Need for Speed: The Icons Revealed

Back in mid-June, the world got a taste of what to expect from the new Need for Speed release, due November 3, 2015. For anyone who’s counting down the days, it’s likely that the official trailer would have only increased anticipation levels. But of course, it didn’t paint the full picture.

nfs_icons

It was divulged that the Need for Speed reboot is based around five real-world icons, and will feature five overlapping story lines. But who exactly are these icons? We’re sure many of you had a pretty good idea from the teaser image above…

Well, they’ve now been officially revealed via two new clips just debuted at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. The first clip is the Official Gamescom Trailer, which announces the Icons and gives a little more insight into the gameplay.

The second clip is the Official Icons Trailer, which delves deeper into the game’s personalities and shows how they fit in.

We’ll have more from the new Need for Speed coming up soon, but in the meantime, let’s hear your thoughts about what’s been shown here in the comments section below.

Watching the video you get a sense that NFS is rubbing it in everybody's faces that they are the only gaming studio with the rights to  Porsche...

7

obstreperous_narcissist Well considering all the Need for Speed games ever have had at least one Porsche in them and they do own the rights to put Porsche in their games and they wont give anyone else the rights except for the time with Turn 10 etc etc

8

looks like the kind of game that would appeal to people that like drifting and fast and furious movies.

9

FUCKIN' SIIIIIIIICCCCKKK!!!

10

Still can't comprehend why this game isn't called 'Need For Speed: Speedhunters Edition'.

11

So they decided to go with Risky Devil and Shinichi Moroboshi. Should be entertaining.

12

As a NFS fan, this one is going to be not only the best, but the most realistic, innovative and extraordinary installments.

13

Since Magnus Walker is in it, they need to redo Porsche Unleashed as some king of Need for Speed: Magnus Walker edition.

14

obstreperous_narcissist They lose them next year some time, might as well cash in while they can.

15

Well Ken Block and the Hoonicorn RTR are in it and 2015 Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 witch is Vaughn Gittin Jr's car so maybe we will see Jr. In it also

16

If the handling is good (either full arcade or near sim) I'm in. I tried both Shifts and the handling turned me off big time.

17

Bro5 then they'll have to rename undercover and shift xD

And Turn 10 didn't just release an ALL Porsche pack for Forza Horizon 2? Get outta here

Still... no sight of Liberty Walk? Really want to drive their 458 in game!

Gittin Jr was already shown in a cutscene, as was Fredric Aasbo.

It would be awesome if they showed a scene where Devil Z from Wangan Midnight appeared. and it would be even better if the creators of NFS was to team up with Genki from the tokyo xtreme racer series and have take place on the wangan but that's just my 2 cents still can't wait to play the game however

28

I noticed when I saw it the end time so pumped.

29

worker bee It's not. No wheel support, no cockpit view, only automatic transmission, the deifting looks comical and the gameplay is solely optimised for a 30-second attention span and bad controllers.

30

IMO the first trailer is shit. WTF didn't make me want anything out of it. cheesy characters. lame action. and watched it twice. yay Lambo...

S13, S15 if i'm not mistaken. evo 9, gt86, RX-7 Some German car. Lambo. S2000. And something that resembles a Mustang.

33

ooooh something exciting. R32 GTR at 1:03 on the right hand corner behind a couple of guys

34

The BMW M3 GTR from Need for Speed: Most Wanted are back?? damn....

35

NFS got it all going for it but one crucial thing, feels like driving a potato :/ The masses like it though.

36

Guys, the well-oiled hype machine is working wonders. Look at
everyone salivating over the same cars they've always featured but with a
little more new options. Haven't you noticed they aren't saying
diddly-squat about how the game actually plays? I mean, all they care
about is selling as many of this title as they can before it releases,
because they KNOW the game will be crap to play! At least with the Shift
series, they honestly gave it a try....3 releases later and no sign of
ever even attempting to make a good game to play. Hype, hype, hype, make
it look good, spend money on advertising instead of game testing and
customer satisfaction....I mean, from EA's view, they really couldn't
give the slightest whit about anything other than getting you to buy the
game. As for what happens after you buy it? Why should they care? They
got your money already!

