Hot after the official Need For Speed Heat reveal, Electronic Arts (EA) has announced that those cartoonish driving effects are entirely optional.
On Tuesday, Electronic Arts (EA) released a new gameplay clip of Need For Speed Unbound going over customization options More specifically, how you can toggle those anime-like tier burnout effects on and off.
“Yes, you can turn the effects off,” EA said on Twitter. “In fact, you can choose to never put them on in the first place. Just like any other part of a car.”
It seems like a solid choice for anyone who prefers more realistic racing, even if developer Criterion Games is striving for something more stylish.
Customize your style. Choose your driving effects. Get noticed.
Start with nothing and slowly push your style to its absolute limit. #needforspeed pic.twitter.com/wZv7a2B4xx

“We wanted to deliver an art style that matters for gameplay, one that clearly celebrates player actions, enhances the player experience, and rewards them along the way,” Darren White, art director on Need for Speed Unbound, said in a press release. “We wanted to take players to that next level in Need for Speed Unbound with our driving VFX, which we call ‘Tags.'”
We’ll find out if this aesthetic works when Need for Speed Unbound is coming out on Dec. 2, 2022, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
