Hot take: I’d rather them stop making games if it was going to be the same quality as Unbound. I thought they were back in the zone when Heat turned out to be good but Unbound was just so bad. Everything after Most Wanted 2012 was such a mixed bag in terms of quality

Not saying I wouldn’t want the series to keep going, but after the 7th gen the games were never the same

While I agree that unbound was garbage, not making the series at all will never give them the opportunity to make a good one again. Fans not buying the series doesn’t mean they don’t like the series, it means they don’t like the game and how it has strayed. I also really didn’t like heat. I’m a black box era fan so most games past rivals were just too far off the path. If anything I’d rather them sell the IP and let another studio remake the classics or try another one with redesigned control.

Why are you acting like it’s never coming back? Either they’re waiting a few years for the reputation to die down since they ruined the franchise or they are waiting a few years to sell it off. Y’all are acting like it’s permanently over which is obviously not the case.

That’s the thing, no one knows what the case is. They could quite literally keep the IP and never make another game or they could do what you’re suggesting.

EA likes money and the brand name is worth something. I can’t see them sitting on it and not doing anything with it, even if that does mean we’re going to get more GRID games now or something. Heck, they sold off Zuma a while ago for the same reason

I’m just saying that, if EA was going to continue to micromanage the development to all hell and ruin the product a s a result, then I’d much rather Criterion spend their efforts on something good instead. And more games of diminishing quality would have soured the series name even further, making it harder to sell or revive it later.

It’s dogshit sorry bro. Play 05s Most Wanted on 360 and you’ll see what a legit NFS game is supposed to feel like.

It’s not crazy. Unbound is a legitimately poorly made game with a weird style that doesn’t fit the series and a quite poor car roster. Not to mention the open world feels pointless and dull

It’s weird that people would rather a series continue to release terrible games for them to waste money on than nothing at all. NFS was becoming as bad as Call of Duty by the time Unbound came out.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want them to make the games and make them well. We’ve become accustomed to mediocrity when that’s not the only option.

You do realize that significantly lowering the standard for what people are asked to pay $70 for is a 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, yeah?

How am I lowering the standard? I just said I want them to make good games… “make them and make them well”
