While I didn’t get my own hands on a controller to check out the game, this is indicative of the actual demo experience EA had on hand. In this short trailer, the game takes the camera away from the player at least 6 times, and for a few seconds each time.
One of the most frustrating things about recent Need for Speed games is a tendency to take the camera from you at a moment’s notice, putting spectacle over gameplay. While the story and setting might end up being quite different from 2015’s Need for Speed, it seems like there’s a lot that carries over. The trailer is short, but it gives us a few hints at what we can expect.
