Need for Speed Rivals - New Screens

It's not that they are particulary impressive. But too clean and composed. Obvious bullshots but it might look like this in motion, yes. Not in a gameplay screen. Ofcourse we just may have different eyes.

Composing an image doesn't make it a bullshot, that just means it isn't actual gameplay. Also, you say too clean - Isn't that the hallmark of PC screenshots? AA, downsampling AF etc. it's super easy to achieve, just depends on the hardware you have as to how playable it is. Nothing in those shots say bullshot to me, looks like a decent shot you'd find the high-res screenshot thread.

It's about what I'd expect out of a cross-gen title:
-Better reflections
-A fair amount of tessellation
-Improved texturing on the cars
-Some moderate enhancements to the objects in the environment and draw distance

Notably these are all things you can turn off and get pretty much the same game working on current-gen.

Yeah I agree, looks like the natural progression you'd expect out of a racing game.
 
The image quality is obviously heavily downsampled, but it's not that hard to get close.

Here's a screenshot derFeef took from NFS: Hot Pursuit (2010):

I agree.
Still, to me the difference is aparent.
Not in motion though.
 
The new Most Wanted looks about as good to be honest.

And those pictures I guess confirm that it's 720p on consoles. I was really hoping 1080p/60fps on ps4. Looks like I'll just wait for a sale for $15 or less on PC.
 
Big ol' meh from me.

Please reboot underground instead of making hot pursuit style games for ever

A NFS Underground reboot with no sign of Criterion in the development would be pretty damn awesome. I give it a 0.3% chance of actually happening but it will always be nice to think about.
 
Criterion NFS games are weak and the last NFS had big input lag on PC. Another NFS doesn`t really excite me.
 
This game better deliver and it better have manual gear shifting in it and yes it's important to have even in an arcade racer. I was pissed that MW didn't have this feature.
 
Game does look nice.

The only problem I have with it is that I'm not sure I need another one of these games, Burnout took me ages to complete and the last Crterion's NFS probably still has months of play in it for me and I won't want to go straight into a PS4 version.
 
i cancelled my preorder as soon as i found out its basically only vs, i LOVED the jump highest or drift longest etc in the new Most Wanted and paradise

it does look really nice tho, makes me have hope for next years (?) burnout styled NFS :P

ok seriously. why so shiny ? its glowing. that's too much (O_O)

still.. the only racing game i am buying this generation
 
Not that far off actually. First next gen game. Played at E3 and was blown away.

Already passed away from Most wanted for Wii U.

I think this will explode my head for first time seeing only if it's 60fps otherwise nothings will happened.
 
I haven't really read up on this game too much, so pardon my ignorance, but is it shaping up to be similar to Criterion's Hot Pursuit? I'd love a successor to that game.
