Right before Need for Speed hits the stores EA published the Launch Trailer, which gives you an impression of the game. You can watch the video here:
Need for Speed is being released for Playstation 4 and Xbox One on November 3rd, 2015 in US, November 5th in Europe. Members of EA Access could already hop into the game today, on October 29th.
Need for Speed reached the Gold-Status, which means the development is finished and the game can go into production.
Need for Speed is being released for Playstation 4 and Xbox One on November 3rd, 2015 in US, November 5th in Europe. The PC version needs more work and comes in Spring 2016.
With EA Access you can start the game earlier, as a new trailer with The Lucas Brothers highlights:
Racing games have to feel as realistic as possible nowadays, which is even more important when it comes to authentic engine- and tiresounds.
For Need for Speed the audio engineers drove a BMW i8 over the Ebisu Circuit, to record with the electric engine the most realistic tire-sounds, without being drowned by the sounds of a fuel-powered engine.
You can read about that and sound recordings of other cars in the new article at Speedhunters:
EA added more cars to the list of cars that will be available in Need for Speed. Apparently there will be 51 cars, maybe there will be more available through DLCs.
Need for Speed will feature the BMW M2 Coupé, which will celebrate its video game debut. The model will be released in April 2016, but players can already drive it in Need for Speed in November 2015.
The BMW M2 Coupé represents the successor of the historical BMW 1 Series M Coupé. With its 6-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, the BMW M2 Coupé sets new benchmarks in terms of driving dynamics and agility. Moreover, the consistent use of iconic M design elements contributes to its expressive design and authentic M appearance. With an engine output of 272 kW (370 hp) and a maximum torque of 500 Nm, this car is a power pack, letting you know the true promise of ultimate driving pleasure!