I've always enjoyed the hell
out of the NFS series up to Shift 2. Ever since then, EA has streamlined
their games more and more in the wrong direction. Dropped wheel
support, dropped the cockpit view, dropped online play (or at least made
it such a joke that it was flat dead and empty within a week of
release), now they're even dropping any resemblance to a GAME. It's more
of an Internet-Cool, interactive dream car studio program, with some
ability to drive around. But once you get the game you'll need to play
the crappy gameplay and watch the even lamer cutscene characters to get
to your dream cars, and since they aren't giving a crap about how the
game plays, you'll toss this game in the circular file drawer long
before getting to them. Or, I'm sure there will be a DLC that gives you
instant access for *ahem* another measely $29.99.
I
guess you can say I ain't falling for it. Not now, not again. EA, please
make a good game again and stop making cotton candy when we want steak!

TBH, i am gonna take this $50 and buy Project CARS. I use a wheel nowadays and if EA is gonna burn me by taking my ability to play their game away, I'll take my money away from them. And give it to the same guys they used to make the Shift Series.

D1RGE amen! And the most funny (actually sad) thing is, they waste so much money on those cutscenes and 'icons' but don't even implement manual shifting. It's f*cking 2015, I won't call your game a 'racegame' if auto is all you got. It's a joke!

DylanGreene I'm not sure if serious or troll...

43

we don't want this rubbish as highlighted in the comments below (no steering wheel, auto box) we want basically gran tursimo 6 but in a big street map to do street racing on, thats it! is it that hard?????????

44

WadeRoberts1 I can get behind this. If NFS: Gatebil is considered next to impossible, this one should be really easy.

45
Magnuss Sterling

D1RGE worker bee So exactly like underground, most wanted and carbon, with more customization options and new story. I like it.

46

oldschoolcat the older I got, the more my gaming was done after dinner. Once I had my daughter, I only game late at night. I gave up pretty much all my TV time, and that was a fantastic decision. With games, at least my mind is interacting and I'm not just being force fed commercials.

47
Magnuss Sterling

Seriously, people just cant get their mind straight about what they want from NFS series. People cried and cried how they wanted a new Underground, Most Wanted and Carbon and when they're getting it, theres nothing but whining about whats not there....  I for one am absolutely excited and cant wait for this to come out, if only for the sole purpose of being able to customise cars and watch them in the garage.

48
superchargedhonda

I have played the big need for speed 2015 title that you are all looking for. This game pertains to the more tuner people giving the option to give different exhaust to give your car different sounds and giving you the option to camber and slam our cars. You will also see the free float vynils as you see in theTturn 10 series FORZA. From vented hoods and widebody kits to no bumpers and no hoods. with 5 ways to play and different car setups for different driving styles.All of you customization tuner crazed people this game is for you. there will be 4 high end cars to pick from and 17+ tunner sport cars from the 1970s to next year of 2016.

49

can I drive as a Sleeper on this game? :p

50

I'm with @D1RGE, I gave up watching TV and Sim Race instead. Read newspapers and journals for your news, forget all the crap on TV. I get my fill of ads on this site anyways.
I'm not sure if this will give me the Sim feel that I prefer, but it should be a bit of fun. Being honest, I'm unlikely to get far enough in to unlock most of the modding. NFS is a bit like racing candy - too much and you lose the touch for real sims. But, it's fun while it lasts.

51

oldschoolcat  You've got exactly the right attitude; unfortunately working away from home a lot, I don't have that much time to be working in my garage on my car where as 10 minutes once in a while on a console gives me something about cars to enjoy.

52

Are they running a whole separate physics engine for magnus' beard and hair?

53

Magnuss Sterling I think you should go and play underground & most wanted and then read your comment again.

54

Yes, it is you imbecile. It takes an extremely large amount of computing power for a console/PC to render a whole city with night/day and weather cycles AND a whole lineup of cars that are all customizable AND a realistic driving physics with damage AND an AI system with Real time Multiplayer racing.
Unless you are satisfied with PS2 graphics ( which to be frank GT6 graphics are), it is going to be very tough for consoles to chew out and it doesn't make any economically sense for a developer to make a game unplayable for a majority of the market.
Somehow, just somehow Forza Horizon 2 made that work and I assume that went either under your radar, or you didn't like it. Well tough shit, now you know how naive you sound.

