there abandoning everything that made NFS series great >_<...its becoming another PGR or GT driving sim....i do not approve >:(

This. How come everything has to be about graphics in driving games now? Sure, pretty cars sell. But I think innovative gameplay should sell more.

Problem is the majority of racing fans want realism, thats why GT and Forza sell millions more than their closest rivals.

 

Sure, Racing fans may like realism. But Mario Kart Wii says otherwise. I can't see why developers can't balance innovation with realism. It seems to be one extreme, or the other.

 

I agree. I love Mario Kart (although recent playthrough of the wii version has me wanting to now kill Shigeru Miyamoto, the wii version is a big F**k you to all Mario Kart fans). But also I love Racers. It's the in between games that I never ever like. NFS at least for me has always been meh. The only game that has done suedo realism with huge chunks of arcade right is Grid.

Grid is possibly my fave racing game this gen. It was brilliant. Hopefully Shift is Grid on steroids.

Sorry bout Mario Kart Wii input here. I can absolutely say that Mario Kart Wii is not Mario Kart at all.
