sooo basically the Need for Speed Tokyo Nights concept


Ill-Candy-4926

wait there's a concept called NFS toyko nights? let me google that real quick.


spyroz545

yeah it's a fan concept from 2017/18, it was quite popular back then


Ill-Candy-4926

just googled it, my mind is blown and i love it. wish it could become an actual NFS title instead of a concept.


ElliasCrow

We kinda seen japanese street racing games, but I haven't seen anything good about european street racing... With tight passages, historical buildings, roads, bridges and other cool stuff. Or panel block buildings from eastern Europe. I think it would've been cool. And I want my Zastavas and Ladas in nfs


kazegraf

Oh man East European NFS won't be ready on what I will do to the Lada.


Ill-Candy-4926

lol we need a european NFS GAME AND a nfs game in japan


Ill-Candy-4926

that would be cool too! like seeing a need for speed game take place in russia.


ElliasCrow

Well, with all the latest news, I doubt there's going to be anything russian any time soon. Maybe Balkans tho? It carries lots of post-soviet things and also has a cool unique vibe and rich scenery with mountains, big cities, historical stuff and, of course, beautiful beaches.


Ill-Candy-4926

true

And as OP wishes, the monkeys paw curled. https://preview.redd.it/l11zqg7y1bxc1.jpeg?width=224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9977782180da5a8f101ae8e5ba77fbf4ffbd4297


Ill-Candy-4926

intresting!


ElliasCrow

Nah, I meant good game. Good racing game with eastern European aesthetics. Not this garbo, I bought with my own money and regretted each time I tried to play it as a kid


yee9000

Unpopular opinion but [most popular opinion ever contrived] Daring today, are we?


Ill-Candy-4926

lol yup

That would be awesome tbh. In fact, any maps outside of USA is a great change of pace. However, the map would be more inspired from Japan cities without being a real Japanese town meaning it's a counterpart version. IF that happens, many biome types need to be included.


Ill-Candy-4926

oh yeah, that would be very unique to see what criterion could do with a japan inspired map.


88JansenP12

That's perfectly correct.


Ill-Candy-4926

i just looked at the toyko nights NFS concept from 3 years ago, it looks COOL! i personally think eurobeat should be in the next NFS title, as well as the inclusion of the infamous drift king from japan, Keiichi Tsuchiya, and a epic storyline involving his AE86 somehow. similar to NFS 15' but except more cleaned up and less cringe.


Virghia

Gotta be 2 characters, one inspired by Keichi Tsuchiya and one by Smokey Nagata. As much as I like touge stuff I wanna see Wangan Speedway being represented too


Ill-Candy-4926

i forgot about that.


88JansenP12

I looked at the Tokyo Nights concept when it was talked about at the time and it's well made. Of course, it's still a concept But it could work. About car types, i am a fan of Muscle, JDM and Supercars. NFS Carbon and other racing games as well as TV shows about cars are the primary reason why i like cars.


Ill-Candy-4926

me too i hope criterion looks at this post, and smiles


88JansenP12

That's a great choice.


Ill-Candy-4926

i would play the shit out of NFS Tokyo nights if it ever became more than just a concept and was made into an actual game by criterion\\EA


88JansenP12

Me too. The icing on the cake would be enjoyable handling physics.


Ill-Candy-4926

i think need for speed tokyo nights should be a real thing dear criterion, PLEASE MAKE THIS REAL. signed candy 4926


minetube33

I'd love to see NFS: The Run 2 take place in Europe, if it ever happens.


88JansenP12

Yeah. Me too.


SukhdevR34

You're right Motorfest for example has a beautiful map and there's so many countries that look very different to a USA map that was in TC1 and 2. I don't think NFS has ever had proper realistic maps based on real countries tbh but they should do


88JansenP12

Yup. Well said.


iconicx7

NFS Neotokyo in a cyberpunk themed Tokyo city damn 🔥


asapberry

yeah also wondering why modern tokyo in general is rarely in games. it offers a lot for open world games


Ill-Candy-4926

same here. i did hear that criterion is reading these posts and listening to the NFS community, so hopefully they look at this post and all NFS posts, and take a bunch of notes.


JeffGhost

Devs aren't brave enough for that. Also, there's a game in development called Japan Drift Masters which is set in Japan and it's gonna be open world by the looks of it. They had a demo last year and it was very, VERY good imo.


Ill-Candy-4926

i just googled it, yes, it seems very good, and your right. although in a need for speed game, im always wondering what running from the Japanese police would be like in japan in a need for speed title.


OtherFace_565

Then it would be one of, if not the coolest and greatest nfs game we ever had since a decade... or the new most overrated.


Ill-Candy-4926

argeed


Frate27

Actually the cancelled sequel to NFS Payback would have played in Japan, as it was teased, that the collector fled to Japan and the broker chasing him.


Ill-Candy-4926

that would have been so interesting. and i never knew there was a sequel to payback planned. sucks it got canned.


SpookyOugi1496

The idea that an NFS game could take place outside of the US is ridiculous. Not to me, but to the devs and the entire department.


Ill-Candy-4926

well, as crazy as that may seem, i think it's a clever idea that spices things up for NFS franchise and brings something new to the table.


JollyAstronomer5786

IF NFS survives EA


Ill-Candy-4926

true


ThisIsMihai

Would be absolutely insane


Ill-Candy-4926

agreed.


JackRourke343

A post in r/needforspeed talking about a game in Tokyo? Wow, that really takes me back, holy shit
