Enraged, Eddie challenges the player to race Samantha, who gets infuriated upon the player's acceptance. Eddie is the current best underground racer in Olympic City and berates the player for his racing skills, going as far as mocking him to "take a taxi home so that he can get home faster", but the player proves otherwise. The player races other racers and wins them over, eventually drawing the attention of Eddie, the leader of the Eastsiders gang and Melissa, his beautiful girlfriend. She introduces him to T.J, one of her acquaintances, who promises him with numerous upgrades and parts, provided he wins races. The player also encounters several street racing crews, some of them being Samantha's acquaintances who befriend the player after he proves his racing skills to them. She helps the player buy his first car, although she mocks the player's choice of the car by calling it "weak". Samantha is the player's friend in Olympic City and she tours him across the import culture scene and illegal street racing therein. The player races in Olympic City in a modified Honda/Acura Integra Type R sporting wide body kits and easily winning over his opponents only to be woken up by Samantha from his sleep. Underground was critically and commercially successful, and was followed by Need for Speed: Underground 2 in 2004. Rather than exotic cars, Underground featured vehicles associated with the import scene. All races take place in the fictional Olympic City. It was the first game in the series to offer a career mode featuring a storyline, and a garage mode that allowed players to fully customize their cars with a large variety of brand-name performance and visual upgrades. Underground rebooted the franchise, ignoring the previous Need for Speed games which featured sports cars and exotics. Three different games were produced, one for consoles and Windows, and the other for the Game Boy Advance along with a version developed by Global VR for Arcades that was published by Konami. It was developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts. The full and proper reveal, which may also include the release date, is set to take place at 11 at ET on October 6, on YouTube.Need for Speed: Underground is a 2003 racing video game and the seventh installment in the Need for Speed series. The listing indicates that Need for Speed Unbound will be out on December 2, although that too remains to be seen. Why not do something a little more outlandish?" And as redditor Geraghini said, "No point trying to be realistic graphics when Forza and GT have that market cornered. Unbound is being developed by Criterion and Codemasters, two studios with extensive experience in making racing games, so it's quite possible that it will handle brilliantly regardless of the visual style. More importantly, it remains to be seen how the game will look in action, and the leaked images might actually be a little bonus for EA to that extent: We knew that a Need for Speed reveal is happening tomorrow, but now we know that it's a NFS that's doing something a little different-and potentially interesting. I'm still not convinced by the new look, but I'm also not what you'd call in the middle ofthe target demographic for Unbound (I'm old) so that's probably to be expected. Muckymuh cut right to the point with perhaps the most concise analysis of all: "Holy shit that art style SLAPS." I expected things to look worse, like way worse." "Still not a huge fan of the smoke effects and so on but the characters look really cool. "Kinda surprised how good this whole anime thing actually looks like," artem0n wrote. "Don't know why the leakers kept calling it 'anime style', to me it feels way more inspired in an urban style/graffiti and Into The Spider-Verse effects." "Ok, that looks better than I expected," _asteroidblues_ added. We still have to wait and see if the players like it or not, but at least I can give them credit for doing something new." "I'm glad that NFS is once again becoming the pioneer of the genre instead of trying to imitate Forza Horizon but with cops or something. "The art style looks very bold and daring," redditor DiamondScythe wrote. My own reaction to the leaked images was an immediate "no thanks," but the reaction on the Need for Speed subreddit is actually pretty positive.
