Need for Speed: Velocity

Ned for Speed: Velocity is a 2024 Racing video game developed and published by Electronic Arts, sold for the Nintendo Switch, the SEGA Super Cross, the Sony PS5, the Microsoft XBox Series X, and Microsoft Windows (7, 8, 10, and 11). Need For Speed: Velocity, or in short: NFSV, is a 30th Anniversary title that Combines the Best of the Best Need for Speed games: Underground and Underground 2, Most Wanted and Carbon, Hot Pursuit 2010, Rivals, Heat an Unbound into one package. NFSV is launched on 25th November 2024, the same date as Puyo Puyo Fever S on the SEGA Super Cross. Not only that, but with the return of Toyota in the game, NFSV was met with fandom rejoices. In Galaga!Heroverse, Toyota would have NEVER returned had it NOT be for another racing game no one would expect.
= Gameplay =
== In General ==
NFSV is an Open World racing game like its predecessors starting Underground 2. The game takes place in Speed Island, an island notorious for Street Racing (And High Speed Rail). Speed Island has Five counties: Olympic County (Basically Olympic City (NFSU1)), Oceanside County (The Coastal themed (Hot Pursuit 2010 and Rivals)), Highland County (The Mountainous themed (Hot Pursuit 2010 and Rivals)), Fortune County (Basically Fortune Valley (NFS: Payback)), and Solar View County (Mountainous and Industrial themed). In NFSV, the amount of racers are raised from a usually Maximum of 12 to a Maximum of 20.
=== Classic Style Gameplay ===
Because NFSV is the Best of Everything Need for Speed COMBINED, one of the major aspects in NFSV is the Gameplay catering. Simply put, NFSV is Everything in One Package. Starting off with the Original First Generation roots of the franchise: Race Tours with Exotic cars in Exotic places. This remains unchanged in NFSV. However, the classic style gameplay is not the only one returning from the First Generation NFS games and Hot Pursuit 2010.
=== Underground Style Gameplay ===
NFSV not only brings back the Classic style Exotic Grand Tour gameplay the first generation NFS games and Hot Pursuit 2010 uphold, but also bright back the Urban Street Racing style Underground and Underground 2 set foot upon. Because it's a Mix of the Best of the racing genre, it's possible to have Modded Tuner cars join in the Exotic Grand Tours while Exotic Supercars enter the Underground Street Racing Scene. Do we really need to remind you this is possible in NFS 2015, Payback and Heat?
=== Most Wanted, Hot Pursuit and Rivals ===
Not only the Exotic Grand Tours and Urban Street Racing are brought back, but so do Police Pursuits. From the elements of Most Wanted, the racers are illegal law breakers that the cops must bring to a Stop. From the elements of Hot Pursuit and Rivals, Racers and Cops can use Pursuit Tech (Introduced in NFS: Hot Pursuit 2010 and Rivals) as weapons against each other, and that NFSV allows you to play as Either Racer OR Cop.
=== Carbon Style Gameplay ===
==== Crew Race ====
One of the most famous gameplay style is the Carbon gameplay style, where you can have allies in your race, and Canyon Duels. To recap, in NFS Carbon's home console versions, you can only have one crew member per race, while in Own the City, specifically the PSP version, you can have up to 2 crew members in races. In NFSV, you can have up to 4 Crew Members in one race. The crew Members have different play styles, of course.
* Blockers mean the crew member will directly knock an enemy vehicle out of the road.
* Drafters mean the crew will provide the player (And other crew members) to a train styled slipstream, increasing speed.
* Scouts mean the crew member will drive through shortcuts. Drafters will follow suit, so if Drafter is activated with a Scout, it's possible to slipstream a Shortcut.
* Assassins mean the crew member will deploy Spike Strips to slow down an enemy vehicle.
It is possible to set a race where the player has Four active crew members while racing against only ONE opponent. This is through the first Boss Battles where the Boss of an Enemy Crew would fight the player on their own.
Crew members can also be helpful to the player in races involving the Police. But speaking of Police, the Cop player can also have access to Crew members too, with the same abilities.
==== Canyon Race ====
In NFS: Carbon, Canyon Race is also a highlight in the game. There is Canyon Classic, which is the standard Canyon Sprint, and Canyon Duel. Nothing is changed whatsoever, except that Canyon Classic only has a Maximum of 6 racers.
