How long would you say the story mode lasts in the game? Does it have any replayability factors, like alternate storylines? She shares a common history with Tyler but aims for a very different future with The House at her back. And finally, there is Lina "The Fixer" Moretti. He's a bit of a wildcard, being friend and foe to our heroes at different points of the story. Rav is the world-weary mentor and mechanic for the crew. To play off Tyler, Jess, and Mac, we have three other major players in our story. Will we also get a hearty introduction to whomever the villains are?
Tell us about some of the more compelling characters within the game. But gameplay-wise, each side is true to what it wants to be without compromise.
Any Race and Off-road cars you acquire, customize, and upgrade in single-player are used in multiplayer. And when you want to go racing against friends and the world, you jump directly to our multiplayer Speedlists mode.
So we let you play through the entire campaign offline (but it's better online with the 100+ leaderboards for you to compete on). Many fans told us they really wanted to focus on either single-player or multiplayer at any given time. Will it tie in with multiplayer somehow, or will that be a separate entity from the story? Then you play as all three characters in blockbuster missions, helping them work together as a crew. Or you can choose to head for the hills for off-roading as Mac. Feel like delivering packages while battling cops. But you get to choose which character's specialty you fancy in the moment. The single-player campaign contains threads that focus you on one character at a time. Will you be able to play as various characters in the story, or will it focus on just the one behind the wheel?
Action movies have this theme, Need for Speed games have it, and so does Need for Speed Payback. But The House, a shadowy cartel, controls everything for power and profit. The main characters, Tyler, Jess, and Mac just want to drive to make their way in Silver Rock. The story is, at its core, a revenge story with racing, heists, and a bit of mystery thrown in. First off, what can you tell us about the story in Need For Speed: Payback? It definitely seems a little Fast and Furious oriented, with players fighting against a big system.
