We've already established that Need for Speed's cringe-worthy live action cut-scenes look amazing, but what about the actual game itself? EA Games has released a new trailer showcasing the forthcoming PlayStation 4 racer, and much like a pre-release Rockstar video, it focuses on all of the activities that you'll be getting up to behind the wheel this November.
No game is complete without some simple role-playing mechanics these days, and Ghost Games' latest is no different. The racer will see you earning both cash and reputation as you move up the ranks of Ventura Bay, with the latter unlocking new events and content. You'll increase your rep by mastering five different disciplines: Speed, Style, Build, Crew, and Outlaw.
These are all pretty self-explanatory so we won't outline them in too much detail, but needless to say they run the full gamut of racing game gameplay. The most interesting thing is that you'll be able to combine each of these to maximise your points, so we assume that perfecting each technique is where the title's replay value is going to come from.
While we're a bit frustrated by the online-only focus, we're really excited to give this a spin later in the year. Is your internal engine roaring for this release? Put your foot down in the comments section below.

Once this was announce as online only my interest disappeared. Online only games are not for me. Well at least not until the PSN is 100% solid and maybe not even then. It irks me that If I cancel my PS+ subcription anytime in the future for any reason then my investment in any online only games I have are ruined and totally unplayable. That is not on.
I wanted an offline non rep based racing game with car upgrades and tuning. one that's more arcade-y than sim like. I guess I should keep looking.
Knowing me, I may try it but I'm really not a fan of the online aspect. Of course, it's EA, so it probably wasn't surprising.
The game looks great, It's a shame it is always online. It'll probably be a big factor against me buying it.
It looks great honestly yes it is a disappointment that it is online only but its not that a big of a deal for me my internet is probably the worst my average speed is about 300kbs but even with that its not a big deal all that matters to me is that the game is has to be good
I don't care if it's online only or not since I have a good connection. I'm so hyped for this game! I just hope you can play during the daytime because all of the gameplay so far has been at night!
It's a shame that it's online only, but for the majority of players, it probably won't be noticeable. I'm warming to this game, I actually played Underground 2 a fair amount, and this looks like a similar idea (albeit far more modern).
Graphics are damn nice too!
@NomNom my feelings exactly
Online only 30fps trash.
Just like the last one.

Its all night time like the old nfs underground games. I think some dusk/dawn settings are also there but mostly all night.
Btw the game looks sick
