: / - i'm not sure why but I'm underwhelmed.

If its gonna be good, I will get it. Good racing game is always welcome. I just hope they will enhance the driving itself with more decent physics ( I know its not Forza or GT5) to be it more challenging and fun. And please no more jumping from one car to another. Good old way of making money and unlocking new things.

There's been years since I played a Racing Game. I liked NFS: Underground 2. A shame that no new NFS game is been made with this theme anymore.

need for speed : RAIN !!!

Here, fixed that for you. ;)

But seriously, what's to be underwhelmed by? It looks amazing. Better than NFSMW2012 and that looked amazing. It'll be more of the same, hopefully, more the same goodness but looking amazing.

Agreed. I miss when NFS was about street racing and the "fast & furious culture". High-end supercars are neato and all, but I'd like to take a Joe-average car, sticker it up, boost it to NASA levels and bomb around town.

Oh, another Need for Speed already? Guess that means the game will suck?

at least this one looks nice ..but it's gonna rain forever I guess

Looking mighty fine booyah

Looks nice enough. Unfortunately, every Need for Speed game simply copy/pastes the description from the previous 10 games and adds a single feature. This time its rain. I typically can only get into one or two racing games per gen before I get burned out, and I don't think "rain" is going to cut it for me...oh and Ferraris.

pics look really nice but are they really in game? looks too sharp and clean to be in-game

Racing games are the best way to show off a new console. Let's see how it turns out.

I can still see imperfections in the models.

The first screenshot looks like it could be next gen, however PGR4 captured that graphical quality with weather effects like 4 years ago on 360.

Speaking of which, imo PGR3/4 still has the best handling/controls of any racing game iv'e played this gen. Forza Horizon did pretty well in balancing simulation/arcade in terms of gameplay.

But honestly id be more impressed if these were 360/PS3 screens. And actually they probably are, just taken in the ''photo mode''. Forza Horizon's photo mode made the pictures taken look nearly photo-realistic.

Well, you're forgetting that this game will be running more than double the resolution of a 360 game, will look much sharper and cleaner as hardware now is able to A) more efficiently use AA and B) produce a much cleaner AA effect because of the resolution, and, and then the fact that all we've really seen are the car models (looking at Forza 5, the thing that really improved was the environmental stuff. The cars look sharper because of the greatly increased resolution, but it was the environments that really impressed). These models look great, and they are being shown much closer than you'll ever see during gameplay.
On top of that, we have no idea how the game will actually look running in real time, in motion.
And trust me, whenever people look at these things, they say "nah, that's not that much better." Truth is, if you looked at them side by side, you'd probably be amazed. Especially because of the resolution and cleaner lines and increases to detail in the environment.
Also, Forza Horizon even in photo mode did not look nearly photorealistic. The textures were poor, the models were pretty good, and the environments were a bit lacking. It was excellent for the hardware it was using, but there's no way that it stands up to this. Even with all of the AA in the world.

That's what the last Need For Speed game looked like, that's what a 360/PS3 game looks like. Side by side, there's no fuckin' competition. This one beats out Most Wanted by a large margin. And Most Wanted was already a very nice looking game despite it's low resolution and detail. This is the first NFS game on the new generation of hardware. This is just the start. Remember real early 360 games? Kameo, perfect dark, etc? Now look at games like Gears of War 3. If this is where this generation is starting, it's going to be interesting to see where it goes.

The Frostbite 3 engine is looking good there. Not that bad actually as the rain/water drops on the cars looks individually distinctive. I hope the weather effects in this game will add more experience to the game. I'm getting this for the PS4.

Also, I guess this is where the "Share" button on the DS4 will come in handy >> "As a racer, the goal is to become infamous for taking risks behind the wheel and capturing your most intense escapes on video for the world to see."

The trailer looks good. This game is going to have nice gfx

Guys, remember what the first NFS looked this generation ?:

Need for Speed Rivals should be compared to that. Both are first iterations for the new generation, and both games also came out for the older machines aswell.

So yeah, for a first step...it looks pretty awesome :)

meh, I'm going to call it - it's just another minor update (visuals) and nothing that will get me to play this series again.

Need For Speed: Raindrops ;)

Ayay yay 2 Bad for the PC version, fuck frostbite, again lag and echo...

I was trying to figure out what the Aston Martin Vanquist was. Then I realised the H is just clipping through the car. Doh.

never heard of Ghost games, what games have they made before?

hahaha yes!! Same here! Bad shot for a promo!