55

Car sounds are insane. I love the cameos ( risky devils, magnus and ken block and akai ). But i stick to my comment before about the lack of manual transmission. I understand people say ITS TOO MUCH TO DO. which i think is BS If MIDNIGHT CLUB can bloody do it and u can side stand cars in that game , EA can pull this off.
No hate im proving an obvious point . It wont take away completely from the game but it will loose a little character. The game looks fire and the car list is promising and options are proper.

56

I love the concept but, No Miura San? I mean I love Morohoshi San but

57

hmfatlace Exactly, instead of working in a way for the car to drift for the newbies start working now on a way for us to have control over our own car. They talk all about customizing and make it our own (wich is so awesome btw) but it will never be our own if we can't control (fully) our car. And to EA and Speedhunters i ask how those icons would feel like if they had to drive and especially drift on an automatic? Anyways I've always loved the customization from very early and will be getting the game. If it doesn't make it as a racing game we'll have a "Customization Simulator", 'cause they did a really good job on that, no denying. (Work on the manual and patch it)

58
Magnuss Sterling

@ar Magnuss Sterling Not sure I know what you mean... Is that a comment about the lack of customisation in Most Wanted?

59
Magnuss Sterling

sasekiller hmfatlace Where do people get the information that there isn't going to be a manual transmission, or inside cam...?

60

Magnuss Sterling sasekiller hmfatlace It's not confirmed that there is but all the previous games didn't have it. So if there was manual it woulda been out by now.

61

kento_bento I completely agree with you but I'd just like to say that as a game developer, LOD means that I can render an entire planet which you can view from space with full weather simulations which you can then go down to the ground on all while simulating fairly accurate flight mechanics.

I think the main reason that this game doesn't have gt6 physics is because that's for a different type of game. I love my sim racers but when I'm playing a need for speed game I just want it to be easy and relaxing. That's what this game should deliver.

If the devs wanted to make a hyper realistic simulator with the customisation they're talking about in this game then they could probably do it, it just wouldn't be fun for everyone.

62

davidfryklind If the driving is like that of the new most wanted then I really won't complain. I found that game was a lot of fun to play even though it had the weird drifting mechanics and auto, it's just an easy game to sit back and play. When I want something more challenging I play project cars but it's still great to put some time into most wanted

63

oldschoolcat Unfortunately, we don't all have the time, money, expertise, materials, tools, space, physical/mental capability, or any given combination of those things to do that. I'd love to quit playing racing games and go do it for real, but my beater has been on jack stands for months because I lack five of those seven things.

also you're discredited for relating gaming to school shootings and depression.

64

Dhikaz Simple. Don't modify it.

65

Yas3rReaper Yesssss, fall for the fanservice...

66

Magnuss Sterling D1RGE worker bee But at least in those three, there WAS wheel support (just not FFB,) manual transmissions, and you weren't driving on ice all the time.

67

gotta buy a next gen console to play it, but hell it looks so good...

68

@Nobody Also discredited for posting it here. Who owns Speedhunters? The site is oen big advert. Fair play to EA for not banging the drum quite as hard as they could have, though.

70

ScottyG555 Ok, ill might have to accept the fact that not all games are trying to be the most realistic one when it comes to handling, thank you for reminding me! Ill definitely test it out, since these are the cars we all can relay to in one way or another, seeing them or the creators in person (actually almost bumped into Magnus Walker rounding a tent at last years Gatebil, he's taller than i thought..).
When it comes to handling ive gone from high end car simulations such as, Assetto Corsa and so on, to BeamNG. It simulates physics rather than cars, and if you have metal, alloys, rubber, glass etc thats acts like the correct material you will get the right handling of a vehicle as a bonus. Not saying other sims are not as good but i like this in particular. Have yet to test Projects Cars though ive followed its progress and the result and it seems to be up top.

71

I was actually really keen on this, I don't tend to enjoy the arcade type racing games usually but this seemed to be swaying me back to my younger gaming days. Now that I am hearing that there is no manual or wheels support I am completely uninterested. I know there are many out there who could care less but a game with all of these 'icons' should have these functionalities. Can you imagine a game that is promoting drifting not having wheel support and a manual box? I'll just go grab my auto S13 which has a PS4 d-pad as a steering wheel and take it for a spin shall I??? If the developers are listening they will add in this functionality in a later release NOT a later version of the game! Surely kids these day's have an expectation of this anyway?

