NFS Undercover

To no one's surprise, EA is set to release the next installment in the Need for Speed franchise later this year in the form of Need for Speed: Undercover. In an interview with gamesindustry.biz, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said that the title is in development from one of EA Vancouver's two NFS teams. He also hinted that its inspiration comes from movies like The Transporter, though we'll have to wait and see what he means by that.

The single previous Need for Speed team was split into two last year to allow each of the two teams more time to create yearly updates for the franchise. Rather than giving one team only 12 months to create the next installment, each team would now have a full two years, with the teams trading release years, obviously. Being that the team was only split last year, the Undercover team will only have a little over 16 months to create the title, but the extra breathing room must certainly welcome in any case.

In the interview, Riccitiello also discussed his disappointment with last year's Need for Speed ProStreet, and said that the reason for splitting the team into to two was to help insure that future titles would actually be a worthy experience.

No consoles were specified for Undercover, but given the franchise's history, we'd expect to see it hit every major system.

Spoiler:

That looks too sweet. I really need to get myself a next-gen consule. Need for Speed is really dominating this genre of gaming and I'm glad. I never could really enjoy Grand Tourismo due to how realistic it was. NFS allows me to relax and just have fun.

can your car have sex with other cars in the game? If not then it's pointless.

Dude, you watch way too much Herbie. Loves bugs dont exist....well neither does love for that matter but...meh.....that's another story

I hope its better than pro street. I kinda hated the fact that they took out the free world roaming, the idea of damage was cool but i thought it would have manifested physically on the car and not just some words flashing at the top of the screen telling you that ur car is damaged. Free World Roaming plus the cops, thats what made underground 2 and most wanted fun. Those are my 2 favourites in the need for speed franchise.

umm..... pro street does show the damages that take place on your car.. Minor ones you don't see that much.... major you will see parts lifting up and totaled it really looks like a fucked up car

Prostreet was an absolute waste of programming. The game was visually stunning but that was about it, they tried their best to turn an arcade game into a simulation and phailed miserably, with any luck, this one will bring it back to its former glory.

I think it will. I mean the firestorm of complaints they must have got could not have fallen on deaf ears.

I have this game, but my system seems to lack some requirements. It's moving slow.

PC/ console cause that might have something to do with it

Yea i'm having a hard time looking past the graphics. I maxed EVERYTHING. It looks like something belong on N64. Bah! I dont think I wanna go any further in it. Racing games were never really my thing anyway. Bah! back to AOE3 it is then.
