@@youssef1770 heat with unite 3 is the best version of what heat could've been Have you seen how different it plays, looks, feels and sounds on unite? it's depressing af when you go back to normal heat after using it - you see what devs couldn't do bc of EA's corporate ass and direction
As a motion graphic and vfx designer/editor I really appreciate the work they put into, you can tell that the vfx and all visual elements are top notch, but they do feel out of place
Yeah, the idea is really good and technically it fits well, but I think the arty style doesn't match. Why drawing and crosshatching? . . Maybe something like scott pilgrim vs. the world but with less humor? Some motion graphic. . maybe neon lights would also fit.
Fellow Motion/3D-Artist here. I feel the same but from a gaming perspective it's too much. Having said that, I think this augmented semi-analogue gfx might become a mainstream trend soon. But the games Art Direction is flawless. Not just the effects but also the style in menus and options. Everything is bold, big and it's all very graphic in nature. I love it.
Honestly I wasn't bothered by the effects during gameplay despite not really liking them at first. However now that I've seen how clean the game can look - especilly while drifiting- I really want the option to turn them off too. Criterion Games are on a pursuit - no pun intended- to make NFS great again and they've got my full support as long as they keep experimenting these little things while delivering where it matters the most - physics, progression, graphics.
odds are NB is like mostly a Ghost project till EA shut them down and Criterion finished it up, it'll be interesting to see what a full project from them looks like tho
@@im_a_mistake22 They always change something in physics and car handling here and there every NFS. Peak gameplay was NFSU2 and NFSMW (Pro Street was also amazing witha mix of arcade and realistic-ish physics)
This should be a toggle option. Also a different option should be added called "Reduced". I like the effects but they can be a bit much at times. So a Reduced options where they don't get repeated a ton and smoke effect is off would be good.
Technically it should be easy to implement an on / off option better yet make it more customizable instead of Only "turn off everything". Let people choose, what they want.
the effect of the rear lights seems beautiful to me, it was something that I liked from NFS MW '05, On the other hand, the effects for now are fine because the gameplay was missing something so that it would not be so empty because honestly the simple and empty screen makes you feel as if you were just playing for the sake of playing and not having fun but with these effects at least for a while that can change, and later these effects will hate each other because honestly they are not consistent with the game at all
This has never been a problem. On the contrary, full concentration on the car and the road gave pleasure. And these effects are distracting. It's like watching TikTok while driving.
I personally love the stylization of characters and effects in the game/ environments, but they should have an option to turn them off if people aren't a fan of the style
I think they’ve done a really good job with a progression system and encouraging you to build cars of different classes in multiplayer rather than just max every one out
Reminds me of what COD MW2 is doing Rn making you use certain guns to progress to get certain attachments And in this game making you buy different classes of cars to earn more money if you finish off certain classes of races
@@snramadhan kinda but there’s definitely less emphasis on drift off road etc cus my race car beats drift events easy. it’s more like car classes (B,A,A+,S,S+) and you build cars to suit the speed of the class if that makes sense
Yes but i wish and a lot of community do it a bit realistic. We was thinking and others that it would be fine and realistic like the NFS™ 2015 or NFS™ PAYBACK and NFS™ HEAT but it looks worse. Remember its my opinion.
@@torturedkfpemployee883 because the crew 2 doesn't really advertise their game as "the world is your canvas" like Unbound. And they are not the main focus in crew 2
I think the light trails and air lines look pretty good with the game, the tire smoke and slight nos effects are the only things that set off the game for me imo.
Loved that the devs did something out of their comfort zone, they could've made a new NFS game with realistic effects as they have done in the past. But the devs opted for a very odd artistic choice that a lot of people criticised, but I loved it 100%. We should appreciate game companies to come out of their comfort zones and do something different while also keeping the core concept intact.
Yeah great, but half the community is stuck in the early 2000s when their best games existed. Unfortunately, the old games are still that. Heat was awesome. It's all about immersion. This ruins it.
It's sad that some people in corporate world are at so high position with so dumb and unworthy mindset that their some main decisions affects many people.
I personally really like them. God fobid Need for Speed have actual visual design instead of the boring ultra realistic graphics that have looked the same for half a decade
@@panduino2156 after many years I started gaming again last I played was NFS rivals, after getting the PS5 I searched for some racing games and tried some of them, but this game has a life in it the effects the drift the graphics makes sense once you really play it, the realistic ones are great but kind of boring time to time there are cons in this game we know but still I can't stop playing it, feels just alive and connected.
