Burnout dev's Need for Speed next year

EA confirms Criterion entry, out 2010
EA's confirmed the next Need for Speed game is in development at Burnout studio, Criterion games.

Speaking during its quarterly earnings call last night, EA Games label boss, Frank Gibeau revealed that the Criterion entry will be out next year (there's no chance of 12 months going by without a new Need for Speed, is there?)

"Next year's Need for Speed has been under development now for some time at our award-winning Criterion Studio," he said.

"In recent years, we failed to put adequate resources behind the franchise and, as a result, quality suffered."

What kind of Need for Speed do you think Criterion is shaping then? Whether its linear, open world of massively multiplayer, we bet it's got lots of crashes in it.

Cool! I can't wait to see what they do with this franchise.

Havent ever kept an eye out for a NFS title, not even Shift.

However, an NFS made by Criterion? Hell Yeah!

And this is coming out next year?

sweet. Hope it's another hot pursuit. With the Burn Out guys making it's bound to brilliant.

NFS Shift is the worse car based game I have ever played, handling was absolute crap. EA take some tips from Froza and GT games, make a racing game that feels sort of real. See that Wink, pleased both groups of fanboys out there.

Criterion sort it! Cool

Then give them Road Rash.

That would explain why that early leaked footage of road rash reminded me so much of burnout paradise Surprised

I can't play ea games online as I have apparently set up my date of birth wrong on xbox live and with EA's new child policy I am underage at the ripe old age of 34! So all I can say is up urs EA and thanks for ruining my LIVE experience. Not that I am missing out on anything with NFS underdog and NFS $hit! I agree the games are crap, the worst racing games out there. Mind u I am disappointed with not being able to play burnout bp online now. When I was able to play it when it first came out. Łucking EA, go pi$$ off and stop trying to dominate the world u crap ba$tards.

Then give them Road Rash.

That would be the best decision EA ever make.

So this is really not a NFS game, it's a Criterion game.
Too bad money talks like that.
I've always loved Criterion and hated NFS.

What am I to do now, that Criterion has prostituted themselves with EA money.
And what about the Burnout series?

Next Year: Criterions NFS + Criterions Burnout.
Buy both games, only to discover it's the same game albeit with different covers.
Or what?

What has become of Integrity?
What is the price of Integrity? (ask EA, they ought to know)

Bummer.

Well I think this could be interesting. Also with regards to some people mentioning itll be out next year; I think this has been in development for a while, at least since this summer.
AJB123644 on 10 Nov '09
But why call it NFS?
Why make Criterions next car-game a NFS game?

Only ONE reason:

MONEY!!!!!

Bummer.

Hopefully open roads will be back(Both GT and Forza do the whole track based thing a lot better imo). Something along the lines of Tdu would be very welcome, with dynamic weather and time of day/night cycles. Hopefully it will have proper police chases and do away with all the modifying b@~**$ks in favour of simply racing actual proper supercars in an open world.
