168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Need for Speed is rumored to be set to return later this November. The same insider who told us that Criterion Games new Need for Speed 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:will be a next-gen only experience is now telling us that it’ll feature “photo-realistic” vehicles and🗹 “anime elements.”

VentureBeat's Jeff Grubb dropped the news on his (via ). "It’s going to be photo-realistic, but it’s going to have on top of that, anime elements," said Grubb. "You know when you see a car commercial or something like that and the car’s driving around, but then cartoon flames and stuff are flying off it? That’s the kind of the aesthetic that they seem to be going for."

This is a big change for Need for Speed. Although the series’ physics have always been at least slightly cartoonish, Need for Speed has always strived for hyper-realistic environments and vehicles. While the realistic cars seem like they’ll remain, adding cartoonish elements like giant flames might not sit well 🦄with Need for Speed fans.

Grubb also revealed the setting for the new Need for Speed game as a fictionalized version of Chicꦇago called Lake Shore City. "Criterion wants to make it feel like a real city, even though it’s a fictionalized version of🐼 a city," Grubb explained.

According to Grubb, Autolog will return as Need forꦓ Speed’s multiplayer system🍨, and an extensive vehicle customization system will also be available.
