Lifting the bonnet: Criterion talks about the engine powering NFS: Most Wanted, map size, and 30fps

For Criterion, fun is everything. Huge crashes, epic jumps and intense bumper-to-bumper racing combine to make up the hallmarks of each of the studio's racers. But in spite of the focus on playability for its upcoming open-world racer Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Criterion has still managed to craft one of the slickest looking racers on console.

Here, VideoGamer talks to producer Matt Webster about the technical side of Need For Speed: Most Wanted, starting with the advances the developer has made on PlayStation Vita.

Looks like Call of Duty's 8 person multiplayer isn't so bad after all. Vita's a quad-core system, but runs at 800 Mhz. It's probably the best Criterion could do.

A few facts to consider. One the vita's version of most wanted looks very, very stunning. Have you seen the screenshots? On top of that the maps are in an open world area, compared to call of duty's tiny maps, as well as one of the crappiest graphics on the vita that ive seen, its quite an accomplishment to even have multiplayer. So no, 4v4 for call of duty is definitely not something to be happy abt.

"Q: Is there a story mode in the game?

MW: No. Ten most wanted cars. There can be only one. Games are way too serious. We just want to get back to the fun. There's too much shooting."

Thank you, Criterion!

Looking Back to Two of Need for Speed's Best Games - Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit

Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."

Hotpursuit 2 was good as well.

I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
