For those who are curious - You can disable most of the effects You can use grip and it's much better than drift when you tune it right The races pay out more later (keep an eye on BIG MONEY events) Cops get harder over the campaign You need to do the side missions to unlock garages You can buy pre-customized versions of cars after side quests You need to upgrade the garage to unlock better parts.

If they keep releasing NFS games like Heat and Unbound, they might actually have a chance at bringing back NFS into the mainstream as a competitor against Forza. Forza is a hyper realistic (visual-wise) semi-arcade game, but thanks to that NFS could just go wild with their visuals and arcade style, and I feel like if they pull some creative stuff with the next NFS too, then the brand will regain some of its trust by the oldschool gamers, and it will attract a hell lot of newcomers too. Super hyped to see what they come up with the next time

I’m really enjoying this new NFS game. It seems (at least to me) to have pulled interesting gameplay mechanics from a few different mid-00s racing games and put them all together pretty seamlessly. The ones I’ve noticed (so far) are: - Slipstream/drift turbo and in-air car control from Midnight Club - the driveaway crash mechanic from Burnout - the calendar structure and betting mechanic from Juiced - Gymkhana (Takeover) races from DiRT 3 - Racebreaker and having to drive to objectives from NFSU2 there’s probably a bunch more I’m missing, but regardless it’s the first NFS game in a while that I haven’t been able to put down.

I doubt that’s the main reason they did it but it probably does free up some resources for better rendering elsewhere as you indicated.

Another huge plus for the game: when you unlock cars in single player, you get those cars in multiplayer as well. Pretty nice quality of life thing if you spend a lot of time in SP then want to give MP a shot

Picked it up at GameStop for $40 (also listed on Target for same price). Played for an hour after work, it’s a refreshing take on a racing game. So far I’m really liking it.

I found myself extremely hyped after hearing you describe how the game structure works. I like that in the beginning, you're not expected to actually finish 1st every single event, and that there's no rubberbanding AI. Along with how the heat and week systems work, and the fact that you can only retry an event 4 times in one in-game day, it really seems like the devs are actually trying to make it interesting and challenging. Looking forward to playing this game!

Really the only gripe I have with this game is that the heat just grows too fast. You’re spending most of your day on Heat 5 anyways and the night will be Heat 5 every time. So it just gets annoying to dodge and deal with the cops all the time. Also the Cop chase resume after a race doesn’t really work as intended, because they put me in the chase lots of times when there was no cop around me but chasing the other racers who were miles behind me.

The game looks great and fluid. I loved me some of the Old NFS' (HS and UG2) but have mainly been playing Codemasters racers for the past 10 or so years. This might just get me back to NFS.

Unbound's graphics is actually very optimized rather than Heat where in my experience i can't even play at high settings without getting very bad frames all the time (sometimes 20fps), Unbound stays at 60fps all the time even in ultra settings, rain doesn't bog the frames down, and the cops swarming you also doesn't lower your overall performance which is very nice!

Mad respect for Gameranx. Consistently uploading videos every single day for us. One of the reason I'm enjoying this channel so much is of their dedication.

Very thorough review. Thank you Falcon

The special palace edition is on sale right now for 40 bucks in the PS Store. Regular version is still 70.

What I wish they could add in the online mode is custom races like they did in Payback where you can race from point A to B and still earn cash. Only thing I wish they would add is the type of races like laps, sprint, and even togue drifting. I would looooove to get canyon races like in Carbon if they update the map in the future to give me that Initial D feel. So far, solid and better game than Heat!

@@InternalxHD no worries, pretty sure there's underglow. I'd definitely give this NFS a go, if you like Underground, you'll definitely like this.

One thing I really like about this game is that each racer has a backstory and talks to you during the race, also when you pick them up they give dialogue as well. Instead of just being computers that you beat for cash.

The last NFS I bought was Underground 2. This one caught my eye though, I've really been enjoying it.

This looks like a GREAT game!! I'm looking forward to this! I haven't played a NFS game in a LONG TIME

I honestly didn't know they made another NFS game but I will say that I'm hoping they'll remaster NFS Underground that was very fun to play back in the day.

They should create events called the long haul where it's like an a to b racing but over a long distance and the catch is that the map gets disabled so you need to learn the actual world. Another mode i think would be interesting could be something called road tag where you race over a various distances without a map so you need to learn the map and check points so when you reach a check point, you get out of your car run towards your friend waiting and you tag him. He gets into his car and continues the race etc. Id play that.

