PS Vita Version of Need For Speed: Most Wanted Is On Par With Consoles


Criterion’s Matt Webster reveals that the PS Vita version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted is almost identical to the console version in every way, more details inside........

Webster revealed that the handheld version of the adrenaline-fuelled racer is “exactly the same game” as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, including the “same big open-world…same cars…same Autolog features and the same competition.”

“We’re really, really thrilled with what we’ve managed to do on Vita,” he said. “It’s coming along really well.”

“The important thing is that any Speed Points that I earn on the Vita or on console or PC or iOS or Android, everything is aggregated into the Most Wanted list, and that’s how you compete to be Most Wanted amongst your friends.”

One area that differs on PS Vita however is the number of online players supported. The console releases pack 12-players, while Sony’s handheld can only handle 4-players.

I am just happy that the game is a port of the console versions and not the ipad version :).

Day 1 buy why? Because it's an open world that's why.

Im getting Assaaain's creed and nfs mw.. For sure but. Black ops declassified..neee

 and... Killzone mercenary ;)

I wonder why the vita couldn't handle more than 4 players, I mean it should be able to, just like wipeout 2048. Atleast make it 8 players max.

yeah unlike lego batman 2, which was a 3ds port ._. thus no open world -_-' 

bjthebear said...

Why can vita only support 4? Is this a common theme?

I think it's the networking built on the vita not the specs. Wipeout has 8 players but is pretty laggy

LOL; "Criterion’s Matt Webster reveals that the PS Vita version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted is almost identical to the console version in every way". This to me, sounds a whole lot like:"its a true call of duty experience on psvita". LOL

edwin pena said...

i have no lag on wipeout, even with a 1M conection

edwin pena said...

Although probably im the causing the lag.... jijiji

And the 3DS version was a DS port -_-

Really dumb. The Vita is definitely more capable than that, and so is the 3DS- the PSP is proof of that. Most of the PSP Lego games were ports of the console versions- not the DS.  So lazy of TT Games to just port the DS version to the other handhelds... Pisses me off, and I won't buy the console versions, because I enjoy them more on handhelds- multiplayer is much better (though most recent handheld Lego games have had multiplayer cut....)

My only issue with 3rd generation NFS games is that there are not over 100 cars and the gameplay is too easy. Now in 3rd generation NFS games, there's wide open space and barely traffic. I thought developers would learn that by now, but i guess they haven't. Why only support 4 player? Sometimes Sony just doesn't make sense with how they make their products.

i prefered need for speed 1  :(  before all this open world malarky. and the customise options for the cars were so much better

StarWallace said...

yeah but two things...
1) COD:D is a whole new game from the ground up... they aren't even using the tried and true treyarch or infinity ward engines... and it's being made by Nihilistic who are notorious for just... bad games...
2) This is made by the SAME trustworthy game team and it's build to be an identical game... so playing on your Vita and playing on your PS3 is the same experience (with the exception of a more limited multiplayer)

love vita said...

Nfs 2 was the shit , just like saints row till now and forever

love vita said...

Opps I mean gta san andreas

Abcdvinnie said...

This is going to be a vita badass game!!!
My c0ck is angry!!!

Foo said...

I have been waiting for a real racing-game since the dawn of PS Vita.
Rigde racer = 3 level = totaly ***
Asphalt = No real car-feeling
F1 = just F1.
NFS = What there is a lack of in the above + more.

Dude said...

100% buy
