Not what I expected... but in a good way! Thank god there is some art directions and style. It has an identity and I like it.

 

[Tommi84]

Looks horrible

 

[dotnotbot]

"Not for close-minded boomers" should be the text on the front cover. They're finally trying something fresh.

 

[Ristifer]

I'm liking the look of it! Not everything has to show raytraced nosehair shadows. This is an interesting blend of styles. Not sure if it'll be a good game or not, but at least it's trying something.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Where does it state those screenshots and trailer arent cgi? Because it IS. There is a very small 5 second clip of the actual graphics and gameplay.

The rest is just a cinematic.

How blind are you guys?

It's gameplay + cinematics. All in-game/in-engine, just from different camera views for editing purpose. You really think this level of graphics is unachievable for PS5/XSX/PC?

 

[nikos]

Looks great! Nice to see them doing something a bit different. I'm in there day 0.

Just because its a cinematic doesnt mean its CG. It could very well be realtime.

 

[MMaRsu]

Cgi or not its not gonna look like that when playing.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

It could very well be realtime.

It is.

 

[Stuart360]

Having realistic looking world and cars, then weird cartoon like effects and npc's, well its certainly different.
Not sure its for me though unfortunately.

Its EA. How long have you been in the gaming scene? Every big publisher touches up their footage in more ways than one.

 

[Lumpyoatmeal]

Found just one gameplay shot in the trailer. Like the lighting here. Reminds me of DriveClub. Material quality on the buildings is fairly high res.

This is my favorite shot. Absolutely gorgeous lighting and transition.

CGI quality, Pixar like

Just don't watch trailers then.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Its EA. How long have you been in the gaming scene? Every big publisher touches up their footage in more ways than one.

Yeah, sure, sure.
Believe what you want.

 

[nikos]

The trailer is 100% NOT CGI, just fancy camera work and transitional effects.

 

[SlimySnake]

You are learning.

The trailer is 100% NOT CGI, just fancy camera work and transitional effects.

When you can fool people into thinking realtime cinematics are CGi then you've done something right.

Yeah, sure, sure.
Believe what you want.

Game is 2 months away. Id be very surprised if it gets downgraded this close to launch.

Oh and its Targeting 4k 60 fps. It can actually look much better if they reduce the resolution.

 

[tusharngf]

Hype level over 9000...

 

[Tomi]

what the hell is this, haha

One word - Disaster

 

[DaGwaphics]

Looks interesting, nice to see a single player campaign. It looks a little OTT, which is the way I prefer racers anyway.

 

[spartan30gr]

This is with frosbite in engine trailer

What cgi you talked about?

 

[Black_Stride]

A racing game with an artstyle?

Im in.

 

[Lumpyoatmeal]

You are learning.

Lol

It's Frostbite, one of the most impressive game engines. I guess some people have not seen pre-release videos of Battlefront and Battlefront 2. Was that a CGI?

Oh, and NFS Unbound is next-gen only, so what is the reason to believe it's not gonna look like that?

 

[nikos]

Last three NFS game trailers, NOT CGI. This shouldn't even be a conversation really. If you've played enough games, especially on PC where you have graphics options and you learn what each one does, you can see a lot of the types of effects/methods being used in the game.

 

[SLB1904]

I hope is like underground. Weird we never had one like it since

 

[Victor Omega]

 

[Stuart360]

lol i dont get some of you. We get numerous great looking games where some of you lose your shit that they are cross gen, then we get a game like this that at least to me looks very much cross gen, and now you're arguing over whether its cgi and worried about it getting downgraded.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Last gen Frostbite game:

[Pantz]

I may be too old for this one

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Hope we can turn off the zoomer effects.

 

[Outlier]

I get it. It's not targeted at me and it doesn't interest me.
Don't like the art style or the urban theme, but at least it's different and seems fresh for the franchise, so best of luck to the game.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Forza killer!!??

No, HALO killer.

 

[Delt31]

Looks really good - actually excited for a new NFS!

 

[RaZoR No1]

Car list from the official site. Map is there too.

Where Toyota?

 

[Turk1993]

First mod on pc will be for removing all those cartoony effects. Other than that looks good and 4K60 on console is nice.

 

[DeepEnigma]

lol i dont get some of you. We get numerous great looking games where some of you lose your shit that they are cross gen, then we get a game like this that at least to me looks very much cross gen, and now you're arguing over whether its cgi and worried about it getting downgraded.

People have lost their damned minds over this shit.

 

[HTK]

That trailer art style is severely distracting from the gameplay and game visuals.

 

[GladiusFrog]

• Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Yes baby YASSSSSSS.

 

[Elder Legend]

Doo doo.

 

[Hugare]

Effects will be distracting af during gameplay

It occupies way too much space from the screen

Gameplay graphics are good, not sold on the whole drawings aesthetic tho

Just fucking remake Underground 2, EA ...

 

[EverydayBeast]

Gran Turismo to me is more relatable need 4 speed always felt like bullshit those poor cars are brutal.

 

[Zathalus]

Looks fun.

 

[EDMIX]

Not bad, the cartoon style might actually work out for NFS.

Agreed.

I love the exaggerated smoke effects. Looks like they are aiming for the whole street takeover race culture. I love it!

Even funnier is turns out that "insider" that as saying this game was having development trouble and delayed, the shit is revealed and coming this fall lol So much for "insiderz"

 

[VN1X]

Found just one gameplay shot in the trailer. Like the lighting here. Reminds me of DriveClub. Material quality on the buildings is fairly high res.

Really hope the game is as bonkers as that little clip makes it look.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I like the art style but don't like everything doing this hip hop culture look. I wish good music was popular.

 

[Black_Stride]

Always Strive And Prosper.

 

[HAYA8U5A]

Really liked Heat but this series is so inconsistent and seems to have no middle ground for me since I either seem to like them or hate them and never seem to just find them average or decent enough so I will remain cautiously optimistic. I do agree that I am worried the effects could be distracting but time will tell.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I’m in. Can’t wait to put a giant wing and 20 inch rims on a foxbody mustang.

 

[jaysius]

Animated characters with trying to be realistic cars makes no sense at all.

After all this time, we don't even get real gameplay in a trailer? This isn't a good sign.
