If you've played the past 3 NfS there is not much new to you apart from a new story to play through. They kept most of the core elements of heat or just slightly tweaked those. The graphics are improved, there are some new customizing options, a new takeover game mode and a new nitrous system. Tap nitrous is a good addition to make racing feel a bit more engaging and makes it a little bit more tactical in multiplayer. Speaking of which, the multiplayer is separate to the solo mode. Cars you buy and customize in solo are not available online and vice-versa. Some cars that are free to buy in solo, do have challenges you need to grind to unlock for multiplayer. For example driving 30 playlists (!) in a certain car to be able to purchase the other car. This just feels like they had to stretch the content as much as possible. Another negative point for multiplayer is the complete absence of cops. You are limited to freeroam and racing in playlists. In solo the cops don't feel like a challenge, they are just annoying at times. + graphics + new license plates + bumper remove + freely tintable lights + new tap nitrous system o comic theme feels fresh, but not complete as it's just characters and some effects o story felt kinda cringe to me, but that's just how NfS story has always been o comic effects aren't annyoing as I thought they would be o no game breaking bugs in early access - repetitive story and multplayer - barely any new customizing options (bodykits, rims, wings) apart from the new hero cars - tap to drift still feels sluggish sometimes, cars not always behaving like intended - music feels kinda badly selected compared to previous titles - cop chases feel not as challenging as in heat, even with low tier cars -- car list essentially the same as heat with added duplicates of certain cars in different specs -- multiplayer and single player use separate garages -- multiplayer has no cops whatsoever Would I pay 70€ for it? Deifnitely not. It rather feels like NfS 2015 V4 or just a new NfS Heat DLC. I'd recommend waiting for it to get deposited in the EA Play membership. It might also have gotten some new content until then.
This is a prime example of what a remaster has to be like. Every aspect of the old games has been improved (without changing the original flair of the game). And even on release it had a fair price tag.
