Compared to the last game
As familiar asNeed for Speed Paybacklooks — it’s beendescribed as“Need for Speedfiltered through the lens of a Hollywood blockbuster” — I might still be up for it. There’s nothing inherently wrong with some mindless action now and again. At least, this speaks to me more than 2015’sNFStitle.
Following that scripted-lookingheist sceneout of E3, Ghost Games is showing off customization.
When you’re roaming the world, you’ll be able to find “derelicts” that you may turn from rusted-out vintage cars to souped-up monsters. And aside from stat-boosting part upgrades,Paybackwill also let you go overboard with vanity items like underglow, nitrous flames, and even tire smoke.
Need for Speedhas become one of those series that I just can’t get a consistent read on anymore, which means I’ll probably be stuck in wait-and-see mode right up until release on November 10. The single-player campaign is playable offline this time, though, so that’s one concern out of the way.
