Yep, they can do that. They do own that design. Is it kinda shitty? Maybe. But I didn't preorder heat. Few people did as digital preorders are dumb as fuck. It's £6. £2 per car. Now, I wouldn't use the volvo or the evo, so it's basically £6 for the golf. And I think most people will want the golf only lol. That being said, I don't think I'd use the golf either so for me, I just wouldn't buy it. If you actually put some thought into your purchases, you'll find yourself not buying certain things in every single game that offers any kind of microtransaction
@@XenonArcher These are all cosmetic, so not really a big deal, you decide if you spend or not, doesn't give anyone an advantage, so it's not that big a deal, game needs to be monetized to get free updates, and the free stuff was a new car in general so that is actually way more worth
The pack with the 3 cars and the Ford should’ve all been in the speed pass. Literally have a paid version of the speed pass that costs $12-20 usd. All these things are what the other games do. The McLaren F1 drop they did for Heat was fantastic imo.
I'm going to be honest here, this video just showed me more ways of how Need For Speed can be monetize in not a very good way and I am not for it in my opinion. I'd say as long as they don't do something like Payback or more monetizations, it should be fine.
they need to monetise it dude. free updates wont be free otherwise. this is entirely optional dlc content that people dont need to buy. i havent bought any. but i didnt see them as bad as it lets people with expendable income throw their money at it, and those who dont spend still get free updates.
honestly many people will disagree with me here, but im all for customization for a little extra money, especialy licensed parts. I really wouldn´t mind, aslong as there is no Competitive advantage
The fact that there are more active players on nfs heat right now than unbound(just from steamcharts) even after adding it to game pass, speaks something.
I may be speaking for myself but I would like to see some type of brand/collab packs. For example, like a work wheel pack which would include like 2 or 3 new wheels with some vinyl designs related to wheels or brand and other miscellaneous items of customization. Something of this nature would be cool to see kind of how they do it in call of duty with cosmetic packs. Another example would be like a Greddy Performance pack, which would be a "Hero" car with special livery from a real world car with other miscellaneous items. Something of this nature.
Little fun fact Pants The Evo also has Falken Tire Stickers.... Those aren't in the livery editor... WHY AREN'T THOSE IN THE LIVERY EDITOR???? Please let the devs know that's just disappointing for livery makers, we wish we could use those stickers
I think this is the khyzyl kit, they changed the name of it because he doesn't work for them anymore but they own it. They did the same with his Aventador kit.
Your description on the ideal dlc into base game for the next title is pretty much exactly what nintendo did with smash bros. Which is probably one of the reasons it does so well 🤔
Those kits are all the same though. With the m3 gtr, you can't edit anything, with the free r32 you can't change anything. With the countach you can't change anything. You have never been able to switch and swap panels with any other cars thus far.
I have an idea for story mode. You play on hardest difficulty and anytime you total your car you have to put it in the garage and you cant use it but if you get pulled over it stays in the garage for 1 full day before you use it again *you can only buy one car per day ** If you run out of cars to use you can sell cars to purchase one car. If you make it past the week you can bring back any one car from the garage *** If you can't buy a car or can't compete in the grand at the end of the week you lose the run and start over. If you decide to race someone else with this challenge the winner is the one who completes it first + 1 min to the timer for every car in the garage that you can't drive
I'd say these packs are 'Pay-to-Win lite', because it grants access to the respective cars. Granted, there aren't any upgrades, but certain cars are locked behind challenges that you need to do to get access to them. I'm never against the cosmetics idea of this, but the fact that it grants access to the base models also.
The cars themselves aren't hard to get, they are their and the basic needs to get them don't take much time at all, nobody would complain about getting the base car itself, for the money you pay, that's the least they can do actually.
Dude the golf is a starter car, the evo requires like 10 B class playlists and the volvo is the same. Plus that’s what is needed to keep a game going. It’s okay to do this unless the challenge is designed to be impossible and forces you to buy a pack
What if the car update pack changed the cars to vans or hot rods so it actually changed the cars roof chops. You actually got something different for your money
i was so sad to see the K.S Kit disappear after heat it was my favorite kit for the evo and the evo was one of my main cars that I'd use, it's even more sad to see it all locked down in a preset now without the ability to customize it i'd have a mix of K.S Parts amongst others i hate when body kits are fully locked down i understand having "restricted" parts the require certain other parts to be used eg certain cannards cant fit on certain front bumpers and certain boots can't be used with certain spoilers but locking the whole kit down like it's NFS 2015, i thought we were past that by now...
5th gen Camaro Z/28 only dude but they don't have 6th gen Camaro ZL1. Vol.4 should add Hennessey The Exorcist 30th Anniversary 2021 to unlock this car take down 30 Undercover units.
Umm…that Varis Kit for the Evo isn’t even a Varis kit. That’s The Kyza’s kit from NFS Heat Deluxe edition’s Evo X. They charged us twice for the same kit in two games…🤦🏽♂️
Us ? More like the people who preordered, which weren't that many, so not really something to make a broad statement with. Also that's only if you decide to buy it, it's cosmetic, so it don't matter, it's also their car now to use since Kyzal doesn't work for them anymore, so they can resell it and use it now since it belongs to them.
@@WarzoneXProductions Yea I am perfectly fine with it because it's not my issue, if people wanna spend money on cosmetics what authority do you have on them to tell them otherwise ? Why is it bad if they want it or spend money on it ? They aren't stupid, they know what they are getting and they should be aware of the value. You can warn them, advice them, instruct them and give them information, that's all fine, but don't force it down peoples throats like EA does.
Imagine ea put the new car delorean dmc 12 behind a paywall almost everyone would have been mad. In that case most of us would have had to spend the money because its a newly added car to the game
Some cars they should add especially for Dlc that I would pay for is a Ghost/Phantom or any Bentley tbh. Any Escalade, and of course bring the Chrysler 300. A great idea for a dlc drop is some Low-Ridas which are all old school rides.
The BMW M3 GTR LE is the best example of EA's greed, it was free after beating the campaign in heat and now you have to stay subscribed to EA play to access it.
customisation to me feels like the DNA of need for speed it arguably does it better then the other racing games, locking cars down like that so you cant customise them is dumb as hell, but i thought about if i would pay for the season passes if they came with all kinds of car customisation parts bumpers body kits glowy parts etc instead of character clothing that i dont care about i guess this would be harder as you have to make one size fits all samey body kits though which is already happening with the viper fog lights an the delorean looking similar, kind of like red dead 2's outlaw pass thing where u paid 15gold or w/e an got your money back through the pass..... i duno i dont make games lol
If the DLC is offering new cars then yes I will pay for it. But in this case no, I'm not paying for bodykits (priced at RM25 in my Country's currency, I can get 2 full meal for that money, I'm expecting new not something for existed cars). **Just my personal opinion/expression, but still who ever wants to support the dev please go ahead.
Not gonna lie I can't wait to buy the car packs... But idk if i'ma get the mustang, I hate the SN97's tbh. I prefer SN95's, I WANT ZE TERMINATOR! Now THAT would be a car pack worth some money!
well when we buy a game we expect to get all the content not be funnelled more " content " for exrta prices.... doesnt make sense especially when they want to sell 3 cars that are ALREADY in the game..... how can u defend that and says its a good thing. they dropped a game with minimum content made people who payed full price for this game just to get some " exclusive " bodykits. remember when we would buy a game and get all the content instead of being nickle and dimed
Tbh if they didn't monetize the game like adding packs or anything no money will get into their pocket and no support for the game. So I think this is a smart decision. The crew 2 did it and the game still alive after 5 years. Why? Because it has monetization.
The Volkswagen IS THE BEST FOR SURE!!! NFS UNDERGROUND LIKE ALL THE WAY!!! 🔥💯🔥 Hopefully criterion will make these cars have the parts to change and mix and match... I'm pretty sure they will in the new update. 💯 Give it up for criterion tho!!! 💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥
It amazing how you still cant comprehend that any "Legendary Customs" kit, can only be customized by wheels and paint/wrap. Its been like that from launch.....

