The new Need for Speed game
At EA’s “Meet the Makers” event held in Singapore yesterday John Doyle from EA’s Black Box studios, Vancouver, Canada had talk with Tech2 fellow.
When asked about the new Need for Speed game (pardon the horrible Photoshop job); EA would be making a formal announcement in the next 3-4 months hinting at the fact that they may go back to the whole Most Wanted-ish sandbox style of gameplay (finally!)
Also expect a brand new game mechanic since Doyle claims that every NFS game out there brings something new to the table. Underground had the whole tuner scene happening, Most Wanted was just plain awesome, Carbon had Autoscultping and Canyon Duel. Doyle says
(a) it was very well received; and (b) there’s no way in hell EA’s letting a successful game get away that easily.
So yeah, I’m guessing we can expect a “formal announcement” in the near future.
