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.
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 , pleased both groups of fanboys out there.
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$tards.
Well I think this could be interesting. Also with regards to some people mentioning itll be out next year; I think this has been in development for a while, at least since this summer.
Hopefully open roads will be back(Both GT and Forza do the whole track based thing a lot better imo). Something along the lines of Tdu would be very welcome, with dynamic weather and time of day/night cycles. Hopefully it will have proper police chases and do away with all the modifying b@~**$ks in favour of simply racing actual proper supercars in an open world.
