@AE86FTW To deliver the best experience possible and make playing with friends more rewarding, an online connection will be required.

If it's like The Crew then I don't see it as that much of a bad thing. I'd guess that most of the people that game have internet access these days.

I think the fear is the game is useless without a connection, you should still be able to roam if your connection drops imo and play the single player campaign.

[hassan1995]

That's my only issue, I haven't had problems with the crew, but virgin being virgin are well crap they're always inconsistent. An offline mode wouldn't kill and I doubt it would affect the game that much.

It will be maybe like TDU when offline. just AI cars to race on freeroam so less variety and rewarding,

[hassan1995]

Hope so because it doesn't sound like they're planning to do that.

[carlos_69]

I think they don't want another fail just like Simcity.

That would be great except it isn't going to be like that. If the EA servers, PSN, Xbox Live or your internet go down you can't play it at all, not even the "single-player" :cool:

 

It's nice to see that EA have learned from the SimCity fiasco aye :clap:

Well, they said the same for MW'12 and Rivals but you can play both without an internet connection.

And even it will be "always online" it's not a problem for me. :p

[Eudemon]

You'll eat these words at some point during the games release. Internet connections are not infallible and neither are the servers on which they connect to. Unless the game specifically requires something at the remote end to function there is no reason to completely lock out players from progressing with the campaign imo.

[Dudu69]

besides, a game that requires you to stay connected the whole time is bound to have an expiration date. if the servers shutdown some day, you'll no longer be able to play it. that's why i didn't buy The Crew. i want to play the game for many years, even if i have to install a number of patches to make it run on an unsupported system.

i wish i had played that game. but it's way past the expiration date.

Well, I never had problems before but sure, that doesn't mean that everything will work like this in the future.

 

As I said, EA said the same for Rivals and MW12. Last summer i didn't have internet for 2 weeks because of a heavy storm and I was able to play these games offline. Even the Origin client has an "offline mode". Sure that doesnt mean that NFS 2015 will work offline as well, just saying. :S

 

Instead of flaming/hating on EA, people should be happy that they announced this so early. Would be even worse if you find that out at the release day :P

[carlos_69]

Maybe EA will pull a bait and switch. Saying is always online and then near the release say that it can be played offline, making people happy with EA for listening the community.

Looks familiar :cheeky:

[Kelvjy]

Guys!

 

 

New screenshot :panic2::msuh::panic2:

[Camel]

Wheels are confirmed!

 

Where did you get this from?

[Kelvjy]

The twitter :)

[The Compensator]

Also brakes.

 

:yay:

[TIMELESS]

The lack of stickers worries me :hmmm:

[Camel]

NFS devs, they're there with their stickers. There's one on the brake calliper. :nods:

[calster17]

Boom

 

Spotted two cars that havent been seen before, current style M3 Coupe & a new 911 (Guessing a 991). :)

[Milli]

It's a M4 and a GT3 (991).

 

Edit: There is also a Hurracan in the video. When there are the 4 cars racing, a yellow car pass in the other side, very quickly. It's the Lambo. @ 0:51 seconds

holy cabbage, the new nfs looks amazing
