It appears this is a remake of the original Most Wanted with Burnout-style gameplay, which is ideal for an arcade racing game.
As said on the NFS twitter page, The blacklist returns with 10 drivers you are competiting against in career mode. The focus is gonna be more on free roam and multiplayer so don't expect cutscenes in the way they were made in MW1. Overall, this looks like the First NFS game actually worth getting since... Most Wanted.
So it's back to causing mayhem through city streets in fast and exotic sportscars while being chased by the police without the horrible oversized spoilers and bumpers and your wannabe action-movie stereotypical bad-asses?!? Good times are ahead...
I love how the NFS series has been running in circles ever since Most Wanted. Tuning yes, tuning no, cops yes, cops no, extra (stupid) powerups are the way.. oh, wait, they're not, and now it seems like they resurrected NFS 3... or HP 2... or the "second" HP without powerups. I wonder how can this series still make money...