I personally don’t mind the effects I think it give an extra artistic feel to the game although I would like it if when you choose a different car you can set a particular tag effect for that car and have a different tag set on another car to save the pain of having to keep swapping to anther tag tag every time.
The comparison we needed. I personally don't like the effects or the style of the characters, but i also recognize that i'm not part of the target audience they're going for with them. I was told numerous times every time i pointed out my distaste for them that "dont worry they can be disabled", even read it in an article, but now seeing that they can't, its a pass from me on this one
I hate that people hated on this so hard for no good reason. All it did was tell developers that we hate interesting visuals and won't settle for anything but the most boring, uninspired visuals. We will never ever get another Auto Modellista or a follow up to these visual effects.
Those effects do not really fit in the game. If they really really wanted to add them, they should've made them togglable from the very beginning. So those like you who like those effects could turn them on, and those like me who don't like them could leave them turned off.
It’d work better if the game was actually cel-shaded, and I think it’d be fitting of the classic arcade style from the Underground games. Also, it’d be cool if we could choose colors for the effects; blue and green would look really cool, I’d imagine.
Wow, the game looks so much better without these effects! Just seems like they did reduce the actual tire smoke so its not in the way of the cartoon effects, which is the only bummer here. Can't believe they did not include an option to turn off all effects (on opponents aswell)
remember your art from Midnight Club Los Angeles so those art of yours you look like the king of car art from Midnight Club Los Angeles bro you are a legend dude
The amount of "real" smoke needs to be modified as well though, as it really is miniscule compared to the previous games, probably to make the cartoon effect stand out more
effects really add up something different and fun to this game. it's some fresh air after all those boring "arcade" racing games over the last few years.
Right, some people are always looking for a ultra realistic racing game/ sim but sometimes forget that NFS isn’t really known for that, this game kind of brings that arcade feel back
@@Kai-JH The nfs games got way too arcade imo. The first era of nfs still had some physics. Now you're even a tank which mows down guard rails like paper.
@@Mentalex0 nah man that's you 2015 looks generic its only night, constant rain and mute colors. Meanwhile unbound has a semi-day&night cycle with day time looking beautiful every moment and night being more appealing than 2015. While also having its own art style to separate from the rest when 2015 didn't have one. Criterion knows how to make a game look good just take a look at HP(2010) and MW12 they still look like they came out this year but are a decade old same with burnout's art style still keeping those games from not looking old and dated.
If you turn off the effects , this game feels like old school most wanted and it gives a creepy nostalgia. Like they’ve had this game made already for years but just enhanced graphics, and elements, updated skins to new vehicles . I wondered why the camera angle and the physics of the driving felt VERY old but enhanced to have more control and do the newer things they’ve implemented. There’s even a few races that are very similar to the paths just that the scenery has seemed to be reskinned
The cartoony effect should be optional but the light/wind trail are nice, nfs should learn from forza on how to make smoke model realistic for people how dont like the graffiti effects
I love the effects, especially the Initial D style brake light trails, the only effect I hate is the cartoony tyre smoke, and I wish there was an option to only turn that off, but keep everything else on
Despite this looking really cool, it sucks that you dont see any effect really for grip turning until after the fact that you performed a grip turn. It would be cool to see a clean sleek neon trail coming from the tires.
People be hating on these effects but it reminds me of some old ps2 racing game. It feels so good when you get a full burst nitro and you activate it. The short cut out of the sound and then in an instant you get catapulted. I love it
I understand why people wouldnt want the effects turned on, but it immerses you so much more and really adds to the vibe of the game, and theyre beautiful
At first I hated this effect but after sometime I started to love it. It's so different and it kinda feels cool for me with that effects. Only the burnout effect that I don't really like that much. But it's fine I don't hate it either. With or without I'm fine with it.
I’m head over heels for the visual effects tbh but I’m a firm believer people should be able to customize their individual experiences to their liking. Even tho I think it takes the games personality away 😂
im wierd i like the effects, its nice to have a racing game that isnt the same thing visually as every other racing gaming in the last ten years that takes places in a "realistic setting" i also think its adds contrast to some of the darker areas in the city as a sort of graffiti if you will, and also fits the brighter areas, since many of those areas have very vibrant colors and good foliage.
