Great stuff dude, the game looks great.

[Munky_VIII]

Going to cool to see what they can do with Frostbite 2 with this game.

[thegamefanatics]

This is hot!

[ShadyDevil]

I am now officially confused on what to buy this November.

[ThatEnglishDude]

Another NFS game? Damn.

[ShadyDevil]

This one is going to be story based so lets hope its good.

[Redempteur]

the last story based NFS was undercover and it was crap ... do not get your hopes high ..

[Cheeseknight28]

Good lord EA, that's 3 NFS games in a year's time. Why hasn't this one been called milked yet?

[Godchild1020]

There were only one this year, that one was Shift 2: Unleashed. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit came out November last year. I'm sure this has got the milked title, but won't hold value since the two they release a year or two different games, while on the other hand COD is the same point and shoot this person type of game, with a lack luster story that sales based on the name and the multiplayer, which is not a bad thing.

[Cheeseknight28]

Last I checked, November 2010 - November 2011 is a year's time. That's 3 games, 1 year. Even two in the same year is overkill, this is just ridiculous. They may play differently in the sense of one being a track racer as opposed to being an escape the police simulator, but the gameplay fundamentals are the same.

Why the hell did you bring up Call of Duty anyway? I never said anything about it. If you want to know why I used the phrase "milked" as I did, that was in response to people claiming Mario or Zelda are milked franchises.

@Cheeseknight28

He brought up Call of Duty because that is one of the most milked franchises ever to grace consoles.

[Godchild1020]

I brought up COD as an example to what most people consider milked (Didn't mean for it to come up as an insult, if it did, sorry). I agree that Mario is milked, but really Zelda, we see more Mario games than Zelda in a given year across all of Nintendo Platforms. Hell 3 new Mario games in August just for the 3DS.

On the sense of the year November 2010 to November 2011 of this year, I see what you mean by a years time. I was going by the the start of the 2011 year (January) to the ending of the 2011 year (December). Sorry for my confusion

[Cheeseknight28]

It's fine. I just didn't understand that you automatically assumed I was comparing it to Call of Duty, as that's a horse that doesn't need to beat any more. We all know that it's milked to death, it's only a matter of time before it's the next Tony Hawk or Guitar Hero.

I don't agree with you on Mario, but I'm a self-admitted Nintendo fanboy so I suppose I'm biased.

[CrimsonEngage]

Please kill this franchise. It's dead in the water.

[R834]

Don't know - the trailer seemed very promising.

[RankFTW]

Damn it's coming out in a busy window.

[Godchild1020]

Since it's using the Frostbite 2 engine, it should stand out on it's own, Remember NFS: Hot Pursuit was release on the 16th of November last year and that game did pretty well and that was released against COD: BO and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

[R834]

Yeah but this, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City are all releasing around the same time, and no doubt another Call of Duty will be released in November too.

November is always a busy time for game releases because of Christmas.

i hope NFS goes back to the good old way like Most wanted Carban i enjoyed this ones the most it was good to be out side like on the streets instead of being underground i hope thes one is like these two

[Undeadwolfy]

Underground 2 was awesome. Judging by how this seems to have a storyline, it will probably be similar to Most Wanted with a story like:
You did some shit, you shouldn't have done it, some other dude did most of it and your getting chased... hot girl tries to help you...

[HeretoSpeakTheTruth]

i hope so thats what i thought when i saw the trailer to i hope its as good as those NFS thos where alot of fun to me enjoyed them alot i hope EA can make those good didnt like the last one they made

[hiredhelp]

News just in EA to do NFS one after another.

[Godchild1020]

I want the drag races to come back and the vast customization that was in the previous NFS games. Carbon had a great customization feature, but Most Wanted had the best open world.

My heart is still with the Underground series.

[xcroptic]

This is not even News anymore... we got used to NFS games

[BlmThug]

This Is Worse Milking Than CoD, 3 Games In A Year

[morkendo23]

i seriously hope The Run is not open-world like underground 2 and carbon. DAMN!! have not bought NFS game since hotpursuit 2 .... had high hopes for criterion hot pursuit but only felt burnout instead of NFS and was not 2 player offline game SHIT!!!!
