Need For Speed Payback Now Available Worldwide
Today, Ghost Games and Electronic Arts Inc. announced Need for Speed Payback, one of the world's bestselling video game franchises, is available worldwide on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Origin for PC. With deeper customization, a diverse open world and blockbuster action moments never-before seen in the franchise, Need for Speed Payback delivers an edge-of-your-seat experience that will have players living out their ultimate action driving fantasy.
"Two years ago, we reinvigorated the franchise by listening to what our fans wanted and built a game that returned to the Need for Speed core tenets- fast cars, deep customization, and epic cop chases. With Need for Speed Payback, we've raised the bar by adding Hollywood-style, adrenaline-fueled action, a huge open world, even more customization options, and a narrative that drives gameplay forward," said Executive Producer Marcus Nilsson. "We're excited to deliver a new driving experience that not only delivers everything our players love about the series but also pushes the boundaries of what they've come to expect from the genre."
Set in the gambler's paradise of Fortune Valley, players can drive as three different characters: Tyler, the racer, Mac, the showman, and Jess, the wheelman, each with their own distinct driving style. Together, they go up against The House, a nefarious cartel that runs the city's underground. Drift up and down mountain roads, tear up the desert terrain, speed through the city, complete insane heist missions and earn enough of a reputation on the streets to get revenge in the ultimate race to take down The House.
With cars at the center of everything in Need for Speed Payback, Derelicts bring all-new and unique customization options. Take a scrap chassis found on the side of the road and turn it into a supercar dream machine. Five unique car classes bring endless tuning opportunities for players to specialize their ride and leave challengers in the dust during Racing, Off Road, Drifting, Drag or Runner missions.
Epic cop chases bring even more heat to the road in Need for Speed Payback. Smarter police mean it'll take more skill to escape and fend off new reinforcement vehicles like Rhinos and Helicopters. Feeling confident? Take a chance on Bait Crates in the open world, which award players mysterious performance upgrades if they can escape an on-the-spot cop chase.
Need for Speed Payback is rated PEGI 12 and is available today on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Origin for PC. For more information please visit www.ea.com/games/Need-for-Speed .

Also, it's in released Black Friday ads already for $29. That should tell you something about the game that it released this week and on BF in 2 weeks it will already be 1/2 price.
Looks like there aren't even any cops in free roam. Which is garbage. If I want a god damn cop free game I'll play Forza or some shit. I want NFS to have insane cop races in and out of the story. And they just keep on screwing things up that were already done perfectly, with each release, for reasons unknown. People really prefer stupid bling and some loot/lottery cards over endless cop chases and awesome races? If yes, gaming really turned into a shitter...
Out of modern NFS games, "NFS: The Run" was by far the best. They even used its story for NFS movie. Hugely diverse tracks, 3 car classes (exotics, muscle and tuner), good story and while there was no open world or cops outside of "scripted" scenes, the game was super fun, exciting. Even segments where you had to timely press buttons weren't annoying. I genuinely liked it. I'm still hoping they'll make The Run 2 across entire Europe. We have hugely diverse terrain and cities, making trip super interesting. One day...
I have bought a few others that are cookie cutter games, not enough shortcuts where you might accidentally bump into a wall
WTF happened to NFS? EA, and a grand vision of separating players from their money, in the most "meme" and "asian" way possible.
Avoiding this forever
