Yesterday, the second fantastic trailer with the latest gameplay of Need for Speed Unbound was released on Twitter and YouTube. The scenes let NFS shine in a whole new light this time.
Players finally have a clearer look at the new gameplay of Need for Speed Unbound. The biggest feature: anime effects, which will bring a very special spice to the series for once and will make the hearts of fans of the eastern culture beat faster.
The racers are the artists and the city their canvas: Need for Speed Unbound gameplay with a nice twist
With new graphic effects inspired by the graffiti and anime world, the new title in the series gives players a whole new visual experience. Darren White, the art director for Criterion Games’ Need for Speed Unbound, explained on EA’s website that they wanted to create a gameplay style that celebrates players’ actions, enhances the experience, and honors them as they drive. Called “Tags,” these effects are extraordinary, high-energy visual effects designed to take the player to the next level.
Darren White compared gamers in NFS Unbound to street artists for urban landscapes. With every drift, jump, and crash, racers paint the world around the car with the tags – for more dramatic, emotional, and immersive racing fun. So the racer becomes the artist, the hyper-realistic car the paintbrush, and the city the large-scale canvas.
For maximum flexibility, NFS Unbound confirmed on Twitter via their official account that players can disable the anime and graffiti effects if needed.
