Soon we’ll receive PR from Electronic Arts announcing thatBurnoutdeveloper Criterion is working on a 2010-boundNeed for Speedgame. The blast won’t a surprise — this isn’t a secret pairing.EA COO John PleasantsandEA Games label president Frank Gibeauhave confirmed it before. But it’ll be nice to have the triple confirmation (which comes together to form theConfirm-Force).
If EA corporate whispers during financial conference calls don’t convince you that Criterion is indeed doingNeed for Speed, perhaps the developer’s latestnot-so-cryptic tweetshoulddo the trick. “2010 will satisfy our increasing desire for traveling at a rate of high velocity,” it reads, “ … or something to that effect … “

Right. So it’s either a newNeed for Speedor Criterion is redoing that bike section inBattletoads. We’re up for both.
