NHL 19's New Trailer Shows Off Improved Hitting and Collisions
According to EA, RPM Tech represents the cutting-edge animation gameplay technology, and is set to debut in its NHL series with NHL 19. Not only will the tech deliver bigger, more realistic hitting and colliding, it will add explosive-edge skating, more control, and better acceleration and responsiveness.
Combined with the game's new physics collision technology, players are now able to hit in ways previously not possible, with much more variation and input satisfaction.
The trailer specifically uses Nashville Predator's star, P.K. Subban (the game's cover star), who has a bit of a reputation for landing some heavy hits, to demonstrate the improvements.
The video explains that, like in real life, hitting in the game is still largely about timing and coming in at the right angle. Further, EA has gone out of its way to ensure limbs and bodies react to getting hit in the most natural way possible.
As someone who makes an effort to dabble in each year's NHL release, I can say that the hitting looks better than it ever has. But looking good, and feeling good to pull off, are two different things. Here's to hoping the latter feels as good as the former looks.
NHL 19 is in development for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and is scheduled to release worldwide on September 14. Its price-point begins at $59.99 USD, but as is normal, it is available via different editions that offer more content for an increase in price.
