15. Need For Speed's Drifting Camera Looks Totally Awful
Though few will argue with the fact that the new Need for Speed game certainly looks visually pleasing, many had much to say about the game's drifting mechanics, which seem irritating and intrusive to say the least. For starters, whenever the player is shown to launch into a drift, it seems incredibly mechanical, largely because the chain of animations isn't very smooth. Secondly, and more annoyingly, the camera changes perspective and swings down below the car during a drift, which in a game focused on split-second accuracy, can be a potential hindrance and even an extreme annoyance. Hopefully EA will take on-board the vocal social media criticism, as it can't be too hard to fix a camera angle with over 4 months to spare. As for the animation issue? Wait and see on that one...
