The next NFS title got revealed almost a few week ago, and it's looking rather interesting. They're going for a very anime aesthetic this time around, and I'm all for it. As much as I loved NFS Heat, the character models in that game were... ugly. Very ugly. The previous games made by Ghost weren't much better either. It's giving some serious Underground vibes with the graffiti look, and while this art direction may not be for everyone, apparently the flashy effects can be turned off (says a few sources in the comments, I have yet to deep dive and verify this myself). As long as EA keeps their worst people from ruining this game and stay as hands off as they did with Heat, then I think this could be pretty fun!
