At Gamescom 2019, Electronic Arts revealed the first gameplay trailer for Need for Speed: Heat. However, it appears that a demo version of this new racing game is available to the press. As such, IGN has shared a video showing 7 minutes of gameplay footage from it.
This video will give you an idea of what you can expect from this new Need for Speed game. We strongly suggest watching it as you’ll get a glimpse at the game’s control/car handling mechanics. This is something that will interest a lot of racing fans (hint: it’s arcade as it should be). Moreover, we can take a look at the environmental destructibility that is mainly due to the Frostbite Engine.
By day, players compete in the Speedhunters Showdown, a sanctioned competition where they earn Bank to customise and upgrade their garage of high-performance cars. At night, players risk it all to build their Rep in underground races. In these events, a rogue police task force roams the streets, ready to take racers down and swipe all their earnings.
Ghost Games has stated that the game will not have any loot boxes or microtransactions. However, there will be a time-save pack, which will show all collectables on the map.
Need for Speed: Heat will come out on November 8th.
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Here is another video, showing 17 minutes of gameplay footage!

They made a bad choice using this frostbite engine for a high speed racing game. The pop-in is just crazy and the driver isn’t even in a mildly fast car. Also the screen bugs/twitches like crazy whenever nitro is used. In some cases even the water reflections take time to appear… how is that acceptable when the game is around 3 months away from full release?
Yet another quick cash grab by EA imho.
No mention of that framerate? It looked like it was running sub 30 at all times…
I won’t play a racing game that’s not locked at 60 fps minimum.
Yep, 4k@4fps
Worse is the floaty Frosbite physics, cars look like they hover.
No weight to the cars, just sh*t physics all around.
A racing game that you can hit everything like a cake,
don’t worry kid as long as your pc not crash you will never crash in this game,
chocobo racing is 10 time more challenge than his game.

If you want John, BlackPanthaa has a LV.5 Heat Police chase gameplay, you should prob add that as well and stuff .
Honestly, if I was playing, the game would be 10x more appealing, more than the game has shown to be, that’s just honesty . folks, like Alita says, I am not impressed .
Alin, Durka, anyone else, let me lay down the line, you’ll burn halfway across the highway, trying to burn with Amber . <3
What I am saying^, Get the game, and let's brun the streets .
See, to drift, you double tap the right trigger .
Also the handling is actually improved, if you watched BlackPanthaa you would know .
you were whining about this game being bad, remember that?
Nope, I remember this though . Me telling the lot of you, you can question and still have hope, now, I consider you a friend, was I mistaken? I guess so . Listen to me, you tried to burn with Amber and you went up by her flames .
The information I have seen and told you to go look at and the gameplay I have seen and told you to go look at, changed my mind, stop running and burn .
Nothing more, Nothing less .
Help!
I’m having a seizure!

This is all i can think of.
So you couldn’t answer me . Sigh . you let me down, friend ,
answer what? I asked you wtf you do with gta v mods and you mocked me.
Looks terrible just like the other one, Does 60fps, f*ck it, Does a stable 30fps comes via lootboxes ?
better trailer

Exactly, now you see, more of this, why do we need to fight each other when the truth is, we both have a drive for NFS Heat?

200km map and its filled with tight turns in mountains and closed track races.
pfffft
Outside of the glaring issues mentioned below, this is one of those crappy racing games where no matter how fast you go, how much NOS you use, the NPCs always match that speed until they decide to fake a slow turn to give you the pass. There is zero skill involved, just a scripted mess designed to make you feel like a winner -blue ribbons for everyone.
When you crash, all the NPCs drop down to 20mph to let you catch up and then they speed up again to match your pace.
You can see evidence of this in the above video. I’m gutted… this isn’t the NFS: U I was hoping for… just another pile.

Truth hurts?
Replying to the both of you, I am not going to sit here and explain, you can’t see the quality, nor the truth, then miss out .
It’s called rubberbanding, EA admitted using it and yes, it sucks.
Those cops were damaging more public properties than those racers
also why there is water on every roads yet the sun shining, is this a GTAIV mod or what!!
I might be in the minority, but if this game had power ups, mines, and other ways to damage other cars like in Blur, it’d be more interesting.
Anyone know of a game similar to Blur? (stupid silly game but so much fun on split screen with friends)
Check out Grip. I don’t know if you ever played Rollcage, but Grip is the spiritual successor to it. Also, I don’t know if you have a PS4 or not, but Wipeout Omega Collection is a really good combat racing game.
Thanks, I’ll revisit Grip it’s been a long time. Never heard of Rollcage, it’s from 1999 and pretty plain from what I saw on youtube (no surprise from back then) but I’ll probably grab it anyway, surely wont cost much. Thanks!
The speed sensation it provides is like driving around with your gramma!
Still doesn’t look as good as NFS 2015 …. EA must regret releasing that game so bad.
tiny map.
tiny beautiful and well detailed >>>> huge inferior map.
yes but 2015 map was copy paste
Everything that was wrong with Payback regarding game design or gameplay has return. It’s the same as with Ubisoft and their Assassin’s Creed saga.
They won’t fix anything because obviously they think: if we fix things maybe it won’t sell because people are morons, as it has been proved.
Not interested.
