Racing games have to feel as realistic as possible nowadays, which is even more important when it comes to authentic engine- and tiresounds.
For Need for Speed the audio engineers drove a BMW i8 over the Ebisu Circuit, to record with the electric engine the most realistic tire-sounds, without being drowned by the sounds of a fuel-powered engine.
You can read about that and sound recordings of other cars in the new article at Speedhunters:
The soundtrack of the upcoming Need for Speed was announced and 61 artists from 16 different countries will be included on the official Need for Speed Soundtrack. Among them the Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy, but also AVICII, Major Lazer, Aero Chord, Photek and Battle Tapes.

In the last years EA brought a new Need for Speed, rotating development studios. In an interview with IGN EA Labels president Frank Gibeau doesn't seem so sure, if this will continue in the future.
Gibeau believes that Need for Speed is a franchise that has a lot of room to grow, and while thus far the returns have made it worth annualizing the franchise, there’s no guarantee that will continue.
"We take Need for Speed one at a time,” Gibeau said. “We’re going to see how Rivals does this fall. We’re very pleased with it. We think it looks great. It plays extremely sharp this early in development. We have a lot of cool features in terms of how you mingle single-player and multiplayer. We’re confident. There’s a lot of driving games out there this fall. There’s a lot of competition in the segment. But Need for Speed, I think, is now in its 15th year? Its 17th year? It’s still going strong. It’s still selling multiple millions of copies. It’s got great opportunities on the PC and mobile devices. The Need for Speed brand is reaching some of the largest audiences it’s ever reached in its history. We’re continuing to find ways to tell new stories and innovate. But if you look at Need for Speed this year, we’re going to learn from it, and we’ll come back with a future announcement of what we’re going to do next."
Sounds a little like the performance of Need for Speed Rivals might lead the direction of the NFS series, especially since a new NFS has to be already in development, if a release for 2014 is planned. However you can interpret very much in these words...it could also mean which studio will get to make the next NFS game, since Ghost Games was only recently founded and specializes on EA's Frostbite Engine.
The latest part of the NFS series, Need for Speed Rivals, will have a new feature called AllDrive!
AllDrive blurs the borders between single- and multiplayer gaming. At EA's E3 presentation of Need for Speed Rivals it was shown on stage, starting with one player in a singleplayer race. Few moments later, a second player could seemlessly join the game as a cop and start hunting the racer. Meanwhile presentor Marcus Nilsson had it's joy with sending choppers to the scene with his tablet.
Joining singleplayer races, while they're already in progress, sounds like an interesting feature, which results in new unexpected gameplay situations and gives you a special kick to play with your friends. If AllDrive is really as much fun as it looked in the presentation, remains to be seen.
Sony started a new campaign Day 1 Digital, which allows you to download several games from the Playstation Store directly on their release date. At launch PSN Day 1 Digital offers games like Need for Speed Most Wanted, Assassin's Creed III, Resident Evil 6, Dishonored, Medal of Honor: Warfighter and others.
As promising this may sounds, it doesn't have much financial advantage, as NFS Most Wanted costs the same as the game in the box, which is $59.99 USD. Only as a PS Plus member you get it for $53.99 USD with preorder.
You can find more details about Day 1 Digital at the Playstation Blog US. There is no information about availability or prices in Europe yet.
Need for Speed Most Wanted features many supercars, waiting for you to drive. Today EA announced another elite car: the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport!
Beschreibung: (NeedforSpeed.de)
The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport can incite a lot of emotions in a car enthusiast. Not only is it the pinnacle of car ingenuity but it represents 100 years of heritage and engineering in the making. Honoring the late French racecar driver who surmounted the competition in the 1939 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Bugatti - the Veyron is a piece of living history.
With an engine so thunderous that it could only be delivered by Zeus himself, the Bugatti Veyron SS is in a league of its own. Producing a ferocious 1,200 horsepower with a top speed of 258 MPH, this quad turbocharged W16 engine will take you to uncharted territories.
Hear that? That’s the sound of the police blockading the interstate. So what are you waiting for? Hit the engage button and take to the skies! Move over Fairhaven coppers, there’s a new sheriff in town!
