thats so true. 

What exactly is the difference between underground and most wanted that came out now?

The right game at the right time.

Underground was really enjoyable, no doubt. But like Rol said, it rode the wave of street racing that Fast & Furious had made famous at the time.

I suspect a new Underground game would be a decent move, because people would buy it on title alone. But I don't expect it to reach anywhere near the heights of the first two.

eh the Fast & Furious is now bigger than ever, so while I also don't think that Underground 3 would sell 10m, it surely wouldn't be a bad move.

Hmm, looking at the gross for the films, you're probably right.  

I seem to remember the first 2 or so Fast & Furious films being such a big deal at the time.  But I suppose I was in high school :P

Regardless, I agree.  I don't think there's any way it would be a bad move for EA.  Who knows, maybe they're saving it for something in particular.

I'm not sure Criterion would be the best people to work on it, though.  I don't think their brand of arcade design would suit the Underground name much.  Black Box would be much better to develop it, but I believe they've been turfed off the NFS franchise for the time being?

To be honest Fast&Furious changed a lot since the 1st 2/3 movies.
Today its about fighting in the Favelas with the Rock and stuff....Did we see a 1/4 mile race in Fast Five?
The older movies were far more concerned about cars,tuning and driving while today they aren't.
Thats my feeling when i watched them - They were far more action oriented with the last few movies.

Only watched the first 2, even though I own all 5 :P

Becase EA want NFS fans to experience The Run

Need for speed underground 3 would be popular on the wii U and since EA hate Nintendo they don't want to help them sells consoles, typical EA scumbags

it could be b/c they think the tuner scene is so early 2000

or b/c black box went under studio aint what it was

imo criterion has no idea how to make racing games and should try something else, racing games shouldnt be about finding build boards to crash through and watching crash cut scenes over and over set off with just a 25mph tap

both HP and recent MW are imo one of the biggest fails this gen both had no story, free roam in HP was pointless, the cop chases in MW where underwhelming since there are no pursuit breakers or speed breakers as well as both having very limited to no customization, users meta speak for themselfs

it boggles my mind that with this gen and the power of these consoles PS360 that there couldnt be a street racer with customization, descent cop chases, and a noteworthy sp with progression that we saw with last gens NFSs

its also not even just NFS but there are a few genres and series that completely lost this gen, well at least i got 05s NFS MW on PC modded to hell to still keep me happy
