That camera work in the teaser made it one of the worst teasers I've ever seen for a game.
i hope we get real body kit manufacturers this time and not EA made up kids.
This, but the teaser gave me hope, with both S13 and GT86 sporting Rocket Bunny bodykits!
Almost every bodykit in Underground 1&2 were complete rice... And I don't talk about "autosculpt" in Carbon, what an ugly factory.
Driving movie/game number 100,001 lol.
I expect to see this yes? Now you have my attention...gimme dat buckload customization.
RUB IT IN MY FACE, EA.

That's not true. It's actually worse.
The first HP was called "Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit"
The third HP was called "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit"
Lol another one of those "this is a reboot so let's name it similar to the first game in the franchise"...and this is after they reused the name NFS: Most Wanted in 2013 and Hot Pursuit in 2012.
A "reboot" in NFS means nothing since they all play differently and have different focus.

The Crew, what an awful narrative.
Look at the flawless frame rate and camera angles. That's the biggest giveaway. No replay is capable of that either. Then there's the fact that this is multiplatform. This is just a target render.Doesn't look that good tbh, it's just that it being night time and the camera moving and shaking around a lot helps to hide away all the low quality assets we are accustomed to
Here for example you can see the low res texture on the palm.
If they combined Autosculpt with Undergrounds's customization, it'd be the best thing ever.

I've only played a couple of Need for Speed games, but what does "reboot" mean in this context? Weren't they all pretty much independent experiences from each other already?

It's implied that Underground 2 takes place after 1, I think.
Other than that?
Yeah.

What is up Need for Speed and reboots? No wonder when you mention certain NFS games and people ask "which one?"
How many times have you seen that before though and seen it differ when the game comes out
"Game Engine footage representative of all platforms"
How can you reboot a series where the sequels have very little connection at all? I mean, how is this different from just releasing a NFS game with another subtitle? It's a sequel, no matter how you look at it. Was Hot Pursuit a reboot of Hot Pursuit, just because it shared the name?

Underground 1, 2, MW and Carbon all take place in the same timeline in that order.

Graphics really reminded me of the Silent Hills teaser. Not a big fan of the police stuff as I just want an Underground-esque racing game (drag racing, drifting challenges, etc.) but I'll remain optimistic.

If other platforms are being held back because of it, and could actually look and perform better? Of course it would matter, what a silly question.
If at first you don't succeed, Try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try and try some more, then try a little more, then a bit more again.
Also gimme these tracks ghost because y'all need to convince me that i can go into the garage and listen to tracks like this.

I'm sorry, i can understand everything except the "narrative experience" part, it's a racing game, it does'nt need a story, it needs perfect gameplay above anything else, wether is 30/60fps, an arcade/sim, open world or not.
Pushing a "narrative experience" into a racing game is something that has been forced for years and failed every single time, this won't be the exception.

Actually if we were being real the title of this game would be.
Need for Speed 24: Underground 3
(yes this is actually the 24th main series Need for Speed game.)
If you don't count the games that were only on handhelds then it is
Need for Speed 20: Underground 3.
Using the wiki list as a reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Need_for_Speed_video_games#Main_series
Wow. I missed that, skipped the end.
You'd think they'd have that at the start, it looked wicked!
Maybe they were worried people would think it was too blurry or there was too much motion blur :s
Or maybe they're bs'ing. Lighting looked fantastic! They're saying it's the same engine as battlefront. Which is supposed to have good lighting, so maybe they thought they could get away with a bit more spruced up "gameplay" quality footage, who knows.
Hopefully that new engine comes somewhere near to what they've been showing, and not just for the people that can't really tell the difference.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Dude... You mind not shitting all over the thread?
Thanks.
OT:
This looks nice. Hopefully they come close to this, but their goals sound on point.
UG + MW is all NFS needs.

Their last like what 3/4 games had no story and people didn't like them much better. I'd be cool with a return to Underground/2/MW style stories. Nothing wrong with them.

It seems they are using latest Frostbite version with PBR used in Star Wars Battlefront. They both share same looks and materials.

The "narrative experience" was great campy fun in the Underground games and Most Wanted (2005) in my opinion. More of that please.

The only plot I ever remember in NFS is Most Wanted (2005).

I hope its good, but there is no way it is going to look like that on any platform.
I would like to hope that companies would stop claiming graphics will look like that in this day in age of it really didn't look like that.
