OH now i get where the crew got their trailer inspiration from.

Funny facts about this trailer:

The Prodigy had a song in both Most Wanted 2005 and Most Wanted 2012, license plate is beta one, we can see different release dates.

0:25 in the Raptor: 11-11-05, release date of Most Wanted 05 in GBA.

0:34 in the Porsche 911: BU4N-OUT, reference to the Burnout saga, coincidentally, a game called "Burnout 4" doesn't exist. Very interesting. This game, by specifically blackbox era nfs fans, it's treated more like a Burnout Game.

0:54 on the Aventador: 11-15-05, original Need For Speed Most Wanted 05 release date for consoles, it's intriguing this specific license plate is on the Aventador, car that's kind of represented along with the 911 as a "Hero" Car on this game, appearing on a lot of promotional material, and originally, in betas, being Most Wanted Number 1, like in the Mobile version.

0:57: Dodge Challenger license plate, 11-17-03, Need For Speed Underground release date on consoles.

Cop Car color changes from these trailer to the final game, in this game they are black and white, Police is in a black font with a red stroke, which reminds me of Hot Pursuit 2010 SCPD cars, specifically, Police Reventón color palette.

Out of the 5 cars featuring on the trailer, Lamborghini Aventador is the only boss battle. In mobile version, 3 of the 5 cars are Most Wanted races, Aston Martin V12 Vantage being GU1LTY, Ford Raptor being SNWBLND and the Aventador being #1 spot, MSTWNTD. In promotional art and loading screen images, the Aventador has the MSTWNTD license plate, so there's a possibility the original list is the one from mobile game, and that the Most Wanted/Blacklist names and designs were deleted from console and PC versions. It was discovered that Mitsubishi Lancer was going to be a Most Wanted like in the mobile version, which makes this supposition even weirder. In loading screens some of these details appear, which only shows how rushed and how many changes were made to Most Wanted 2012.

Hearing this song once again in Black Ops 6 trailer was amazing. (used to play this game a very long time ago)

[Uranb]

At least they've given the game a free roam feel this time, I always loved being chased by the cops in all the NFS games

[Amalekites]

Oh shit.. Prodigy! It was ages ago I heard "Firestarter" =)

[jackraider]

Hate all you want. This is my favorite Need for speed game of all time.

[The-Steve-The]

Wow people can watch a, barely over a minute, trailer and become experts on the final game's shortcomings? That's an amazing talent, tell me more.

[DJArkadius]

0:25 is awesome. Can somebody make a remix of this soundtrack using the Lamborghini sound :)

[rosaria]

I miss this game. I mean it didn't deserve the Most Wanted name but it's fun as its own game.

[ascension-]

I can’t understand why people disliked this ?

[alexjacobo]

Still remains as one of my favorite nfs game and video game of all time.

[ezequiasluiz]

The game had everything to be good, like a "most wanted 2" but the developers and EA rushing the team don't know how to make games like those from the PlayStation 2 era😢

[jdrabble]

This game looks good, cant wait for its release!

[vulkunvision]

10 years later, this is still my favourite game trailer
