Need For Speed Most Wanted on the PlayStation Vita is “exactly the same game” as the PS3 game. There are a few differences though.

Some of those differences are traffic density and the number of players online. This is according to Need for Speed Most Wanted producer Matt Webster.

In an interview with the PS Blog, Matt Webster said the most  “important” feature of the PS Vita version was the ability to play asynchronously. This allows point accumulation to be in sync with multiplayer and single-player.

“If you play the single-player game, and then play muliplayer, any Speed Points you earn in SP also drive your MP progression, and that’s true when you play the game on Vita too,” he said. “Anything you earn on Vita carries across to the console version. It’s a unified scoring system.

“Everything you do in the game earns Speed Points. Speed Points determine your position on the Most Wanted list. Am I outscoring my friends; have I reached the necessary score threshold to take on one of the Most Wanted drivers in the solo game; what speed level am I at in MP; what have I unlocked, and so on. I can push up my Speed Point level on PS3 multiplayer when I’m mobile with the Vita, and vice versa.”

The Vita version is fully featured and will include exclusive Vita events unlocked with the points players will get from playing the game. These exclusive Speed Points can used for a variety of unlocks in multiplayer and singleplayer.

“It’s an extra reward for having the game on multiple devices and it allows us to do something specifically tuned to that device,” he said.

Need for Speed Most Wanted is out October 30th in the US, November 1st in Europe and down under, and in the UK November 2nd. Its out on PS3, PC, Vita, and the 360.