The people calling these effects, the characters, and artstyle "anime" sound so unbelievably stupid to me, nothing about it resembles anime they have some decals and shirts that are anime related but that's literally it lmao. The game's reflections and lighting are far too good for me to not play this game the decals on wraps also aren't pixels anymore.
Just bought a handful of new NFS games, still on Payback, took a peek at Unbound, and these effects look ridiculously out of place. The fact you couldn't even turn them off first is crazyyy
Latter's more fun than Payback, 2015 anf Payback can be beautiful and pleasing to the "REALISTIC GRAPHICS!!!!!!" crowd, but it wont win me back with gameplay alone
One of the later nvidia "hotfix" drivers turned some of these clouds (even for a 30-series) into triangle messes The idea of an on/off switch for the effects would be a welcome addition
Some dude said "The only reason NFS Unbound has those ugly cartoon effects is to make it different from the last 3 games" on another video. And I agree with him! 👍
They definitely should have a option too turn it off but I really do like the art style and y’all should really try it. It’s honestly not that overbearing as y’all think
@@tylercouture216 nah, the difference is watching a video you fixate on it because you can. Playing the game you are more focused on not hitting shit and holding a clean line and the effects become a minor periphery thing not the center of attention. So, false. If you haven't put actual hands on time with the game and only base your experience off videos then you are missing 80% of the experience and are forming an opinion without all the data.
So much better without the goofy looking effects clogging the screen. Too bad modded Most Wanted 05 takes up all my playtime. Never touched Unbound and never will thanks to that.
It's sad that some people in corporate world are at so high position with so dumb and unworthy mindset that their some main decisions affects many people.
i dont shit on the effects at all, i think they are actually pretty fucking cool, cmon people start liking new ideas instead of shitting on them, das why we aint getting any good games because people keep on hatin everything
Wow, just wow. I've seen this game without effects before but I had no idead they didn't even bother making regular, high-quality smoke effects in the game. No wonder Digital Foundry was so positive about the graphics of it. They utilized the performance gain on other areas it seems.
For me the choice is obvious, OFF all the way never to be turned on again! The game looks 3000% better without those shitty childish draws everywhere; hope they add this option asap!
Yall complain about absolutely everything and you wonder why video games are dull and have no soul to them nowadays. nfs is and will always be a arcade racing game.

I was just going to make a post about that I really do not like how the exhaust flames look in this game.
What mod did you use to turn off the effects?
@@muhammadrameezfareed5138 but it says in the description its a "3rd party tool" and right now there's no way to turn off all the effects.
@@muhammadrameezfareed5138 its not an option its a third party tool lol, there is no option to turn these effects off
The brake light lines gives me such nostalgia... Damn...
That "beep" sound XD
XD
effects looks so great!
Despite this looking really cool, it sucks that you dont see any effect really for grip turning until after the fact that you performed a grip turn. It would be cool to see a clean sleek neon trail coming from the tires.
People be hating on these effects but it reminds me of some old ps2 racing game. It feels so good when you get a full burst nitro and you activate it. The short cut out of the sound and then in an instant you get catapulted. I love it
I understand why people wouldnt want the effects turned on, but it immerses you so much more and really adds to the vibe of the game, and theyre beautiful
This effects are just like in Spiderverse
should have been a standard feature ingame, dont get me wrong the cartoony effect is quite cool but gets annoying quite fast imo

Man those non-smoke effects look so cool
At first I hated this effect but after sometime I started to love it. It's so different and it kinda feels cool for me with that effects.
Only the burnout effect that I don't really like that much. But it's fine I don't hate it either.
With or without I'm fine with it.
I’m head over heels for the visual effects tbh but I’m a firm believer people should be able to customize their individual experiences to their liking. Even tho I think it takes the games personality away 😂
With those effects on, I feel like an anime fan driving a car. Without those effects, I feel like a normal person
I really hope they patch this in the game! Love it without effects.
im wierd i like the effects, its nice to have a racing game that isnt the same thing visually as every other racing gaming in the last ten years that takes places in a "realistic setting" i also think its adds contrast to some of the darker areas in the city as a sort of graffiti if you will, and also fits the brighter areas, since many of those areas have very vibrant colors and good foliage.
thx for seeing my text thank u i am such a huge fan
be beep... beep be beep
So annoying
The people calling these effects, the characters, and artstyle "anime" sound so unbelievably stupid to me, nothing about it resembles anime they have some decals and shirts that are anime related but that's literally it lmao. The game's reflections and lighting are far too good for me to not play this game the decals on wraps also aren't pixels anymore.
