The revitalization ofNeed for Speedas a franchise must be going well, because theCriterion-developedNFSgame is very much alive and kicking. You can look, but you can’t touch. Wait, no — you can’t look either. Damn.
Based on what EA Games label president Frank Gibeau said todayduring a conference call, we can expect the game to come out next year. He noted that the project “has been under development now for some time,” which leads me to believethisis what Criterion has been doing alongside theBurnoutDLC. Ah-hah!
I am curious beyond belief to see if Criterion will be opting for an open-world setting similar toBurnout Paradise, or if they’ll take us back to the days of linear racing. Either way, I’m stoked. Stoked, I tell you!
