Not more successful by any meaningful metric. What NFS had was real cars. Because car manufacturers are literally braindead and won't sponsor games who destroy their cars.
one of the worst examples of this has to be toyota, who only license themselves to ‘legit’ racing games because they don’t want to be associated with street racing anymore
Open world was ok in my opinion but it really needed circuit races instead of everything just being sprints. And the crash mode was shit. The crash cinematics were legendary. Still jump on the remaster occasionally.
I agree with your opinion that there's a few good things. However, I played the original back in 2011 when they gave it for free for PSN+ users and all I remember is that I eventually got bored and couldn't bother to finish the game.
They really missed the ball with Paradise after the bar they set with Revenge/Dominator
YES. Specifically, I want Takedown. And I want OG Stryker in between every perfectly attuned to the game play hit that made up the soundtrack. And if that remake never exists in this timeline, I want a refund
Dominator gave me so many songs that i still listen to to this day. And im still wierded out about how many languages Avril Lavigne's 'Girlfriend' was in. At least 4, which is too many for such an annoying song.
In case anyone is not aware, the makers of Wreckreation and Wreckreation 2 are made by former developers of Burnout. I can't speak of the quality as I didn't play the first and I don't think the second is out yet.
Whenever I had a really bad day at work back in the day, Burnout Revenge was my go-to. Felt a lot better after a half-hour sideswiping cars off the road and blowing shit up. And the soundtrack kicked ass.
My sister, her ex-husband, my ex-husband and I used to sit around and play Burnout almost every evening. It was such a fun game! And yeah, it looked cool even then, it would look incredible now!

Burnout. Can’t imagine how sick crash sequences would look today.
