Really excited to try Criterion's latest, out and its looking pretty good on PC.
But just technical gripe,
This is launching as a next-gen only racer (which is good) ... but hence was expecting a much more visual treatment.
This is lagging behind the likes of cross-gen Horizon 5 ...
Anyhow, being a huge fan of Criterion, its gameplay that'll count for me ...

I wanna see some footage with the anima art turned off, I’m curious.

For those that are interested, there is a 10h demo available for Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play users.
I played a little bit and honestly while I liked the visuals, it suffers from the same issue as every single Criterion Need for Speed. The handling is just bizarre, you can get acclimated to it, but it just doesn't feel right particularly when drifting.

If you, like myself, thought this would be closer to the Black Box era of NFS. This will be a disappointment.

Heavy Initial D vibes I like it.

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.

RaidenBlack132d ago

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

FinalFantasyFanatic131d ago

I can totally see them doing that again.

Just give me Underground 2 remastered

Fonsecap131d 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.

ApocalypseShadow131d 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.

CosmicTurtle131d ago

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

TheColbertinator131d 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

Dandalandan117151d 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?

Deathtracker151d ago

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

badboyz09151d ago

I'll wait for Midnight Club😁

The_Hooligan151d ago

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

Michiel1989151d ago

How Need for Speed has reinvented itself for 30 years

"Need for Speed has always been too ahead of its time." An in-depth development team interview, covering 30 years of NfS.

gold_drake173d ago

underground 1 and 2 are still the best ones.

isarai172d ago

And they're spent every game after that trying to chase that high and never meeting it

Ninver171d ago

Makes you think if gamers are looking to relive nostalgia or each dev that has attempted to mimic the glory days are just incompetent?

DarXyde171d ago

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.

I wouldn't be mad at another proper Underground or Most Wanted (PS2/X360) entry though.

Out of 30 years Ea Canada made all PS1 versions they were New and Exciting then Blackbox Studio took over all were Fantastic.
Criterion Games took over Every last title is and was Junk including Unbound.