72

6A13TTFelipe Where is S2000? :O am i blind?

73

No manual no care.

74

Magnuss Sterling The fact is, all the games you mentioned have manual as an option.

75

Haha on the same boat. Work 45 hours a week, got tennis, gym, church and other social activities I need to attend to and even when I think "dam I got enough time to work on my car" I can't because I don't have the knowledge, tools or money. I don't play many games, if I do its with friends to chill and have a few beers, not waste my life like this comment implies. I do agree though on some points, when you play games for to long it makes you feel like you wasting your life, particularly as you get older haha.

76

Bro5 Why not  just nfs Speedhunters.

77

Smiggins go back to jalopnik then.

78

I'll japanize my lambo in this game.

79

I'm honestly very sceptical about the real life characters in this game, it seems a bit cheesy and like it was done like that as a sales statement for hordes of pre pubescent teenagers to cling onto and buy the game because of it. I prefer games where I make my own story, am myself and choose what I wan to do or be associated with. I really really hope this game is as much about the cars and driving physics as it is about the cut scenes.

80

I am excited really! Can't wait! 

Hopefully, they'll put more cars in NFS through DLC's down the line.

83
Magnuss Sterling

sasekiller Magnuss Sterling hmfatlace Thats a rubbish source. Mechanofile bottom says all the others had it.... I seem to remember that too. Be it true or not, totally bullshit fact to base your opinion on.

84

Magnuss Sterling Mechanophile This NFS isn't going to have it, they said on their facebook page. Not having manual is not the only problem why people are whining. It won't have a cockpit camera and will be online only. Also the price is a bit too high, plus you also have to pay for DLCs.

85

Gary89 driving physics? in NFS game? say wut?

Magnuss Sterling sasekiller hmfatlace a youtuber, BlackPanthaa went to sweden to play need for speed when it was still a secret and he has been involved in with them for some time now and he also confirmed there will be no manual transmission ;)

D1RGE if you're going to buy project CARS you might as well just throw your money away because that game and the people that mad that game are shit..

91

I am incredibly excited for this game. For many reasons, but mainly because Speedhunters is so heavily involved in the project.

Thanks to speedhunters I am able to experience an sub culture level of car culture that I could never reach, or experience for myself. I don't drive or own a car. I don't have the opportunity to attend car shows. I can't travel very far and go experience other car people.
Speedhunters has expanded my horizons for so many years. And now thanks to this game, I can not only continue to expand those horizons, but I get to experience them by myself.

Even if only through a game, I will get to own and customize my dream car based on the car culture that I enjoy the most. Something that I could never do before. And for that, I thank you all.

Doesn't have to be a sim, I wouldn't expect that at all, but decent physics like forza or there older title "pro street" would be nice. I just don't want fwd cars drifting, cars doing wheelies on street tyres and that sorta thing.

96

I hope it has a good rock songs on it like Underground, Most Wanted, and Carbon. I hope some of the old track made it on there! I would love to hear Story of the Year, Lost Prophets, and Rise Against while playing the game!

Did they bring back the GTO or Monaro? If they did could EA please make the GTO an 06 not an 05. All you have to do is make the 05 have black tail lights to make it an 06.

Viperkiller there is a toyota supra in one of the trailers i think, so u can scratch that part :D

101

Please optimize this game properly for PC users, Rivals would've been a much better game with smooth 60 fps and no frame drops...

102

EvolveWRC This. The whole trend of limiting FPS based on Console ports is getting really old. Seriously, 60 FPS is standard for today's PCs with high-definition monitors. That, and steering wheel support in a PC racing game is also mandatory, no matter how popular gamepads may be elsewhere.

