Is this direct-feed? If so then why is the HUD floating around, and is there a way to disable it?

Yeah just noticed that too. It's strange

Just to remind people:

The PS4 version will obviously look better. For racing games, especially very fast paced, open world ones like NFS Rivals, the GDDR5 RAM will really have the edge over DDR3.

Those videos looked surprisingly good. I'm keen to get back into some arcade racing action next gen. If the single player component of NFS is strong, I'll give it some consideration. It's a shame we don't have Burnout Paradise 2 for the launch window.

Regardless of which system I buy at launch, this is getting purchased.

So to catch up on this thread since it's been a while, we have confirmation PS4 and PC versions are 1080/30?

According to the video a few posts above you, the PC version is unlocked. PS4 is 1080/30.

According to Nilsson, Need for Speed: Rivals on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One looks "amazing". He declines to say if he has a preference for either consoles, but he does admit that next-generation NFS was the studio's focus.

"I think both consoles are more powerful than I thought they would be when we first got the specs and got the game running. We've pushed them both higher than I thought was possible," Nilsson says. "If I was going to have to pick a lead platform that we worked on, it would be the next-gen consoles. That doesn't mean that the current-gen consoles are a second thought. Current-gen consoles for us are really important. Our biggest market will be on PS3 and Xbox 360. The game needs to run and play really well on those consoles."

"Frostbite 3 is a very capable engine. It's a PC engine from the beginning, really, and as such it's very scalable. Which means that we can build a game for the high end new consoles – which are very similar to the PC, by the way – and it's not that easy, but you can really get a current-gen version out of Frostbite pretty easily as well. I'd say that the next-gen consoles look amazing, whereas the current-gen consoles are definitely the best-looking current-gen Need for Speeds that we've ever done. I think it shows the power of Frostbite, and also the skill set from learning those machines, knowing how to get the most out of them."

I had the opportunity for a hands-on NFS Rivals last week and its really coming along well, good fun, great graphics and lots of spot effects.

The videos you see here are of the PC version but we also played the PS4 version which looked identical.

Part 1 = Don't have a clue what I'm doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PmzsfMOHVk
Part 2 = Ok I've got it, gets get some criminal scum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcXw14oM7BE
Part 3 = Off Duty, going for a cruise around the map. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFQI8PxlunM

Thanks man, great watch. This has got me more excited for it. I've seen some of your videos before for F1 etc. I'm going to subscribe.

Wow that is like the most PR thing possible

It literally covers all possible constituents and tries vehemently not to step on anyone's toes without saying any new information

Well that's good news. I think that would make a lot of PC gamers happy.

The maps don't look that big. I watched the videos, and it seems like a small playing course. It looks possible to go over the same roads over and over again. Is this just the demo, this isn't the full game right?

 

[MutonCommander]

Wait, is the unlocked thing legit?Ea finally listened to reason?

The world is supposed to be 16km by 16km or 256 sq km. Around 159 sq miles?

It's like looking at a car but not being allowed to look under the hood until it's bought. Kinda shady.

Not really... you can literally wait a day and there will be hordes of footage and news about the game out to make an informed decision about your purchase. I mean you don't HAVE to buy it at midnight, day one if you are that concerned about certain things.
