Holy crap! I just had medium seizure seeing Monkey Island in that picture. Nowhere a word about the Xbox release and now out of said nowhere this announcement. I'm stoked!
Also, the date is wrong. It's coming November 8th.
Was playing it last night and something felt off. I was sure it was running at 60FPS because it looks so good. After reading this, I went into the settings of my Series X and tried a few things.
I switched between Dolby Vision and HDR10 (because there's a warning that at 120@4k with DV there could be input lag), but this had no effect on the feel.
Then I turned off VRR and lo and behold, the games feels much smoother now.
Most Wanted (2005) has the most fun police chases, to this day. And, aside from the corny and forgettable "story", the rest of the gameplay is a lot of fun as well.
I've played every NfS that ever came out and the trend for me is, the games have gotten worse/too complicated over time (I'm looking at you Heat and that stupid day/night cycle).
Hot Pursuit 2 was fine for it's time, the Shifts were good games as well, and I had more fun with The Run, than everything that came after it.
The only other game for me to equal Most Wanted in terms of fun is High Stakes for PSX, which has a very fun campaign. The inclusion of the different cop cars (including local speech) was - for the time - an incredible feature and it created a fantastic atmosphere.
