NFS PS: Interview with John Doyle

NFS PS: Interview with John Doyle

Friday, 27.07.2007

Computer- and Videogames sat down with the producer John Doyle and talked with him about the game Need for Speed ProStreet:

Excerpt:

Can we expect any new car types in the final game?

Doyle: There are about 26 manufacturers in the game so everything from old-school American muscle to Japanese tuners and Euro high-tuned sports cars are in there.

The primary difference between the cars in this game and previous titles is that we've really reduced the number of ultra-high-end supercars in this game because they don't quite fit into the mould we're trying to build - you don't have to do anything to them, they're pretty impressive beasts.

There are some there but we've reduced the numbers to focus more on cars that you have to build up for yourself.

[...]

Could you tell us a little more about the locations in the game?

Doyle: We picked iconic locations - places that make sense to the culture. We've put in the Willow Springs Raceway (a famous racecourse in Rosamond, California). There are a whole load of tracks - probably the kind you'd typically see in a Gran Turismo or an F1 game. As the summer goes on we'll be revealing more tracks and environments.

How's the PS3 version coming along?

Doyle: It's going well. It'll be equivalent with the 360 version. We've had a team working on it to make sure the graphics are fantastic, and it'll have the same feature set as 360.

Are there any technical differences between the two versions?

Doyle: I think the differences are primarily with how we develop them, so how we develop for 360 as opposed to how we develop for PS3. I think the product you see at the end will be very similar. I can't say it'll be identical in every respect because they have different strengths but they'll be equivalent.

What strengths might they be?

Doyle: The PS3 works on a different architecture so the engineers had to take a different approach. The 360 is pretty similar to developing on the PC so it's probably easier for most developers to get up to speed on it. However, we've found that if you focus on the PS3 it's at least as powerful as or more powerful in certain areas than 360, so I think we'll be able to deliver quality games on both platforms.
