    Hey guys, sorry for the lack of announcements n stuff. I was going to upload a video last week but my new video card broke. Since i'm under warranty i shipped it back yesterday and should be making videos again next week. About NFSMW All Removed Content, yes that is in development (the scripts are freaking long).
    Although, not alot of scripts are finished yet because of other concerns + laziness. When the vid is about 50 percent done a teaser will show up.
    The slow development of the video isn't very good as MW All Removed Content is going to be 10x more work than U2 ARC. (took me 6 hours of non stop writing to finish the cars script) When i get my video card i'll work on it immedieatley.
    The editing is planned to be overhauled from the other vids. I heard alot of people saying they would prefer narration over text, so i am planning to do voice overs for smaller vids, and see what people will think.
    Vids will (from time to time) have different narrators to add variety. HGCentral is still going to voice MW ARC and planning to improve from U2's video. NFSMW All Removed Content is going to be the best video i have ever made and it will probaly stay that way.....
    Thanks for reading my rambling

    i dont get why NFSMW2012 got so much hate, i liked it. but seeing this video proves to me that Criterion wanted to bring us back to the old NFS days. Speedbreaker? Cooldown spots? A freaking storyline? they wanted to give us all this but couldn't because of EA. A real shame this idea doesnt exist

      @Xeno's Sunset No one blames Black Box, Criterion or Ghost or whatever company tries to make a game in time for EA. EA just sets a too short deadline. They destroy themselves. The issue is the new kids generation only cares about graphics.

    • @rlas
      @rlas 5 років тому +7

      @Xeno's Sunset There is nothing good at that game. You have to pay for 100% content and you don't even have Customisation like in older games. This game is lower than Undercover. EA fuckes themself with this games that have not even quality at all. But i guess you are a Console gamer so you are used to pay more for extra content

    • @rlas
      @rlas 5 років тому +23

    This video was a real eye opener! As a long time fan of NFS, I always thought that the guys at Criterion were kinda dicks when they were making the NFS games. Like trying to make them too much like Burnout forgeting what Need For Speed was all about. As it turned out, they were actually ready to pay homage to the older games but due to time constrains, usual EA dickery and such they didnt have a chance! Sad that Most Wanted 2 didnt reach its full potential. Looks like Criterion Games pretty much suffered the same fate as Black Box too.

    Alot of people have probably realized this, but most of the cut stuff is in the mobile version. Money, corvette, grand cherokee, m3 GTR, hummer H1 alpha, garage, and the takedown camera. I kinda think that the mobile version was finished before the console.

    I think the Idea of following MW2005 wasn't scraped by criterion. It was EA. It looks like they want to scrap everything theyve done in past, they just want to make money on DLC's not the game themselves... I want some Old fashioned Tuning and race game, not some "buy DLC" to play games which are developed nowadays. I want old Need for speed, not the sh-t produced today

    • @Ilx_Jay
      @Ilx_Jay 7 років тому +26

      SonNY3600 You cant blame criterion at all honestly. Judging from the video, they were planning on doing a direct sequel with all the feauteres black box games had. But because EA rushed them, They had to scrap the whole sequel entirely. This is why need for speed should be in the hands of a different publisher. So devs can take their time making an ambitious game

      MrNayru It would have gone way to far into development for them to add licensed cars and it wouldn't have been in burnout because the whole fun of the game was the crashing and more manufactures don't like it when you make their car into the ultimate killing device !

    It has got to be the most hilarious title in the series. By default, it's the most fun in the series, only because it is jam packed with insane action that you never get bored of which is what I liked most about the game. But looking at this cut content makes me sad because of how great the game could have been. I think it had the potential to be the best game in the series.

    But this game have a lot of sentimental value since my parents bought me the "Day 1 edition" (Actually called limited edition) it came with a code for 2 black mate cars (Maseratti GT and a Porsche 911) and 12 hours of double SpeedPoints.
    The game almost a year after it release another limited edition came out with 6 mate black cars...and one of them was the Catherham.

    Hey, I can tell you one thing; I played a build of NFS 2012 at a local gaming event which is hosted at the first week of September every year. This was the september of 2012 and I was surprised to see a build of MW there and I did manage to play it. Obviously I didn't record it but I can tell you that I did find the old Corvette car. What's even more bizarre was that I first played the build in an extremely slow Nissan Tida. I can also tell you that I found the Corvette in the edge of the map near the coal mine, in a container that was on some sort of boat. That's all I remember from 5 years ago.

