I'll wait for the real pro's DF to give there analysis thank you very much
You guys might want to take off the “pc” part of your thumbnail.
Ign gotta remove the PC from the thumbnail, there isn't any PC comparisons here.
This game has a framerate problem especially on the Series X. I get a lot of drops during races and police chases in the city and even the less dense areas.
Conclusion: it's a mediocre game. Solution: Bring back a 4k 60 HZ Underground remake
The guy talking Michael who also has another channel NX Gamer is a moron. He never knows what he is talking about. Forza Horizon 5 on the Series X looks much better than this game. It runs at a higher resolution on average and is pretty much a locked 60fps. This game isn't CPU bound. This game is just a horrible unoptimized piece of crap.
Picture that: the game didn't get a day one patch. Wondering if they can fix the small frame drop issues
nah to it
Damn, Series S even downgrades the car from a Countach to a Silvia
Game is the bomb
It’s very unlikely the performance dips in this game are CPU related. VRR generally cannot account for CPU related frame rate dips at all, and with Unbound VRR works perfectly to cover up these frame rate dips. Therefore it is extremely likely these are in fact GPU related drops.
this is a next gen game????? SIKEEEEEE
Lol xbox always wins these
Sry I'm not a fan of the art style. They should have sticked to Payback's amazing story and Heat's customization. An option to turn off the artstyle would be a + for me.
it's simply NFS: Heat 2, nothing better. Give us remake of Underground series, not this joke re-skin of Heat with Fortnite effects.
Nice!
That is so cool!
Cool!
Xbox all day yoo Xbox is the best
Why are we so mad about visuals when gameplay and story win the day it doesn't matter whether its Pc or console they have limitations so let's take a moment to enjoy the experience rather worrying about visuals just enjoy folk's
NFS 2015 looks better visually and has much lesser system requirements.
Ok but whys it look like that? The graphics are like bipolar
ppl want the best too soon…. save some for later!!!
It's cool for Street fighter but please keep that cartoonish flare out of need for speed
They need to just give us underground 3
Cops are way to much after u escape a heat 5..they are everywhere and u keep getting into chases over and over it’s annoying deleted this game.
So Xbox beats PS5 on resolution and PS5 beats Xbox on FPS. Which FPS matters most in a racing game. So yeah know which one I’m buying this game for 😊
Is there a way to turn off those cartoon graphics?
Give me one of each and I'll give you an honest consumers opinion about which is better. 😉
Need For Speed UNBOUND 2 please.
Best NFS since Most Wanted. Story is pretty bad. Some cringey super woke stuff for no reason is weird but whatever. But the gameplay is the best it has been in years.

Xbox is better, because it has pop up headlights.
