Following the official reveal of Need for Speed Heat, Ghost Games revealed some additional details about it. For starters, this new NFS game will come out on November 8th. Not only that, but the game will not feature any loot boxes or microtransactions.
Need for Speed Heat sends fans to Palm City, a brand-new open world where street racers have gathered to make their names known. By day, players compete in the Speedhunters Showdown, a sanctioned competition where they earn Bank to customise and upgrade their garage of high-performance cars. At night, players risk it all to build their Rep in underground races where a rogue police task force roams the streets, ready to take racers down and swipe all their earnings.
As Ghost Games stated, the Speed cards from the NFS Payback game are gone. In case you weren’t aware of, Speed cards were the game’s microtransactions system. Moreover, and when questioned about loot boxes, Ghost Games stated that there won’t be any.
“There are no Lootboxes in NFS Heat and there won’t be.”
Now I don’t know if Ghost Games and EA will bring microtransactions for cosmetics or via another method. From what we know so far, there won’t be any in Need for Speed Heat.
The only monetizations that will be coming to the game are post-launch DLCs and a “time-save” pack.
“We plan to have post launch paid-DLC in the form of car packs. Later this year we’ll introduce a time-save pack, which will show all collectables on the map.
That’s it”
Electronic Arts will reveal the first gameplay footage for this new NFS game on August 19th. The gameplay footage will air during the Gamescom 2019 Opening Night Live event!

“..will not feature any loot boxes or microtransactions.”
Nah, it’ll just likely “feature” something worse.

Surprise mechanics?
“will not feature any loot boxes or microtransactions”

“im about to ruin this mans whole bank account”
-EA
Need for Speed Heat releases on November 8th, will not feature any loot boxes or microtransactions… At launch
But what about
surprise mechanics???
F u EA
they’ll enable all that after the review copies.
Naw, that’s Activision’s thing.
“time save pack”
What happened to good old free cheat codes?
That was before they were able to milk morons, otherwise, they would’ve never existed either.
These companies didn’t just turn crappy over the last decade and a half. The internet merely matured in to a tool they could use, to do what they’ve always wanted to.
They’ve always been crappy. Especially EA. They were always spearheading the latest and crappiest in old-school copy protection, no matter the effect on the customer.
Forza Horizon started that time saver pack crap. It shows you where everything is on the map.
will it be always online?
No
>will not feature any loot boxes or microtransaction
>“time-save” pack
Wut ? So you pay to skip content yet it don’t count as microtransaction ? it is Microtransaction.
Judging by the name”time-save” it means they designed the game in a way that’s getting the things you want and the rewards are going to be a hell of a grind until they add more “time save” packs to give players a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Pretty much.
Time Saver will show the secrets and stuff on the map. Forza Horizon games have the same exact thing since FH2
Don’t think so. It’s a booster pack for XP and stuff like AC games. We are living in an era where publishers taunt players with slot machines and lootboxes in an NBA game.
It’s already been explained that the Time Saver will be showing unlocks on the map. Heat is taking so much from Forza Horizon, it’s kinda funny at this point.
The will f**k it up no matter what.
I know it’s EA, but I’ll wait and see before making accusations on this game.
Nah, if it was their first time sure, but how many f*ck up did they do in last decade ? they are guilty until proven innocent.
After what Activision pulled, I’ve no reason to believe EA.
Yes there are LOOT BOXES & MicroTRANNYActions. Cut The SCHITT EA. No one believes this garbage. Just stop.
GOOD.
I’m interested.
Indeed. What happened to good old EA?
Will also yet feature .
Woke Mental
SJW Progressives
Trash Storyline
Same Gameplay
No Cockpit view
No Underground City Vibes
EA, Go fuak yourselves, FUAKK!! Wait, and Ghost Games too . Black Box <3
Amber's Coming, might as well really go mod GTA V the way I know how to mod so brilliantly, and get Assetto Corsa and mod that too, least in both of those we have a cockpit view, so my G920 works or maybe NFS 2015 with the police mod and my Unbeaten in drifting vs other players for 250 hours R32 Skyline, goes just fine .
Oh and EA? Delete your Accounts, you morons .
AHHAHAHA you are so mad. WE BASICALLY PREDICTED ALL OF THIS and you were opposing us.
Go troll someone else pls .
Not really lmao, I said in the first NFS Heat Thread what this game will be, you can still display hope, even if you know, went right over your whole existence .
and who’s us for you? Seems you’re all alone here .
Delete your account .
I am not mad, I am truthful and hellah expressive .

-Delete your account .
-I am not mad, I am truthful and hellah expressive .

“will not feature any loot boxes or microtransactions”
That day one patch is ready with all that good surprise mechanics……..
developer said no surprise mechanics either, later on they will have dlc but that’s it.
“We plan to have post launch paid-DLC in the form of car packs. Later
this year we’ll introduce a time-save pack, which will show all
collectables on the map.”
That’s still microtransactions John
There’s a difference between DLC that expands the games and microtransactions.
No, it’s literally microtransactions
3 cars on a game with 80 or so is a digital microtransaction.
Horse armor was a microtransaction, Battlefield 3 shortuc packs were microtransactions, they’re just trying to change the name to something with less negative connotations.
You people should chill. The game sounds good so far.
an off topic question. How did u guys stumbled upon “dsogaming” site for the first time? share ur tale if u dont mind 🙂
Nfs lol who cares anymore
“Later this year we’ll introduce a time-save pack, which will show all collectables on the map.”- so the game is so boring and not worth playing – since “time-save” implies it’s “time-waste” otherwise – you have to pay to skip the worst part – gameplay itself?
Have you ever played Forza Horizon? They have the same thing in them. Time sasve pack will show you the locations of where everything is.
At least put some effort in the bait..
“will not feature any loot boxes or microtransactions”
You forgot to add “at launch”.
Also for the author of this post. Time Save packs and car packs are still Micro-transactions.
