Here's our first official look at the next Need for Speed.
spoiled the surprise, Electronic Arts has officially unveiled Need for Speed Unbound, a new addition to the long-running racing series coming in December that promises to blend"elements of the freshest street art with the most realistic looking cars in Need for Speed history."
I was a little iffy on Need for Speed Unbound's look when I first saw the leaked screens, but the trailer has me a lot closer to buying in. Keeping the cars as realistic as possible while surrounding them with highly-stylized characters and decidedly-unrealistic visuals is definitely an interesting approach to the genre: At the very least, it's a distinct break from the all-out hyper-realism that racing sims typically pursue.
The campaign, unfortunately, sounds a little less than innovative:"A robbery at a family auto-shop tears two friends apart and marks the rise from rookie to top racer on a journey to win the ultimate street race and reclaim the priceless car that was stolen." I mean, that's basically just a plot from one of the early Fast and Furious movies, right?
Multiplayer will also be a big part of Unbound, as players"connect with the online street racing community in underground meetups" and tear-ass through the city of Lakeshore in an online freeroam mode. Naturally, there will be cops. A$AP Rocky, who will feature prominently in the Need for Speed Unbound soundtrack—that's his new track in the trailer, called Shittin Me—will also be in the game as part of a brand-new event in which you'll have to"prove your skills... in style.
