lol good to know he wasnt vague about it....

[Zincous]

That means same time 3.0 comes out. "summer"

I know someone will probably say why are you in this topic if you stopped caring, but I just wanted to post this:


I stopped caring a while ago. This is EA. Real Racing and 2XL will (I predict with my EA sux ball) be better products anyway. And I know you guys have seen how the graphics of NFS have devolved. Boo. I'll say it again, EA sux. But Dead Space and Mirror's Edge don't.

[Slayer_megadeth]

1) Topic should be in Upcoming games section

2) I'm still looking forward to it. Hopefully it is better than the N-Gage version, which btw sucks donkey balls

[arta]

2XL Supercross and Real Racing will make it the laughing stock of the Appstore.

[Tower Defender]

Oh this game is still coming? I thought they canceled it or something. Good to know.

[The Bat Outta Hell]

Nice find! I can't wait for it, so it better be perfect if I gotta wait like 3 more months.

[rik555]

thanks but it's all a bit anticlimactic for me now and I'm as excited about NFS as I am for ifart2 on the app store...aka NOT EXCITED! TOO LATE!

[Sainter]

I still don't get why people are fed up.

EA stated that they were releasing NFS, they never said WHEN... we created the rumours ourselves.

I am really looking forward to this game, the first pictures have looked amazing, and it isn't even the final build yet.

[crapz1967]

LOL, and originally they wanted to release it with the console versions in September :D...

No they never said they were. It was all speculation. No firm dates have been provided by EA ever since they announced it

[Kamazar]

You're all complaining now, but I know over 2/3 of you are gonna get it on release. Even though you say you're tired, you're still waiting ;)

[TideTime]

Well that narrows it down... :)

I'll put in a guess for July.

I have played almost every NFS version ever made and some were great and some are actually pretty boring. The iPhone version looks a lot like the PSP versions that tended to be on the boring side IMO. NFSU was the best version hands down with drift, drag, street races and all of the car customizations including paint and all of the logos, etc. My next fav was Hot Pursuit. Driving the Lambo at 200MPH with the cops chasing you then hitting a 50 ft jump was just insanely fun.

Shift is the one that I am most looking forward to right now. Oh and Dirt 2. Totally off topic but most of the iPhone games tend to forget about the "fun" factor. I would rather play Ridge Racer on the iPhone with its on rails type driving - the accelerometer pretty much sucks. Cool the first time but then leaves you feeling out of control.

I hope 3.0 brings us wireless controllers. I would love to have an XBox360 type controller that could go anywhere!

We didn't create the rumors. Here are the sources.

Release in December: http://www.buymeaniphone.com/2008/10/11/need-for-speed-game-coming-to-the-iphone/
Release in Early March: http://www.slidetoplay.com/story/need-for-speed-undercover-delayed-until-march

These were from some pretty good sources - so yeah, I'm totally fed up. I bought a gift card months ago and I was actually saving up till March - now I've already bought something.

I don't know how Craiglaw can even show himself in these forums any more. From his Twitter posts, you'd think there was never a problem with NFS getting delayed at all!

[Varkman]

Hmm the release slippage is unfortunate but the timing of summer is a little too coincidental - 3.0 is out then.

With Firemint implementing some seriously cool social functioanlity into Real Racing I wouldn't be surprised if EA were using this time to improve their own product to take advantage of the new features 3.0 offers.

You can complain about the delay but don't you think its worth it if you're going to get a superior game and more bang for your buck? It's not like there is a shortage of quality iPhone games at the moment ;)

Also there is a lot of hate towards EA, has been for some time now but at the end of the day they are a company like any other that need to make money to survive. I think they've been taking some really positive steps lately with new IP such as Mirrors Edge and Deadspace and their commitment to the iPhone is another that deserves commending :)

[inferi22]

im not excited about this game but has anyone else realized that this game is worse with release dayes than super smash bros. brawl

[crimson.]

I thought they cancelled this auto-accellerating piece-o-crap excuse for a game? Oh well. More app store clutter I suppose...

[theone1007]

HA! I can't believe you guys are still excited about this game. Personally, I'm mad at EA for taking so long and this game is just not something that I want. BOOOO...

[touch32g]

i remeber back in like november or somthing when they released the new ipod touch they showed a few new games and they showed neeed for speed and they aid it would be out later that year

[chukwuka13]

After heraring this info, I will stop paying attention to it. I will still probably buy the game when it comes out if no other racers come out that allow you to costomize ur car. Because they kept stalling this game they will lose busness to games like real racing, 2KL, and other good racers that come out before it does.

[manolis]

This is what will happen:
1. When it comes out in July, someone is going to give a review and i believe it will be a good one. You cant possibly tell me that they are finished with the game and just delaying it to get on our nerves.
2. After the review almost EVERYONE on this thread will buy it. End of story.

I'm very annoyed that it has been delayed almost a year but its for a reason and i am still very anxious to get my hands on the game. Even if you have "given up on buying it" if its good, ur still gonna buy it.

TRUEEEE....but really WILL it be good? That's the question. What if this game totally fails and crashes all of those people's hopes and dreams on this game? EA has delayed it so much and created so much hype that if they make one mistake, this game is going down the drain.

actually, at the stevenote phill schiller said and i quote, "coming in november"
to bad we had no idea he meant 2009
:p

[randomdude]

That sucks

[nuggetsman28]

i think im speaking for just about everyone when i say....nobody cares about nfs anymore!!

[mrbass]

summer extends for the whole months of December, January and February

I can wait till December but still think it won't be out till Valentine's Day though myself.

[Big Albie]

Need for Speed...who knew that title would be so ironic.

[theone1007]

++++1

Don't care anymore about NFS. Even though I'll probably still get it, I don't feel the need to get it for 9.99 anymore. Maybe 5.99 or something but not 9.99. Before, many customers were willing to pay that full price but now,, I don't even know if people will buy it for 5.99. You killed the hype EA, you killed the hype...

I'll never buy it.

[dogmeat]

Getting anxious about buying stuff is the problem with america today.

[nuggetsman28]

I'll never buy it.

amen brother....amen....

[jchampl]

I'll never buy it.

i wont either.

[chukwuka13]

The main reason EA is getting on my nerves is because at one time they anounced all the games that were in development(probably about 12 title were anounced) while they haven't even finished their first onee. That really killed it for me. Its like they don't even care about finishing it.

[dannys95]

I'll never buy it.

unless it's really really good neither will i bro

[dmbfan1192]

I'll never buy it because smaller devs/publishers like Firemint are actually working hard to put out racing games on time that are as good as NFS. Real Racing is supposed to come out this month and they are getting my money, not EA just because they're a big publisher. Don't get me wrong though; it's going to make a s***load of money.

[Random_Guy]

There's already too many racing games on the Appstore, and there's still more to come.

NFS has better be superb, otherwise I'm giving it a miss.