      You were correct about the Corvette Stingray 428 having a jackspot near the cole mine. In the E3 build it also is somewhere near the colemine. IIRC the Corvette also has a jackspot somewhere near Downtown/the large highway bridge.

    while I would have enjoyed this title actually living up to its "Most Wanted" namesake, I'm glad that the "Tech" or weapons did not make into the final game. I'm not saying I wouldn't have enjoyed them because having that element in the game would open up the battle between cops & the player. But as far as multiplayer goes it is aggravating enough when somebody in a Bugatti rams into you with Ram pro + impact protection pro when you are switching cars/customizing/changing paint. Keep up the awesome videos +GrandTheftAero they always make me look at a game I found fun and think "what if?"

    Let's be honest people. IF. And I mean a very big *IF*, they would have kept all of the stuff that was shown in this video, and Criterion would have actually paid homage to Most Wanted 2005, people would have still bitched and moaned about it. "Bawwww... It wasn't as good as Most Wanted 05'... Blackbox did a better job..." "Bawwwww. The psychics is too much like Burnout..." "Bawwww... It just isn't the saaaaaame... Most Wanted 05' FTW!!!"
    Gamers these days have such thick nostalgia googles on, they'll just still continue to beg for a HD remake and right off the newer game as being "awful" and "shit"... So I'm gonna be the one to say it... Time to move on people... We don't know what we want anymore.. The Need For Speed fanbase has transformed into the Sonic fanbase... We the fans also have to take part blame for making the NFS series suffer... Not just EA and Criterion...

    It's sad to see that we could have gotten something so ambitious and overwhelming, yet most likely because of their publisher it came out as a half-assed Burnout reskin claiming to be NFS. The game was still pretty fun, just didn't feel like an NFS title. I'm sure that if they were to finish what they first pictured, it would still be pretty controversial, but it could have been one of their greatest games, the best even.

    If everything in the video is true, why didn't EA do what Ubisoft did with The Crew - no, a better example, what PD did with GT Sport and delay the game until further notice?
    Look - MW 2012 is one of the first NFS I've ever played on PC and it'll always have a soft spot in my heart. However that being said it's further down the order on NFSs that I've enjoyed. This looks like it was going to be an awesome game.

    2. bug testing. The bigger the content, the more bug people rant on the internet.
    3. Just save the concepts for next nfs series. Example : nfs rivals, which has more weapons than mw 2012

      2. Plausible, but they had ample development time - they even had time to create a story but then turn it into Burnout Paradise w/ real cars
      3. Rivals didn't have most of the weapons MW2012 was originally planned with.

I felt MW 12 though was just thrown together last minute. It felt just like NFSHP 10 and NFS rivals... I think they did get somewhere with the new NFS like with the customization, races, crew, and a garage and a little story... I wonder if it were up to black box what they would have done instead...

Sure, the story has its cliches and very noticeable, but I am very impressed they were going for a story than what we got at release. It's not fun grinding and getting the most Most Wanted points at all, plus. The game would have been too dark to say the least.
    And, thus why I won't buy a single EA game at retail prices anymore.

    I think this video gives up hope for nfs 2017. Why you may ask? Think about it, the reason why most content got cut out in Need for Speed because the devs spent all the time building a foundation for an ambitious game. Now think like this, Need for Speed 2015 was barebones but its good because now Ghost Games have a Foundation to build on. So all they have to do is have nfs 2015 with much more added content such as more cars, customization, pursuit feautures, better race gameplay AND Better story line. I think ghost can potentially put out the greatest NFS to date if they build up from NFS 2015. 2015 was the foundation and 2017 could have all the features Criterion could have put into MW 2012
    This is my theory...

Adding what they did in NFS 2015 with new mechanics, add new game modes (drag, drift bla, bla, bla), along you progress in the game there will be easter eggs or clues to find the story behind the BMW and his owner and what happened at the end that made the owner leave the car there(that would be cool actually).But what I would like is that instead of buying cars, you should upgrade yours and try to beat harder rivals, gain the money the hard way.

    Since Criterion is taking over for NFS again after EA got rid of Ghost, for some reason, they should be given another chance at making a direct sequel to Most Wanted 2005 whilst ignoring EA's stupid orders. I want them to take their time and put their best effort in making a Most Wanted 2 game. All this cut content proves it would've been an amazing game.
    Also, 10:21 looks reminiscent of the MW 2005 start screen.

    Maaan this video just explained why EA are hated..they should have let em take as much time as they want.(see cyberpunk 2077 for example) and they shouldn't have removed anything from the game
    If they have done so the game would have Been a work of art and would probably even be a best selling

    The Semi trucks from MW05 were cut. You can find this in the pause menu in the about section in the police codes list. It says Tractor Trailer Spill.

    This game is the type of game where you finish it and you get depressed when you go back to play it again.
