    the racing style looks a blend of drag racing and burnout paradise style arcade.
    looks good, i signed up :D

    if i m not mistaken theres already a title in the racing MMO genre,' Torque'..not the most attractive game but its fun

    Excellent! I've loved Need For Speed from way back when... And it great that it is free, but looks like I'm going to have to shell out for a new vifeo card :)

    A free online service from EA? Interesting

    I like the game itself, but this actual F2P will be even better and can help further the user community. Need for Speed is one of the most popular games, and I think this will further it even more. Especially the F2P availability for it.

    Is there a premium version, or at least one planned?

    "While Need for Speed World is free to play, dedicated racers can use real money to buy in-game goods..."

    HA! I knew it, lol. Nothing like this is ever free. When I saw the words "free to play" I immediately thought "free-to-play...pay to upgrade" just like in all these annoying myspace and facebook apps.

    This is just like every other MMO where people waste money on fake stuff that does no good (can't you tell how much I hate these types of things? lol)

    I will play this game as I enjoy the NFS games, but i'm not paying to upgrade a virtual car.

    considering there hasn't been a decent NFS title in at least 10 years, i think i'll pass...

    WOW, nice graphics and free. sweet i'm going to check it out, and download it. I'v been a NFS fan since late 90's and own about 10 car games.

    Well it pretty much is the same thing though - as you have to be online all the time to be able to play it ? They were just smarter in how they phrased the wording then EA or Ubisoft

    I just watched the video, it looks pretty neat and the MMO thing looks interresting, I'm going to try it when I get home.

    Yeah how would you race in an MMo? without an instance type system. Some other driver could come slam into you guys while racing?! lol!!

    this might be interesting... im gonna be looking forward to this... the only thing i dont like is the money spending crap for better item... those always ruin the game since their at least 1 person that will spend 500$ on item and own you...
  17. Looks pretty fail! i was getting pretty excited about this mmo but i think ill spend my dreaming to TDU2! **** need for speed. They have been going down since after Need for speed Hot pursuit 2. That was the last of the good need for speeds. All the other predacessors suck so much. The games now are for 5 year olds that dont know **** about cars that like stickers and auto catchup.
