Need For Speed releases next week on the PC and YouTube’s ‘BlackPanthaa’ has shared a new video, showing 9 minutes from it. Need For Speed is powered by Frostbite 3, supports 60fps, as well as a number of wheels and manual transmission. Enjoy the video after the jump!

As someone who has played this it really isn’t a good game.
How would you compare it to the older NFS games?
and an Empty/Dead city.
And that.
thanks if it was not for your comment I was already dropping 35€ for a key XD
If you have Origin Access you can try out NFS for 10 hours. That should give you plenty of time to try it out for extremely cheap. It will be launching on origin access soon.
probably wont buy it since its online only, knowing EA, they might pull the plug on the servers anytime they want, so no thanks.
Forza coming to PC threw a perfectly timed monkey wrench in to EA’s franchise milking
Two different types of racing games. Apex doesn’t appeal to me yet NFS does. Apex doesn’t even have a release date
Damn the video quality is abhorrent!
nfs need to get back to it’s root as more serious racer.
After 2010’s Hot Pursuit, the Need for Speed franchise went down the drain.
That was definitely a low point but I think the series started to falter at The Run (I originally said Rivals).
Indeed, the run, rivals were not so good. Hotpursuit 2010 was a good one imo. Will try the new one. I’ll see for myself before hating.
Hot Pursuit 2010 was good, hence I said “after”, Still, the high point for the Need for Speed franchise was between Hot Pursuit 2 (2002) and Carbon. Those games were awesome.
You’re right I confuse Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted. Most Wanted (2013) was the low point of the series.
It went down the drain many, many years ago. Basically, pick any NFS game which came out more than 10 years ago and you will have a better game.
With that kind of “features” such as manual transmission and 60 fps, they should also add to the list something like “keyboard support”, “mouse support”, or “ability to launch and quit game”.
Add “offline mode” to that list.
Just set in Game (like in Rivals) Only for Friends or Private Session.
NP with that in new NFS, and you have SP 😀
While everybody understands what you just said, and will most likely do that, the point was that if EA shuts the servers down you can’t play your game (that you paid 60$).
There’s a play alone option and ea wouldn’t just turn off the servers and not get the dev to completely patch out the all online features
Many games have suffered this fate from EA. Just sayin. I hope they do what you said though.
Not now, but another 10 years? I don’t see the servers of this game being online for that long. By that time, the next gen consoles will be out in the wild. I guess the same could be said for all purchase u make on online only MP games, or mobile games.
Yes, because EA has never shut down any servers for any game ever.
lol Then we are DOOOMeDDD 😉
Indeed we are 😀 but don’t worry and be happy.
lol
Ultra 60+ FPS here i come
my GTX 970 its ready
i just hope i will push ultra high 1440p 60+ but i am sure i will like in battlefront
That awful green filter.
They went completely overboard with all the post FX you’ve come to hate with the passion of 1,000 burning suns.
I like the style. Games like Battlefield 4 tried to get rid of the personal graphics effects and it just looks more awkward than BF3.
Not interested personally, but I’m glad they delayed it to get the frame rate sorted. Rivals was an absolute abortion, but at least they learned from it.
everybody was saying we dont want 30fps on PC back when Rivel came out and even more when they announced this NFS so they didn’t learn from Rival, they learned it from PC games who complained about 30fps lock but still they delayed the game only one month before launch.
Good Lord…..manual transmission and unlocked FPS are features in the modern era of gaming.And they should remove that hideous crash camera….FFFFFSSSSSSSSS
Whats with the annoying strobing light flashes.. can we get rid of that?
Shiny lights in the middle of the night passing through your vision, what do you expect?
No dude, not that, the other white flashes that happens in certain situations.
On march 1st 2016 all the remaining servers of DarkSpore were shutdown and you no longer can play your 60$ single player game anymore. happened to tons of other EA games before and will happen to NFS.
Yeah and especially since Battlefront on PC is doing so poorly, I won’t be buying another online EA based game ever again tbh, all those games have a few years worth of life in them and they ask for high premium prices, it’s factually not worth it.
what others EA singleplayer games were shut down? (honest question)
see Danial’s post below, they are 50 games + all of their old IOS games + BattleForge and all of their F2P titles. don’t worry, you will see more single player (online) games from them and companies like MS to go down in years to come. not to mention many studios closed down by EA.
$50 for CLass III Turbo upgrade
Clearly not worth 60$ (euros in my country) for a game which came half an year (if I’m not wrong) earlier for the consoles. Somewhere at 30$ / euros would be the max launch price I would pay for this always-online crap. Didn’t watch Youtube videos because I wanted to buy it, but now… not really. The graphics menu looks really poor and I am 70% sure the optimization is not the best. So, I am waiting for a sale on some of the local stores to get it for a better price.
Seriously, does anybody notice the 60 to 30 FPS dips and vice versa?
Been playing this on the trials program. So far I’m loving it, performance is excellent, on par w/ BF4 my sli 980’s are eating it up on max and the game looks great a definite step beyond Rivals.
The game itself has a real NFSU vibe going on which is a plus for me as that and Midnight Club where two of my favorite racing franchises.
I can’t speak to all of those games on that list, but can say that quite a few are still playable. Crysis,Crysis 2, Crysis Wars, Battlefront 2, Battlefield 2 Command and Conquer 3 are all still definitely playable those are just the ones I own. Not saying that I’m whitewashing what they are doing, just stating a fact
