NFS World update from Technical Director Eneko Bilbao





Yes, World will run on this.



A view of World with performance profiling aids turned on.

... I’ve got to get back to work soon but want to answer a question that I see a lot on the forums and talk about optimizations: our system and rendering guys have done a fantastic job to get the game running at 30fps on "the piece of junk" (pictured). When the game runs OK on it, it means that on a decent PC it just rocks.

We are working hard with our hardware vendor partners, who give us access to some of the gear that you will be able to buy later this year, to get the best possible performance on their systems, but we are also paying very close attention to less fortunate and more casual users whose PC is a few years old.

On my dev system, I am well over 60 fps most of the time, and I run dev builds which are slightly slower than what you'll be playing.

This is what it’s got inside: Intel dual-quad core Xeon 3.0GHz, 8GB of RAM, GeForce 8800GT running Windows 7. The game should run fine on Windows XP SP2&3, VISTA, Windows 7; the last two in both 32 and 64 bit variants. At this point, we only plan to ship a 32-bits exe and for now, you need a SSE2 enabled processor to run the game.

Rumours of the game running on netbook grade hardware are correct, which is very exciting!

NFS World: All The World's A Stage: Episode 3


Fortuna District - Chunk of rock becomes private tennis courts for the rich and famous.



Fortuna District - Improved lighting. Sharper wall textures,
and improved contrast between sidewalks and roads makes for better
visibility.



Kempton District - Complete do-over. Simple, generic shapes replaced by more elaborate buildings and improved textures.



Kempton District - Cranes are more detailed and have better sense of scale. Some wall re-work and the road is better defined.



Kempton District - Complete rework. Added elements overhead
to increase sense of speed, road is defined and twice the resolution
from before. No longer muddy, now nice and crisp.



For those of you that saw my video interview, here's a close
up of the area that was on display on my desktop. One of my favorite
spots. I made all the signage, but our own Kevin Hsu jacked it way up
and became an honorary Italian in the process.




This is one of the areas I've personally been working on.
Who will you be cheering for? The Rockport Tigers or the Palmont
Unicorns?

在消息看來,似乎Need For Speed World Online或許都挺高要求;而從遊戲圖片來看,Need For Speed World Online的畫質與Carbon相若.
