Need for Speed Payback - Release Date, (Update: E3 2017 Gameplay), Pre-Order Bonuses, City, Customization, Trailer - Everything we Know

All the details on EA’s latest entry in the long-running Need for Speed series, releasing in November 2017.

At E3 2017 EA revealed that NFS Payback will include Relics, abandoned classic cars that can be found and customized. This sounds a little like the hidden cars in the Forza Horizon series. 
Shown in action publicly for the first time, E3 gameplay showed a sequence taking place in broad daylight in which the driver had to catch up to a truck before it reached a tunnel - the goal being to steal a car. That plan goes wrong and the pursuit continues with numerous cars turning up to aid the truck. Eventually the driver pulls up alongside the truck and passenger Jess leaps onto a ladder, takes a car and heads off just as the truck tips and crashes.

It’s hard to know how representative of the final game the sequence is, but it suggests Payback is going to be far more cinematic than the games that have come before, delivering tiny cutscenes during gameplay.

Need for Speed Payback Release Date, Developer, and Gameplay Details

Need for Speed Payback is releasing worldwide on November 10, 2017, for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Payback is in development at Ghost Games, the studio responsible for 2015’s Need for Speed and 2013’s current-gen launch title Need for Speed Rivals (collaborating with Criterion).
According to EA and Ghost Games, Need for Speed Payback is an “explosive adventure filled with intense heist missions, high stakes car battles, epic cop pursuits and jaw dropping set pieces”. There will also be a story, filled with betrayal and revenge (the best kind of story). Suggesting that Need for Speed Payback will include a substantial amount of customization, EA says that the game is about “building the perfect ride, getting behind the wheel and playing out an action driving fantasy”. 
EA states that Need for Speed Payback will include the “deepest customization from the series,” with players able to “craft a personalized and unique ride, or spend hours finding and tuning an abandoned derelict into a supercar.” Once you’re done with customizing, it’s then time to bet on your performance in races. 
Car Classes in Need for Speed Payback: 
  • Race
  • Drift
  • Off-Road
  • Drag
  • Runner
EA has also confirmed that NFS Payback will include Autolog, the stat tracking and challenge system found first introduced in NFS Hot Pursuit. Autolog in Payback will push your friends’ best scores from the entire campaign and world activities.

You'll be able to do a lot of customization in NFS Payback.

“Need for Speed returns this year to challenge what players expect from racing games,” said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer on Need for Speed Payback. “We’re still delivering everything our fans love about the franchise – the deepest customization, an impressive roster of cars, intense races and open world pursuits – but with Need for Speed Payback, we’re bringing together all those elements in an all new blockbuster driving experience. From the story, to the different characters you can drive as, to the varied missions, to the edge-of-your-seat moments, this is our vision for what action driving entertainment means today.”
Confirmed! NFS Payback has fire. And daylight!

It seems there'll be a greater variety of surfaces to race on than we're used to.

This looks more like Need for Speed. Night time, cool car, cops giving chase!

IS A MODERN WARFARE 2 REMASTER COMING NEXT YEAR?

A Modern Warfare 2 Remaster could be being developed as we speak. Modern Warfare 2 has to be one of the most well-known and iconic Call of Duty's of the franchise because of its innovation and fun factor. With this years Infinite Warfare release, Activision has allowed Raven Software to develop Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered as a pre-order incentive for Infinite Warfare and it's a brilliant idea from the publisher giant. However, this lands Activision in a tricky position because now fans will be expected a Remastered title every year now until something drastically changes with the Call of Duty development cycle.  The next Call of Duty title will be released by Sledgehammer Games and although releasing a remastered Modern Warfare 3 would make sense (because Sledgehammer Games helped develop the title), it would also not make sense at the same time. In fact, it's probably likely that a Modern Warfare 2 Remaster is on the horizon, probably being developed b...

Need for Speed Payback will release this November

Ghost Games' newest NFS instalment targets casino cartels Following a tease yesterday, EA and Ghost Games has lifted the veil on its forthcoming Need for Speed game. As it turns out, Need for Speed Payback will release on November 10 and will feature, according to EA, "blockbuster gameplay never before seen from the series".  As is increasingly the case with Need For Speed games, there will be a narrative involved, which promises to be "gripping" and full of betrayal and revenge. The focus has moved somewhat away from winning races and more towards fulfilling the person-with-an-expensive-hotted-up-car fantasy, via customization both cosmetic and mechanical. Of course, you'll be able to win races too. It just won't hurt when you don't. Payback is set in Fortune Valley, which seems to be some game-y approximation of Las Vegas. Interestingly, you won't play as one character but instead three, with each waging their own campaign of reveng...

Resident Evil 6 – worth a quid

A reader celebrates how easy it is to buy video games for virtually nothing, so that even the most cash-strapped gamer can keep playing. Gamers rejoice! Recently for personal, boring, non-gaming reasons I have been slightly short on cash. In the past, a time such as this would have spelt the end, or at least temporary postponement, of my gaming obsession. This situation has hammered home to me the fact that, as gamers, we are lucky to be alive ‘n’ gaming in 2017. This weekend I have picked up Metro: Last Light for £2 (CeX… sorry), Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow for £1, and Resident Evil 6 for £1 – the last two from a car boot sale (all for Xbox 360). I know Resident Evil 6 has it’s many disappointed customers, but for a quid? Surely, I will squeeze out 100 pennies worth of enjoyment?! So far I have dipped into Castlevania. I’m pleasantly surprised and, for £1, you are always going to be getting value for money (Not a patch on the Game Boy Advance pinnacles of course). I haven’...
