Gamesradar- Need For Speed: Most Wanted on PS Vita uses the same city layout and element placement as the 'big' console versions. Obviously there have to be some graphical concessions to make the game run on the Vita. But how close can it get? Take a look at the following images taken from the Vita and Xbox 360 versions of the game and see for yourself.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted debuted in 2005, with the Xbox 360 version being the first then next-generation title in the franchise.
This game was awesome! I remember reloading my save if I didn’t get the pink slip from my blacklist rival
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
hmm, the car models look pretty close, but the game world has been reduced quite a bit in complexity. If you look at the ground, the textures are flat and simple on the Vita, plus if you look at the buildings, they are missing things that are placed on the roofs. Not to mention the vegetation looks significantly downscaled. Don't get me wrong, it looks like a great game, but obviously sacrifices had to be made. Glad they are able to get a lot out of the system, too bad there aren't enough people with Vita's to buy the game.
eh not really judging fromt hose screens. The texture and the amount of stuff is more different than close. It looks good, but the difference is clear as day. Cars look pretty close though.
Still buying this for Vita
I saw gameplay fortube Vita version and I was amazed, it looks fantastic for a handheld title! Also, the reduced traffic is better because it is a smaller screen therefore; less traffic makes it easier to drive.
Pretty impressive for a handheld game. Especially considering the vita hasn't even been out for a year yet and 360 is coming to an end of a console generation.
You can clearly see the difference, but VITA version is still pretty close to a console version. It looks especially good when you see it on a small VITA's screen.
