Theres gonna be the usual flood of haters towards "another" NFS game but...this actually looks to be pretty damn good. Solid framerate though please this time around...thats all i ask :)
They finally went towards a more realistic color scheme and lighting. Looks extremely nice imo; Turn10 is going to have to step up their game in the graphics department.

The graphics look like they might even rival Gran Tourismo and there is 6months for Need4Speed is released. Very impressive.
Looks nice...hopefully NFS can have a paradigm shift away from being a perennially weak franchise and be born again as something worthwhile, after the low point of the last game the only possible way is up really...

... where?
No way in hell it's gonna be 60 FPS.

"Car models, track sides and vehicle interiors are awash with levels of detail most genre entries simply can't afford. Shift's even pushing out some visual techniques such as detailed soft shadows, full-screen anti-aliasing and a rock-solid 60fps framerate."
Looks good graphically. Right up there with GRID. I wouldn't put it in GT territory, but very good. Models look good. Lighting is pretty good, not as good as GT. Hopefully gameplay is tons better than NFS in the recent past. NFS hasn't offered me anything compelling enough to purchase in years... but when will we hear from Forza 3?
If the game isnt like the glitchy NFS Prostreet on PC im in. I cant believe that I couldnt run a stable framerate with 4 gigs ram, 2.8 ghz core duo and an 8800gt at even low settings >.>
I think it looks excellent! The contrast in colors and lighting is extremely nice. That's what a lot of racers lack... they always have a bland, gray road with very little contrast, but this looks great.
It reminds me a lot of Project Gotham, but I'm not gonna complain. I'm waiting for somebody to point out that in the second picture there's blur everywhere and then the car in the distance is crystal clear lol. Not like I care, but I figured I would beat somebody to the punch haha.
Bullshots, surely? Check out the mirrored textures on pics 1 and 6. It just looks plain ATM. More needs to be done - and i've heard little about how the cars will handle...
I can't wait to play this. I haven't played the NFS games much after the Porsche one but this seems interesting. What I understood it's track based which is just awesome. I am so glad it's not free roam.

Commented on 2009-03-04 18:51:02Anyway their statement about handling sounds promising. I just hope that in the end it does not feel like GRID .
Looking good I hope the new EA stays on track and revives NFS in a meaningful way.

Commented on 2009-03-04 22:12:37As for the gameplay, I fear the worst. The previous 3/4 NFS games were complete disasters. Needless to say, I'm being very cautious with optimism.

Commented on 2009-03-04 22:59:24Now please fix all issues that messed up all NFSs since NFS:HP!
P.S. Please EA, close the drivers visors. The faces look like dickshittwins
