While fatigue can set in with the games, (yet to even get Shift 2 barely had time for Shift). I will never get tired of Team Need For Speed's and EA's efforts with racing, drifting, and general hoonage.

@Xpgamer7: Probably a lot of sprint races and few, if any, circuit races. During the sprints, you'll be chased by baddies, explosions, natural disasters, and helicopters. In the end, the final boss is a deer.

EA Executives: "Aren't we doing to Need for Speed what Activision thinks they are doing to Call of Duty that they did to Guitar Hero?"

Didn't Shift 2 just release yesterday?  Two NFS games in one year?  The franchise has turned into the CoD of racing games.

YES. NFS needs to have to sides to it, Hot Pursuit and whatever ridiculous story game they have. None of the pseudo-simulation style racing that Shift brought to it.

So EA went from slowing down the NFS train prior to Hot Pursuit late last year, to now releasing three different NFS-branded games in about 14 months.


Do executives have no long term memory?  Do they not recall how they basically drove Need For Speed into the ground with shitty also-rans like "Pro Street", before Criterion bailed their asses out with Hot Pursuit?

It is developed by a diffrent studio which means the next NFS game would have had atleast a two years development cycle unlike the old NFS games which only had one year.

These NFS story driven games have really bored me the past few years. But this looks pretty cool.

I don't think the whole Cannonball Run connection is accurate.  It looks more like they are on "the run" as in running from someone, trying to get across country for a more important reason than Burt Reynolds ever had.

So maybe it's that Chill Factor movie we've always been promised.
