Interview with Jesse Abney - World Online comes to US and EU

Tuesday, 12.05.2009

The onlinemagazine Kikizo made an interesting interview with NFS Producer Jesse Abney.
He talks about Need for Speed Shift and the decision to lean towards realism with Patrick Soderland and the Slightly Mad Studios and that NFS Shift is based on the engine of the Ferrari game, SMS had in development.

Another nice detail is the announcement, that NFS World Online will come to North America this year and 2010 to Europe:

Kikizo: So is it two new Need For Speeds or three, that we're expect to see within the next years time frame?

Jesse: Yeah well recent announcements of the franchise were that we would diversify to a point, that we would satisfy the interests of three sub-genres within the racing category and those are action, arcade and simulation and Shift represents the entry simulation, much like Pro Street did, and Porsche Unleashed did before that. On the Wii we are focusing on arcade first with Nitro. The action open world offering is World Online that we've announced for closed beta, which we are launching later in the year in the North America and further into next year for Europe which will be a massively multiplayer, online open world experience that will live on in online space.