@@BlackPanthaa ghost consisted of 3 studios. The only one that got shut down is the one in Romania (there's barely any info on it though) As for the Sweden studio. Still exists. Existed before ghost did lol. EA Gothenburg used to be a frostbite support studio for DICE. When EA formed Ghost, that studio became ghost Sweden. Over in the UK, criterion was split.

Also, you are the guy who said Sweden didn't have a lock down lol. That's even worse
C'mon, they're reselling the Preorder EVO from NFS Heat as a DLC instead of adding it to the base game, that's just bs
And it was Khyzyl's works on NFS Heat...
Yep, they can do that. They do own that design.

Excellent Gameplay, Explanation and Customization Brother
Hoping for more LICENCED customizations
We need more body kits man I missed when nfs had a bunch of body kits / bumpers,side skirts, rear bumpers,etc.
Those kits are all the same though. With the m3 gtr, you can't edit anything, with the free r32 you can't change anything. With the countach you can't change anything. You have never been able to switch and swap panels with any other cars thus far.
I like how the link up pops up Pro Street style, nice touch
I think the lack of customization is just licensing agreements and issues with that.
Thats exactly the problem im facing too. Cops left and right. U need to escaape cops in order to get into safe garage.
have a great weekend Theo btw the wrap/design that Theo put on the Lancer EVO is from NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED 2005 not the 2012 either
That’s also a new car. The EVO X. The EVO IX was already in the game.
I have an idea for story mode. You play on hardest difficulty and anytime you total your car you have to put it in the garage and you cant use it but if you get pulled over it stays in the garage for 1 full day before you use it again

@@alastairland291 THIS
Pay to win is when the content is lock behind a pay wall if you can unlock it for free then it is not P2W this is cosmetic only
Those packs was supposed to be free when u pre order it long ago. Now they saying we have to pay… thats wild. Gamestop said this when to preorder it
What if the car update pack changed the cars to vans or hot rods so it actually changed the cars roof chops. You actually got something different for your money
"and if you have EA play you get a discount"
The $5 purchase - is still $5 dollars.

anyone else notice that they just changed the headlights and taillights and added some holes in the bumper...

Very cool video black panthaa

Can you upgrade or change anything on these cars?
Ain't that KYZA kit from NFS Heat?
What's the point of buying the car pack if we just change the wrap and everything about the car? Seems right to not be able to customize it
how do you change to night time in multiplayer???

When are they gonna add to the storyline instead of just online
I bought every pack on day 1 for £23 :)
There is no "right" way to do monetization in a video game, only what people choose to tolerate
