Good they can be turned off.

FinalFantasyFanatic979d ago

The effects look kinda annoying and distracting to me, I don't think I'll play with them either.

monkey602980d ago

I wont be. I love the effects.

CobraKai979d ago (Edited 979d ago )

Me too. It adds an Auto Modellista feel to the graphics.
I love em. It adds to the style and differentiates itself from the rest of the pack.

monkey602979d ago

I really enjoy the neon aesthetic of Dirt 5 and Forza Horizon. This just looks like it ramps that up and I'm all about it.

isalas011981980d ago

So now its not just about cars and customizing your car with wheels, body kits, underglow, graphics, hoods etc, now you customize your custom effects so you can be noticed even more lol.

spicelicka980d ago

Until you have to start paying for effects.

ChubbyBlade980d ago

Really speaks to the vanity of modern players doesn’t it….

FPS_D3TH979d ago (Edited 979d ago )

You’re talking about a game that was born from riced out car culture of the 90s.

tombfan980d ago

The effects looks AMAZINGGGGGGG!!! I think it was an amazing choice by Criterion! And the customatization of these will be a buy factor for me, i'm really digging the aestetics.

EvertonFC980d ago (Edited 980d ago )

Why would you want to turn them off ?
Edit: Actually just watched the video no thx looks stupid tbh yep I'll turn them off lol

coldfire984980d ago

epilepsy is also a thing so good thing they can be turned off.

SDuck980d ago

A game about speeding around the street at night might not be ideal for epileptic people regardless with all the passing lights and such

CrimsonWing69979d ago

I mean wouldn’t the cop lights flashing red and blue be more prone to inducing epilepsy than cartoon smoke effects?

Need for Speed Unbound races onto Amazon Luna cloud gaming service

Luna+ subscribers can stream Criterion’s open-world arcade racer on Amazon’s cloud gaming service.

There’s no way the Luna player base is more than 50,000 people. I’d love to see their numbers

Need for Speed will return in “new and interesting ways,” says EA

Support for Need for Speed Unbound has ended as Criterion focuses on the new Battlefield.

RaidenBlack135d ago

Plz no live service only NFS.
You already tried that with the reboot which was online only.

FinalFantasyFanatic134d ago

I can totally see them doing that again.

andy85135d ago

Just give me Underground 2 remastered

Fonsecap134d ago

Don't known if you're aware, but there is a modding team remastering the game in unreal engine 5, look for it it's looking good.

ApocalypseShadow135d ago

But no Burnout since you bought the competition to kill their game. And what's left of Criterion who stayed, were put to make your game need for speed. Don't care what ways it comes back. It's EA. No buy.

CosmicTurtle135d ago

They bought Criterion for their middleware engine Renderware I believe. But the studio was a bonus.

Amplitude1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Burnout and Motorstorm were by far the best arcade racers. Forza Horizon is up there too.

Need For Speed is like that guy you used to kinda be friends with in high school who’s now a broke homeless drug addict but you still nod when you walk by, hoping he’ll get better. But he never will

TheColbertinator135d ago

I enjoyed NFS Heat but they never built properly on that.

When to expect a great one should be the question. Must be 15 years

Dandalandan117154d ago

Why can't they just give fans what they want?
Remake NFSU, NFSU2, or the original Most Wanted.
Or what about a new Burnout game perhaps?

Deathtracker154d ago

We've been waiting for these remakes since, like, forever.

badboyz09154d ago

I'll wait for Midnight Club😁

The_Hooligan154d ago

Same. They should remaster the trilogy. I'll buy it day 1. I still have all three for the PS2.

Michiel1989154d ago

fuck need for speed, give us a new burnout by Criterion

Fonsecap154d ago

Search YouTube for Need for speed underground 2 remaster, modders are porting the game to UE