103

Lost prophets ?? Nah man the lead singer was a sick puppy

104

Hi everybody, I dont really understand the mechanics of alla this, but even though there probably might be a lot of reasons to hate it, the only real thing you can do is just put up with it. In the end, some folks are gonna like it and some wont, but that doesn't mean you have to keep arguing about it. Just live life your way, and thats all that matters. BTW, you can make your own choices in the game, so ther'll be quite a variety of things to choose from

105

The last thing I'll say is this: I don't trust EA. They have milked the Need for Speed cash cow so many times (and screwed fans over in the process), I wouldn't pre-order this game even if they promised an actual car as the pre-order bonus. I want to believe that this will be the title that will finally bring back the days of Underground and Most Wanted. But it's EA. And that, sadly, could be what kills this game.

I'm concerned because we haven't seen a lot of actual game physics outside of some demo footage, all shot in the 'cinematic' camera view. This view shakes and rolls the camera around in a manner that makes analyzing the actual game physics nearly impossible. We also aren't shown any collisions in the trailers above, making it hard to judge just how the collision system will work. We also haven't seen any extensive damage models, which means if it's possible to damage the car at all, we'll only get the same pre-planned destruction models that were present in titles like Pro-Street.

But by far, the biggest thing that has be concerned about this title is micro-transactions. Dead Space 3 was a full triple-A title that EA still managed to shoehorn micro-transactions into. The last thing I want is to be sold a triple-A game at full price that won't stop asking for more of my money. Especially if the items they try to charge for are fan-favorite cars or performance parts that are necessary to be able to compete in multiplayer.

Basically, so long as the game is bug-free, doesn't hound me for more money in-game, has decent physics, and doesn't suffer from OP multiplayer cars (MR2 from World, and Corvette C-6 from Carbon), I'll be happy to spend $60 to satisfy my speed craving. But only after the game has launched and been out long enough to prove it's not a complete load of steaming crap.

106

Smokey Nagata or Daijiro  would have been perfect fits for the Speed Icon, but not many people know about them these days.

107

If this game isn't frame unlocked to allow 144Hz/1080P or 120Hz/1440P gameplay with G-Sync or Freesync, and doesn't have SIGNIFICANTLY better image quality on PC than the console version (cougforzacough), I will write off EA permanently. The only game I play on Origin (soon to be folded into EA as well *facepalm*) is Battlefield 3. What a waste.

KadeemEiland D1RGE I have played it and it's exactly what the Shift series was aiming for, but EA wouldn't give them the budget to do it right.
Are you also going to tell me that rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa are crap too? All 3 are vastly superior to anything on console. Far better than Forza, better than GT6. Hell, rFactor feels a hell of a lot better than those. Please elaborate on what you would suggest as better?


Those 4 games are as real as it gets. when I want to drive a car in a game, I want it to feel like a car. I really don't care how the car looks as long as it drives correctly. EA has stripped the game of any need for that, as they won't support wheels anymore, making all users use the worst method of driving - a hand controller. There is no possible way to make a hand-held controller feel anything like driving a car.

115

Thanks for the support and I agree but can you give me some games with the level of detail you used as an example. I just wanted to try it out myself (for fun).
I briefly touched on what you said, it wouldn't make any sense to make a game that is unapproachable to the majority of gamers. I understand GT/ Project Cars is just that but they also don't sell as much compared to typical NFS titles.

A clothes dealer responsible for the price hike in Porsche's, the worst rally driver ever, a guy who butchers Porsche's with a hacksaw, idiots who drift on public roads and a bleached criminal who sticks neon on Lambos. Truly these are icons...

@Nate Sorry, but the only racing title I can remember that was released without steering wheel support for the PC was Juiced: Hot Import Nights. Funny how nobody seems to remember that game...

It's a racing game. It's on the PC. Steering wheels are kind of a big deal. Maybe not for the console crowd, but for PC it is.

Leaving out steering wheel support makes just as much sense as an arcade flight game without joystick support. It's mandatory if you want your game to be a successful crossover title. And since this is Need for Speed, there is no reason for them to start leaving it out since they have always been good (mostly) about including it in the past.

AfroGTO And if they bring back the 'Cuda, I would love to see the 70s quad-headlight 'Cuda, instead of the 60s dual-headlight version.

hmfatlace I DON'T understand when people whine 'it's too much to do'. If it's too much than those people are too young or too noob to play a racing game.

ivanalt Magnuss Sterling Mechanophile and for as far as we can see right now, the physics will suck like always. I don't say that u2 or mw (original) were realistic, but those were fun to play. NFS series has become one big milking cow for EA. It's a shame. 
And coming back Magnuss Sterling first comment, it's like new fifa, but they remove the sprint option. That would suck, wouldn't it?

