The developers at Criterion were not kidding when they said that the Wii U version of the game was improved graphically and based on the PC version's assets. Just this small example shows already a step up in graphical fidelity in not just the textures, but also with the shaders and lighting from the Wii U's more modern GPU.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted debuted in 2005, with the Xbox 360 version being the first then next-generation title in the franchise.
This game was awesome! I remember reloading my save if I didn’t get the pink slip from my blacklist rival
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
It's official then (Wii U is next-gen).
im glad its being built to use the consoles strengths & set it apart visually like other titles shouldve done when it launched! But i highly doubt it will be on par with nx gen Sony/MS visually.. The leaked specs show its a significant boost from what wii u has.. However, it doesnt even matter cuz current gen games dont even look ugly so i can deal with em still.. Ill be loving zelda n metroid in HD with beautiful graphics like this.. But that NSMB, pikmin, & nintendo land were full $60 retail games that didnt deserve that price tag
Oh! ..Okay sod it!
...Let's sell our 360's & PS3's...ignore all the incoming PS4 news later, and rush to our local retailer and purchase a Wii U!
...Because no way am I playing an inferior version of a game that was published by EA...no way José!!
*Jokes aside...is that not the point?? ...Wii U games are supposed to look better than both PS3/360...7 years is a long time in this industry. The Wii U is 'Nintendo's' next gen system, therefore by default it is next gen.
wii u should of been 250 dollars. 350 for wii u is to much. I hope the ps4 is 400 dollars so you guys can really see you wasted your money getting the wii u first. I will then wait for the wii u price to drop to 250 by the end of this year and have both systems for far cheaper and that work without crap patches that red ring of death the system. The wii u might actually have games out by then to actually justify a 250 purchase. So i basically win for not buying the wii u first. Saved a lot of money already :)
