Here is some gameplay footage. It looks very NFS / Midnight club-esq.

Edit: Here's a screen shot of the world map.

Someone needs a geography lesson.

I'm hopeful but reserved about this game. Can their open world really encompass the whole U.S.? I don't see that happening without some serious corners being cut.

From what I see in this demo it has certain major cities across the US and then 'links' them via short drives. so you can be in Miami, then "drive" to say NYC via a short road where there are no buildings...

Looks like it could be a fun game, definitely not realistic. And that map is strangely different!

That's what I could gather as well. With open worlds in games becoming larger and larger, I wonder if they're really better than smaller, better detailed and varied ambients.

It'd be extremely difficult to make things more to scale; I'm just glad they could make do with most of the major cities.

Not saying to scale, but they have LA inland and Vegas is somewhere up north for some reason...

I'll admit, it's very NFS-esque, I'm not so concerned about accuracy of the geography though.

Ahh I see. Maybe in 10 years when it makes financial sense to put 128GB/ram in a console we can get open worlds like that.

Seems somewhat unrealistic. With a little more development, it could be great.

It just has a somewhat Odd feeling to it.

Like every NFS game ever.

Pet peeve. If your going to use real places with a map that is semi-real-looking, at least put the cities in a relatively similar perspective place.

That too, Haha.

Nfs Hp That game was boring as hell. I played for all of an hour, then I forgot about it in a drawer. High Stakes was a different story.

I bought HP, got pissed at how bad it was and haven't bought a NFS game since.

Same, Every year that they come out. I don't even consider getting them.

They're just So....Boring.

MCLA, That game gave me hours of good entertainment. Midnight Club 3 Dub Ed. Remix was also a great game.

I have one of the midnight clubs that I still pick up from time to time, cant remember which, but at least its a good bit better of an arcade like racing game.