@ShitIsOnTheNipple Oh, just piss off. You don't have to buy the game if you don't want to

spdcrzy Why do you care so much about PC image quality as opposed to consoles? Are you that pigheaded about your "master race" that you won't play a good game just because of the graphics?

129

Why is it that so many people care about playing in 60fps? It's not subtracting from the gameplay and while it does look nice while it works, the amount of frame drops I've experienced in every single game I've played in 60fps is just annoying

Fwd's never behave the same as rwd drift cars, the bum slides but then there's no push out of the corners like a proper rwd drift car. If fwd drift cars behaved like fwd drift cars in the game and not like rwd cars I'd be ok with that. Also I wouldn't call massive drag slicks street tyres.. Where I from you not even allowed a proper semi slick on the road let alone a slick.

SeBaBunea Why can't they have a full car roster at release? I don't want to pay to have an R32 GTR, while the game ships with 6 different types of Lamborghini Huracan.

Risky Devils will be the icon for me D-Style yo

steelclaw42 Think about it this way. If you bought an X-box One specifically for the next-gen graphics, but the title you bought was released across both the X-box 360 AND the X-box One, yet your graphics capability was handicapped to the limitations of the 360, would you not be slightly pissed?

PC gamers usually chose their platform over consoles because they have fewer restrictions, and when a new generation of games come out, they can simply upgrade individual components rather than buying a completely new system. We like options that allow us to make use of our full arsenal of hardware.

But when a game is released as a "cross-platform" title, and is restricted to the limitations of the console version when our custom machines are capable of so much more? It's like the developers just spit on the $400+ graphics card I bought so I could experience their game in maximum detail.

Sorry to say it, but Consoles still aren't capable of the same graphics fidelity that PCs can produce. That's not arrogance. It's just the truth.

@ShitIsOnTheNipple 
Exactly my thoughts. What about Bisi Ezerioha? Smokey Nagata? Keiichi Tsuchiiya? Nobuteru Taniguchi? THOSE GUYS are icons. Magnus's a try-hard poser, Block couldn't deliver at the height of rally driving and an actual mobster who lives his life by the Bieber-esque motto of "HURR DURR, LOVE TO HATE ME".
You really screwed it up with this SH. One customer less.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-new-need-for-speed-for-xbox-oneps4pc-is-always/1100-6429594/

They claim it's for the autolog feature and the ability to have random snapshots posted to community hubs, but I know better. It's EA...

The ONLY reason to gut any sort of single-player offline mode from a game like this is simple. So people can't keep playing it when the next NFS title comes out. EA is notorious for flat-lining games by shutting down their dedicated servers, and that is exactly what will happen to this game. And it's all in the name of money. If they can force the Need for Speed populace to continually migrate to their new titles rather than stick to the old games they actually enjoyed, they can guarantee a continued income off the series that they have almost killed numerous times.

It's a sick and twisted move that I would claim borders on unethical game design. But that's just EA. So I guess that's just 'normal' for them.

Its because EA wants consumers to be able to pick up and play the game for more money. They made it more arcadey to make it more accsesible to everyone. But this should be an option like its always been and its irritating to me to bud and there wont be any wheel support i think.
And recently comfirmed that the game will require u to be online to play the game.wow

So now im hearing we need to be constantly online, thanks EA for considering the populace of the world that has either slow signals or outdated connections due to thier areas or other OBVIOUS issues that apply to everyday people. I love need for speed but this is starting to look like just a pretty game. We need to hear some justice on this matter. And someone needs to straighten out what the hell is REALLY goin on with this is game.

Hi all) Hello from Belarus, and sorry for my bad english!
I looked at some video demos of the game.
driving the car looks unnatural, as if brick on the road. The same can be said about the damage during the ram any heavy objects.
The best drift and damage I have seen in Race Driver GRID 1 part.
Show all possible tuning of the car at the beginning of the game - a bad idea.
Players need in a variety of tuning, vinyls, decals for maximum individuality of your car.
This is best for me is an old game: Street legal racing Redline.
I play it a couple of years and this is the best game of the customizing cars.