Just bought a handful of new NFS games, still on Payback, took a peek at Unbound, and these effects look ridiculously out of place. The fact you couldn't even turn them off first is crazyyy
Latter's more fun than Payback, 2015 anf Payback can be beautiful and pleasing to the "REALISTIC GRAPHICS!!!!!!" crowd, but it wont win me back with gameplay alone
What's the tool?
shit it looks clean af
There’s no in between with the effects. People either love it to death or they absolutely hate it
One of the later nvidia "hotfix" drivers turned some of these clouds (even for a 30-series) into triangle messes
The idea of an on/off switch for the effects would be a welcome addition
Good to see there's a option to toggle off the cartoon animations which greatly cheapen the experience in my opinion as a veteran "NFS" fan.
see video description
Some dude said "The only reason NFS Unbound has those ugly cartoon effects is to make it different from the last 3 games" on another video.
And I agree with him! 👍
i like the effects, they give all sorts of contextual clues that help your driving and they look nice. nfs was never supposed to be a realistic game
Its just childish… zoomer game
@@Robin-ub7yd i'm 31 and i'm having a blast, it brings me back to the feeling i got playing most wanted back in 2005
They definitely should have a option too turn it off but I really do like the art style and y’all should really try it. It’s honestly not that overbearing as y’all think
not as over bearing as we think ? We are all literally looking at the same video it would be the same if we played the game 😭
@@tylercouture216 nah, the difference is watching a video you fixate on it because you can. Playing the game you are more focused on not hitting shit and holding a clean line and the effects become a minor periphery thing not the center of attention.
So, false. If you haven't put actual hands on time with the game and only base your experience off videos then you are missing 80% of the experience and are forming an opinion without all the data.
@@FullBitGamer damn I literally made this comment to someone else
I love the sound when you turn them on and off. Sounds like a dude saying beep, Beebeep
So much better without the goofy looking effects clogging the screen. Too bad modded Most Wanted 05 takes up all my playtime. Never touched Unbound and never will thanks to that.
You can turn them off for like 8 month now
Wish it was an option to turn all effects off so you see none at all even from other cars
It's sad that some people in corporate world are at so high position with so dumb and unworthy mindset that their some main decisions affects many people.
bee bee
Need for speed graphics are getting closer to real life with every game they release ngl
heat doesn't count lil bro
i dont shit on the effects at all, i think they are actually pretty fucking cool, cmon people start liking new ideas instead of shitting on them, das why we aint getting any good games because people keep on hatin everything
People have preferences, how about accepting them? Not everyone is a fan of these effects.
Bibi!
Wow, just wow. I've seen this game without effects before but I had no idead they didn't even bother making regular, high-quality smoke effects in the game. No wonder Digital Foundry was so positive about the graphics of it. They utilized the performance gain on other areas it seems.
bi bi ??
habibi?
beeee bee bee beee
finally. i hate the effects but everyone seems to play the game with them on
For me the choice is obvious, OFF all the way never to be turned on again! The game looks 3000% better without those shitty childish draws everywhere; hope they add this option asap!
beep beep
i really like both, it gives the game a sense of style aside from realistic while the realistic looks good by itself. i want both as an option
Yall complain about absolutely everything and you wonder why video games are dull and have no soul to them nowadays. nfs is and will always be a arcade racing game.
Arcade and childish are not the same. Those effects are childish.
@@bolsahuecajust turn them off
@@bolsahuecaI honestly think they’re not that bad
beep beep LMAO
I like the effects on, but not everyone would agree with that so it’s nice of ea games to add this feature 👍👍👍
They are awful 😂
@@cristianoreddevil9736 depends on the car u use it on tho
Muito booom !!!!!
Completely breaks any form of immersion with those goofy ahh effects lol. Terrible design idea
everybody gangsta, until *BEEP BEEP*
Those graphic "effects" made for fortnite kids really destroy the whole game 😂
It was literally inspired by games like Auto Modellista, NFS Prostreet and NFS Nitro all of which came out before 2010
@@P_D-px6ivI don’t really mind these effects too much, tbh
Wait you can turn of this cringe????
