I'd rather play another criterion need for speed than either Forza 5 and Drive Club to be perfectly honest

I'd rather play Forza Horizon 2 or Driver: Las Vegas than any of them

me too. well, evolution and studio liverpool were always up there with criterion for me, but i'm skeptical of drive club. i'm not really into sim games and i wonder how many arcade elements it will have. i'm probably more interested in this.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Damn that looks gorgeous, dem raindrops. Also:

an open-world environment

Niiiice

 

[strafer]

Here you go.

Big ass pictures.

[sacrificengineer]

Yeah, this came to my mind too. It was a nice game by the way.

Looking forward to it, but I kinda hoped for Underground 3/reboot (maybe next time).

 

[luffeN]

It is nice how the German PR piece mentions "..die Next Generation-Konsolen PlayStation 4 und Xbox One, dem All-in-One-Entertainment-System von Microsoft, veröffentlicht.". Oh glorious Xbox One

 

[OldAsUrSock]

This looks pretty good. If this runs 60fps on the PS4 I might get it on that instead of PC.

That is funny.

 

[SniperHunter]

who is Ghost Games? NEver heard of these guys before, have they made a racing game before?

 

[twinturbo2]

I did in Most Wanted.

I kept it classy, no bodykits for the exotics in MW05 and Carbon. Maybe a flame livery.

 

[Nokterian]

nice



not nice

Lol.

Makes game with Frostbite 3 engine. Doesn't bring game out on same day for PC. I will buy it then when it is in the 10 dollar bin basket.

 

[btkadams]

did anyone ask criterion/ea about a possible vita version?

 

[jim2point0]

I was never really big on racing games but I loved Most Wanted. Looking forward to another game from these guys.

Here you go.

Big ass pictures.

Yeeaaah. Methinks these screenshots weren't rendered on consoles xD

 

[Foshy]

I'd rather play Forza Horizon 2 or Driver: Las Vegas than any of them

A new San Francisco-style Driver definitely needs to happen.

 

[RedSwirl]

It's not current gen?

Wow.

I pretty much expected the next NFS to be cross-gen.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Ghost Games also announced today the long-awaited return of Ferrari to the Need for Speed franchise. For the first time in seven years, gamers can get behind the wheel of some of the most luxurious, desirable automobiles on the planet, including the F12berlinetta.

I see MS and EA are in good terms really.

 

[Nirolak]

PC is same day afterall: http://news.ea.com/press-release/ea...peed-rivals-racing-xbox-one-and-playstation-4

Need for Speed Rivals is coming to Xbox 360® game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC on November 19, 2013 and will also be released on Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PlayStation 4 later this year.

 

[bridegur]

It looks good, but I feel like the environments in all the NFS games are becoming blander and blander.

HYPE!

 

[The_Monk]

Nice.

If one thing the last NFS nailed was the sound when you speed up while entering and exiting a Tunnel. I hope they can keep and improve the sound which to me is a major point in racing games.

YES!, I kept driving through the same tunnel with my Lambo.

man, dat sound man.

 

[FlyFaster]

ok, I'm getting excited, this has a Hot Pursuit vibe to it (my favorite arcade racer this gen) any word on if that's the direction they are taking this in? I still love Seacreast County to this day.

 

[The_Monk]

YES!, I kept driving through the same tunnel with my Lambo.

Yep, I think Forza Horizon did not did this so well and with GT6 I really hope they can also improve their sound since I'll be getting that game.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Shieeet Next Gen really does seem Racer Gen.

 

[FlyFaster]

Shieeet Next Gen really does seem Racer Gen.

I'm ok with this


I think a racing game is a good way to show off the systems power to people. Cars are familiar to everyone, most people drive and see cars on a regular basis. It's something we can all relate unlike aliens or whatever. Not saying it's the most popular thing ever but I see them as a kind of "touchstone" for console launches. Most console launches all have a driving game of some type.

 

[nordique]

Frostbite isn't running on Wii U. The game isn't going to be on there.

A crying shame. Most Wanted U was fantastic.

"Frostbite isn't set up for Wii U" seems to be the biggest culprit, I think

 

[SuperSonic1305]

What Ferrari is that?

 

[strafer]

What Ferrari is that?

F12 Berlinetta

 

[Shokio]

Are the 360/PS3 versions going to be using FB3 as well?

 

[Mileena]

I'd rather play another criterion need for speed than either Forza 5 and Drive Club to be perfectly honest

If they made it like Hot Pursuit, sure. Most Wanted is an awful game.

Wishing this was Underground 3 by Ghost but I'll keep an eye on the PS4 version of this I guess.

 

[jett]

Need for Speed
Forza
GT
DriveCloob

All coming out at roughly the same time. Good luck DriveCloob.

 

[twinturbo2]

I really hope that they go hog wild with the Ferraris now that they have the license back. Give me the 458, 430 Scuderia, LaFerrari, Enzo, F50, F40, 288 GTO, 1986 Testarossa convertible, and 599 GTO.

 

[TheHater]

Can we please get a next gen burnout please

 

[gillty]

The logo is the most interesting aspect of the announcement.

Hopefully its not Most Wanted 2012 terrible.

 

[Spongebob]

Cross-gen :/

 

[coldfoot]

did anyone ask criterion/ea about a possible vita version?

Get the PS4 version and use remote play .

 

[DinnerRevealer]

I wish we'd get a new Black Box-style NFS game and a new Burnout rather than Criterion making their Need for Speed game again.

 

[anatomyhorror]

I wish we'd get a new Black Box-style NFS game and a new Burnout rather than Criterion making their Need for Speed game again.

I didn't think this game was made by Criterion?

Also, any word on 60fps for PS4? I would think if BF4 (Frostbite) is going to run @ 60fps 1080p AND support 64 players on ps4, can't a racing game running the 'new' Frostbite engine do 60 fps on PS4?

 

[grosvenor_92]

Not sure if anyone asked this already but how come rivals isn't using Criterion's own engine ?

 

[anatomyhorror]

Say what?

It uses Frostbite 3. BF4 engine.

 

[grosvenor_92]

Unless I misunderstood the thread title it says FB3. I assume that means Frostbite 3

Edit: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/23/ne...this-november/

joystiq mentions in the article it's powered by FB3

 

[Deviation]

I've never been a Need for Speed fan but this is looking like the best of the launch window driving games. Is it wrong to be kind of excited for this game?

 

[ACH1LL3US]

Does anyone know if the game was running at 1080p native at e3 on the ps4 or xb1?? I would hope this game would be 1080p and 60fps...

I already said it ran on FB3 in 2 different posts.

And AFAIK it's 1080p for sure on PS4 XB1. FPS remains to be determined.

 

[Fredrik]

Why is this coming to PS3/360 but not to WiiU when Most Wanted on WiiU is by far the best version on consoles and Criterion pretty much praised the hardware just months ago?

 

[Joeki11a]

I'd rather play another criterion need for speed than either Forza 5 and Drive Club to be perfectly honest

Yup

Since drive club is free its all good

 

[Roo]

Because EA

 

[pieatorium]

Because EA

Because it sold like shit even compared to the vita version

 

[_woLf]

Wake me up when they reboot Underground.

 

[Roo]

Because it sold like shit even compared to the vita version

A barely promoted five months later version for a tanking console sold like shit? go figure...
