New Need For Speed Trailer Shows Off Customization
Electronic Arts and Ghost Games have released a new trailer hyping the impending release of their Need For Speed reboot. The other trailers have focused on the racing, the modes and the “five ways to play.” This new trailer talks about car customization.
Ghost Games was pretty ambitious with this part — your car in the game can be customized to a ridiculous degree. You can add new sideskirts, spoilers, tires, and rims. You can change the color, add decals, tweak the performance and handling, and almost anything else you can think of (except change the pitch of the car’s horn. I can’t change the horn? That’s a dealbreaker!)
The car will also be upgradeable. The engine, brakes, clutch, and all the other vital guts can be swapped out and upgraded in the shop. I’m guessing this is accomplished through earning in-game cash for parts (because there’d be no sense in letting you have everything right away and make the game super-easy).
The new Need For Speed comes out November 3 for Playstation 4 and XBox One. The PC version has been delayed into an unspecified 2016 release date; when we hear something more concrete there we’ll let you know. In the meantime, a closed beta on consoles will be held very soon.
