Looks potentially interesting, Hot Pursuit was a big letdown for me personally, and the SHIFT series does not appeal to me, but this could end up being pretty fun.

This could be really cool if they create a really dramatic story line behind why you are racing. It appears in the trailer like it could be for your life.

The only two racing games that I liked were NFS: Underground 2 and Burnout Paradise... I hate Most Wanted.

If you don't get to ride around with Jackie Chan in a quasi-racist Subaru then no sale for me!

" Needs more Razor Callahan. "

I think it may be a second year running where we see a really good Need for Speed released. For the moment at least, it looks like it could be a good 'un.

I just commented on the Motorstorm Apocalypse QL on how cool a racing game made with the Frostbite Engine would be, though I'm guessing you won't be able to drive straight through a house with a monster truck in this game, so it will most likely be a dissappointing game...


Missed opportunity right there, Black Box.

The setting sounds great, though if the game page is to believed they are going from San Francisco to New York. So I guess it only has roots in the Cannonball Baker.

The CGI is total shit, but the game looks pretty sick--almost as sick as Cruisin' USA did back in '96.

How original.
Now if they made Crashtime: Autobahn Assault 3 with Frostbyte 2 I'd be so psyched.

Need for Speed: The Runs. You've eaten dubious fast food and must find a public bathroom or dark alley, or risk shitting in your pants, your car, and on your loved ones. The stakes have never been higher.

Frostbite 2 engine and Black Box. Having recently played and had fun in Need for Speed: World, I'm interested in what Black Box will do for their latest console Need for Speed entry since Need for Speed: Undercover.


I know it's easy to complain of Speed fatigue, but I do appreciate EA trying different things with their frequent Need for Speed game.

I will only care if it lets me do east to west without a single loading screen, like the Paris Dakar game of my dreams.
