Hard pass. First time I skip a NFS game. I thought the leaked screenshots were promotional materials, but the website description states this is the new artstyle for the game. Just can't stomach it.

Eonjay557d ago

I disagree. I really like the art style.
The visual ques really make the sense of speed pop. NFS has always been more arcady and less simulation.

CrimsonWing69557d ago

Man, I dig the hell out of it.

It actually makes me want to buy this Day 1, which is crazy since I’ve never gotten a NFS game at launch since NFS Most Wanted on the 360. I’m really liking what they’ve done here.

outsider1624557d ago

I kinda like the change in artstyle. If they didn't do anything to it, people would still complain how it's the same game over and over again.

drcanttouchthis557d ago (Edited 557d ago )

I can see how the art style would be turn some fans of the series off. I'd feel that way for a few games, but imo NFS needs to do something to attract newcomers along with making things feel a bit fresh for vets. I haven't been a NFS fan since the Underground series and Most Wanted. If the gameplay is nice, I may become a fan again. I dig the art style, but that could be due to me being a fan of cell shaded art work. They should have shown more gameplay.

SinisterMister556d ago

Oh come on. You should at least give it a go. The devs are trying something new with the game. Why not at least try it out?

CantThinkOfAUsername556d ago

Because I'm not a fan of this artstyle at all, and it's something I'll be looking at most of the time. If it was a toggle-able option, I'd have no problem playing the game.

Haven't been into the franchise since all the way back to Porsche Unleashed on PC. Unbound does not make me want to re-visit. That said, I'm SHOCKED this isn't yet another dragged out cross-gen title.

Si-Fly557d ago

Best NFS has looked in years to me!

rpvenom556d ago

Same. I'm actually really into this aesthetic. Reminds me of Spiderman Into the SpiderVerse

Si-Fly555d ago

Haha, maybe that’s why I like it so much!

Finally, Resistance: Retribution 🔥

It's an alright month overall. I think Sony should try to more consistently get some high quality indies Day 1 in the service, e.g. Ultros would have been good. Those have usually been some of the better months, e.g. Stray, Sea Of Stars, Tchia.

Shame that for this version of Outer Worlds, you can't import your save. 😔 Truly Spacer's Choice

darthv7261d ago

retribution was a cool game. It's the only one that allowed you to link a DS3 controller using Resistance 2 to play it (as far as i know). It was an interesting experiment that didnt offer 2nd analog support though but Im betting this version does.

Eonjay61d ago

Good point. One assumes that is the reason for the delay on releasing it.

ChasterMies61d ago

Joke’s on Outer Worlds Spacers Choice. I quit after the first planet in Outer Worlds.

MaximusPrime_61d ago

Glad I didn't buy NFS rebound. I expected this to be on PS Plus.

ravens5260d ago

Unbound lol. N I got it for 15 physical, 🤷🏽. I'll take it. Jus got extra this year for $80, which is a great deal. If I can pay $80 on sale every year I'd stick with Extra. I don't mind buying a game but then it shows up here cause then I can download it to have it digitally but still have MY copy. Once they take it off I can still play it.

Eonjay61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

You can say what you want about day one purchases but besides that Plus really blows GamePass out of the water.

NFS, Outer Worlds and 4 different Tales of Games... and Retribution. And you throw the monthly games on top of that... its no competition.

BTW... how is it that no one realized that Microsoft could just put its games on Plus. No one seems to realize that Microsoft and Sony are now working to enrich each other. (Console ware is over)

darthv7261d ago

Sadly, Retribution is only for premium users... not us extra folk. I do have the original UMD, but it would be nice to get it digitally like i did with killzone liberation and stardust. Both of which i already owned digitally on my Go/Vita and it was cool when those were made available for the PS5 as then i could dl them.

Eonjay61d ago

This is one UMD I never had but thats really awesome you still have an original.

ChasterMies61d ago

How can Game Pass be the best deal on gaming when it is more expensive than PS+?

badboyz0961d ago

Plus you need a platform to.

Petebloodyonion61d ago

Gamepass PC is way cheaper to PS+ and even way cheaper if you use MS rewards points

Redgrave61d ago

Is that Jet Moto 2, under Resistance? As of writing, it's just an image and no text.

Redgrave61d ago

It's been fixed, and yes it is

Toecutter0061d ago (Edited 61d ago )

Why is the Killzone series still M.I.A? I still love playing splitscreen co-op of KZ3.

MrBaskerville60d ago

They did release the psp top down shooter a while back. So it's not completely forgotten.
