This past Thursday the good folks at EA invited the GodisaGeek team to their offices in Guildford to check out the soon to be released Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. As some of you might know the game is being developed by Criterion Games, a studio well known for the fantastic Burnout series. Taking that into account, the team accepted the invite and headed off to Guildford.
Whilst at the studio, the team got some hands-on time with the game itself (single player and multiplayer) and impressions are due to the hit the website soon, but today it's all about the interview with the games Creative Director and all round nice guy, Mr Craig Sullivan. A variety of questions were put to him and his answers were very interesting. Read on to find out what he had to say.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
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."
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!
A pulled retailer page previously listed a November release date.
I would be excited but NFS is basically dead in the water at this point, a shell of its former self.
