In a recent post, I talked about the announcement of the next Need for Speed game coming at the end of the year. At the time, all we had to go off was the cinematic trailer, but now we can finally see how the game is actually going to look with a new gameplay trailer.

As I mentioned in my previous post, along with a new storyline and additional cars and customizations, Need for Speed Unbound is unlike other Need for Speed titles due to the presence of additional street-art UI components, as well as the difference in the art style of the characters.

While driving, you’ll see some interesting visual effects depending on what you’re doing, such as boosting, drifting, or going over a jump. Additionally, the characters no longer have a normal boring 3D art style but are now influenced by an anime/cartoon art style.

I was a little skeptical when it was announced two weeks ago, but after seeing this gameplay trailer, I must say it looks much better than I anticipated.

What I especially enjoyed while watching the gameplay trailer was the visual effects while drifting. The subtle but unique hand-drawn tire smoke is very fitting in a street racing game, in my opinion. I also loved seeing hand-drawn wings appear whenever the car was in mid-air after taking a ramp or jump.

Additionally, just the general look of the game really impressed me. Of course, it’s not photo-realistic, but it still looks really good. After watching this gameplay trailer, I’m seriously looking forward to this game and can’t wait to play it.

You can watch the gameplay trailer below.

Writing and Editing Update

Recently, I wrote about my stats on Medium. While my gaming article receives great views from external sources, they get very few views from Medium members.

Here is the story if you are interested in my thoughts and feelings as a writer on Medium.

I also put a few links that might have new writers to gain followers and learn from the experiences of other writers. I wish you the best in your writing career.

Top writer badges might be valuable for new writers in some topics, even though gaming and social media did not bring me, new readers. I posted a video using the ideas of Dr Mehmet Yildiz and hope new writers can learn from this video or related article.
