NFS Most Wanted PC Version Detailed

During a recent interview with Games.on.net, Criterion's Leanne Loombe had this to say regarding the PC version of the next installment of the Need for Speed franchise, Need for Speed Most Wanted:

"The move to DX11 from DX9 has given us around a 300% improvement in rendering performance,” she says. “This has enabled us to provide an improved image based lighting model over the console version, as well as allowing us to run with higher detail shadows and reflections."

"The increased power of DirectX 11 hardware has also allowed us to implement features such as real-time ambient occlusion, and light scattering algorithms which are absent in the console version."

The PC version will feature a 12 player multiplayer count (as opposed to the maximum of 8 players on the console version). DirectX 11 support allows for enhanced additions like "SAO, light scattering, high dynamic range motion blur, high resolution textures, advanced specular lighting models, headlight shadow casting, enhanced VFX quality, and enhanced shadow quality levels."

Racing fans rejoice! It seems a fair amount of care has gone into the PC version, but we must wait until the October 30th/November 2nd release dates (NA/EU respectively) to try it out for yourselves.

Title brings the feeling of deja vu.
