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.
Support for Need for Speed Unbound has ended as Criterion focuses on the new Battlefield.
Plz no live service only NFS.
You already tried that with the reboot which was online only.
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.
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.
They bought Criterion for their middleware engine Renderware I believe. But the studio was a bonus.
It's been more than 3 years that no sign of a brand new Need For Speed games has emerged, but when are we going to get a fresh NFS anyway?
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?
Same. They should remaster the trilogy. I'll buy it day 1. I still have all three for the PS2.

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.
I wouldn't be mad at another proper Underground or Most Wanted (PS2/X360) entry though.
Replies(1)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.
We're 2yrs into a new generation, shouldn't need explaining anymore
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.
It looks like the last NFS game I played on PS4 but with crappier graphics so I'm not sold on this explanation.
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.
That'll be my guess.
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.
