The more realistic looking cars clash with the cartoony effects. It's like mustard on a peanut butter sandwich.

They made a remaster relatively recently thats like 30 bucks on PC, probably less if you get it on console.
If you can find a code or DVD for the OG on PC it should be pocket change and the remaster brought nothing to the table cept all the DLC.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

I wouldn't even call this a NFS game

It's not just about looking nice. ME Andromeda's woes are partly due to the fact that Frostbite is very, very difficult to get working for anything that is not an FPS.

Why?
Its closer to:
The Need For Speed
Need For Speed II
Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit
Need For Speed: High Stakes
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
Its probably one of the most pure Need For Speed experiences in the last 15 years.
Need For Speed going tuner culture was actually a shift in the series.
<---Agrees its actually a Burnout Sequel without the Crash mode.

it doesn't feel like NFS. the physics feel like a less crazy Burnout.
NFS had a very weighty feel since forever, and Criterion's games did so far not feel like NFS

The remaster is amazing and runs at native 4K on PS5/X - and you can get it for like 9.99 on sale. It's indeed the last good Need for Speed. No cringe characters, classic art style, all races, no fat.

This new edgy thing is not for me. NFS lost me years ago. Happy to be proved wrong and that the game is amazing, though.

Looks cool, if it doesn't have the weird driving model from HEAT I'm in.

By since forever which games are you talking about that "feel like NFS".
Cuz Underground, Underground 2 and Most Wanted had a very different feel to the prior titles. (Tap drifting was pretty much introduced with these, and HP'10 uses that driving style too).
Carbon and Undercover felt very different to ProStreet and Shift.
Shift 2 felt different to everything else in series cept maybe Porsche 2000.
The Run was a new handling model that also didnt last beyond its title.
Most Wanted'12, Rivals, No Limits again had a different driving physics most similar to Hot Pursuit'10 but still different.
Need For Speed'15 for me felt and looked good, but the always online and shoddy servers made it a chore to get through.
We wont talk about Payback.
Heat was decent.
Will wait for Unbound to see how this feels.
Im hoping its Criterions handling model though.
So which of all the varied driving and physics models is the one you say "feels like NFS"?
Just dawned on me:
My family are such hoarders, I could probably find all the boxes for the entire NFS series prior to NFS'15.
Even a PC cardboard box of Porsche 2000.

Thanks for mentioning this, it prompted me to see whether it was on sale at the moment on PSN and it is. £3.49. Absolue steal.
Burnout paradise is also on sale for a fiver. Both run at 4k/60fps on the PS5 so I'll take that. And people say digital isn't any good, all you have to do is wait for sales.

The Remaster was 3 bucks a few days ago when I bought it(PC), definitely a great buy at that price.

I was down on the art direction when those leaks came out. Now seeing it in motion, I dig it. I could be wrong, but it seems like they have a path to a Switch release with the type of visuals on display.

this is lame. 570 is a 5 tflops polaris card roughly equivalent of a 4 tflops RDNA2 card like the xss. This game should be targeting 10 tflops as the minimum baseline. Right now the xss is basically the lowest common denominator. just a 2x increase from last gen. Insane decision by Criterion.
BigbyTheSheriff

Why should it? Why insane decision?
Besides, Dead Space Remake requires RX5700 (8 TFLOPS) as minimum yet works on much weaker Series S.

Ahem.
So next gen 3rd party games are gonna target a 4TF 1440p baseline and we're ok with this because $299?
As if cross gen focus wasn't bad enough (look what it did to Halo), now we have the "next gen" baseline being 1440p and 4TF. Devs will cater to the lowest common denominator. Make no mistake about it, games will be held back all gen thanks to Series S. This just seems like the worst idea in...
A lot of us knew this was coming.
And then at the same time people want to complain about how we are stuck with the same games over and over again despite being in support of this. It's laughable.

Because its a next gen only game? Minimum specs should be the console specs, not a GPU thats 2.5x slower than the PS5.
This just proves that its next gen in name only.

Yeah, that was my fear all along, but after seeing UE5 target the PS5 as the baseline and the downport to the xss causing it to dip significantly below 530p I was happy that it wont be the case. This is the first time we've seen a next gen only multiplatform game and its targeting the series s specs. All at 60 fps so basically a 2 tflops game. Very disappointing.Ahem.

Yeah, I'm not gonna participate in that discussion. I think Series S is fine and much needed in current economic climate.

"Next gen" is meaningless now. We are beyond generations and that's how it's going to be. Get used to it.
Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Talks Gaming Beyond 'Generations'
E3 2018 kicks off this week, so it’s understandable that the topic of “what’s next” is all around us. With Xbox One and PlayStation 4 being some of the first conferences to hit, many gamers are wondering what the future holds for their gaming pleasures. According to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, there...

That was said over 4 years ago. Is the industry producing more great games than it was then? Nope. Is gaming now in a better place for everyone than it was then? Is it hell.
We've had recessions before and we will have them again. Never before has it stifled attempts at technological advancement and innovation though. The current economic climate is just a convenient and timely excuse at the moment.

Do the console versions run on 1080p with everything on low settings? Because that is what minimum specs should run. Maybe even on lower resolutions...

Well the matrix UE5 demo ran similar to that on consoles and look at how good that looked. That was a good indication of what would be possible if the next gen consoles were actually the min spec for PC going forwards.
I'm not even sure what these companies are aiming for anymore. It makes no sense to make a game "next gen" only for consoles but then have minimum specs on par with last gen consoles on the PC side.
Maybe they plan on doing a last gen port of the game at a later date (or at least want to keep the option open in case the game flops).

the current economic climate isnt even that bad. We went through the great recession and still got next gen consoles. Albeit with underpowered CPUs, but the GPU and RAM upgrades were substantial."Next gen" is meaningless now. We are beyond generations and that's how it's going to be. Get used to it.

It's a bs excuse. Series S was designed in 2018. No one knew bats had covid back then.
The series s runs the game at 1296p at 60 fps. The 570 isnt running the game at the lowest settings at 1080p 30 fps. The baseline is the series s. PS5 and XSX are basically going to be the same setting only at 3-4x the resolution.

It is not? Source?
Because the game on the lowest setting on pc could look on par or even worse than it would look on last gen?

Anyway, can't wait to give this game a try on my PC and Series S.

The series s is running the game at 1296p 60 fps. why would a polaris card with the same performance profile run the game at half the framerate and lower resolution???
