Need For Speed Payback

NFS Payback is the new game of the Need For Speed series

It's been a long while since the first installment of Need For Speed was released back in 1994, a game that was published for the extinct 3DO console, as well as for PC, being one of the first games to require a Pentium processor to be able to make the most of its features.

Now in 2017, and 23 years after, the video game series that was started with The Need For Speed is still in perfect health conditions and is back to top the rankings with NFS Payback, with the intention of being one of the best car racing games in the world, available for both PC and PS4 and Xbox.

Not only a car game: it's also an adventure

But NFS games are no longer just car racing simulators. As we saw in Underground 1 and 2, Rivals or Most Wanted, they now offer us a plot that gives a sense to the illegal races we take part in, or even a movie featuring Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad).

And as couldn't be otherwise, Need For Speed Payback is back with a plot worthy of any action movie in which our main character returns to his gang to claim vengeance. A revenge that will obviously take place sitting behind the wheel of your car and in an open world that could well be part of any GTA title.

NFS Payback includes some of the most stunning cars in the world.

The game also comes along with the best graphics and movie scenes with real-life actors but that's secondary. Because you're only interested in the cars you'll be able to drive: Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Corvette, BMW M5, Ford Mustang, Volkswagen Golf GTI, Nissan 260Z, Ford F-150, BMW X6, Lamborghini Aventador…
