Finales Update mit Cross-Play

Finales Update mit Cross-Play

Criterion Games und EA haben das finale Update für Need for Speed Heat angekündigt. Das Juni Update bringt zahlreiche Bug Fixes (Update Notes weiter unten) und ein neues Cross-Play Feature. Mit dem Cross-Play Feature können Spieler plattformübergreifend miteinander spielen. Also egal ob ihr auf der PS4, Xbox One oder dem PC spielt, ihr könnt mit euren Freunden von anderen Plattformen ab sofort die Straßen von Palm City unsicher machen. Need for Speed Heat ist dabei das erste Spiel von EA, das mit einem Cross-Play Feature ausgestattet wird. Vermutlich werden hier alle zukünftigen Spiele, nicht nur NFS, auch mit Cross-Play erscheinen. In einem neuen News Eintrag auf der offiziellen Need for Speed Webseite meldet sich Matt Webster, General Manager bei Criterion Games zu Wort und bestätigt nochmal, dass sein Team in Guildford die Entwicklung der Need for Speed Spiele übernommen hat und bereits die ersten Schritte in der Entwicklung des nächsten Spiels beschritten wurden. Dabei soll sehr auf das Spielerfeedback gehört werden. Außerdem kündigt er eben das nächste und damit auch finale Update für NFS Heat an. Auch den kurzfristigen Release von Need for Speed [2015], Need for Speed Rivals und Need for Speed Heat auf Steam spricht er kurz an und bestätigt hier auch nochmal, dass natürlich Steam Spieler auch mit dem neuen Cross-Play Feature ausgestattet werden und entsprechend mit Freunden von Origin, PS4 und Xbox One gemeinsam spielen können. Und er weißt noch auf die EA Play Live am 18. Juni hin, auf der es noch mehr Ankündigungen zum Thema Need for Speed und Steam geben soll. Eine Ankündigung des nächsten Teils ist allerdings eher unwahrscheinlich. Need for Speed Heat kommt außerdem am 16. Juni 2020 in den Vault von EA Access und Origin Access. Was haltet ihr davon? Werdet ihr NFS Heat nochmal spielen dank dem neuen Cross-Play Feature oder kommt das Update zu spät? Ihr könnt gerne auf Facebook mit mir und der Community darüber diskutieren. Und hier findet ihr noch die Update Notes für das am 09.06.2020 erscheinende Juni Update für Heat. Das Update wird voraussichtlich 1,10GB auf dem PC, 7,16GB auf der PS4 und 6,90GB auf der Xbox One groß sein.

Update Notes

Cross-play Added Cross-play functionality across all platforms. Once you’ve installed the June update, you will be prompted with the option to activate cross-play, which you can later find in the privacy settings in the game menu. Opting in will allow you to race players across PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on the same server. You can search for friends in the Find Playersmenu. Head over to the Party Menu and check the new EA Friends tab to see who’s online across all platforms. In order to create a party and invite them to your game, they naturally need to opt-in for cross-play as well. In the game, you will see icons next to players' names, indicating which platform they’re playing on, and you can use the proximity voice chat to talk to them. General Fixes
  • Improved cop car logic to reduce occurrences where cop cars significantly reduced player car health in one hit.
  • Some cops would behave very passive while in a pursuit and not perform maneuvers to stop your car. They should now be more motivated to take you down as long as they’re actively pursuing you. This is no overall buff or nerf of the cops, it just affected a small percentage of cop cars that were pursuing, but not engaging.
  • We fixed an issue where some rewards didn't trigger correctly when hitting 100% of collectables. You should now receive the vanity items Rainbow Nitrous, Black Tire Smoke and the “If you’re happy and you know it” horn.
  • Made a few tweaks so you should encounter error DR1005 less often.
  • Similarly, the probability of inventory synchronization errors has been significantly reduced.
Visual
  • When rushing through the tunnel in Mendoza Keys, you should no longer encounter solid walls popping in.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause vegetation to appear on roads when choosing low and medium graphic settings and using a specific video card.
  • The ‘Racer Challenges’ in the garage should no longer be displayed after reaching Rep level 50.
  • The ‘Rival Crews’ menu is no longer visible in the main menu when you boot the game while offline.
  • Fixed an issue where a time trial wouldn’t show any ghost car when you started it.
  • After driving to a time trial starting point, looking at the leaderboard panel should no longer be blank.
  • A specific beanie was only visible from close range, now it can also be seen from afar.
Audio
  • Cops will now refer to the McLaren P1 GTR correctly in cop chatter.
World
  • Reworked train wagon collision models in Fort Callahan to prevent your car becoming stuck under them.
  • We took a closer look at a few spots where cop cars could drive on the bottom of the ocean or riverbed. Their cars should now get wrecked as intended, and while they’re busy with their own cars, they should no longer be busting you.
Cars
  • Added a sound system interaction point for the Aston Martin Vulcan ‘16.
  • All colors should now be displayed correctly when using specific paints on the side of the Chevrolet Camaro Z28.
  • Decal interaction points for the Lamborghini Aventador S ‘18 and the Roadster variant now work as intended.
  • The second set of stock rims now is aligned with the tires of the Land Rover Defender 110 ‘15.
  • Added a sound system interaction point for the Land Rover Defender 110 ‘15.
  • When using the wide Porsche rear fender on the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8, aftermarket tail light tints should now be displayed correctly.
  • The Alchemist rear bumper for the Ford Mustang ‘65 is now displayed correctly.
  • Decals applied to the Varis front bumper of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX ‘07 will no longer vanish when accelerating.
  • You can now purchase the stock spoiler for the Nissan 180SX starter car.
  • The model of the Porsche Cayman GT4 2015 now has the spoiler equipped that is displayed in the dealership icon.
  • Added missing sound system interaction point to the Volkswagen Golf GTI ‘76.
  • Added missing sound system interaction point to the Volkswagen Beetle ‘63.
Events
  • The AI drivers would follow interesting routes in a handful of races. We took a look and they should now stick to the racing line.
  • Fixed an issue that could occur when you restarted a time trial after finishing it for the first time and beating the ghost’s time. The UI could behave in a way that would display the ghost from the first time trial run, while you were actually competing against the next best time. That could lead to situations where you thought you beat the opponent, but you also didn’t. This should no longer occur, and the ghost that you see is the one your time will be measured against.
  • When completing the ‘Picknick’ time trial and coming in second, you should now receive the correct amount of Bank.
  • You should now be able to restart the ‘Upload’ mission as intended.
We also improved overall stability and fixed rare instances where the game would crash or hang. Quelle: Need for Speed Homepage Quelle: Updates Notes (EA.com)
