Traxion : We spoke to Criterion Games' Creative Director Kieran Crimmins about the studio's decision to focus development of Need for Speed Unbound on the latest generation of consoles, forgoing both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
No wonder with barely any games built only for the next gen consoles. We're just straight up not getting the next gen experience like we have in literally every other generation by now.
The stuff the studio is talking about here s the stuff I think of when ppl say things like “making god of war a ps5 exclusive wouldn’t make it a better game” well… yeah. Actually it would. It’s a great game, but could have been even more incredible by just simply having less constraints to worry about.
PS5 only would definitely make GoW better in performance , detail etc . I do believe if Covid didn’t happen and the supply chain was normal it would have been a PS5 only game but the landscape was weird for some time and only now have PS5’s become easier to get although not walk into a store any time easy.
Most likely because it'll be riddled with Micro transactions and the quality of the game will be trash so it'll need to look as beautiful as possible in order to bamboozle some of you. Especially with that unironically interesting Graffiti Style overlay.
And the game isnt that beautiful, this game easily couldve been done on a ps4, so not sure im buying what there selling in that regard as I thought it would look better being next gen only.
The game is actually awesome though, loving it my time with it.
Some poorly made assumptions there bud, wrong on all counts.
Tbh I'm not seeing why it's not on PS4, xboxone was already struggling when it came out, very unpowered and barely scraps along now. PS4 can actually still push out some decent graphics at 1080p tbh. Warzone 2.0 is massive and works well on the old PS4. Also not everyone can get a PS5.
But from looking at the game. looks nothing special, pretty empty, where is the traffic, did they all go home, christmas shopping maybe, it should be busy. Also it's not getting good reviews.
Traffic is pretty heavy in the city, enough for you to constantly weave through during racing.
Also, where are these bad reviews? It being rated much higher than any prior game in the last decade.
It's odd that you would take the time to comment without even trying to look at general community consensus first. The NFS Reddit is praising it overall. The only negative things they and I can say is it becomes tedious to deal with roaming cops at high heat levels because so many spawn, and you're often forced to drive off-road to avoid triggering another chase.
Looks like they put it on Current Gen consoles only simply because they can and wanted to.
I see nothing in this game that's not possible on PS4 other than faster load times on from SSD and some faster streaming of assets but thats about it, the game simply don't take much advantage of the newer hardware at all it just weirdly current gen only.
They kept saying they want the best experience yet the game barely looks any better than Heat if you can turned off all the cel shaded characters and cartoony effects.
At least their min spec on PC points towards needing at least a PS4 Pro or XOX console, if they released last gen, and we know they require a game to run on all SKUs. If min spec was like a 7870 XT or something in that realm, then I'd be scratching my head lol.
We're 2yrs into a new generation, shouldn't need explaining anymore

It looks like the last NFS game I played on PS4 but with crappier graphics so I'm not sold on this explanation.

That'll be my guess.

Other then the silly effects you can turn off, nothing new here.
