In addition to the engine, Need for Speed ​​has a high degree of freedom to customize automobile shapes and markings, etc. by replacing parts, and fly out that a total of five play styles such as outrow, speed build, etc. can be extremely ultimate charismatic drivers It is said that it is a racing game, so I actually played PlayStation 4 version.

I can understand what kind of game Need for Speed ​​is when I look at the following movie.

When the title logo of "Need for Speed" is displayed, press the ○ button.


"End User License Agreement" is also OK with ○ button.


This is the Need for Speed ​​menu screen. Select "Play" and press the ○ button. To play Need for SpeedEA AccountYou need to have.


For key assignment, left steering is steering, right stick is camera rotation, L2 is brake, R2 is accelerator, etc.


You are required to join PlayStation Plus (PS Plus), but Need for Speed ​​is playable even if you do not join PS Plus. However, Internet connection is necessary.


The movie began and the game started. Severe hard racing is taking place.


It was the hero who controlled the car race. A runner named Spike who saw the hero's drive technique invited him to the club.


Let's go to the club, let's start driving the car. The map displayed in the lower left of the screen is the map, and the tachometer is located in the lower right of the screen.


By pressing the "OPTION" button on the controller, you can use your smartphone. If you select "Map" icon ......


It displays a map.


The map of Need for Speed ​​is vast and it is also called the open world of the car race. You can see how big it is by seeing the movie below.

Go to the club that was invited to spike when I checked the map. You can navigate the directions with blue arrows on the road so you do not have to worry about getting lost.


Young people are dancing in the club at the arrival club.


Discovering the spike, he introduced a lady named Robin. The spike said that he places the hero in a member of a runner.


I was taken to the garage on the back of the club and I faced the travis, a ruther - run group leader.


Travis gifts a car a gift. I chose Subaru BRZ premium with one from Honda Civic Type R (2000) / Ford Mustang Foxbody (1990) / Subaru BRZ Premium (2014).


Furthermore, he was introduced as a mechanic Amy as a member of a runner group and decided to do a sprint battle with Amy.


It was a battle with few curves and a short race course, but I was not accustomed to the operation at the beginning of the game and I was defeated at ease.


After the race, Ayemi will call you at once. An incoming call appears on the upper left of the screen, and you can talk with the L1 button. According to Amy, he came to the garage anyway.


When you arrive in the garage you will be able to customize the car, but at that time the transition from live action to game screen. It is carried out smoothly so as not to notice the change, and its appearance is worth seeing at first sight.

The charm of Need for Speed ​​is the versatility of customization. Apart from paint and rap ......


Front windows and ......


You can customize everywhere such as hood.


Wheels and ... ...


You can customize even paint.


There are many parts that can not be customized at the beginning of the game, but it is unlocked by clearing the mission or raising the level called REP. Increasing the REP will increase the number of parts of the car that can be used more and more, so it seems to be good to positively raise it.


Also you can tune the exhaust system, clutches, brakes, engines and so on. I thought about tuning at the end of finishing all the customizable parts, but face the problem that funds are almost insufficient. In order to earn money you need to do the mission.


In the garage, "handling style" can be changed besides customization. The handling style can be changed for free, which will greatly affect the driving of the car. Basically I choose drift or grip side ... ...


There are so many parts that you can adjust just like car customization, so you can see what you can adjust by seeing the following movies rather than images.

When I left the garage and checked my smartphone, I received a message.


Messages are from members of the runner group.


After confirming the message, this will be a mission by inviting the race battle. We will do the mission, earn money and raise the REP level, customize the car and challenge the mission which is even more difficult.


The contents of the mission differ depending on the character that sent the message. Since the mission ranges from speed type and drift type to a wide range, it seems to be good if you change the handling style each time, try changing it and changing parts.


I try to challenge the mission at random.


The state of the drift contest which is one of the missions can be confirmed from the following.

Challenge for drift contest with "Need for Speed" - YouTube


Although somehow cleared the drift contest, since there is a problem with the operation itself, practice in the town.


Furthermore, even if you are traveling other than the mission, you can say "Hi speed" or ...


Items such as "destruction" are achieved and it is possible to earn points for REP. However, clearing the mission can get a lot of REP points.


Challenging the mission or practicing in town, I get back to the garage because the car body is getting torn.


Returning to the garage, the car body gets shiny for free. Here, I adjusted the handling style closer to drift so that it drifts a little more.


Because it became easy to drift considerably, I was drifting without doing a mission and I found it in the police what. "Police chase" starts when it is found by the police. At the police chase, "Fine Total" is displayed on the left side of the outer surface, and it can be solved by stopping at the side of the road and paying fine while the total amount is small ......


As we continue to escape from the police the total penalty rises and as we come to this point, it will be two choices, "arrested and paid a fine" or "do not pay a fine." This time, I just started the game and I do not have any money, so it is one choice of getaway.


In the police chase, you can check a spectacular battle with a police car from the following movie.

If the distance to the police is too close, the status will be "in resistance", and arrest will be confirmed as it is.


Somehow I tried to escape, but the total penalty exceeded 8000 dollars, the number of police vehicles increased, it became the level where the car body thrust each other here. Also, the road may be blocked.


Continued running away with the road turning, the status changed to "cool down" when the total amount exceeded 10,000 dollars. If you come to this place, you can hide somewhere, blow up and blur your appearance OK. It is a moment when I feel relieved without paying a fine.


When she ran away from the police, a message came from a mysterious person named "?????? (Outrow)".


The mysterious person praised the protagonist, "It was a wonderful show," and he said he was looking at the trend of the future. At Need for Speed, there are five play styles, Outlaw, Speed, Build, Style and Crew, but the hero seems to be on the way to the outrow direction.


I also decided to customize the car by coming here to help outlaw. I put all the money earned so far and decided to make the GIGAZINE issue.


You can check how you customize Subaru BRZ premium and making GIGAZINE issue from the following movie.

I tried to change the color that I flew the car body for "Need for Speed" - YouTube


That completes the GIGAZINE issue. I feel I was fiddling around for about 1 hour from the start of customization to completion.


When looking from the side, it seemed to be dizzy to look dazzling, but it looks good from a diagonally upper position.


I got into the GIGAZINE issue and spent the mission of the race team and decided to become an outro charism.


The state that the GIGAZINE is running can be confirmed from the following movie.

The content depicted in Need for Speed ​​is for entertainment purposes only. In reality it is safe to drive and you must wear a seatbelt according to the traffic rules.


"Need for Speed" has a high degree of freedom of customization, and time has passed while I did not know even by merely changing the car with Alecolle. When you power up the car with customization, the motivation to revenge in the losing race and challenge the race of the new difficulty goes up well, so it is a level to lose sight of the timing to stop honestly. Online play is indispensable and there are points that you can not pose while playing due to the specifications of the game, but it may be said that there is enough appeal to cover it. It is because you can meet various needs of players such as "Grip faction rather than drift" "I want to taste the thrill to escape from the police" to match the five playing style tailored to the player, Even those who are not interested in cars should play at once.
