this moment for the domestic audience: for example, they will put the phrase “The whole world against me, but I'm inspired by this, hedgehogs”.
Only one moment bothers me: for satire heat perceives himself somehow too much. Although maybe in vain it is me. In the end, they are not https://eclipse-casino.co.uk/ on serious shoes. True, after all? Is it true?..

After the trailer, I got the impression that the developers of NFS (well, or producers of EA) were finally confused in what they are doing, why and for whom. Instead of looking for a new “face” series, they simply shoved everything into Heat: night illegal races, police, tuning, legal day -style arrivals Prostreet, The plot and the devil knows what else.
Without a concept, it will work or not, but I have frankly from the pretense of pathos in the trailer, the emotions remained negative. It seems that developers simply underestimate what role the atmosphere plays in the success of racing projects. So instead of the festive festival Forza Horizon or autumn rockport from Most Wanted They once again make a city and style, in which, judging by the video, it is simply uncomfortable to be.
Another point that caused questions is physics. The gameplay in the video was almost not shown, but there was exactly one frame with a car in a drift, and it looked as awkward as in the last two games. Yes, it is too early to judge the gameplay on the second frame, but he did not add reasons for optimism. Moreover, the technology seems to remain the same, but for racing it is not intended. In general, I don’t know why and who needs such a NEED for Speed, when there is excellent forza horizon in every sense, but the series has repeatedly surprised where they were waiting for a failure from it. So we will draw conclusions in November, but for now it remains only to hope for the best.

Today in the afternoon my PM was exploding from messages with links to the NFS: Heat trailer and cries “Lord!"," Hyp!"," What a cool!"And other delights. Well … I didn’t really understand what they are entering there. I mean, the trailer, of course, is beautiful (how much the night neon metropolis can be beautiful – no matter how you try, the picture is always very monotonous). But I listen to this "plot" tie, and a video is directed in my head by itself about how Ghost Games We sat at a meeting and invented the concept of their already fourth consecutive game in the series:
“So we have already done? We had Rivals, She was in principle not bad (thanks Criterion , What helped!). Then we restarted the entire series at all, ourselves, we are well done, but it turned out medium. Then with PAYBACK In general, something strange happened. We need to come up with something new, something fresh, so that it was right in the heart for fans … Oh! And remember how a thousand years ago EA Canada Made NFS: Most Wanted And how she went so much then that she is still remembered and loved? And there are all sorts Hot Pursuit were, too, with cops, well, there were norms, yes? And let's make our Most Wanted? How "it was already re -released"? Well, let's rename, it’s a pity or something … "
And what in the end? Here again we have a game with bad cops that interfere with good stritreisers-bunters. Here is online. Here's something like an open world. Here is a traditional supercarry physics. Well, so be it, let's make the plot more relevant and acute – let the street racers have a Mexican reprimand. Ah, tuning, of course. So, wait ..
This is no longer Most Wanted. There is another game, much more similar to what this trailer advertises: an uncontrolled arcade cocktail of all “cool” racing classes invented in recent decades. True, there are still problems with the name. It is unlikely that EA would allow developers to call her new NEED For Speed race: The Crew..

In Heat, as in PayBack, I see the first again "Frying". Night races, cops, theft, but with the addition of a new layer – legal races. And again I want the developers to succeed in the plot and production. After all, such a potential, you can also make a truly exciting project in this setting!
But … I just don't believe that the developers will succeed. I see no reason. Why something should be released after the same Payback? There are no accents on the plot in the announcement and in the description, you should not hope. The uncertainty of the developers, which the authors are written above, is also unlikely to go to the game to the benefit: Ghost Games may not be able to focus on something one.
In addition, this is ea. I get the feeling that on the basis of the franchise known to the world, the publisher is trying to make a truly good project that will hook the audience, then to spoil it, turning it into a game-service with a bunch of microtransactions and a grind. In any case, now it remains only to wait for Gamescom and the details from there. The picture will clear in less than a week.

I love cars and everything with a motor under the hood or saddle! Not only charged supercars for drift, but also muscular pickups, nimble bugs, nimble motorcycles, quadric-gryademli and galloping galloping along the waves … Something even managed to purchase in real life. It was precisely the Need For Speed series played a significant role in the origin of passion, for which many thanks to her.
In 2003, I met Underground and disappeared in the game for many months. The race aroused interest in the whole series, and at that time it was already under ten years. I remember how I was looking for classic parts in the vastness of the nascent Russian segment of the Internet. And if I did not find, he made raids on retail outlets with disks. As a result, he collected and “rolled” all parts: from The Need for Speed 1994 BC Hot Pursuit 2. But she became loved Porsche Unleashed. I really liked the models of German perfect cars.
But it's time to round up with vanilla memories and get closer to business. I can say this: unfortunately, I have not yet impressed. It seems that there are also my favorite stages with cops, and legal daytime arrivals for speed and for the sake of money, so that later the muffler is more likely, and online – where without it in 2k19? Yes, and the likeness of the plot. But this is the problem: “Irish stew” comes out. Dear developers from Ghost, take some one idea or mechanics and grow something bomb from it! No need to try to please everyone.
However, maybe everything is very, very good there, but we are all mistaken. I will check it very soon – next week on Gamescom 2019. Wait for a detailed preview and interviews with developers.
