Electronic Arts has released the first official gameplay trailer for Criterion’s NFS game, Need for Speed Unbound. Need for Speed Unbound will be using the Frostbite Engine, and this trailer will give you a glimpse at its art style (and how the game plays).
In Need for Speed Unbound, players will race against the clock, outsmart the cops and qualify each week for the Lakeshore’s ultimate street racing challenge, the Grand.
Players will also have access to a new toolkit full of energetic visual and sound effects, including Burst Nitrous, a new boosting element for dizzying speed.
Furthermore, players will go to meet-ups and show off their style with a host of items from the world’s latest fashions, including exclusive gear.
EA will release Need for Speed Unbound on December 2nd. Criterion has also confirmed that you can disable the “cartoon-ish” effects showcased in the trailer.
Enjoy!

Dead on arrival…..
I feel this franchise has some french in it. Pardon my french I meant ubi.
At least we can disable them. A bit distracting and unnecessary.
Lol at the effects, gay
This is NFS Heat with the NFS Nitro’s art style coating on top!
Edit:
Checked Nitro’s gameplay, looks like I remembered it wrong, I think back in 2009 I watched a trailer that showed changing colour and some similar art style. but still this is Heat with graffiti art on top
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA, wait you serious let me laugh harder BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ja-f*cking-rring !!
Okay now! This looks awful. I was hopeful at first after teaser, but God mixing 2d comic effects with realistic cars and environment? I dunno if I should look for the turn ahead or the scribbled graffiti spammed on either side of screen. Jesus Christ! What’s up with the zoomer generation’s taste is out of my iq.
Like synthetic man said “you zoomers haven not played one good game in your life”
I was afraid that would be the case and not just a showcase for th teaser trailer. They fked up again and that happens every 2 releases. Fans have always made it clear they want a most wanted release yet they never deliver. https://media1.giphy.com/media/8aYLkCDqldRbq/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
Cartoony sh*t all over the screen. Just what NFS was in dire need.
NFS is done as a franchise. You’re better off just playing Forza games.
Forza has utter sh*t racing. You’re better of playing any Codemaster titles instead.
Another stingy and short video with fast cuts.
WTF is that?!! Just have no words…looks absolutely AWFUL! Who da fuq thought this was a great idea….r3t@rds!!
In GTA you can do that, plus kill people.
Hmm.
Anyone remember Blur? The Activision + Bizarre Creations game?
Dafuq?! Is this the new Nigg4 For Speed?
SMH
So… Well.
The only good thing is that you can turn off all those m*fo effects.
