Non of those links say Xbox One has this feature over the PS4. it only taks about the difference between current gen and the new systems.
Now regarding the PC running NFS at Games Con they were DEV KITS.


This was taken from the NEO GAF forums?..

"Ok here's a quick crash course on how game developpement actually works.

We're seeing two different things right now...

That NFS picture is not what he's talking about in the OP's tweet. They are clearly running the PC version of the game with a PS4 controller.

What the OP is talking about is PS4 games running on a devkit instead of a "retail" console.

First of all this is complete ********. They are both running games on devkits. The XB1 devkits happens to look exactly like the retail console so the PR guys can say that it's a retail console but it's actually a devkit. The PS4 devkits look different so it's easier to spot. Three months before the console is released is WAYYY too early to run anything on a retail kit.

Second, you guys need to understand what a devkit actually is. The devkits that are in use right now (I'm not talking about the very early devkits but what's in use right now) are pretty much using the same final hardware that will be in the retail kits but with extra memory allocated to debug tools and the ability to run unsigned code.

There's nothing wrong or devious from running games on a devkit. That's how it always been. What did you think the 360/PS3 games were running on at E3 for the last 6 years? They were not retail consoles either, they were devkits since nobody has signed code that can run on a retail console until the game goes through submission...which happens 2-3 weeks before the game is released.

All those tweets and articles are just click bait to create controversy. It's a non story and people really need to move on."
 
Games have always ran on PC's running on similar architecture to consoles since the dawn of E3. But it also explains why some things we see in E3 gameplay never make it to final release.

Take for example Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012, at E3 the damage model looked miles ahead of what we had at the RTM version. The exhaust tips on the Porsche flew off and there was a takedown camera. They even said we would be able to ignore friends who weren't going to be a threat to us on Autolog, and guess what became of that. This is why I never get too optimistic about games I think will be good at E3, we usually get a completely different version than what we saw at E3.
 
NFS have finally got Ferrari yay :) and i hope their is a bit more game play. and that multi player is a bit ore advanced than in MW. i am really exited to see personalization coming back to NFS and i am looking forward to NFS rivals
 
looks good, I hope its more like old nfs games and they don't ruin this one. i pray there's no more burnout nfs games with drifting and that stupid crash cam. it looks like a mix of high stakes , hot pursuit 2 and 2010, most wanted 05
 
Now that is what I'm talking about, finally they started revealing cars on a daily basis. Yesterday they showed a new screenshot of the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 and today they are giving us another hint of what it looks like a Lamborghini Aventador.

What the hell EA? Since when is this a Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4? Just compare it with the real model and you will definately say that it is a normal Lamborghini Aventador.

Isn't the yellow car the 50th Anniversario-Whatever-It's-Called? Didn't that model have the Aventador J bodykit?

The yellow car is the Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 50º Anniversario, it's the car that they claim that it is in the in game picture. Now about the bodykit i'm not so sure about that.

Just wondering if there's the LP 720-4 and then the LP 720-4 50° Anniversario... can't effectively search, phones suck :grumpy:
 
Then you have the 700-4 which looks like this. So it's probably close if not the real thing just modeled a bit different.

I have another theory. The racer vehicle that they showed yesterday is the LP 700-4 model and the cop car version is the LP 800-4 SV. Before you say that I am wrong I did a massive research to see the new things that they have included in that car and I found a match with some NFS Rivals footage from gamescom.
This is the Lamborghini Aventador car they used to test some stuff for the upcoming SV model, if you are like me you instantly notice some sort of light in the middle of the rear spoiler.

Now pay attention from 3:07 to 3:19, 4:35 to 4:41 and finally from 5:15 to 5:20 and please tell me that you are seeing a red light linking in the middle of the rear spoiler like I pointed in the screenshot above.
 
Who cares whether its an SV or the regular Aventador. You are talking about it as if the game is a sim and youll be able to delicately differentiate between the two.

Regardless of whether it's an SV or not, Ghost will still be assigning it its own performance and driving characteristics, they will make it perform how they want it to perform regardless if its an SV or not. This isnt Gran Turismo or Forza :rolleyes: get over it
 
A car is a car no matter if its a prius or a Bugatti. They probably all drive about the same (Given the driver of course). Plus who knows if anyone would be actually driving it anyways.
 
Fair point.

I didnt believe any of it before to be honest but now that he has offered an explanation, it seems to be more believable.

But yeah, youre probably right, logically speaking there is no solid reason to believe any of it.

I only believe in the leaked car list, the rest I don't. I'm sure you guys remember in June when I posted here the first part of the car list that were in the official Ghost Games facebook page for very few hours, this guy also had posted the exact same car list but only a few days earlier so his point about all the information that he posted was from an alpha build is correct.

Again I wouldn't always trust someone posting something off of an unofficial page. I would wait until their official announcement or read what they have posted before here

Where if it would sell 15 million copies then they will make the game by ghost.
 
I actually don't really believe it. The fact that he said Underground will be coming in 2015 as opposed to 2014 is a bit far fetched.

If he said 2014 i'd have be more inclined to believe it but 2015 is a bit of a strech!

I doubt EA have even decided on what next years title is gonna be in 2014, let alone what 2015's title will be!!

The other leaks on that page about DLC sound interesting and dare i say, believable!

Not quite, When they say endless power that's a catch right there. Others maybe. If there was endless power then people would spam spike strips like crazy, counterdicting their original idea of only having 2 active powers at once.
 
Actually I think we might just see Underground in 2015. Look Ghost and Criterion are all working on Rivals which has had a 2 year development time. Underground would need the same amount of time. EA would be stupid to release a game with only a year of work, hence the believable 2015.