For me is lacking free roam cars that you can challenge for a quick event, maybe a drag, point to point, quick drift event, or even something big like a Heat related event when you challenge another racer to complete objectives against the police (Number of takedowns, cost to state, number of units chasing, time in pursuit, etc)

I honestly love this game. I have almost no complaints. It’s Really fun game though. And the graphics look amazing in person I haven’t been able to put it down. I love the music playlists within the game, the scenery, the fact that it is basically taking place in Chicago even though they name the city “lake shore” in the game which is actually a Main Street in Chicago “lake shore dr”. I love the direction they took this game in. Mixing rap/hip hop, with racing & this whole wierd style of design as far as characters and effects. It’s Truly a new step up for racing games.

I honestly think that it would do need for speed some good if they put in a little spice from the Burnout games. The problem of event variety would be almost totally eliminated if you had Stunt runs and Road rage. While the drift events and takeovers are fun, with a game that has the flashy art visuals like this one does, a stunt run would be the most awesome thing ever and you can build your car(s) for that purpose. Same thing goes for a road rage component, have events where you can just wreck other racers and cops and have a customization capability of making a tough brawler type vehicle. You can have that variety of play whilst having a more grounded realistic feel to it over the burnout games where it’s not as realistic. Especially Criterion having a prevalent hand in this game, they definitely could make that happen now or in the future. In my opinion, in the NFS Most Wanted remake in 2010 or whatever year around there, I loved that when cops chased you, you didn’t always feel like prey and worried your head off when a chase ensued fearing to lose everything you’ve been grinding for and it was super fun to be able to wreck the heck out of them, especially if you had the Ford Raptor suped up for that. That game just lacked in customization quite a bit. All in all, Unbound looks to be a decent game with fun to be had regardless.

I like that they're adding style to the game, but if you're going to do so, go all out... Add even more cel shaded graphics, as the city looks pretty boring. The narrator of the video seemed pretty bored with the game as it feels too similar to prior games... Here's what I've been missing from the NFS games since the *PS2* days... 1) more WILD+NEW+EXOTIC cars, instead of the same ol cars in each game... Nice to see the Eclipse in this game, but we need MORE unique/new to the series cars in these new NFS games to actually excite fans..it IS a game about CARS after all... 2) the sense of SPEEEEEEED!!! What happened to games like Burnout, RIDGE RACER/RAGE RACER + the first THREE NFS games on PS1?! Again, it IS a RACING game.. Turn UP the damn heat, not down! I'm not excited by the slow sense of speed of the game, and part of that is due to the tracks, or lack thereof... 3) EXCITING tracks... Not everything needs to be realistic. The narrator of this video isn't the only one getting bored of open world racing games with boring generic streets... I'll take the tracks from NFS3 on PS1 ANY day over these visually and technically boring open world "tracks". This would help with sense of speed too, as tracks are MADE for speed unlike a city.....

This one could be big for EA. They released it just at Black Friday and it seems like it could hold it's value better than their games in the past that relied on the cash shop to make revenue as the game filled up the bargain bins. If they can prove that you can get a complete experience for one price, the game will hold it's value longer and early adopters will feel better about their purchase and look to buy the next game at release.

Im not sure if you talked about the car delivery and racer SOS challenges. Those were pretty fun to me.

Noticed some of those burnout crash animations. Man i miss that series.

After years complaining abou modern NFS, this game actually made me like the series again, of course there are some issues, mainly physics related, sometimes when drifting the car just doesn't want to get straight again and starts doing some weird movement, also, lower level cars understeer so much, you need to be really slow and gentle to be able to take a corner without drifting or sliding away because your front tyres have no grip, it's a pretty weird mechanic since it's an arcade game, sometimes it makes me feel I'm playing some sort of simulator, also, something that really brakes the immersion for me, is the sound track, it feels so small and repetitive, the garage sound track is so good, but the open world and racing one don't match up, the songs are kind of out of place in my opinion, not that the song itself are bad, they just don't match the action, you are on a lvl 5 heat chase, with 2 helis, 15 cop cars, racing against the top tier cars, and it's playing "Kolo Kolo" as I said, the song is actually cool for some kind of meet or just cruising around, but not on the action, I really thought this game would have more drift phonk, since it's basically the only thing young car guys hear today, I've played the 10 hours test from EA play, and actually considered buying the game, but the price is too expensive in my country, but it's definitely in my steam wishlist for future sales
