Earlier today, information regarding ReSpawn Entertainment’s first big release, TitanFall, leaked all over the internet. A NeoGaf member discovered the latest issue of GameInformer before anyone was supposed to, and being a nice guy, he shared all the juicy details he learned. Thankfully, it wasn’t just the new shooter that the community saw on the virtual pages. Hot new details for Need for Speed Rivals were also found, telling the tale of a racing game that we should all pay attention to later this year.
Rivals will support full campaigns for both Cops and Racers, so players will have the ability to see both sides of the law. There will be a wager system allowing players to bet speed points earned through racing, which results in either a big payday or someone going home a little less endowed. More than 100 miles of road can be raced on, and during your travels dynamic whether effects such as snow, hail, fog, and dust storms will have global impacts. Lobbies have been eliminated, so really, think of Rivals as one big, connected world where your friends can just hop in to your game and start wrecking havoc. Much of the destruction will be cause by the tools found in the game, which include jammers, electromagnetic pulses, shockwaves, roadblocks, and helicopter patrols.
The NeoGaf user also noted that Need for Speed Rivals will make use of both the PS4’s video sharing features and the Xbox One’s Kinect. For those looking to take a ride on the wild side, the game will be coming to PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One later this year.
