Need for Speed Unbound - General Discussion

[kjb]

I don't use cockpit view so that's not a concern for me but those that do I can see how would bother them. I hope that by this just being current gen only we get see a really good game with some nice physics. I'm not expecting to be a sim anything like that but I just want all the cars to feel different

 

[Seikenfreak]

Due to the trailer, have been reminiscing about the old games with some people in a discord and was just talking about how the PC version of High Stakes had a cockpit view which was a big deal.

 

[SestoScudo]

When's the last time a NFS game even had cockpit view? The games are so focused on being pure arcade & full speed, a cockpit view likely isn't something they feel is worth putting together.

Nfs Shift 1 and 2 was the last time to get cockpit view.

Really a shame how a feature that was in NFS 1 still not making a return.

The ps5 and Series X just doesn't have the tErRafLop5 to handle it. Sad to say.

Well that's a big massive NO for me!! I've never watch a more unappealing trailer in my life. I think I'll dig out my old PS2 and replay the best NFS game ever made, Hot Pursuit 2 in the PS2. There hasn't been a single Need For Speed since HP2 that comes close to delivering just sheer arcade racing FUN than that game had. The first time I launched off a jump and it went into the cinematic cam with the music turned down and just the sound of a heartbeat I was hooked. What a fantastic game that was. I guess there is no going back...

 

[GTboyz]

I've seen an image leak where it shows a 69 Charger with bizzare bodykit aaaaaaaand... a shooting brake body style.

they're getting too crazy for me.

 

[McLaren]

I'm thinking that Charger leak is a special car as the menu highlights only 1 thing can be modified on it & it has a specific designation.

Some leaked images.

Also, a thread on the subreddit has showcased a small clip where normal smoke is seen, leading to the assumption the effects may be something you can turn on/off.

Those aren't leaks, they're on the map page on the official website

Maybe not, I think is a preset body kit choice since the bottom left of the screenshot seem to be showing the body kit brand:

The car looks ridiculous and it fits into NFS perfectly.

*Edit
As for the deluxe edition pre-tuned cars, it looks to be:

• AMG GT Black Series
• G65 AMG
• MK1 Golf GTI
• BMW M3 E30

I think i will pick it up becouse i miss some proper open world racers with story and good streetrace vibe, i just don’t think horizon 5 does that, the map is boring, not much cities either no story and not exactly the best progression, we know nfs has been behind in a lot of aspects, but street racing story and customization is still superior in nfs to forza horizon

This is clearly not the case when we already have Gran Turismo 7 and Forza Horizon 5 showcasing interior views that look great. It's much more likely that they just don't want to spend time and money on a feature that not many players actually want.

 

[SimTourist]

Meh, should've gone full stylized, this half shaft deal is pretty uninspired. Those city shots above look like a late PS3 game at best.

 

[R55NA]

They're really charging 70 for it?

70 Dollars, thats cute. We are paying 80 Euros.

Shocking, a modern street racer is aimed at younger people, I know, couldn't believe it myself either.

There's more than enough racers that look identical these days, will always welcome something different.

It looks like a lot of fun to me, looking forward to it.

Car list appeals to children too. Where are the everyday run abouts?

People always say stuff like this while forgetting that the PS3 had an output of 1080p whereas this is running at 4K 60FPS.

Not to mention it absolutely does not look like a PS3 game. Regardless of resolution.

I think by the way he/she wrote it it was sarcasm.

How would you know as there been a poll of them asking players if they want this feature or not cause if not then you can say that about any racing game and yet other racing games feature cockpit view.

 

[T0MMY3688]

I think the only time a developer claim about cockpit cam usage was Codemasters on Grid 2. Codemasters removed it because less than 5% of the player base use it for Grid 1.

Isn't that tall bridge in Heat? The road with the metal barrier on one side and picket fence the other also looks rather similar.

People always say stuff like this while forgetting that the PS3 had an output of 1080p whereas this is running at 4K 60FPS.

..and even then 90% of PS3 games were only 720p.

No but I still think it's much more likely that they're purposely leaving it out rather than doing it for performance reasons in what is a very arcade-oriented title.

THIS with 2022 graphics, i viewd the trailer so much at those days.

 

[McLaren]

Undercover is near unarguably one of the weakest points in NFS history. Leave that in the past.

I say no. For me, it was last good NFS. I liked the soundtrack and atmosphere very much.

at Trailer comments, some guys are same meaning.

Yep a buggy mess

I was bluffing

 

[Emick81]

Undercover was one of the worst NFS games ever made

 

[kjb]

I was on the website for the game it seems anime effects are optional.

Because no one actually uses it.

Undercover and The Run were both absolutely terrible.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I liked Undercover. The Run was just a cringe action movie disguised as a game.

I have the PS3 Version of that game it's aged quite well visually speaking.

 

[strela]

Yeah I also believe it will be something like vanity items from Heat or the Crew 2. If you don't use it you still have the default white smoke.

I don't know but after watching the trailer a few more times I'm liking the graphics a lot. The cars and the scenery looks almost real life. And the cartoony characters fits perfectly fine for me. And there's a hope vanity items are optional.

I'm also glad was wrong about the leaks and we got the same map. Loved the map in Heat but this one is starting to look much better.
And since it is apparently continuing building on the Ghost formula I'm already sold. Being a current gen only is just a plus.
Post launch support is something I'm a little bit concerned. I hope it will sell enough.
