Would be cool like in that NfS Wii game were the streets were covered with the grafitti as you drive.
Can't wait for the downgrade!

I'm intrigued by that description, though.
Criterion + city reminds me of Burnout Paradise
At this point, why the hell not? Just make a competent racing game with a mediocre story that is literally anything besides "here's a festival" and I'll be there. Maybe even day 1.
That's a big maybe, though.

Obviously not writting it off based on early leaked footage, but this is a bizarre direction to take IMO. No sir I don't like it.
A game that looked like that would absolutely get my purchase. That would be so fucking hype it would be unbelievable.
Kinda in the same boat. I felt like NFS 2015 is the only recent one that knocked it out of the park visually.
I wonder if EA would even dare to make an anime inspired NFS. I remember from watching behind the scenes videos that as far back as Carbon that EA has flirted with Japan-inspired imagery (I know Carbon has Yumi, but in preproduction there was a full-on idol cosplayer character), but even in the height of BlackBox games didn't commit to it.
OH!
I quite like that...
I hope this is more NFS meets Initial D more than NFS meets Wachoski Speed Racer.
And to ellaborate on my post - I'm not against the cartoony imagery, but coupled with photorealism is pretty hard to nail. The final game may pull it off, but I'm skeptical - especially for the "mood" that playable space is going for (I think it would be easier to do with night and neon rather than bright colors and day light).
I'd be all for a modern take on the automobilista look though!
Gotta be honest, "anime" is exactly the kind of direction that NFS needs to go in. But this doesn't sound like it's going far enough. I'm talking full-on anime visuals, an over the top story with rivals and villains, panel cut outs of your opponents during races, crazy drifting, Burnout-style takedowns, etc. It would be a breath of fresh air. The NFS games have felt so incredibly soulless for so long. Going crazy with it would be a nice change of pace.
This looks pretty neat, but I hope they go even further with it (and combine that with an arcade-y drift model)
If this is the style they end up going for, it's pretty bad. Need for Speed: Fortnite
This is not a bad thing. We need more over the top arcade racers. But man I get the feeling budget has been reduced.
Was my first though! Do I get to drive Buff? Will Bean Bandit be a rival courier (there's no way we'd win)? Is Rally going to shoot a dude's thumb off?!Anime?
Cars?
Chicago?
Is this the return of Gunsmith Cats!!???
Wow, first time seeing this! So good! I was just thinking more along automodellista, but I would LOVE the next ID to have this look, or any racing game, really.
Is this all "in-engine'' stuff cause it look's real to me and I cannot believe that's all in-engine... Look's better than anything else next-gen i've seen to date.
Just let me start races without navigating through the open world like I can in Hot Pursuit. And make it another Burnout in disguise. I don't care too much how it looks. And oh, don't add any kind of "story". Seriously just cut that crap and put the resources elsewhere.
Fuck, so good.
On topic, this could go either way for me. I only like the HP series of NFS but I'll see what's up when they show more with an open mind
It has nothing to do with Underground games, except that it's always nighttime.
