First Screen from NFS MMO Shows Customizable UI
NFS:World Online Launches Asian Site
EA Hit The Reset Button On Need For Speed Franchise, 3 New Games Coming

At first I thought this might have just been an issue with my in game car needing better parts, but then I realized that by simply sitting in second place for the majority of the race, and then overtaking just before the finish, all the bullshit AI catchup is avoided. Unfortunately so is all the fun, since you realize that the driver in first place purposely slows down to let you go in front, only to then go speeds faster than possible in your own car to take the lead again.
Given that this game is an MMO, I'm working on the assumption (perhaps wrongly) that the races will all take place against real people. As such, there shouldn't be any need for "catchup" style effects ... right ?

This is just speculation from the positioning of the windows in the screenshot however, I could be wrong and someone f*^$ed up the shop.

Ever since NFS:U2, I've been disappointed by the series, each new outing seems to have less than the one that came before it. Whether it's less cars, less customisation, less game modes, etc, there's always something missing that should have been there.
I've been fooled into believing 3 times now that things would be different, that they actually made a proper sequal but each time I've been disappointed.
I'm avoiding that disappointment this time around by not getting NFS:WO.

I may try this one, though, because it's free.
And free's free.
And I love free.
However, I do feel like it's gonna, for some reason or another, be crap. Free MMOs never strike it large, for some reason...

Anyone else still love playing Motor City Online? Just me?

Never played Motor City Online but I'm somewhat looking forward to this game being free and all.

I don't think the actual in game graphics are going to look like what is in this screen shot.

The linked article doesn't say this is a screen shot of in game graphics, just that it is a screenshot of in game user interface which would be the chat window, the icons, and the gauges.
The picture itself is probably a screenshot from a different NFS game used as a placeholder. This game was just announced so I doubt the graphics are even in the game or look as polished as it does in the picture.

And I don't doubt that the picture could well be a shop but I don't think that the actual game will look any better or worse, if anything it'll have even more polish.

to rephrase what i said, how can you pull off a "racing" MMO without people?
02/21/09
how do you even have a racing MMO? will everyone be living in the world at the same time? because that sounds dangerous and poorly made, IMO. :/ sorry EA.

if it was more of a sim then i'd say this would be good, but it's a NFS game, so it will just be yet another stupid boring arcade racer by EA

Here's an idea: take all the worthwhile ideas you have for those 3 games, combine them into one, and spend at least 2-3 years making it. Sell, profit.
Hot Pursuit is rolling in its grave...
"Need for Speed Nitro on the Wii and DS will not be a Mario Kart clone - Nintendo already does an excellent job with that," said Munro.
What you did there, I see it.
