Sounds like E.A really is holding back development on other platforms because of MS $$$$.

negative4667d ago

That's what it sounds like? That's what you got from that article?

OR did you fail to read it??? That's what I thought.

Thankfully school starts again soon....

trafalger4667d ago

so when ps4 exclusives run at 30fps or in 720p are we going to blame m$ for that too?

does anyone know if this game is also locked to 30fps on the pc? if it isnt then its not about choice, its about limitations of the hardware.

tokugawa4667d ago

hold on, i thought the ps4 version was the king of need for speed??

MWong4667d ago

I thought at E3 they said it was running at 1080p & 60fps? That's crazy why will all platforms be downgraded to 30fps. Well I was a maybe with this NFS game now I'm a no.

Retroman4667d ago (Edited 4667d ago )

I'm a no too. simple fact the feeling of Rival spirit is not the same as BLACKBOX studio HOTPURSUIT 2, UNDERGROUND spirit.that SPIRIT is not in this game. another BURNOUT clone this game is.

EA pass the toolkit back to blackbox studio or back to EA Canada studio who made the first NFS on 3DO

ALL DRIVE really??? how about simply making NFS, Need For fking Speed without Auto-log--All drive crap. EA you call this: GOING BACK TO IT'S ROOTS?? go look at FIRST 7 NFS taking ideals or rebooting them is going back to roots not adding ALL DRIVE able to jump in someone personal game-AUTO-LOG do we REALLY need auto-log?? i say not. going back to it's roots
that has not been accomplish yet.

MWong4667d ago

I've said it before and I'll say it again. NFS to me hasn't been the same since ProStreet. I loved when EA BlackBox & EA Canada were handling the NFS series.

windblowsagain, You didn't even read the article and posted a TROLL statement BUUUT this is N4G and you will get a "Well Said" for your troubles.

windblowsagain4667d ago

Not really bothered what people think of the comment.

My point is this.

xbox360 - ps3 - 4.4gigapixels

Wii u - 5-6gigapixels(new info)

Xbox one - 12.8gigapixels

PS4 - 25.6gigapixels

GTX780 - 43gigapixels

7970 - 64gigapixels.

It's not everything. But it's enough.

Stsonic4667d ago

surely the PC version will not be locked to 30fps this does not happen anymore.

ExitToExisT4667d ago

Even if they lock the fps to 30, usually disabling v-sync in game and enabling in from nvidia control panel works for me.

Master-H4667d ago

Even if they do lock it , the Mod community would solve the problem, like they did Dark Souls.

Skate-AK4667d ago

Because of AllDrive? Sounds like bull.

JunioRS1014667d ago

This is why I have a problem with cross-gen development

-__-

Watch Dogs, BF4, CoD, AC, NFS, EA Sports games... All of them face the same bottleneck.

I guess this is just what has to happen during console transitions. It's very annoying though.

Blaze9294667d ago

sounds like bs excuse to me

Better not be. I platinumed Forza Horizon 5 on my PS5, and I like NFS games BETTER that Forza Horizon. It's too easy to get cars you'll never use in Forza. It never gives you that feeling of being chased or scared of the Police when you have a high rep score or whatever it is. NFS is better in my opinion, or at least more fun.

Deathtracker325d ago

NFS is the best racing franchise 4me.

ActualWhiteMan325d ago

NFS hasn’t been good for 20 years

lukasmain325d ago

Forza Horizon 5 is still awesomw btw,

I just found that I enjoy NFS games better. I think they're more fun

DivineHand125324d ago

I don't not agree because it has been a while since I enjoyed a Need for Speed game.

The last outstanding release they had was Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005. That game made me feel like I was a character in the older fast and furious movies.

Forza Horizon not only has more than 10x the content, it is a different type of game that brings in something fresh. It is not perfect as I think drifting and the progression path sucks in Forza Horizon but every other game mode is on point.

FPS_D3TH324d ago

Respectfully, NFS has about the depth of Mario kart when it comes to their racing games over the last decade or two

There's no way that will shelve the franchise but it does need to be redefined the franchise had many a reinvention over its three plus decade lifespan with high and lows and everything in between.

It's not dead but they do need time to redefine it

jznrpg325d ago

If it isn’t live service I’d be interested in another NFS

Abnor_Mal325d ago

PS2 Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit2, best NFS game of all time.

Mroc13323d ago

Hell yeah! The controls felt off in the later versions that came after

BlaqMagiq1324d ago

All they had to do was give us remakes or remasters of NFS Underground 1 & 2.

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.

OnlyThoseOnTheFence2491d ago

High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.

steven83r2491d ago

Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.

CYALTR2490d ago

He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"

Retroman2491d ago (Edited 2491d ago )

From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.
