The earth turns into a canvas. You can come and go as you like and paint it with your own color. It sounds like a ‘Splatoon 3’ story, but it’s not. You never know how long it will take to paint the earth with a water gun. Fortunately, there is a game where you can paint by riding a car rather than a water gun. This is the story of the new ‘Unbound’ in the ‘Need for Speed’ series that everyone has heard of at least once. EA officially announced ‘Need for Speed Unbound’ on its YouTube channel on the 6th (local time).
This work depicts a journey to find a car stolen from a robbery at an auto repair shop. All he had was his car knowledge and racing skills. In a situation where even that can’t be done properly, the protagonist has to start from the bottom and find a stolen car. To do this, you need to raise money first. There are many ways to raise money in the bottom life. Take part in random street races to win, collect money to revamp your vehicle, and gradually increase your performance as you head for the big water.
However, due to the nature of the street race, it is not easy to expect a clean ending. Sometimes the police come after you, and sometimes you might get entangled in messy things. If you go through this process and gradually get a better vehicle and build a reputation, maybe someday you will be able to reach your goal.
In addition to the main story and progression, the game has undergone changes in various ways. Among them, the notable change is the smoke that comes out of the tire burning, which gives off a unique visual like a kind of paint, and is designed to drive as if drawing a picture. It is expected that the visual that expresses emphasis by enclosing a highlight (border) on a specific part of the exhaust gas is a visual that is hard to find in games, and it is expected to create a unique attraction.
In addition, in the way the entire street is expressed, hip culture is expressed as it is, and for the sound, famous hip-hop artists are invited and various performances are combined. As such, it is noteworthy that this game is positioned like a work that can give a glimpse of a single culture.
“Need for Speed Unbound is about taking risks and breaking the status quo conventions just by being yourself through racing style, unique car crafting, fashion and music,” said Kieran Krimmins, director of Criterion Games. , a game where expressing myself is everything.”
Meanwhile, the development team announced that even after the official release of the game on December 2nd, it will continue to update in various fields such as costumes and vehicle upgrades.
