I guess the car is made for the artist and NFS? Not based on a real car that the artist owned or known for?
I just notice the rear diffuser is made exactly like the ugly diffuser that I never use since NFS 2015.

Honestly don't even know if you're being serious. Criterions games are some of the most competent NFS games done, particularly hot pursuit. Codemasters hot take is your opinion but Grid 2 is probably the worst thing Codemasters have made aside from Dirt Showdown and The Run wasn't really focused on racing because it was attached to a terrible story with terrible cut scenes and scripted driving sections.

I wonder if Codies will have some influence on this series going forward, might mean the driving physics would improve if they do...

probably the next one after this, Codies was added in as support around April this year and I doubt they can fix much in such a short time.
But the Codemasters that EA send to help NFS are the ones that did Dirt 5, that has somewhat wonky physics too (mostly on air and collusion physics during my playthrough).

I have some expectations that they might also release it for mobile. All of those anime effects look just like they were made for this, like an Asphalt 9 arcade-style game. They were already testing perfomance and optimization with NFS Heat garage editor and NFS No Limits.
Chances are low but at the end of the day, nfs haven't brought anything new for many years, EA is greedy and Mobile is the best place to sell your game and make profits from IAP's. Seems like a perfect strategy for me.

Ok, but I meant more visually and what is in the world. Beyond the generic looking downtown area and generic looking outskirts, there really isn't anything to the Heat map that you'd remember, nor many interesting race routes.It got leaked a while ago and should be quite accurate. Folks on reddit was able to match up this map with the few leak footage:

a new F2P mobile game is in the works by TIMI, developers that did CoD Mobile. So I don't think this one will be going to mobile and F2P.
Visually not much, other than the city looks nice but I remember a lot of the sprint and circuit routes are good. It has a more race track feel with good combination of high and low speed turns while Forza Horizon tracks just doesn't seem to have a flow to it.

Compared to Payback it was definitely a step backward. If you’re looking for inspiring driving roads and scenic routes, you won’t find that in Florida. Hopefully they put mountains back in the NFS, those roads are what made the 2015-era NFS’s for me.

Some of it was pretty good but there wasn't really any memorable routes. I only played it a couple of weeks ago and I struggle to visualise anything in particular, just a few fun high speed backroads in the top left area.

Some screenshot just got leaked from japanese store:
These looks very anime compared to the leaks.

I'll take a pass on this one.
Just not feeling it also this new NFS game is not marketed for fans of the series.
They are targeting a new audience. We are the dinosaurs.

Except heat isn't Florida, really, because there were mountains - which made the whole thing feel incongruous. I didn't like the map too much in Heat - it felt pretty ambiguous throughout whereas Payback's map felt more deliberate and borrowed a little more faithfully from it's source location. You had the city (which was also more fun to drive around than Heat's), the desert and the mountains. Heat by contrast was this kind of nebulous blob of landscape. Heat did provide a pretty great atmosphere at night, however - though Payback's day/night cycle was compelling in it's own right.
edit: Lakeshore would heavily imply Chicago as the inspiration. The leaked map seems to align with that - the river down the middle of the city is very Chicago. Interesting choice...and like Heat all of the elevation will be pretty fabricated - Chicago is flat as a pancake.

Hm, I really don't want to be the grumpy old man here, but I hope, we can deactivate these lit* effects. Just in case, they're too much.
I enjoyed Heat a lot, hope I'll end up enjoying this aswell.
*chose this as a modern word for "cool". I apologize, if it's total 2017...

Yeah this style clash looks really jarring.

Unfortunately, it looks like what I feared. Too much dissonance in styles. I think I'll keep my money saved for other upcoming titles, like TDU: Solar Crown for one.

I'm really not a fan. Like I said before, it feels like it's 17 years too late. I would expect this out of 2005, but the style looks way too outdated. Let's hope this is just the marketing and the in game graphics retain a more realistic approach.Some screenshot just got leaked from japanese store:
