It’s time to face facts – the “narrative” in several of the past Need for Speed titles has ranged from “meh” to downright atrocious. You could even throw in some optional invasion mechanics and collect bounties on certain racers (both in-game and online). Choose different tools and hunt down racers along with implementing an entirely different reward system for playing as the law. One method to liven up the cop chases is to go back to one of NFS’s most well-known mechanics – playing as the cops. It’s not an easy question to solve but hopefully Criterion is looking into it. The question – how do you do that while still maintaining some level of realism? You don’t want to turn this into Grand Theft Auto but also want some fresh challenges. Special cruisers at higher Pursuit Levels in Heat were also nice but there needs to be more. We’ve seen the usual pursuing vehicles, barricades and spike-strips, not to mention the pursuit helicopter and armored trucks. Bring back the Most Wanted List and expand it to include a bunch more racers this time, each with their own cash bounties and souped-up vehicles as rewards.Ĭop chases are an integral part of the Need for Speed experience, whether you’re escaping or trying to track down criminals. This should be expanded to include the day time as well with unique conditions, locales and various interesting characters to race against. Need for Speed Heat had the right idea but restricted its street racing to the nighttime. Speaking of rival crews, the next Need for Speed badly needs more street racing. Get creative and introduce some stellar vehicles that are rewarded upon fixing them up. Offer tricky obstacles that must be circumvented (like an Abandoned Car on a cargo ship in the ocean that must be jumped to). Have proper quest lines that lead you to an Abandoned Car, perhaps competing in races with rival crews to see who gets it. ![]() Need for Speed 2022 should have this and expand on it further. Once informed of one, you had to race to an area and search around to find it. Need for Speed Payback’s Abandoned Cars act pretty much like the Barn Finds in Forza Horizon. Throw in some Electric Cars and more experimental models, for instance. At the very least, Criterion needs to inject even more than past games have offered. And while Need for Speed Heat offered a decent selection of cars, there were still only 127 compared to 500 at launch for Forza Horizon 5. It feels like we’ve been seeing the same vehicles since Need for Speed (2015) with the Acura RSX-S, Ford Mustang Foxbody and GT, Honda Civic Type-R and so on appearing again and again. The selection of cars in Need for Speed has been a little…stagnant over the years. ![]() That sounds all well and good but here are 15 things we’d like to see, feasibility be damned. Rumors state that it’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC along with being set in Lake Shore City, which is based on Chicago, and having “anime elements” with its photorealistic visuals. The next Need for Speed is planned for release later this year, and there’s very little officially known about it.
